Me: What temperature should Brussels sprouts roast at again?
My brain: IDK, 500?
Me: Really?!
ADHD: You don’t need to double check that, it’ll be fine
Me, a fucking idiot about to make charcoal: Okay!350 for 10 minutes
ADHD blows when it comes to cook times and double checking your info.
HOWEVER! You can always put a note on your oven that says “350 for ten minutes”
It is a fairly rare day that anything you cook needs to be much higher than 350 degrees, and most loose things like veggies and chopped up meat will cook at that temp between 10-30 minutes.
So! If you have no fuckin’ clue how long you should cook your pile of veggies, bacon + potatoes, or whatever, grease it, spice it up, wrap it in tin foil so it doesn’t dry out, and stick it in the oven at 350 for… ten-ish minutes.
After your ten-minute timer beeps at you, Check how it’s cooking and then add another 5-10 minutes of cook time if it isn’t quite done yet. Rinse and Repeat until that shit’s cooked
Opening the oven will let some of the heat out, but if you’re not cooking something crazy delicate, it honestly doesn’t matter that much.

It’s always good to check the internet “How long should I cook x in the oven?”
Especially with more delicate things like baked goods.However, I’ve managed to cook some pretty tasty coconut sugar cookies with zero measuring cups and “fuckit, 350 for 10 minutes” – As well as various pizzas, casseroles, different roasted veggie mixes, and more.
Toss stuff in oil and some spices, wrap in foil, and go to town.
Brussel sprouts in particular take around 30 minutes at 350 because they’re real dense in the middle.
Chopped Potatoes is 30 minutes at 350 – Likewise ‘cause root veggies are dense af
Acorn Squash halves (seeds removed) for 30-40 minutes
Whole Carrots is about 30 minutes at 350
Asparagus is 10 minutes at 350
Broccoli is 15 minutes at 350
Bacon is 10 minutes (or a lil more if you like em crispy)
Zucchini wedges are 15 minutes
Sugar cookies: 10 minutes
‘toss shit together’ Cassarole : 15 minutes uncovered to toast the cheese on top, 15 minutes covered with foil
Salmon: wrapped in tin foil!!! for 25 minutes.
Pizza: 10-15 minutes depending on how many toppings you loaded up and how thick the crust is. Poke the center of the pizza to test cooking – you don’t want it doughy.
Notice all the ‘Multiples of 5′ we’ve got going on. Nothing is THAT accurate – we’re estimating based on averages, but all ovens will distribute heat in different ways, so exact cook time always varies.
As you cook things in 10-minute intervals, you’ll start to get a sense for which things need more cook time – judging by the density of the flesh, how much you’re putting in the oven at once, and experience with cooking that stuff in the past.
Just remember!
350 for 10 minutes
Still hungry?
Absolutely!
The average active adult needs 2,000 calories per day in order to function in a safe and healthy manner. If I’m active to the point where I consistently run 1+ hour every day, then it is far more likely that my caloric needs are around 2,400-2,500.
Considering that, a meal of 1,200 calories would perfectly suit my needs. It would supply roughly half of my calorie requirements, which is a God-send since a fast food meal is relatively cheap. It’s a great value, especially if I don’t have much time to cook or have the resources to prepare my own meals!
The average burger is going to supply me with significant protein and carbs. That’s exactly what I’d need in order to build more muscle and have enough energy to make it through a workout. Even the sugar within the meal can be beneficial in supplying me with a boost of energy and can stop me from feeling hungry for a prolonged period of time. Not half bad.
Is this the most healthy meal known to man? Of course not. But it’s still a very reasonable deal and the calorie count is well within the average adult’s daily needs.
Don’t let calories scare you! You need them. If you were capable of burning off an entire meal within the hour, you’d probably be dead by now.
1200 empty calories in a meal
next to no nutrition. all the calories are sugar and fat. that’s it. you’ll have no energy and have glucose spikes in your blood because the lack of fiber because of the lack of complex carbs. this is diabetes in a meal.
so no, you should not be hungry for diabetes
Nutritionally, this BK meal contains roughly 28g of protein and 3g of dietary fiber. It potentially also includes 35% of our Vitamin C daily requirements, 2% Vitamin A, 12% calcium, and 27% iron. Of the 1,010 calories (that I could verify directly from the company’s nutritional information guide), only 410 are from fat. That isn’t a terribly significant amount of fat, in the long run, nor are the nutrients small enough to be viewed as negligible.
