mainly just dirty curse phrases

Satan i hælvette ka slags fetteforbanna mannskitt e dette?

Basically just means “what the fuck is this?” but with more swearing.

Half the convos in the trans mega come to mind. From supporting and listening to each other, to talking about fun queer games, to heavy flirting, and of course accelerating each others gender ^^

Go, do it, pull the trigger, shove my words right back at me ^^

This is the #1 way to cook imo. Sometimes I pull things out of the spice cabinet and people look at me like im crazy. But then it tastes delicious! Just dont overdo it, i try to stay under 5 spices max for a given dish.

Also just understanding substitutions is good, like fish sauce and worchestershire is close enough in a lot of situations. Or rosmary and timian.

Also, make sure you have an acid in your food! I love lime juice or vinnegar for this. Needs to not be too much, but a little is important. Also thats just my taste lol.

Start lightly carmelizing onions in a pan. Once theyre lightly carmelized throw in some garlic and whatever spices might be good for what youre making. Make sure theres enough oil, as spices tend to soak it up and you want to temper them in oil, not burn them. Throw in some tomatoes that have been quartered (or cut into eighths), and cook it all together. This makes a good tomato type base, you can fill it out with more tomato, or water, really whatever liquid youd like.

Alternatively dont put in tomato and instead add some a bunch of like ginger and chili and whatnot (or whatever stuff is in your favorite curry paste), and throw in some coconut cream to get a really good curry base. Bring to a simmer and cook your veggies and protein in it, serve over rice.

When in doubt, smell your spices and oils and sauces, and if they smell like they match, go for it. Youll find good combinations that way. Half my recipes just have “green spices” or “red spices” or “ginger et al” in the ingredients list cause i just go by smell half the time.

Also, remember sesame oil as a finishing oil, tastes amazing ^^

You can also cook sauces and things in wine for to get its taste ^^ use red for tomato based things, white for fish, etc. Wine ends up in half my sauces.

I keep telling the libs in my life to watch DS9 in the (naive) hope they make the connection between bajor and palestine.
