➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Don't you worry I will use it if I go back and get it.
It won't sit in a box unused forever.

Dang. Savage lmaoooo

I know you will.

I actually almost bought an instant pot cookbook today so I could finally start using mine but then I decided I could just buy it at home.

Or might not even need it.

It was really cheap at this store though but I might just Google ha

Sure there’s tons online.

But point is, I started wanting to use it again haha

Homegrown. Poor crop year and I went on a spree and ate all of them. The store bought fresh ones aren't hot.
While I understand the reasoning behind air frying, it's better in bacon grease. See "bacon wrapped anything" above.

Ahh okay. That sucks.

I had real jalapeños yesterday but I had to pick them off since I didn’t realize they’d be so hot.

I’m used to canned.

These probably weren’t even hot to you lol

And I agree on that one.

If you’re gonna have unhealthiness, might as well go all out.

At least for anything bacon related.

Chicken and fries and that stuff I’m sure can be perfectly good in an air fryer but I wouldn’t trust bacon anything in it haha

Or even burgers. Some stuff is better cooked/simmered in its own juices.

You guys eat strange stuff

Define strange stuff please.

For me, strange is not being able to identify, by sight or taste, the pile of nondescript <pick a color> stuff on your plate.

An example, McDooDoo's chicken parts. They say the are chicken, but don't look or taste like it. Granted, it's been decades since I tried them, so I hope this has improved.

Second example are the little turd balls of "sausage" or supposedly "ground meat" on "pizza". Tastes rubbery and looks like turd balls.

Third example, why are Chinese restaurants always near pet stores?

I don't think I've seen her. Where did you get her? What's her story?

She's our bearded dragon, I've shown her before. She came from a rescue.
She's a little stunted and was given to us because her previous tankmate was hogging all the food and she wasn't gaining weight.
We got her right after the last time I got out of the hospital. I was dealing with an infection from my IV at the time and we liked the play on the name "Ivy"
I don't have very recent photos. She's been brumating since the end of October.

Sorry. I know you must miss her

We legitimately do.
Hubby pulled her out yesterday to give her a bath and wish her a merry christmas lol. She immediately went back to sleep afterwards.

Mine has never done that. Maybe he will when he's older. We've had him for a couple years. The little one is crazy. He's been non stop all day and stands up to get picked up. Petco employees obviously spoiled that little guy. We are making him a play pen area with a heat bulb so he can get all his zoomies out.

I'm thinking about dropping my number off to the store manager at that Petco because I'm sure he would get me awesome rescue pets.

Be careful what you ask for as you just might get it.

Define awesome rescue pets. What is awesome?

This reminds me of the 3-legged, one eyed, half bald dog called Lucky. Inspires awe.

fair point. But idk, just weird combinations I guess. I also don’t like cabbage. Hate corned beef and cabbage and the pork neck bone thingy was especially weird to me. Never heard of or seen that before and it just sounds strange lol I’m sure it’s good but sounds to me.

Also all the tumeric although I’ve never tried it and plan to when I get back.

None of this is really weird or strange per se but the putting mustard and celery and all that other weird crap in tuna definitely is.

And I don’t eat that stuff anymore but fast food has definitely improved. At least some stuff. The chicken tastes like chicken now and I think they have to use real chicken and beef haha can’t vouch for the nuggets, those are still strange little random parts balls, but the chicken sandwiches are actually quite good and you get a huge piece of chicken on it and it’s actually chicken and you can tell it is and it’s good. They have grilled or fried. The lobster rolls are also surprisingly good or so I’m told. So it’s actually pretty good now.

But I don’t eat it anymore.

Sausage depends on the place. Some, maybe most, are definitely rubbery and nasty like you describe, but we just went to a pizza place last night that was all real, fresh ingredients, and kinda healthy pizza, and we got one with sausage (among many other things) on it and it was delicious.

I don’t like sausage and hot dogs and stuff in general though. The idea of ground up unknown shit stuffed in intestines grosses me out.

The third point I literally laughed out loud.

Reptiles mostly. Maybe guinea pigs or ferrets. He knows I'm mainly about reptiles. I want an iguana.
