i’m SO curious about the different things people around the world drink and eat and keep in the fridge to make meals with so could you please reblog this with photos of the inside of your fridge and freezer

This is the hardest quiz I've ever taken. I have a Fuji next to me right now. Braeburns are my favorite non-hybrids, but they're not on the list. Envy and Jazz apples are both hybrids of Royal Gala and Braeburn, so I picked Envy.

And those two might be my real favorites now anyway. Idk; it's hard to find Braeburns anywhere, so I've never tried them side-by-side.

You Pink Lady lovers are missing out. They're sweet, and they're fun to look at, but they don't have as much flavor as Envy and Jazz. Which are plenty sweet too.

(You Honeycrisp lovers are missing out too. My ex, who grew up on an apple farm and has an MFA in Creative Writing, says they're like a "de-saturated" Fuji or Braeburn.

You Granny Smith lovers are probably just baking pies, I can't object to that.)

…well?

Reblog for larger sample size, etc. Go eat an apple.

Hollow Knight food concept art I’ve done this before, but I wanted to go into more depth on the processes and ingredients used

I’m slowly amassing the ingredients needed to bake a cake

Chocolate chip but chocolate chip cookie dough is my favourite. I also had this banana fudge ice cream once that was really good.

Absolutely! You just reminded me of these amazing loaded nachos I had when I was in Nashville, had just found out that I was pregnant. Brisket, three types of cheese, avocado, black beans, anything you want really. Thank you. I actually have triple. Ireland, UK, and US.

homecooked meal? do loaded nachos count because i can eat that every night for dinner and be purely happy. nachos never steer me wrong. ate that so much growing up as a kid and it remains top tier. please do! oh gosh, that's a crazy process in itself. congrats on that, though, babe! do you have dual now then?

Not a pumpkin pie fiasco -- that sounds like quite the holiday travesty, especially when I myself am a big fan of just about pumpkin anything. Look at us, though, being good people. We should be proud.

i have a cousin who does that — bothers about my love life since me and my fiance ended things. they'll say how close i was and all that, it's the worst. i do know they mean well though. i also have a food as well it's a pumpkin pie that's just not there. it's so lumpy and just — not good. so i always said they'd get better in time, but it's never changed and now i'm just being sweet, to not break her heart. similar to you with yours — though, a pineapple cheese casserole sounds all kinds of wrong to me.

Okay THANK YOU for saying “your body craves what it needs” is bs because that felt like bs this whole time.

Like you don’t need more sugar if you crave sweets that is NOT what that means. Sugar is a food that people crave because it tastes good/sugar I think is an addictive food??

Idk it just felt like people making excuses when they’re supposed to be trying to eat a little healthier (healthier, not low cal, not low fat or keto or whatever. Diets are bs but craving sweets does not mean sugar is healthy thing for your body rn)

People crave sugar because it tastes good, which is not a bad thing, and there is an evolutionary reason that sugar and fat taste good to us. Carbs are your body's favorite thing because it is SUPER easy for your body to break them down into useful molecules.

I'm not a fan of the idea that any foods are addictive and I'm skeptical of models that suggest "refined food addiction" is a thing with a measurable, real-world impact; there's a lot of debate in that area of nutrition science and to me it kind of seems like the tools people use to track food addiction aren't really examining the addictiveness of specific foods, but are decent screening tools for people who have compulsive behaviors around food (for instance, one group of people who the Yale Food Addiction Scale has repeatedly been demonstrated to be REALLY good at identifying is people with anorexia).

But your body needs sugar all the time, whether that's in the form of complex carbohydrates that get broken down into simple sugars by your body, or simple sugars that you stir into your tea that then gets sent to your cells as energy. If your diet doesn't have enough sugar in it, your body has a processes to turn non-sugars into sugar so that it can use the sugar (gluconeogenesis!). Sugar is unambiguously good for you in the way that fat is unambiguously good for you. You need sugar to survive and it's not a bad thing if you want to have a cookie or a soda or some candy, and again - your craving probably isn't telling you that you're deficient in a specific micro or macronutrient, but I still think that you should listen to your craving.

