dizastar posted:i made a stew of mushrooms, broccoli and chickpea in coconut milk with curry, garam masala, turmeric, ginger, garlic with a base of onions. its very good, i ate it with red rice. it was very good but i underestimated the slightly unpleasant smell broccoli has when cooked in that kind of setting since i usually stir fry it with olive oil.
unwanted tip from grandma: for broccoli (and hell, anything green) generally what I do is add it last once the meal is basically finished so it can just barely soften a little then serve immediately, otherwise I tend to get distracted juggling too many tasks and overcook it
Petrol posted:trying not to be paranoid about corona but my dad is in four of the most serious fatality risk groups and it makes me not want to go to class in case i become the vector for the infection that causes his death. not really a rational fear since there's no confirmed cases of community transmission here yet but i also, naturally, have no faith in any of the authorities meant to keep the community safe
yeah Most Jokes Aside i am a little concerned about both of my feeble grandmothers, stay safe beloved old ladies.
meanwhile i think i'm going to start working on a veggie garden.
my brother lives out in the sticks here and has already started on his. gonna go out there this weekend, and we're going drink beer and talk about gardening

You saw Corona dog?? Seven days
That being said, it’s really almost just like delaying the inevitable, but at least that smooths the hospital demand curve and allows time for response to potentially be more practiced.

that's precisely the point, the genie is out of the bottle now and corona spreading through all populations is not a matter of 'if' but 'how quickly'. even the best healthcare systems in the world have finite resources, and the exponential increase in infections where insufficient measures have been taken means choices have to start being made about whose medical needs take priority (across ALL medical conditions). the west had a good 6 weeks with sufficient knowledge to prepare action plans and ensure mass testing capabilities are spun up, and those governments that refused to do so due to economic concerns are about to become mass murderers behind this.

rip old buddy. may we post together again in heaven
it is imo demented and wretched how many people online were like, “hey don’t think you can use this time to write something you want to write or be creative, you should curl up and avoid disappointment”, such complete capitulation to the exploitation of labor and its ideology
