Just saw a Reddit post about how the quality of store-bought root vegetables is becoming worse recently and damn I feel not insane anymore. Everything is so low quality these days and sprouts a day after you buy it. Of course no store has really fresh produce but I swear it was at least a bit better back then. I've started buying produce and eggs from farms directly or sources not too far from them and it's been life changing, I don't mind paying a little extra sometimes when they need the money.

An Ausfag and I've noticed this too. I get my produce mostly from this service that delivers produce rejected by supermarkets to your door each week (usually because they aren't the right size or shaped weird) and it's actually been the best quality produce I've had in yonks. You're getting it directly from and supporting local farmers too.
I wouldn't suggest it if you're a by-the-book recipe follower, but if you can usually whip up things with whatever you have on hand then it's great.

AYRT and I'm shocked it isn't because it's such a good service. And this way everyone's still making a profit.

Like are there people out there who don't want to eat a cucumber that's a weird shape or an eggplant with an extra digit?

Not really when you look at where population density lies, most of the rural farmland is not heavily occupied and the lack of access to spaces for growing your own food is an actual issue for a lot of the American population, even if an individual had a desire to.
Americans are not as alienated from food sources as >>2485290 would imply, but when it comes to how 90% of our food arrives on the table and the mechanics of industry that facilitate that, they are actually unaware. This isn't a rag on Americans in particular, but a testament to food production in a modern economy of scale. Even the upbringing of your average potato looks nothing like how you'd imagine it to be as a need for minimal waste with maximum profit (yes, a lot of food does get thrown out for not merting standards, but it is within a company's best interests to make sure as much of the food meets standards as possible) entails highly complex and even automated systems of agriculture.
I hope this doesn't sound like scaremongering as I don't think this is inherently bad– to support the demand of modern populations accustomed to largely having whatever they want available to them, whenever they want, this evolution is necessary. I don't know why people take such offense to the insinuation that they don't actually know where their food comes from. You generally hardly know how your water, the materials that go into your clothes, or the furniture in your home, were produced, either, unless you're in the very small minority who are fully self-reliant. That's how things are these days.

That's a tough combo, but I've actually used it before for psuedo-burritos/wraps:
>cook chicken as appropriate for its cut w/ cumin + whatever mexican spices you want to add
>cut sweet potatoes into whatever shapes you want, coat in oil and a bit of cinnamon, and bake until they're done
>cook some black beans on the stovetop w/ sauteed onions and garlic unless you're being lazy, bay leaf, crappy chicken or vegetable bullion, cumin, mexican or regular dried oregano, onion and garlic powder if you want, and a tiny dash of vinegar. if you're feeling adventurous, you can use lard for the alliums
>cut the cabbage into very, very thin slivers and massage a bit so they become less stiff
>serve w/ wrap or tortilla of your preference, steamed so it's not brittle

You could also potentially do a stir fry or grain/rice bowl with a tahini and maple sauce, or maple and miso.

I got lamb rack chops from the food bank and I'm so stoked. I'm also lazy and in a not great environment for cooking so I'm going to Dijon mustard crust them, they have already been seasoned, and then bake and enjoy them with some garlicky, spicy gnocchi (because I'm too lazy to make mashed potatoes) and a corn, kale, cilantro salad with manchego cheese, mozzarella pearls, walnuts and honey chipotle vinaigrette.

Made some goulash-ish beef. About a kg of meat and two onions browned aggressively on maximum heat. Spiced mostly with paprika powder, some cumin, ground anis, cinnamon and potato concentrate. Cooked in leftover frozen beef bone stock I made for Stroganoff a few weeks ago. Cooked for about 3 hours, could have used another hour for the meat to be even more tender. Very flavorful.

It's a throw blanket so I can hide my table/counter/apartment details.

I made a really dank curry tonight in my rice cooker. Premade some rice lightly salted with a touch of sesame oil and then drizzle it with a little mirin and top with avocado and covered it with a bowl. The not at all secret key is using coconut cream (or oil I guess) and starting out by heating it until the oil begins to separate. Then I mixed two different types of curry paste when it seemed like one might be on the sweeter side and one may be on the spicier side. Added gently chopped and pestled lemongrass, garlic, super sweet shallot-like onions from the food bank and then another splash of coconut cream.
Then some red carrots, defrosted 41-50 shrimp, and covered everything with a layer of chopped mustard greens. I forgot to add green onion or get roti, I just inhaled it. It's going to taste even better tomorrow, I'm in love, this is self love.

The primary fermentation in kombucha in carried out by acetobacter, turning the sugars into ethanol and the ethanol into acetic acid. It's the same process that makes vinegar, just to about 1/10th the concentration of something like ACV. There are other fermentations going on at the same time that produce different chemicals, but acetic acid (aka vinegar) is by far the most prevalent.

Different manufacturers will have different specs that they brew and blend to in order to meet different tastes (see table for the range of acetic acid, the most acetic has 8x the acid of the least). GT's are probably one of the most sour, so yes you literally are tasting vinegar.

That's a pretty niche preference though, so as the category grows and more brands spec to consumer tastes, you see a lot of the newer ones converging on something that tastes like soda.

also those other foods you listed are primarily lactic acid bacteria fermentations. Lactic acid has a very different taste profile than acetic acid; "round" or "soft" compared to "sharp" is usually how people describe it. For a lactic acid fermented beverage you could try kefir water.

Sad you're experiencing that nona. I found kombucha pretty sour when I first started drinking it, but I enjoy tangy flavors. I think it's definitely an acquired taste and some flavors and brands are hot or miss. I'm surprised the GTs brand is considered sour, it's like baby's first booch. Definitely check the sugar levels and try samples when you can. I don't drink it frequently, but it's really great when you have digestive issues or a hangover but still need to be a functional human.

My go-to today was firm pressed tofu, marinated in mirin, olive oil and soy sauce, air fried… with dark red kidney beans, scallions, mirin, sesame oil, soy sauce, and some "umami" spice mix I got at the grocery store. It was good, but it wasn't wow. I'm missing a lot. I need to purchase garlic and ginger next time so it's tastier. IDK if I could use sesame oil in the air fryer because I know it's kind of a delicate oil. But I've read somewhere there's like, purified sesame oil? And you can use it to cook things.

This isn’t the same but I’m going to share my favorite strawberry cake recipe with you nonny

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pie plate
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved

Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 10-inch pie plate. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Put butter and 1 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low; mix in egg, milk, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually add in flour mixture. Transfer batter to buttered pie plate. Arrange strawberries on top of batter, cut sides down and as close together as possible. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over berries. Bake cake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Bake until cake is golden brown and firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.
