“It’s called ‘cinnamon’, Karen.”
The fact that the branding is larger than the informative label is fucked up. I wish capitalism would just fuck off.
I feel that rage every time I have to check if the bottle on the shelf in the shower is conditioner or shampoo.
Like who the fuck thinks this is OK.
Here’s a personal example:

Now imagine the spaces between the individual lines of text being wayy smaller
This fucked me up once. Raviolis with cinnamon is NOT nice. 💔
My dumb ex-spouse didn’t know the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb. Recipe called for 1.5 cloves. We had lasagna with 1.5 bulbs.
I don’t see the problem here. More garlic, more good.
I ate it, wasn’t too bad but my ex and our guests preferred less garlic.
I wouldn’t even be mad. My favorite amount of garlic is “too much garlic”
I couldn’t imagine having only one clove in a pasta sauce.
One time I swapped the cayenne and chili pepper amounts in a recipe and it became inedible.
But but but
Cayenne is a chili pepper, isn’t it?
Chili powder* (vs cayenne powder)
I don’t really understand, isn’t cayenne powder a subtype of chili powder? (cayenne being a chili pepper)’
I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m very much taking this as a learning opportunity ^^
Chili Powder is any type of chili peppers ground to a powder and it’s spicy but not overwhelmingly so
Cayenne Powder is made specifically from Cayenne Peppers (which IS part of the chili family) which is generally MUCH spicier. Like 10x as spicy
Thanks for the info!
PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.
You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.
Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It’s subtle though. It’s often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven’t added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?
I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.
My wife has done this. Grabbed a bottle of Penzy’s Northwood Seasoning instead of the cinnamon. That apple pie was… not so good.
My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it’s fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.
We’ve never let him live it down.
Well, that seasoning is somewhat special. However, a spoon of cumin at least doesn’t make you cry.
Maaaaaaaaaan, I was high af making some rice. Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I got the first two, but unfortunately got cumin instead of cinnamon. Even high I couldn’t finish it.
Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
You wanted to add those things to rice? Is this a dessert recipe I’m unfamiliar with, or were you just so baked you were combining random ingredients?
Half of cooking is combining random ingredients you think will work. Took the idea of rice pudding and wanted some cinnamon with it. Think between cinnamon toast and rice pudding.
That’s one WAY to cook.
Y’all are blind.
If they’re not side-by-side then it may be harder to tell, but the smell should clue you in. If in doubt, just give it a taste.
