kale rox but yeah it at least needs a good steam until it's bright green

I started eating kale in 2006 before it was cool, because it was (then) the cheapest leafy green at the organic store and my husband and I were 25 and 26 and we had a 1 year old baby and needed to eat what was cheap.

Cheapness was the only reason I ate it. Then it became more expensive than spinach and I was like WTF you gotta be kidding me, nobody's gonna pay that much for kale

well, I'm certainly not going to pay that much for kale

It's ok. It's nothing special. It adds nothing to any dish IMO

I always make colcannon with cabbage. I'm so scarred from all the kale I forced us to eat back then, because it was cheap, I just can't stand it in anything now

contemplating about how I've had a lot of great experiences in the last 2 years really

But the entirety of the days I actually enjoyed add up to about a week

well at least you seem to be over that heartbreak quickly

I'll tell you something else I hardly eat now: cauliflower

that used to be a vegan staple because it was so cheap and filling. I used to make hummus and then chop up a bunch of raw cauliflower, celery and carrot be all like look I'm having hummus and crudités for dinner, how lovely

and then there were Indian spice dishes like Gobi Jalfrezi and Alu Gobi.

Now look at the price of cauliflower would you, now that all these keto and paleo types are onto it

can rich people just stop being interested in cheap staple foods please

I wonder if Shallowed is still vegan now

I’ve stopped short of saying your behavior on here is crazy but it is. Nobody has to say anything to hurt you. You get that done yourself.

Yeah, I get that. Cabbage is good too, provided your partner can keep his or her side of the sheets neatly tucked in at bedtime. 👍

Yeah, I don't ride for cauliflower either.

Not sure, as I haven't tasted him in a while...

Sounds like someone needs more fiber in his diet. Have you considered adding any leafy greens to your favorite dishes?

could've just gone to the regular store.

and i hate that we feel compelled to say shit like this. a well-off honkie called me "bougie" (god, what a stupid word and i bet they think it's real) for saying i like avocado on toast, but my poor-ass Mexican father with an 8th grade education ate avocado on toast and was a vegetarian. he also collected vinyl and books, was well-read and "into coffee", which he made me drink with black beans. now everything we did together is trendy.

yeah, it's true. We would have had a lot more food if I'd shopped there. I shop at the regular store now. I went through an organic stage when we had our first baby. we ate practically nothing processed because we couldn't afford it. we basically just ate fruit and vegetables, oats, rice, lentils and a tiny bit of ground beef and some chicken wings each week. Maybe nuts and eggs if we could afford it.

I had all this paranoia about feeding our baby bad/unhealthy food. I'm over that now, mostly.

Yeah my mum grew up in Samoa where they had an avocado tree, so she grew up eating them every day when they were in season. And mangoes. And hormone-free, free range pork. And wild pole and line caught fish. And organic fresh coconut water. People are fucking stupid

You know whose worse then trendies? Ppl who give a shit about what's trendy or not.

i just got wet

which reminds me. i've developed some serious bladder issues. like i piss 20-30 times a day. it's pretty ridiculous. sometimes when i am out perambulating i really need to go. so i usually scurry off into this little forest area. yesterday i did that, but when i finished, i found out that i wasn't really finished (i was nervous ok) and spurted a nice generous stream of piss into my pants. stained the left pant leg real good and dark. so i had to walk back home with pissed pants.

i tried listening to metal but it didn't help.

go see a doctor?

i have no insurance?

Excuses, excuses

maybe if i taped a catheter to my leg i could just let it trickle out by my shoes

yeah elph is the worst.

hmm. maybe i spoke too harshly. i was just thinking the other day how ppl give elph too much shit. how he really isn't that bad of a guy.

aren't you around some sort of medical teaching institute? go find an urologist and at least ask, please. you piss way too often, my friend.

I also have a film rec for you, sounds promising to me even if critics rip it a new one, Lords of Chaos by Jonas Akerlund.

i will be ok. i should start earning enough to buy insurance, then i can go get this looked at and other things (my blood pressure is way too high).

i don't know about that movie. i've watched a number of documentaries about the subject and read up some. this looks like a pretty glamorous take. still, i might just check it out.

what does that even mean?

go see a doctor. there could be all sorts of thing wrong with you.
and if not, that's great (I GUESS), but just the frequent weeing and the trouser pissing is bad enough to get that sorted out.

if you have no insurance you have to pay tons of money to see a doctor. welcome to america!

and i pissed my pants because i was nervous and zipped up prematurely. i'll be fine, friend.

This is mostly accurate, but he brings shit on himself by acting cooler than thou. I'm sure he's an okay guy but this character of his needs to die like, yesterday. He should be entering his post-elph stage by now.

I never have any idea what's trendy that's why I come on here to learn which bands I like are cool

ooh image-obsessed and modest
