I’m often on here telling stories if how evil my mother was, and now I know I can skip all the tedious rehashing of her many evil acts and just tell people she made tea by putting the tea bag in a mug of water and microwaving the whole thing.

Ooh, excellent one.

You can make it from milk and butter if I remember. You can make it from double cream (heavy whipping cream in the US).

And I would love to just buy a jar but I can’t find them anywhere except online!! It’s such a shame because I grew up enjoying it, and went a few years too busy to have anything with it, and then when I went to buy it… nowhere.

Eta: If someone has a solution for me in the US thst doesn’t involve paying a fortune online, I am all ears! More ears than anything really.

I’ve been mad about UHT milk ever since I discovered I can’t make clotted cream with the ultra high temperature stuff. I don’t want unpastuerized milk but ffs, let me have some texture I can work with!

I agree. I think it’s worse than we already know.

I bet you’re right. If you leave a plastic bottle in the sun, the water tastes god-awful.

I used to do Huel pretty regularly because one of my medicines makes me not want food and shakes are tolerable. But they kept selling out of my favorite flavor!

Here’s hoping it’s not too toxic!

Oh my gosh, I never thought of that!

I bought an air fryer, but honestly, I never use it because I hate cleaning the basket. I didn’t even think about the top!

Adding this one to my list. Definitely nothing good about blasting your food with old oils.

I get where they’re coming from! I was a kid when the aerosols were burning a hole in the ozone layer, and it taught me to distrust anything that can come out of a can too quickly.

I also drink tea but in between swallows I could see myself enjoying a vape, if they weren’t bad for me. Which is why I have never used one.

E: Drinking Yukon Gold at the mo’.

I just saw an article the other day that black plastic utensils are toxic. I’m right there with you.

A couple places near me still use styrofoam. I can’t get past it.

I didn’t even know such a thing existed!

I wouldn’t be surprised. I wish there was a way to enjoy flavor without any horrific side effects.

We know that depending on your use it can ruin your attention span. But I agree, it’s probably worse than we know.

It absolutely counts, if you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that it’s worse for you than you know.

I haven’t been able to use one of these since I used a crummy one about 12 years ago and got burned, but it was so insanely nice to be so toasty.

This is a clever answer and now I completely agree with you.
