Currently making these bad boys, oh yeah. Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. 

Stress baking is amazing.

Today for dinner I made broiled fairy tale eggplant. When I talked to the woman at the farmer’s market about it, she told me that there wasn’t much difference between it and my trusty Italian staple, maybe that the pretty purple ones were smaller, maybe had less water. I was originally just going to pass them by, but I kept turning them over and over in my hands with a grin. I said, “I know it’s a silly reason to buy it, but it just looks so pretty.” She told me, “No, no, that’s exactly why I sell so much of it!”

We eat first with our eyes!

“Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?”

I get it, I get it, I get it, but for many people it’s a matter of accessibility, not just affordability. This fact gets a passing mention, but it’s wrapped up in so much privilege and fat-shaming that I really cannot.  Oh, most people who live in food deserts have access to cars, do they?  Cars that cost nothing to maintain and run, thereby adding no cost whatsoever to your food budget?

I wish I could be coherent about this right now, but at the moment I’m just annoyed.  Stupid poor people, it’s your fault if you’re malnourished and diabetic!  Junk food isn’t even cheaper!  Watch less television and spend that time driving to the nearest grocery store, you lazy asshole!  You’re poor, so you must toil nobly toward the grave for me to give you even the slightest amount of credit!  After all, it’s your choice!  Concern trolling!  TROLOLOL!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA NO. JFC WHO EVEN MADE THIS GRAPHIC INKDOT.  WHO EVEN MADE IT.  A MEAL

AT MCDONALDS

IS TWO DOLLARS.

WHEN YOU ARE EATING AT MCDONALDS ALL THE FUCKING TIME YOU ARE NOT GETTING SOME HUGEASS “VALUE” MEAL BECAUSE THAT SHIT IS EXPENSIVE.  YOU ARE ORDERING OFF THE FUCKING DOLLAR MENU AND IF YOU ARE REALLY LUCKY AND HAVE SOME EXTRA MONEY THAT DAY, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADD FRIES TO YOUR BURGER AND DRINK (or a drink to your burger and fries) OR MAYBE A PIE.

JFC. A family of four eats for eight dollars at McDonalds.  Fuck, let’s even assume you are able to get $3 worth of food per person, so you’re spending $12 total. And let’s also assume you are magically not living in a food desert and could in fact go to a grocery store that has things that do not come in cans.

McDonalds takes two minutes.  The cheaper beans and rice takes twenty minutes, at least.  And, in a shocking turn of events, people do not always have twenty minutes to make food. And hey, guess what!  The amount of spare time you have to fuck around doing things like making beans and rice goes down the less money you have.  More money = more free time to do basic tasks like food prep.  Less money = less free time to do basic tasks like food prep so it makes more sense economically and in terms of personal well-being (because, yes, mental well-being is in fact important) to go a fucking fast food place and get your meal there.

Let’s not even talk about the crossover between people who are disabled and people who are poor, because that makes this “analysis” even more ridiculous. The cost of making food isn’t just a fucking money game.  If you figure in the cost of access, and the cost of prep time, and the cost of having the ability to do this in the first place, McfuckingDonalds comes out as cheaper every time.

For fuck’s sake.

I figured out a way to make lemon meringue pie that eliminates all the things I hate about bad lemon meringue pie - namely, the gross, flavorless, foamy feeling of the meringue coupled with a gooey filling. Gag.

The key is cooking the meringue separately from the pie so that it actually has time to get delicious. This way, you’re drying it out a bit - not completely, but enough to give you some tasty caramelization. The crispiness will contrast the filling, which is way more interesting than having your meringue flop all over your pie. If you’ve ever had/made a pavlova, that’s exactly what you’re going to do. 

As for the filling - go with lemon curd. Use this recipe and add an extra egg yolk for a little more firmness.

And make your own pie crust. Listen to Martha when she tells you to keep your butter cold. Just put everything (butter, flour, pie/tart pan, etc) in the freezer for 30 minutes before you start.

So, here’s how you do it:

1. Make the pavlova.
2. While the pavlova is drying in the oven, make the pie crust and let it chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. 
3. Bake the pie crust.
4. Make the lemon curd. Pour it in the pie crust.
5. Place pie in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
6. Place the pavlova on top of the lemon curd.

Putting this on my blog so I can have it for later.

Since going on a (really good, admittedly) diet, FYpizza has been my source for vicarious gutbombs. Oh, pizza. I shall have you again, someday.
