He said he liked trad girls
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Okay what the hell is "fw it"
fw it = fuck with it
aka he wouldn't even try it
Thank you, definitely showing my age there!
Ok now what the hell is a trad girl?
Trad = traditional = usually code for conservative white Christian 50s gender roles, as sold to zoomers by social media influencers.
Chastity and decency only to the public eye, of course. In private life she should be su missive and do anything these coomers want her to.
And why is she serving mold?
It's molded tuna, as in she used a mold to shape pureed tuna like the shape of a fish, which is what I assume was a popular dish in the 1950s when gelatin was a sign of wealth due to requiring refrigeration to set.
Hi I'm new here, what's tuna?
kinda looks like this
I can understand why he didn't want to fw it.
That looks welcoming.
Don't put your dick in that.
It's what you do to musical instruments.
Who didn't have a refrigerator in the '50s?
The neoconservative ideal of a girl that is "wife material": chaste, submissive, adhering to old-fashioned feminine canons, sexist... Summarised under the umbrella term of "trad[itional]".
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that for me
Trad - traditional
Not "forward it"?
fw: fw: re: fw: re: Re: Use of reply all
No I don't think that's it
I wish I had just scanned these comments for your question and the answer. I asked AI and it slang shamed me. “Would you like help learning about more slang you have never heard?”
I have recipe books from that era and most of them are either excellent and timeless learning resources, or dubious cookbooks with characters that look like they want to poison me. No in between.
I bet Lemmy would love some snapshots!
The best are the ones that have actual from scratch recipes, none of this "1 container (no actual measurement) of this premade thing" bullshit
Did you plan on only using 4/5 of the can of whatever if the weight didn't match up? What the hell am i gonna do with an ounce of evaporated milk?
The size of "a can" changes over the course of 40 something years. A lot of older recipes don't include an actual measurement beyond "a can" or "a package".
The "original" toll house cookie recipe printed on the bag of chocolate chips has like triple the amount of chocolate compared to the actual printed recipe in the Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook, way back from the 60s
It's been a nightmare figuring out ratios of my great grandmother's handwritten recipes
One size 14 can of thing
Then I'm lost trying to figure out how a size 14 can changed and oh look they all fucking shrunk and now I've bought two and there's leftovers
Thanks capitalism! I think.
So what's your plan to do with the remainder of the can if you don't use the full thing? Your casserole will be fine if you just do the whole can
Changing the amount of an ingredient can have lots of effects, especially in baking. It might still come out good, but it's also nice to be able to make the same stuff we used to make.
What do you do with leftover food in your kitchen in general? Do you own a refrigerator?
I have a tiny 5ft fridge in a 15sq ft kitchen. I barely have enough space in my frodge for my essentials, so what am i supposed to do with an ounce of something that came in a can? I'll have to buy another can of it, which will now leave me with 2 ounces the next time. Home cookbooks call for ingredients to be used in the quantities you buy them in, because no one cares how much cream of mushroom you put in your casserole, or if you used 450g of green beans vs 700. I'm not wasting a storage container or valuable food space on a small amount of leftover ingredients that could have just gone into my dinner without anyone noticing. That seems much better than just letting it sit in my fridge for 2 weeks before being theown away
So it doesn't work for you. But hey, maybe other people live different lives than you do.
No need to be so aggressive about it.
I'm saying the point of the recipe being "one fan of this" or "package of that" is conscience so that you don't have to measure out a bunch of different ingredients. If you are making 3 meals for 5 people every day, it's a lifesaver to just crack open two cans into a bowl, a package of something else, and a stick of melted butter and call it a day.
Soup. The answer is always soup.
My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally "melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify", encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.
The mistake was to not turn it into an aspic.
That kinda looks good to me. I would try it.
That looks like Chinese prison food.
look closer and you will see The mold.
Good on OP. "Traditional Girl" is stupid. Most women in history were in tribes and ... well, I am not certain what they did. Camp fire cooking and berry picking. Some hunting. Not a lot of vacuuming or microwaving.
Those are honestly pretty good
