I've been enjoying avocado toast in the mornings.
ah yes, alligator pears.
Oh cool, thanks for sharing
A biologist calls it persea americana, but avocado derives from the Nahuatl word ahuacatl, which also refers to a certain part of the male anatomy that the fruit somewhat resembles. In English, the word has almost the same pronunciation as the Spanish abogado, “lawyer.” In Mexico it is called the aguacate.

Use your imagination to understand why the Aztecs called it the fertility fruit. Legend has it that an early English description of “avocado” called it the “avogado pear,” leading to the misunderstanding of “alligator pear.” The fact that the shell of the fruit looks vaguely crocodilian doesn’t hurt.

It's worse than you think, it was 30 dollars for a variety of salts (though my Ma got it on site, so it was much cheaper): https://jacobsensalt.com/collections/pa ... x-vial-set

I gotta say, it was an awesome gift, and I really, really, really, really have been enjoying it. Making a fresh arabiatta garnished with pinot noir infused salt? Yes please!

The pink, at least in Himalayan salt is from trace minerals. To me it's on the gimmicky side since I don't taste a big difference, and it's chemically so similar.

HOWEVER, if you're looking at the juicemom gifted salt set, that's Pinot Noir infused salt, which is super good on red meat and in something like a red sauce

Other than the lemon zest on avocado toast, the big winner is the Ghost Chili infused salt on Salmon.

This is pretty cool! This guy goes Steam dumpster diving for "Soulslike" games that he hasn't heard people talking about. Most are awful, some are not, and some straddle that delicious line between awesome, awful, and whatthefuck. A couple have legit made it onto my steam wishlist.

(oh also, this is just the first video in his playlist of like 8, he goes through about 50 games.)

also i agree iron pineapple is pretty cool. i like his delivery, and he seems to actually be looking for things ... genuinely, rather than making list based things for the clicks. although it does seem to have completely taken over his channel. but i guess he's always been a dark souls channel so

gamers get mad when game developers have progressive political opinions even when those opinions have nothing to do with the game
