I made a mess of greens — tung ho (chrysanthemum) — and I learned that tung hot should be cooked with a couple of days of getting it and that it should be cooked a very short time (or eaten raw) — in this case, add it at the end, and cook only a few minutes.
Good to have the fruit bowl full again. I eat 3 pieces of fruit a day, and this coming week it will be a tangerine, an apple, and a pear. Persimmons are over, it looks like, so it's pears until plums and peaches come around.
It seems as if one of the fruits must than an initial "p." 🙂
If you agree that there are lesser and greater evils and you agree that being imprisoned, enslaved and killed is worse than being imprisoned and killed then why believe that being vegetarian is better than only eating meat (and not other animal products)? If you only ate meat, you'd only be imprisoning and killing animals, but if you only non-meat animal products, then you're necessarily doing that and enslaving animals, which seems worse.
@philosophy If you have a hard time answering the question or if you think the two situations are the same, then ask yourself which one you'd rather be in: just imprisoned and eventually killed or also enslaved? Be honest.
It helped to soak the (intact, whole) grain for a few hours before cooking.
I started with 1 cup of grain, soaked it, drained it, added 2.5 cups water, and simmered covered until all water was absorbed. It's good, though next time I think I'll try 3 cups water.
I'm having some with perilla oil, TJ's Sriracha Seasoning, and smoked paprika. I'll probably use it like rice.
It's close to done. Photo below shows it at 73 hours, but I'll let it go for a few more hours. The temperature toward the center, measured with an infrared thermometer, is 97.4fºF / 36.3ºC.

Perilla oil, red onion, Trader Joe's seasonings, and cooked oat groats from the refrigeration: tasty and satiating — and MUCH better than oatmeal, IMO.
