Roll Call 200

I have a bag of dry red kidney beans. Does anyone have any tips for how to cook them? I’ve never cooked dry beans before.
I read that they can be toxic and I don’t want to cook them in the wrong way

It’s pretty simple to do.

Basically you soak them in water overnight, then put them in a pot with water and seasoning and cook for like 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

I’m trying to add more beans and rice into my diet. Because they’re cheap. And sometimes I get them for free from the food pantry.

Yeah beans are good for fiber and some protein! Rice is a good carb (especially if you get brown rice)

Been doing good for over a week. Lots of sleeping though, even with 100mg stim.

I don't wake up in the middle of the night. I sleep better than 99% of people.

I am a professional sloth.

I need to start learning how to make stir fry’s. I love them. Like chicken breast cut up and broccoli other veggies and brown rice with a sauce , those seem really simple to make. I just need to get more comfortable cooking.

Tonight I made velveeta and shells again. Not the healthiest to say the least lol but I did add a can of peas to the batch mixed in. So at least I got a vegetable. Im not super fond of vegetables. I LOVE broccoli , asparagus, and Brussels sprouts are my favorite. The rest I am not very into but I’m looking for a ways to add more to my diet. Oh yeah I do love squash and mushrooms. And water chestnuts…Maybe I like more veggies than I initially thought.

I’ll probably prep a batch of red kidney beans, rice and ground chicken with some sort of seasoning in it later this weekend. And like put it in containers for meals for the days following. Should be pretty satisfying. Just need to come up with what spices to put on the ground chicken

Be careful if you’re cooking red kidneys rather than using a can…they can cause poisoning if undercooked.

I was gonna cook them, but I guess I’ll just buy cans of them instead. I do have a bag of red kidney beans but I won’t use it

I need to get running again.

I remember, I was 16... I ran every day (For the whole summer). I could run 3km without stopping - Took a break, then ran 3km back.

I did it again, at 18, 20 or so... It was just.. a dirt road, in the middle of no where.. I thought "Is this all there is? I guess..."

I remember, when I was 12 or so, playing video games (Got addicted - 10 hours a day), beautiful.. And the point, is that I always wanted to "go outside of the map" - So I'd start finding Easter Eggs and everything, but imagining that I lived there (In other dimensions).

Then certain ideas polluted my brain (Such as atheism).. No war, war is bad.. Why are drugs illegal, etc. And now things are much different..

I'm in an infinite world - Where I'll be in all rooms, video games, molecules - Like cities, in cells of organisms, alien planets etc.. The box of everything.

I'll be okay.. As long as my mood doesn't become critically low.

Here's your sporadically posted morning view from the powerlines

Have an appointment with my doctor in 2 hours from now to discuss my bloodwork results

Good luck!

He went over all my bloodwork with me. Tested everything. Everything is in a good range. Cholesterol is still somewhat high went down a lot from where it was a couple years ago, triglycerides went way down, from from 270 down to 80ish, which is now in the normal range. Sugar/A1c is 5.6, if it was 5.7 it would be pre-diabetic so I’m not there, and even if I was it’s reversible and I can still work on lowering it, my diabetes risk is normal; sodium was 1 point low but isn’t anything to worry about

So the throwing up is probably from anxiety

I just know they must be throughly boiled and it’s danger to use the slow cooker.

Oh okay, I was planning on using the stove to boil them. But maybe I’ll just buy canned instead

Going to the movie theater with my friend around 4 today to see The Boogeyman

I woke up, very cloudy/foggy minded..

I drank a coffee, then took afternoon stim and 75mg of pregabalin. Now, very clear minded.. Mood is good..

But I despair for the world still. All I did was get my act together.. And now have to deal with what's online right? Nonsense.. I'd like to study/attend to interests - Somewhat, with goals.. Exercising a bit (Hiking - Will get my mountain bike fixed..), vacations (Sometimes).. I just find it hard to do anything, when I don't have friends anymore. It's been more quiet now, past ~2 years..

ChatGPT helps me out a bit - It's just daily, slow progress to aligning my values, etc.. Introspection of who am I? - Especially after my ego was obliterated, many times - With dissociative panic attacks.

I'm okay with my psychiatrist.. Don't need to change meds.. I'll see him in around a month or so.. And get the Invega Trinza injection, when? Idk.. I'll have to figure that out. And "paliperidone" is an "Essential medicine listed by the World Health Organization" (So should be no problem to synthesize and cover, ship here, have it paid for etc - When medications aren't manufactured/produced by China - When tension arrises).

I have the best life.. I had the craziest thoughts over the past 6 years.. I'm waiting for my mom and I to move to the island.. And by that time, there will be unlimited chaos - My dad might move in with us. I texted my dad last night, and he's just working until retirement (~1-3 years).. I'll be with my family, siblings.. I'll get a drivers license, and do my own thing.. Be comfortable..

Many people.. Are addicted to drugs, not getting psychiatric help, causing crime - On every street over there.. Homeless.. It'll get worse (IMO).

I remember giving up.. and having no awareness.. My environment was awful - Isolation, abuse, then neglect.. Anyway.. It's all good..

Had a good time with my friend at the movies

I'm just trying to survive. And I don't know why. Other people think they know why, for me.

Lol not sure if that made any logical sense.

I'll sit and listen to Eminem =]

Like I had.. when I was a kid..

Edit: Can only listen to the new songs, I haven't listened to yet..

The philosophy forum negative * said "Music is mindless, Eminem is the only useful music artist" -

- But he/she was the most psychopathic of geniuses.

Can a genius have no empathy? I Googled, and found no result.

Cuz my grandmother (On my dads side) is a linguistic genius... Well, on my moms side too.

They did everything right (For them/Narcissist), but had no empathy.. So in the end, they stay isolated, alone - Before death. On my moms side? She actually enjoys being alone like that, just arguing.. on FB.. And my dads side, she's like "I'm lonely" (But she deserves it, cuz she's such of the most evil twisted narcissist sociopath).

Anyway, yeah those are my grandmothers.
