I’m just browsing. We don’t have the money for that.
me at Sephora lmao
(i have makeup at home)
The makeup at home:
lol me when i fuck up the eyeliner
You want one where a substantial amount of the fat is present in the muscle and evenly spread throughout. It’s tasty and as the moisture evaporates out of the steak the melting fat soaks into the meat, keeping it tender and juicy.
Salt also softens meat, in part because of its effects on moisture evaporation temperature changing in the solution, but just as importantly because salt is what naturally forces muscle to relax in a living body as well as a cut of meat. That’s why body builders eat bananas, they have potassium salts.
Never made the connection, but when I was in human anatomy class, we removed the thigh muscle from a frog, hooked it up to a seismograph, and shocked it, to track the spasm.
As the shocks went on, it would eventually cramp up. Putting saline solution (salt water) on it, would release the cramp, and you could do the experiment again.
That’s a direct example of salt making a muscle relax. I never thought to connect it to marinating meat.
I bet you could make a sick marinated frog leg
Frog leg is soft like fried chicken, doesn’t really require it.
I marinate for flavor, not for soft meat.
This is the way
would release the cramp, and you could do the experiment again.
How many times did you need to do this to get the point? I feel like seeing it once, gathered around the teacher, would be plenty.
Also, a seismograph?
Yep, a seismograph. Mine was a vertical version, but yeah, the same thing. You suspended the muscle, with a pen attached somehow (I don’t remember, it was decades ago), and when you shocked it, the muscle would spasm, and write on the rolling paper. As the spasms increased, the markings would be smaller, until it seized up, and drew a straight line. Then you’d douse the muscle with saline, and you could do it again, although the results were less dramatic on subsequent runs. It seemed like the muscle would eventually just fatigue, and not be as revivable by saline. So we only had to repeat it a few times.
And it wasn’t just one experiment, being done by the teacher in front of everybody. We all had our own seismographs, and had to kill and dissect our own frogs. It was a real hand-on class, and was one of the best high school classes I’ve ever taken. It was a college level pre-med class, and I’ve used the info I learned in that class every day throughout my entire life.
I also tend to look for a thicker cut, since you can cook it more gradually to develop a good texture throughout without overcooking, and still develop a good crust.
You also want to dry brine it, that is 12-24 hours before cooking rubbing it with salt and leaving it uncovered in the fridge
Then before cooking, let it warm up on the bench
If you have a particularly good cut, you can warm it to room temp, then put it in a mixture of salt and water (20% salt) at freezer temperatures for 20 minutes before drying it and searing it. You’ll get a perfect crust and also perfect edge to edge consistency with no bands of overcooked meat
Haha yeah I think you look beautiful with or without makeup babe
I think you’re beautiful with or without meat
Me, looking at all the things I wished I could afford.

Women be shopping . . . .
I love me some cow meat, but these days I stick with chicken with no antibiotics. Cow meat is too expensive.
Any species that can live 18 months without a head is barely alive in the first place.
Okay, so that was a wild story, but… ‘not having a head’ doesn’t really make me think of ‘has most of the brain stem and an ear.’ It’s not much different than humans that have no higher brain functions and are on feeding tubes.
meat is murder
That’s why I always buy any meet that costs 6.66 or has the weight of 6.66. who am I to deny the power of Satan.
So is eating vegetables. In order for you to live, something has to die.
I’m not knocking your veganism. I fully support your choices. But I harbor no illusions that all life requires death to survive. And much of that death is actively done by all creatures.
Eh, equating animal lives to human lives is a bit too much for me but, as long as you’re at least as empathetic for people as you are for cattle, your kindness cannot be denied. 🤷
Cats and dogs have real personality, even if they aren’t as big brained as human. We protect even wild ones because we understand they are conscious. A dog is like a vegan, wouldn’t eat the owner after they died.
My cat would but I still love my fluffy demon. 😅
What despicable human beings are replying to your truthful comment. Keep up the good fight 💚
🤜🤛
i don’t care about the replies or the downVotes. This should be reminded every time.
Yummy murder
Slaver mindset
No issues with that on my end :-)
Nature is fucked up
Good thing I love murder.
Ice is that you?
That’s why they’re called it. Because they ice anyone they want.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism
that is why i exclusively buy stuff from nestle and donate all of my leftover money to Trump and Jk Rowling
I’m just trying to get by, I buy exclusively whatever is cheapest
Then you’re vegan? Because the cheapest foods are rice, beans, potatos, etc.
I’d say more towards vegetarian, but for sure.
Some are less unethical than others.
Indeed, the amount of slavery in the modern world’s supply chains is enormous. We exploit child slaves in far away places so we can bankrupt ourselves trying to provide for our kids here at home. I dare say, it’s quite the flawed system we have built for ourselves.
Love this meme, was trying to sympathise with my comment tho. Didn’t realise how apathetic it has come across to everyone. Oops.
I don’t think you understand why that phrase is used
Tell me your interpretation, my friend
Sure there is
Go on…
Most consumption under capitalism is ethical. Both parties agree on an exchange rate for services and mutually benefit.
both parties
So only two parties are involved? What about the parties who produced the thing? Built the thing? Grew the thing? Harvested the thing? Cooked the thing? Packaged the thing?
You can apply that recursively
So make sure that livestock did not die in vain. Prepare it properly.
Is it okay for me to kill your baby as long as I eat it afterwards?
Cannibalism is a quick path to prion disease. I don’t recommend eating other humans.
Yes, go for it.
So all it takes to bait Lemmy into showing their psychopathic side is three words.
Pathetic community unworthy of the high regard it holds itself in.
The animal is already dead, it’s even more disrespectful to waste it’s body.
You’re paying animal agriculture to harm more animals.
In the case of industrial farms I agree. But I grew up less than a full generation from the family homestead in what’s now Wasilla. I’ll never be convinced to go full vegan, but I have cut my meat intake by half over the last year
Good.
If you want your meat-sucking manchild partner to live longer and be a kinder person, maybe do hurry him away from the corpse aisle
As kind as you? Oh please describe the steps!
Hope you’re taking your supplements
His “happy place” is a display of corpse parts?
You can basically tell how spot on an anti-speciesist comment is by looking at the angry downvotes. Thanks folks!
“Anti-specist” is wild lmao
So is “I’m more righter the more downvoted I am”
Those kinds of comments never seem to ask themselves if the same standard holds true for other comments.
Fair point. However, if you were more aware and perhaps critical of the carnist culture we are brought up in, you might see more for what they are the knee-jerk reactions to any pointing out the fact that, maybe, possibly, we shouldn’t treat other sentient, living beings capable of feelings and suffering like they were disposable objects?
It’s always a bit amusing to see people immediately go hard the other way when you point out the very obvious and factual: “uh, guys, this is corpse”.
Right? You could put some neatly cut and packaged human remains on that display and no one would tell the difference. Def not my “happy place”
I’m not even vegan, though we do vary our diet and avoid red meat, and yeah, steak worship is just weird AF.
It really is quite vile, isn’t it?
Yup. Compounded by how much otherwise sentient and supposedly caring people insist there is no problem. It’s all very normal.
I suppose you think nature is vile. I’m sorry the animals live in bad places before they are killed, but folks need meat. Easiest way to get protein for many people. I doubt your hard stance will ever convince anyone.
