Foggy haters are so weird. But especially those who hate foggy in Matt’s name like you know Matt would fucking hate you right? He would defend Foggy to you, till his last breath and then BLAME himself for being the reason someone hates Foggy. If you hate Foggy you hate Matt Murdock. Point blank.

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

  • Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.
  • “its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.
  • Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.
  • Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)
  • You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.
  •  I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.
  • If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.
  • Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good

Hey this post is pretty good but please always wash your rice. It’s not to make it taste better, it’s to remove aflatoxin, which is created by a very widespread type of fungus and as such is present on most unwashed produce. Chronic exposure to aflatoxin leads to higher risk of liver and gallbladder cancer. I don’t blame anyone for not knowing this, as I didn’t until I started taking classes about cancer for my microbiology degree. Please always wash all of your produce and especially your rice, as it has a much higher surface area to volume ratio meaning that it can have a lot more aflatoxin on it than other produce if you don’t wash it.

Containers (specially preppred) in the back of the fridge can be helpful with maintaining airflow!

Packing your fridge tightly can block the movement of air around the back of the shelves. So rather than having a natural internal circulation of cold and warm air, you wind up over cooling (if not freezing) food at the back of the fridge, leaving food at the front warmer for longer, and making the compressor run for longer. Your food doesn’t cool properly and your electricity bill goes up.

If you have a problem with pushing food to the back, use an old container (even if an old washed out takeaway container) with holes cut in can help prevent accidental cluttering.

And to note about aflatoxin- it isn’t degraded to reasonable levels at temperatures used to boil or steam rice. Roasting at above 150 degrees celcius for at least half an hour to an hour can reduce levels by at least 80%, but boiling or steaming rice wont result in significant redutions. While suppliers will eliminate affected grains where possible, washing immediately before cooking can be an effective way to reduce levels.

My dad, he’d catch him and trap him in the corner. Let the devil out. I didn’t understand it, you know? What he was feeling deep inside, I didn’t understand it. N o t   b a c k   t h e n .
