... 100% genuine maple syrup. It's damned expensive (my local supermarket sells it for about
$11 a pint), but it's like the nectar of the gods when poured on hot buttered waffles. Artificially
flavored syrups won't do anymore. I hoard cleanish napkins and paper towels from work and
other people's houses rather than opening any of the rolls of paper towels I bought 2 months
ago, but I will not skimp on maple syrup. It's the real stuff, or nothing at all! :arrr:
-
I can't stand artificial syrup. I'd rather have none, or jam or something. Real maple syrup only, preferably grade B.
-
Sometimes it matters to get the real stuff.
-
You understand! :green: I grew up on Vermont MaidTM syrup, flavored with vanillin.
I tasted REAL maple syrup for the first time at around age 40 and I've never liked fake syrup since!

Salmon is popular, but many types can be used. The point when the fish is glazed depends on the cut of the fish and the recipe. I haven't heard of smoked maple-glazed salmon.

Cat litter

Cat food - they get Dine which is expensive.
Cat litter - same as Mia, cats get the good stuff.
Coke Zero - always make sure I have enough money for this.
Petrol - always get premium unleaded.

In the end, the good stuff is way cheaper too.
At least if you get the clump-forming stuff.

For sure. Cats are little buggers for using the tray though. Liam will piddle outside the tray and Mollie shits at the entrance to the tray, on the floor.

If I would buy margerine, that would be a real cheap thing to do. I just won't use it, and throw it away after it has gone rancid and over date.
I use butter sparsely, but, I do use it, and I enjoy every bit of it.

Especially cheap tuna! Albacore is nice. "Chunk light" tends to look like cat food. :sick:

I won't skimp on desserts, when I'm off my diet. Cheap flavorless cake is a waste of money! :arrr:

Damn right about canned tuna, got to be good stuff, and packed in brine rather rather than oil, the greasy texture and lack of saltiness just isn't right in canned tuna.
Butter, proper, salty, rich butter is the only way to go IMO. I don't buy margarine, won't eat it either, given the choice, disgusting stuff.
Lab supplies. Especially when it comes to glassware and other equipment, I'd sooner spend my money on one set of high quality borosilicate (barring of course, kit used with chemicals that etch or dissolve glass, such as hot, concentrated caustic soda or hydrofluoric acid) glass, and have it last a lifetime, than save a few quid in the short term by buying non-borosilicate glass, or cheap knockoff chinese mass market stuff.
I haven't ever regretted it either, same goes for good quality reagents, where I must buy things from another seller or business, some things of course, are generally unavailable to those outside research and academic settings, although I have some good connections for some hard to source stuff of that sort, some things I still must prepare myself, but nevertheless, quality control is essential, using crappy chemical supplies leads to...well, as they in the computer fields, put garbage in, get garbage out.
Rolling baccy is another one, I only really like amber leaf, after getting used to one brand, others tend to taste like arse.
Cigars..quality only, 'nuff said.

Agree with you about real butter. I was raised on margarine and had to learn to like butter,
but it's the greatest on fresh warm bread, and a host of other things. And the salt is important. :green:

they used to use (and for all I know still do) marge in home ec lessons in my first spesh school, the Kanner's one.
I absolutely loathed it, and still do. Utterly disgusting stuff. Can't beat good honest salty real butter. None of that oily plastic fucking greasy shit-in-a-tub. I just won't eat it in fact, its repulsive.

I've been debating whether I want to do a week or so of war-time cooking. Lard is available, but costs even more than butter.
My taste buds have been ruined by too many sinus episodes so that my sense of taste is really diminished. Margarine and butter taste the same to me, but I do remember when it tasted heavenly as a child.

Sense of smell is too sensitive, and often wished when younger for not being able to smell. In early twenties met an old woman who had no sense of smell. She said she never wore perfume because she didn't know which ones smelled good or how much is too much, but she was obsessed with applying deodorant because she was afraid of having body odor and no one would tell her. It was an interesting perspective; in all the times of wishing to not smell, never once considered having to worry about my own smells. She cured me of not wanting to smell. :laugh:

My sense of smell is shite. WolFish's is too sensitive, and he's constantly getting set on edge by things I can't even detect. I'm probably going to be one of those people that loses smell entirely at some point in their life.

The worst is when football matches are playing. And after they have done rather than when people are travelling to the games, then you get a load of moronic, hooting, squealing, shouting stinking sweaty chav pricks..
Last time I had the fortune to be stuck on the tram when that happened I ended up with several such drunken, gobby arseholes, had to make my point by telling one of the crowd I was very, very close to putting him face-first through a window and onto the tracks.