Eating this will not cause you to get diabetes. Eating this meal is perfectly fine if you do have diabetes, as long as you are able to adjust your insulin intake accordingly. So don’t use an illness as your debate point – Diabetic people are not a prop.
“So don’t use an illness as your debate point – Diabetic people are not a prop.” I want that and variations of that on t shirts.
damn, man. Someone just got completely schooled by a nutritionist.
THIS A GOOD POST
I’ve reblogged this again but I feel like it needs to be SAID again. Also someone needs to please come drive me to burger king and buy me a burger. Pretty please?
I’ve had this noir detective character I’ve been toying with for a while who has everything but a central mystery to solve, and I have been promising myself every day that I will keep robots out of her story and make it a good and proper gay noir tale.
Well. I just had an idea for a very good mystery that would suit her character well. But it’s got robots.
Oh is that so?
Tumblr blog Glumshoe has an idea for a noir detective character?
It’s really off-brand, I know. I’m trying to branch out.
Ship you can’t just go off the deep end like that. That’d be like me posting about, oh, I dunno, vampires all of a sudden.
Do you think if we hugged really tight, we’d merge and the resulting fusion would write about… vampire robots?
#‘WHY WOULD ANYONE MAKE A ROBOT THAT DRINKS BLOOD’#’WHY THE FUCK NOT’
A robot nurse that’s REALLY DETERMINED to go out and get blood for blood transfusions.
it is your due date. you are healthy. your baby is healthy. in Colorado, it is NOT legal for you to get an abortion because that is not how late-term abortions work.
also no one in their right mind goes through forty weeks of pregnancy just to have an abortion, like literally nobody would ever do that
If it’s your due date (or very close) and both you and the baby are healthy, but for some reason you really want to not be pregnant, you get a C-section.
Listen, you need to stop sending me all these pet death stories. I know you’re doing it because even now there’s this need for a sympathetic ear, and believe me I read them all and I do sympathize, but I am flooded, even with anonymous asks turned off. I can’t post and respond to them all. I euthanised three pets in the last 24 hours, and returning to dozens of more pet death stories takes a toll.
But tweets and posts like those above clearly cause a lot of hurt, fresh grief and fear, with pain reaching far beyond those that simply share them for some kind of shock factor, as those reduced to tears retreat into whatever dark space they find themselves in.
I can’t argue against a viral post at every place it appears, but if you know somebody is hurting I offer you my response instead, even if it’s only to copy-paste a reply if your own words are failing you.
We can take away the pain of our pets, and in doing so shoulder that pain ourselves. There is no need to make that pain worse for each other with attention grabbing over-exaggerations. Even if these posts were not meant to harm, they do.
Caption reads:
If you could take away the suffering of one you love and shoulder that
pain yourself, would you? We are privileged to be able to do this for
our pets, but the pain we carry with us as a result lasts a long time,
and careless words can reopen those wounds in an instant.Most
pets at euthanasia are not ‘frantically seeking’ their owners. Most are
so sick that they barely register what’s going on, and some are sedated.
But if the owner is not there, they all get a cuddle or a treat and are
told how very good and how very loved they are, cradled by a vet nurse as they drift into a permanent sleep. We have our favorite patients too. Sometimes they get an apology that we could not save them.Take it from this vet: we’re here because we want to minimize pain and suffering.
That includes at the very end. That should include the people who have loved and cared for those pets too

I read your post about Euthanasia and I kid you not the moment I refreshed my dash there was a long post about how terrified your pets are when you leave when they die, the amount of guilt tripping is rly sickening and I’m greatful you are a light in the darkness on this issue
It has to stop. Most pets don’t know they’re going to die, those that are ‘trying’ are generakky too sick to know where they are or what’s going on, and if animals are routinely ‘terrified’ then the vet clinic staff is probably doing something wrong.
People just seem to get off on spreading words that cause shock and a sad twinge, not realising what that might do to someone who’s grief is still raw. And I challenge you to show me any pet owner who’s wounds cannot be reopened by the wrong words.
I’ve had a version of these where they’re cut super, super thin, nearly as thin as chips, and then put in a heap on a plate. Tornado fries. Tasty as heck. Ultra-salty. The rig the guy had was made mostly with a power drill, he’d put it together himself.
