#food substitutions

[tigergingicat]

One of the things about substitutions is that they fail to take advantage of the ingredients you *can* use.

I know it's possible to make a vegan vanilla pudding, and that with rice flour vanilla "snap" cookies could be amazing.

I know it's possible to make a vegan creamy drink (and commercial dairy eggnog tends to have guar gum anyway), and one could totally add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to it, with rum or brandy if desired.

If I were a recipe blogger, I'd do my best to say "this recipe does not accept substitutions, but if you already know how to make [thing] you can try it with the additional flavors here."

are the dogs in your universe colorblind? and if so has that effected the popularity of different dye colors in any way?

The dogs in my universe see the same spectrum of color humans do. This is one of those seemingly small details that would cause big, dominoing changes in their worldview and culture if I altered it, and I feel like it's just not worth the hassle. Dogs in real life see blue, yellow and muted green fine, but red and orange are completely absent, and my art tends to be more warm toned, with recurring reds and oranges.

Facts about recipe substitutes?

I feel like using a can of soda with cake mix is great if the person of the hour has an egg allergy

Yes, I made this explanatory graphic some time ago:

Please do not do these though, as some will kill you and others will kill Adrien Brody. Which are which may surprise you...

Dunno what yall are discoursing about ever but look at my successful first ever Friendsgiving spread

[leatherdyketerror]

i'm gonna say it. the way some of yall even in seemingly progressive circles get so fucking defensive when veganism gets mentioned or suggested as if it's a personal attack is incredible. obviously i'm excluding the edge cases where it's completely impossible, i.e. due to disability or living in a food desert, but like come on. come on. not everyone who fights tooth and nail against examining their own biases on the topic is in those situations that make any efforts towards veganism impossible. like you don't have to go full vegan immediately like a switch but at least try perhaps

every time I make banana bread I search the internet for my go-to recipe (because I never remember to save it to my bookmarks) and then I find a recipe that looks vaguely familiar and I’m like “aha! yes this one is definitely my go-to recipe” but then halfway through I’m like “hmm I don’t remember this recipe going like this. must have been a different recipe” but I follow it anyway and the banana bread comes out absolutely delicious and I say “wow! this should be my new go-to recipe” but then I forget to save it to my bookmarks and the cycle begins anew

what really sucks about having both adhd and food allergies is that food tips are never geared towards both.

adhd food advice is like: have a handful of nuts for some protein/a quick snack! can’t. i’m allergic

then allergy friendly recipes are like: here’s an easy recipe that’s just 20 steps! like bitch? you think my adhd ass can handle anything more than 2 steps?

just the hoops and hurdles i have to go through to find food that’s 1. easy to prepare and 2. safe for my allergies is kinda ridiculous

tldr: having food allergies suck and the adhd doesn’t help at all

(though if anyone has adhd and allergy friendly food ideas, please lmk! i’m allergic to peanuts, all tree nuts, all beans/legumes, and peas)

If anyone is looking for a way to volunteer in their community, check with your local food bank/helping hand/etc. The one I volunteer for is desperate for help, and even if you don’t have a ton of time, there are things you can do to help out that don’t take all day.

I made homemade dough and homemade picadillo so I could make pastelillos like my grandma used to make. They were delicious 😋 😍 Sometimes, when I don't feel like making dough, I use egg roll wrappers. They are a great and easy substitute for homemade dough. I love pastelillos. When I was a kid, my grandma would make large quantities of them, and I'd eat 10-15 at a time. My grandma loved to feed people so my voracious appetite made her very, very happy 😊 If Mother Teresa came over for dinner and only ate a little bit, my grandma wouldn't like her vey much because she no eat very, very good, but if Charles Manson came over and had thirds, she'd say that this boy might be a little crazy but i like him because he eats very, very good. If you ate well, my grandma would love you. Thankfully, I ate very, very well. I love my grandma. I miss her, but when I cook her food the way she used to cook it, I feel close to her. It's like she's standing right next to me. It's a wonderful feeling. 💜💜💜

CONFNEECTION BUILDING I LOVE YOU CONFNEECTION BUILDING............

YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S A WHOLE DEPARTMENT DEDICATED TO FOOD. SWEETS EVEN. AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT

If the thneed-making part of the factory has these giant spools and such, I wanna see what kinda machinery the confneection building has- Giant mixers and rows of ovens and super tall rolling ladders! Using rollerskates to get around faster! PASTEL DINER AESTHETIC

And you already KNOW it smells amazing in there- I wonder what the uniforms look like!! The possibilities are endless and I love it sooo so much

Thneeds aren't just selling like hotcakes, sometimes they ARE the hotcakes! Butterfly milk frosting and ice cream and gum, truffula fruit pies and syrups and wine and lemonade and jelly filled donuts!!

WAIT if cinnamon comes from inner tree bark then what if there's a spice you can get from truffula bark- WHAT IF IT TASTES LIKE BUTTERSCOTCH