Working in a hot lab, with hotplates going full whack and especially if a bunsen burner or blowtorch is also being used, on a baking hot sunny day, in the middle of the afternoon.
Now THAT is even worse! Its one of the few things I absolutely loathe about doing my chemistry. The worst is when there is a heatwave, and I must work for someone else and thus am bound to do whatsoever the client may wish of me. Working for myself, on personal projects that are intended for me when there is nobody else that is going to get any of whatever it may be that I am doing, project-wise at the time then I can just put it off, unless I am constrained by the chemistry itself, and have to say, get something done then work it up immediately post-rxn, I'll just say 'fuckitall' and wait the overly hot weather out, then head to the lab again once it is over.
Right now its a bit of both. Two and a bit things for myself the rest of the bit, not for me. So I have to at least get SOME work done. I'm doing everything at once however, running 4 reactions at the same time. I kick ass that way :heisenberg:

How? because I have 5, perhaps 6 tasks to perform today. I'm going to be buried up to the eyeballs in glassware, reagents, solvents etc all day, and running multiple separate rxns at once.
I DID forget for a while, I admit CBC, but now I remember, I WILL watch it just as soon as commitments allow it of me.

Don't worry, the extractor is on, the external door is on and windows open. Currently only evaporating acetone plus some methanol. But there will be nastier fumes later, the worst being thionyl chloride fumes plus the hydrolysis products, sulfur dioxide and hydrochloric acid gas, It stinks too. And when I open the bottle one can see the fumes billowing off as a fog; spewing from the neck of the bottle as the volatile SOCl2 vaporises into the air and immediately hydrolyses to SO2 and HCl(g). Smells pretty damn foul. Lol my old man when he woke up today and started making his breakfast came into the lounge and asked me what the stench was:autism:

Smells pretty damn foul. Lol my old man when he woke up today and started making his breakfast came into the lounge and asked me what the stench was:autism:
Breathing those fumes could be harming you both. :(

Beer, I just can't stomach the cheap stuff. :glug:

CBC, I wear a gas mask to filter out toxic/mutagenic/acidic/caustic/strongly reducing or oxidizing fumes.
My old man is by now sensible enough to ask if he can safely go about his business, not in the slightest a chemist but he isn't a total idiot, and knows full well that my hobby is capable of/somewhat prone to producing nasty gases and similar such things. For the use of really badly unpleasant chemicals or productive of such as byproducts I either do things outside, again wearing my gas mask, or in a glovebox. And also I have my limits. I'm not about to for example, fill the house full of phosgene, and if needed, then find alternative methods of accomplishing the same goal. More than one way to skin a cat. Or find alternative reagents, producing some of the worst things I'd work with even outside by the means of doing so in situ, slowly generating them WITHIN the reaction vessel rather than introducing whatever it is from an outside source. For example if I wanted hydrogen cyanide gas then the way to do it is not generate loads within a second, third, fourth flask etc. but rather to, often as not, add potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide etc. to the reaction as required for the task at hand, and then slowly drip in acid, probably keeping the project situated in a sub-zero 'C cryogenic bath. If cold is an option of course. If not then more cyanide would be required as it would boil off.Then filtering the exit gases through multiple washing bottles full of NaOH (caustic soda) which it immediately reacts with and forms NaCN (sodium cyanide)
That particular rxn would be a green one too to a degree because some recycling of the HCN is possible, for that which does not react.

Any type of seafood, cheep seafood is just gross :zombiefuck:

I always look for a bargain, so I skimp on everything. I have patience.

A grocery salvage store opened near us. Only one thing I bought was a disappointment, shredded cheese. I save about 75% on canned and boxed goods (e.g. boxes of Kraft Mac and Cheese were 20 cents.)

Never a good idea to fuck about with potentially iffy seafood. The only exception to that I make is lumpsucker-based caviar. That actually tastes pretty good, and there is nothing wrong with it simply BECAUSE its cheaper. If the only difference is price then fine, but never fuck around with potentially poor quality seafood.
Speaking of which. Canned tuna. It BETTER be in brine or in salt water. I cannot stand that disgusting, greasy, nasty ass shit in oil. That has a texture that makes me want to go puke.

I'm pretty cautious about the meat/seafood/produce I buy. And I agree, water packed tuna all the way.

