Should I or shouldn't I? (a game)
-
You should add fish to your diet. Try quenelles from white fish fillets (less smell) poached in a vegetable broth. The Japanese use (cooking) sake to eliminate fish odors from food. Step one, lightly salt the fish fillets/slice on both sides for ten minutes. then wipe with a paper towel. (If you're using a blue fish you can add 1tbs sake to that.) Lightly fry to color in a tablespoon of vegetable oil then add 1:1:1 of soy sauce, mirin, sake (two parts sake if you're really sensitive to the smell). Super easy fish.
Report back by next Sunday.
Should I buy a steamer? I really don't need more cooking equipment but it is the season… I have a small one but with a large one I can steam puddings and make more custards to store in the fridge as meal prep.
-
@ct your fish soup recipe seems yum, I will have a try next month. do you remember my fish soup too? there are gingers and toufu.
you should buy one bigger. If you want to mke steam meat or chicken you need a big steamer.should I cut my head hair? It drops alot
-
@kenjysn1, we probably need to see your hair, to know if it needs to be trimmed. :hug:
@cteavin, I will try the "fish remedies" you suggest, but I won't be home, and cooking, until after New Year's. :hug:
While waiting for updates…
Should I, or Shouldn't I, learn how to play backgammon, or perhaps a card game like bridge? Do you like one, both, or neither?
-
Who plays with paper cards or non-virtual board games, anymore? You shouldn't focus on antiquated parlor games but learn how to use your cell phone and/or (new) game consol.
(and Ken, you look handsome with your hair the way it is. Leave it.)
My order from iHerb.com is arriving in a few minutes. In the box will be several bars of chocolate. Should I eat a whole bar or portion it out?
-
Portion control keeps our "little cheats" from becoming "too much sweets," so I think you should divide the chocolate bars.
–----------
We will have to agree to disagree on the value of "traditional" (I take umbrage at the term "antiquated") board and card games vs. today's video or phone games.
A game of cards or backgammon involves friends, sitting across a table, perhaps after a good meal and now, a stiff drink, conversing and re-connecting while they throw the dice or place a bid.
Or...
...use a cell phone to play Words with Friends, (as likely to be played with a stranger)? Well, at least it hones vocabulary skills.
...walk, stupefied, for weeks, around shopping malls and parking garages, to find rare Pokemon Go creatures?
...bring out the console for a family night of Grand Theft Auto -- improves hand-eye coordination, and as a hidden benefit, glorifies violence toward women, the police, and anyone deemed "weak?"
...perform a self-lobotomy with endless phone games of Candy Crush and Angry Birds?
No, I should find other activities.

SIoSI call my cable company, and use bargaining strategies – including a threat to cut service -- in an effort to get a better bundled rate, or extra premium channels/other perks?
-
You should always bargain for a lower price unless you're in Japan because they will let you walk away. :afr:
I can't believe it's almost the new year. Correctly speaking, today is the last day of autumn – tomorrow begins winter. What should you do this winter?
-
Wear a scarf and a leather jacket.
You should adopt a mouse.
-
A real mouse? I have six cats. It will be a very short pet relationship.
SIoSI spend an hour with a friend at one of those "Escape Rooms," which are now everywhere in NYC?
-
I hated the movie, but sure I'd like to give it a try! All good if my life isn't in peril.
Continuing on the topic, you should play a round of paintball.
-
I should! Over here it has to be laser tag, though. No guns of any kind allowed. ;D
You should play a board game over the holidays.
-
The pain adds to the fun, does laser tag makes you feel anything?
I shouldn't, want to role play some D&D or Anima Beyond Fantasy instead.
-
(Paintball is illegal here. That kind of gun is considered a weapon, so the game doesn't exist here. There are a few places where you can do laser tag, or so I heard.)
Oh, I agree. We should play D&D!
You should celebrate the (Japanese) emperor's birthday, today. ::)
-
Sure! Happy birthday to the old dude. His son, Crown Prince Naruhito (below), was kind of cute in the day.
SIoSI go see Hansel and Gretel at the Metropolitan Opera this holiday season?
(Spoiler Alert: We are going.)
-
Of course, don't miss it. Though some of Met shows are really outdated for the contemporary viewer, hope you don't fall asleep if that's the case.
Should I go on a cardboard diet? (Reference to this https://youtu.be/RKOZgQy8qrw)
-
It's shocking how real those play, like the actors are actually saying that. :cheesy2:
Nope. No cardboard diet for you. You should, however, add more fiber to your diet.
Truffles. I'm thinking of purchasing European truffles for New Years. One will cost about 100USD. Should I or shouldn't I splurge?
-
Based on your history of culinary delights, I would say you absolutely should. I see ads for black winter truffles. Is that your goal?
Should I, or Shouldn't I, try a dish with ghee at a nearby Tibetan restaurant?
-
Black truffles but be careful to get those grown in Europe vs their inexpensive Chinese cousins.
Ghee is nothing exotic. It's just butter with the water and solids removed. Go for it (then find an online Indian grocer to send you some, go with the best quality you can afford).
I'm torn. I don't want to move but I need to go shopping in a few minutes. Should I or shouldn't I go to Starbucks for some motivation?
-
what motivation? Starbucks here is full of wearing exposed women :cool2: .
should I or shouldn't I eat sheep testis (羊宝) BBQ tonight?
-
Wearing exposed women, like those carnivals from Brazil?
Sheep testis, you should indeed. Get the tongue as well.
Should I or not start to drawing again?
-
Back to ghee - I live a street away from an Indian neighbourhood in Toronto and make my own ghee.
Should I shouldn't I tell a volunteer that she annoys the fuck out of me?
