(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
but what about dry foods supremacy
dry chickpeas anyone?
oh no, the can lost its label, the only way to figure out what it is is to open and eat it. meanwhile dry goods letting you open and close the bag whenever you please like the good sluts they are
dry good sluts
Opening and closing like that so often is how diseases and bugs get in.
Are you seriously slutshaming my flour?
Weevils are good for you
Dry goods is better than canned.
But you guys ever harvest a lot of stuff from your garden and store them in an earth cellar?
god I wish....
I rent apartment 😭 no garden
🫴
toilet oysters, a true delicacy
that is so scary.... mygosh...
the idea of me coming back and just not knowing where I might be touching a fungus..... very scary.
Don't grow mushrooms in a draw at the office.
Sign up for a local community garden.
If you have a balcony, could try out what I'm giving a whirl and do a lil' container garden! It's nothing massive, and squirrels sure need to be planned around, but herbs seem to be working out beautifully so far.
I've got over 15 square feet of soil space on my little balcony! But I did have to buy a half dozen raised beds (I did the math and the premade ones I found were actually cheaper than making my own). I'm growing a mix of flowers and veggies, just about everything has sprouted at this point and I'm guessing I'm about three weeks out from becoming a prime target of the local crows and squirrels.
rent a garden?
I eat most of it, but try to freeze the surplus
Soaking them is so much extra time. I don't want to have to plan ahead
Powdered goods supremacy
Yah, dried beans have better texture when cooked than canned in my experience. Also cheaper.
But plenty of other things that don’t hold up in quality when dried and are better canned
Oki but raspberries are super tasty, especially fresh from the bush
Oh yeah, I do need to pick up some baked beans tomorrow, thanks for the reminder OP!
not having enough beans should be a crime
that's a can do attitude
Is that an actual tin can? The link says it is a resealable container of 4 things of feta cheese. Cougar gold is an aged cheddar that is in a steel can that requires a can opener to access. The WSU creamery is adamant that it can be aged indefinitely in the can, provided it is refrigerated. The whole damn can is a single 850g wheel of cheese made at the Washington State University creamery. Curds are formed and then cut down to size and stuffed into the can and sealed where the cheese actually ages.
Canned oranges my beloved
Where do you even get your daily dose of mold??
in the used cans
Pickling is severely underrated.
Picked raspberry

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
