Starbursts

. Starburst curation

My office has a communal candy dish that includes the little two-packs of Starbursts. A coworker has taken to opening these packets, eating only the Starburst flavors they like (pink and orange), and leaving the remaining Starburst squares (red and yellow) behind for others. On the one hand, this strikes me as absolutely unhinged behavior. On the other hand, this unhinged behavior means I also have a whole slew of red Starbursts (my favorite) at my disposal, without even having to gamble for them. Am I obligated to say anything about this behavior, for the greater good? Or, with two Starburst-happy employees in balance, am I in the clear to continue letting crime pay?

I’m not sure there’s anything unhinged happening here! If your coworker is opening all the packages and removing the pink and orange Starbursts so there are none for anyone else, then yes, this is boorish behavior. But if they’re just taking a reasonable amount of candy and putting back the individually wrapped ones they don’t like so someone else can have them, this is what top minds consider a classic win/win.

Either way, you are under no obligation to speak up and may continue enjoying the red cast-offs without qualms.

Brussels Sprouts That Fuck Like Hell

Hardware

Baking sheet

Parchment

Mixing bowl

Software

1 - 1.5 lbs. Brussels Sprouts

4 oz. bacon (about 4 or 5 strips)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 tbsp. brown sugar

2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. ground mustard

1/2 tsp. black pepper, or to taste

Procedure

Preheat oven to 425F and line baking sheet with parchment.

Trim the stems of the sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Keep any leaves that fall off.

In the mixing bowl, toss sprouts and loose leaves with olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and mustard powder until sprouts are evenly coated.

Dice bacon into ~1/2 inch bits.

Spread sprouts in a single layer on the parchment lined baking sheet, cut-side-down. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.

Sprinkle diced bacon over the top so it's evenly distributed across the sprouts.

Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy.

Optional:

Toss some chopped walnuts or pecans in with the sprouts

Crumble some goat cheese over the sprouts when they come out of the oven

Add a drizzle of fresh lemon juice for a little brightness

Use maple syrup in lieu of brown sugar

Okay stop boiling your tiny cabbages they're nicer roasted okay I love you all mwah mwah

#recipe blogging with Pi #these are very very easy. the effort:payoff ratio of these is very good #if you need to bring a side dish to a family gathering these are good to show off with and reheat pretty okay #inspired by my brother in law who did a sautéed sprouts situation with candied bacon and chicken stock thanks vic

Typing "capsaicin snake effect" into the search bar so i can figure out if yakumo can eat spicy food

#it's telling me that primarily mammals are affected #and the few times they tried it on snakes #it didn't really do much except mess with their processing abilities a bit #so what you're saying is that yakumo will primarily not be affected by spicy food.#but maybe with super spicy things #he might get a lil loopy? a lil nose clogged ? a momentary distraction? but no pain #if yakumo's tears are mala sauce then it only makes sense that he can eat mala amirite #mammals are the ones who suffer huh.........#i am imagining the yokai trio eating some hella spicy food #yakumo is eating unaware of the presence of capsaicin. he's happily describing the textural and flavour profiles of the dish #garu is a lil confused. this food hurts a bit. but it's still tasty so... gotta keep eating.. OW drink milk? THEN EAT MORE! YEAH!#kuya is OBLITERATED #for all we know the version that kuya got could have only been seasoned with a bit of black pepper #but old fox scrunches up his entire face as soon as it hits his tongue #and he slams the dish into the trash (with dramatic angry flair) like he's a veteran judge on a cooking show #garu WILL eat that thing out of the trash if you don't stop him #if rei is more bird than man then he won't be affected either #i'm gonna go ahead and think even if he IS more man than bird... he'll still be unaffected.#rei probably eats toxic waste akin to blade and garu levels . he is beyond human. he has experimebnted beyond Mortal Stomachs #blade is in the corner crunching on what you THINK is a candy apple. but it is not that. it is an orb of molten glass #(blade's spicy food is hot metal? yeah. he'll eat that capsaicin like it's nothing. give him an orchard of chillis.)#(actually. maybe don't. because the next time eiden sucks him off there gonna be some COMEDIC consequences)
