"Nutrition Optimizer" (AKA "macros.cheap") is a timely math macronutrient cost optimizer, based on the cost of food at the Aldi chain. Macronutrients are different categories of food such as protein, carbs, and fat. This app will be especially handy after everybody is poor from all the tariffs. The generated diet is pretty basic and I'm not sure that many people would want to do it on a long term basis.

Ate alone tonight, so I made a wild caught herring in tomato & mango chutney sauce over golden vegetable rice and broccoli.

Prep time:
- 90 seconds for the instant rice
- 30 seconds for the broccoli
- And... I dont know... 4 seconds to open the tinned fish?

$2.50 for the fish
$1.35 for the rice
25¢ for the broccoli
==============
$4.10 for the meal

I splurge on dinner.

Do all French speakers get triggered the same way as I am when they see an English speaker talk about charcuterie and then post pictures of mostly cheese?

Hey y'all, "charcuterie" is basically a synonym for "pork" (the kind you eat cold).

That's not helping your reputation surrounding food, you know?

I'm sorry, but burrata is bland. God knows why it's become so popular.

"The complaints come as the Trump administration is dismantling wide swaths of the federal government — including conducting mass layoffs at the FDA — and filling some key regulatory positions with industry-friendly voices. The new head of the FDA division that oversees baby formula is a corporate lawyer who previously defended Abbott against a lawsuit."

This was as good and decadent as it looks. Tried a new (to us) place before the Mammoth game last night. On the table was a flier for their ‘peeps shake’ so of course.

When I make Chinese dishes like congee or soup of some kind, I sometimes don’t have the time to make a really full bodied broth.

Western style bouillon doesn’t quite do it for me (doesn’t feel ‘intense’ enough and also has different flavor profiles). I have these stock cubes made with ginger and garlic, I use that and dashi, and then I brew a cup of any black tea I’ve got (oolong or regular black tea) and I put it into my soup.

Tea- based cooking is super common and I use it for soup in this way, I also use it to smoke tofu and chicken and duck.

Well, today’s scones seem to want to be fishies And one wants tk be an oyster, with blueberries as pearls.

They were supposed to be wedges. No worries. They’re still tasty.

Not many people know this, but San Francisco is home to a large Yemeni diaspora, especially around the Tenderloin / Nob Hill area. That's why we have so many good Yemeni coffee and cake places (Delah Coffee, Haraz). Most of the grocers are also run by the community.

A newish restaurant just opened. 'Yemeni kabab & Mediterranean' . Really excellent. Some of the best falafel I've had anywhere in this city. Everything is good really. I've been really wanting this style of food (different from regular Mediterranean' as it uses more spices) so I am happy it opened. I hope it does well. Try any of the haneeth and kabsas. I love well flavored rice like that.

Very affordable lunch sets.

Spring radishes, oil.