Steak is another one that if I am going to buy, I buy good shit. REALLY good steak, is what counts. Sod the price tag, if I want a steak, I'm having a bloody well GOOD steak. Had a really, really really lovely piece of fillet steak recently, quite pricey but bought the best piece available all the same. And my god was it ever good. I cooked it by cutting deep slashes in a crosshatch pattern on both sides, then soaking it in a marinade made out of HP sauce, worcestershire, soy and teriyaki sauce with a good splash of the extra hot version of tabasco splattered in liberally, a bit of powdered beef gravy granules, and made up with some homedone fly agaric gravy.
Then after leaving it about an hour, turning it over and basting occasionally, no heat applied yet, I rubbed in my special steak spice, modified slightly. This consists of a mixture of black pepper, chunky rock sea salt, cubeb, some szechuan pepper, pink peppercorns, peppery boletus and fly agaric mushroom (caps only, cured of course to detoxify them) Chilli, a little bit of powdered dry garlic flakes, and I altered the recipe a little then to add some cardamom and a packet of dried beef jerky, all mixed in together and blasted in the electric spice grinder until the consistency of a soft, very slightly clumpy when squeezed between the fingers fluffy powder. The spice grinder is brilliant, reduced something the tough and chewy consistency of beef jerky to powder in seconds. The change made it even tastier.
Rubbed it into the slashes cut into the fillet steak, drizzled a tiny bit of oil on each side, rubbed it in and around the edge to seal the juicyness in, Then heated an empty pan until very hot indeed, and just for a few seconds, quickly seared it on each side on maximum heat, only letting it contact that heat for a short time either side and round the edges. Then turned heat right down and slow-cooked until well done. But not only well done, it stays TENDER that way. Really, really juicy and sweet and tender; every single mouthful nice and chewy but still tender, and very well done on the outside layer, with a properly thoroughly cooked, but not overdone center. I like my steaks...lets just say if it moos on the plate I'm going to go fetch a claw hammer and batter it to death. I like mine just short of electrically conductive. Not quite reduced to steak-shaped graphite blocks but nevertheless, if I've got hands on it, the little fucker has jolly well moo-ed its last.
'Twas lovely and tender through and through, very juicy and positively bursting with flavour. Devoured the whole thing in about 2-3 minutes and left nothing but a shred or two of fat behind, and little enough of that was there to start with, I think I will be adding beef jerky, powdered up in the grinder, and cardamom in the future again too, as well as using a bit of powdered fly agaric in the marinade as well as as I usually do in the spice mix. Because it really works wonders on meat recipes. I love fly agaric and peppery boletus in combination in my cooking as a spice and flavour enhancer, I go out to a local golf course and another spot of mine to pick mushrooms, and bag kilos of them every season. They are mildly poisonous raw, and must be cured by means of drying the caps over a low, low heat overnight in a propped-open oven (to let the moisture evaporate) and they then can be stored. I pick enough per season to last me the rest of the year. Although unfortunately I can never find as many of the parasitic peppery boletes that parasitize the fly agaric to last me through as much cookery as I would like. I also use the fly agaric medicinally, to ward off the cold of winter and feel it not, as a tea, and it can be used as an intoxicant too, as is traditionally done in siberia.

I enjoy my steak best when it is simply adorned with salt. No extra seasonings, flavours, etc.

That, my dear, is because you have not tasted my steak spice mix. Could send you some if you'd like to try it? would be happy to, I have enough for my own consumption.

Deodorant. Ever since I used to work outside in the heat and discovered that women's deodorant didn't really do the job for me, I have used Rexona Original For Men. It costs more but it's worth it.

Music

You'd PAY for music? seriously? jesus christ.

You'd PAY for music? seriously? jesus christ.
Come on dude.
I spent over eighteen years of my life making my entire living working in music. I made friends. I do not steal music from my friends (and as Keats once said - have to paraphrase - no strangers here, only friends you have not met yet)
Those of us who have made a career performing and creating and composing and organizing and arranging and producing amd recording and conceiving and developing and furthering and playing and inventing and presenting and living and (many times) dying and executing live in front of so many detractors and ad lib and improvising on the spot when machines are not up to the demands of the musician and just living this way in this world and sharing and influencing thought in others and on and on ...
Some would have no reason to awaken ever again, except for what music AND the MAKING of music has brought to their lives.
I will not steal that.

What about youtube, and occasions where you just cannot FIND anywhere to buy the music in question? One of my friends, a lil fox by the name of burning one is a musician and I bought her album, think I bought the second one too. I could easily have got it from her for free I'm sure she'd have done me one if I'd just asked her, but I wanted to give her the income from the sale of her albums. (not the only thing I'd give her either, although we aren't a couple anymore, still best fiends however.) Although we are as different as badgers and dog shit popsicles, in outlook, in beliefs, in many respects, although both autistic of course. Well, she is aspie. Still, we get along like an oil refinery and a casually-wielded flamethrower. I'd assign the latter role to her mind you, since she's fucking smokin' :D

I do understand that some/much/most of the Indie stuff is impossible to find for sale. Even the artists websites have gone down. Not sure how to help with that problem.
Most of youtube music is somewhat licensed, so no foul there.

Protection. That is, things like gas mask filters and gloves for my chem hacker hobby. Its one of those areas where an oz of protection means more than an lb of cure, it means staying alive in some cases, avoiding permanent crippling in others, or much hospital nastiness in yet others. Better never to receive the injury or poisoning than to have to seek treatment for one.

I don't bother with discount liquid soap, since it's usually too diluted to be good. :multitask:
