Oh, I’d use olive oil if my wallet allowed it. But I did quit coffee not too long ago, maybe I should make olive oil my new luxury item.

I was thinking more like $30 AUD, or 130 DKK a bag in my case, which is pretty much just supermarket coffee. I used it as a reference because I feel like coffee has become too expensive lately. You’re right though, that if I bought the good stuff from a real bean roaster it’d be more the prices you listed.

The merest suggestion that I would use Xanthin gum was enough for the sauce.

😄 Sounds like it’s worth the money then.

To some extent you’re right. There’d be less content if nobody paid. But imagine current society without treats. I don’t know if capitalism without “panem et circenses” would start to crumble real fast.

when they try to lump all the restrictions into a single product it is almost always disgusting.

I can only imagine. I haven’t gone that deep down the gluten free rabbit hole, but it seemed bleak indeed.

Out of curiosity, do you use a lot of xanthan as a celiac? Seemingly that is the only gluten alternative, but it looked a bit pricey for my testing, so I omitted it.

Seeing as I was frankensteining the recipe from several sources, I wouldn’t even know where to complain if I had wanted to, so no.

Ironically this made me donate to the lemmy instance my account is on. For the cost of just 3 bags of coffee a year I raised the monthly donations by 1%. Feels good man.

Oh I’m aware, I’ve tried almost all of them and none of them worked very well in my homemade vegan and gluten free pasta attempts. (I don’t personally suffer from coeliac disease, but I wanted to see how difficult it was living as one. It’s difficult.)

What about people that compulsively correct you for using the word “normal” about neurotypicals? From my point of view it seems like they get offended by being called normal, almost like the reverse of being called weird (imo).

Nooch is nutritional yeast. It’s probably the most expensive ingredient in the recipe hah, but it goes a long way. Even though I’m not vegan, I’ve dabbled with vegan substitutions and nutritional yeast was probably the best part of that journey.

There are lots of vegan egg replacement tricks, banana is one of them. If you look at pictures when you search “vegan egg replacement” you’ll find a bunch of them. Flax seed “egg”, chia seed “egg”.
Apparently, the apple cider vinegar one is supposed to be combined with baking soda, which I’m not certain how that’d work as vinegar and baking soda reacts quite violently, releasing a lot of CO2 all at once (classic school “homemade bottle rocket” recipe: vinegar and baking soda).

I’m guilty of this. For my pesto recipe I replaced pine nuts with peanuts, olive oil with sunflower oil, basil with spinach, cheese with nooch, but kept the salt, pepper, garlic and citric acid. It’s not exactly pesto anymore at that point, but for a struggle meal it could be a lot worse.

Ja godt spørgsmål. I sidste ende kommer det jo nok an på en ting: Penge. Det er sikkert meget billigere at importere fra Brasilien eller hvor alt det soja nu kommer fra.

Selvom jeg ikke har meget at rutte med har jeg tilmeldt mig liberapay på “mellem” niveau.
Jeg afbetaler en elcykel pt. på omkring 430 kr om måneden (hvilket slutter om 2 måneder), så at give 390 kr om året er jo ingenting til sammenligning. Svarer til 3 poser kaffe.

Det lyder lidt som om at der er håb forude i så fald, for 3 år tilbage var der jo stadig corona og alt det fis, kan være at om et par år at vi ser bedre priser. Altså, en mand kan vel håbe… Men det er så også fordelen ved hvidt kød, tager kun et halvt år for en gris at blive stor nok til slagtning (ulempen er så importen af soja etc).

That’s the one quote I still like from that 70s show.

Yeah, I think they’re from a German speaking country, so not far indeed.

Som en med autisme og ADHD (overvejende uopmærksom, gamle ADD) kommer det ikke som en stor overraskelse at regeringen er røvligeglad med mig og alle os andre neurodivergente.

Men det er selvfølgelig bedre end at blive tvangsfodret med medicin og låst inde. Jøsses…

Me too! 🤜🤛

I’m from Denmark and the history of my city starts like this:

I oldtiden lå der et hedensk kultsted, indtil Roskilde Biskop Svend Nordmand opførte en stenkirke omkring år 1000.

translated means:

In ancient times there was a pagan cult site until Roskilde Bishop Svend Nordmand built a stone church around the year 1000.

It just so happens to be near Trelleborg, an old viking fortress, so the “pagan cult site” was viking settlement, but as it was the catholics that brought the written word, they got to write history.