Like, I don't know how much you know about psychotherapy but the attitude that a lot of diet-focused discussion takes toward cravings reminds me of cognitive behavioral therapy. "When you crave chocolate, no you don't! Don't think about the chocolate, you actually probably need starch or sugar or something, let's redirect that into having a banana, or some frozen berries, or some spinach. Point away from the unhealthy craving and into the healthy replacement, or, better yet, ignore the craving. Mind over matter. You choose how you act."

(I actually think "X craving means that I want Y food so I shall replace it with Z, which is similar" "craving salt means that I am dehydrated and need electrolytes so instead of potato chips I'll have some soup" is how this goes most of the time. I think this is a diet culture thing, not a food positivity thing.)

And you know what I think that's a garbage way to look at both food and emotions.

When I'm craving ice cream it's not because I've been mostly vegetarian for a week and am low on dietary cholesterol (AN IMPORTANT NUTRIENT. Don't be scared of consuming some cholesterol), I'm craving ice cream because sugar and fat taste good. So instead of trying to pretend that I'm getting "what I need" from a piece of salmon the size of a deck of cards with no salt and some lemon squeezed on top, I'm going to scoop out a moderate portion of ice cream and eat it while focusing on how much I enjoy it. And I'm going to do that instead of sitting down with a pint and a spoon while I'm stressed at work and eating something that tastes good to distract from the fact that work is stressful. (And sometimes it's fine to sit down with a pint and a spoon but I will say that's generally best not to do while you're in the middle of something stressful)

And if you want to relate that back to therapy I see this as more of the DBT approach. I've accepted that I want ice cream so I'm going to eat it in an intentional way and enjoy it instead of eating so much that I don't want dinner, or that it makes me feel sick, or that I eat it without noticing it because I'm using it as a distraction instead of a snack.

I'm not trying to shut down the negative emotion or shun the "bad" food, I'm accepting that I have that emotion and I'm working this neutral food into my day so that I'll feel good tomorrow and won't get heartburn overnight.

So I see that you're trying to be kind of anti diet culture here, but I don't think people need excuses to eat sugar, and I actually think that making excuses to eat it is significantly less healthy than just eating the sugar (which, again, is unambiguously healthy to eat as part of a varied, filling, nutritious diet). It seems like you may have internalized some ideas about sugar that are not great even if you are trying to separate from diet culture.

Nobody is ever going to eat a diet so healthy and nutritionally complete that they don't want candy or cake or cookies sometimes. Food is not only fuel, it is entertainment and culture and comfort and distraction and celebration and a million other things, but it is not bad. I don't think there's a single universally bad food out there, or any food that never belongs as part of someone's diet (unless it's something you're allergic to - I don't care if you're craving peanuts, do not eat peanuts if you have a peanut allergy).

So it's okay to make sugar, you don't need to make excuses. It's okay to eat sugar if you're craving sugar, even if that's not what your body "needs". But also sometimes a craving is your body saying "I'm hungry and this sounds good, please feed me" even if you're not a finely-tuned spectrometer that's craving blueberries pie because you actually need antioxidants from the blueberries (you're not a finely tuned spectrometer, you don't need the antioxidants from the blueberries, it's perfectly fine to just eat a slice of pie).

was this how the others felt when she misinterpreted their overcomplicated expressions? nah, it couldn't be. she spoke as simply as possible just now. this person was just dense. "you don't sacrifice the pie," anya said with a roll of her eyes. "the pie comes after the sacrifice. typically it's a turkey that's sacrificed."

"Oh?" She wasn't sure she believed that but who was she to argue? "Why would you sacrifice pie?" There was a lot about this world that she didn't understand. She wanted to go home.
