@AnkitSharma Hello!!

Sorry. I was in here earlier, but my stupid tablet kept randomly shutting down ;-(

HAPPY 4/20 EVERYONE!!!

I guess Americans make a way bigger deal out of 420 than anyone else ;)

420 (cannabis culture)

420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term in cannabis culture that refers to the consumption of cannabis, especially smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m. (or 16:20 in 24-hour notation) and smoking cannabis in celebration on the date April 20 (which is 4/20 in U.S. form). == Origins == In 1971, Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich, five high school students in San Rafael, California, calling themselves the Waldos because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school", used the term in connection with a 1971 plan to search for...

Q: Why does Valentine throw up?

In the movie Clouds of Sils Maria, there is a scene with Valentine driving back from a date with that photographer dude. She stops on the way as she is in some sort of discomfort and throws up. Later Maria checks on her and she's passed out with her pants to her knees. Later when Maria tries to b...

Q: Why do several Marvel films have this at the end?

Q: What happened to Miss Gulch?

What actually happened to Miss Gulch from "The Wizard of Oz"? Did the Tornado kill her? We never see her again after Toto escapes. The last time she's mentioned is when Dorothy fears that she'll be back to get Toto again. She's never mentioned again and the last time we see her is through Dorothy...

@steelersquirrel That's the thief's number in our culture. In a market, where shops are numbered, nobody wants to take the shop number 420.

steelersquirrel

@AJ Oh, really? Wow! I guess you guys don't "celebrate" that number as much as we do here :P

A J

We don't.

And it is not 420 for us, but 204.

Wow. I guess everyone is freaking out with anticipation over this frigging Infinity War thing. Yet another superhero movie that I am going to have to hear about forever ;)

Q: Is there a name for when a creator plays a character in their own motion picture?

There's discounts in like every head shop and marijuana dispensary today. It's like their Christmas. lol.

You do this stuff?

Catija

I'd be surprised if her job allowed it.

steelersquirrel

I did it twice in college and regretted it both times. I hate the way it makes me feel.

@ABcDexter INFINITY! ∞

@AnkitSharma Is that some sort of polenta?

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel no idea what is that

steelersquirrel

Polenta

Polenta (Italian pronunciation: [poˈlɛnta]) is a dish of boiled cornmeal that was historically made from other grains. It may be served as a hot porridge, or it may be allowed to cool and solidify into a loaf that can be baked, fried, or grilled. The dish is associated with Northern and Central Italy, Savoy in France, Switzerland, and Romania. It is also common in Brazilian regions that received Italian immigrants. == Description == The variety of cereal used is usually yellow maize, but buckwheat, white maize, or mixtures thereof may be used. Coarse grinds make a firm, coarse polenta; f...

Like cornmeal

Catija

One could argue it's a form of grits.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel as nikhil said cook and maid are cheaper here and even too common in middle class people

@steelersquirrel ewww, bleh

Nikhil Eshvar

4:20 AM

@steelersquirrel That's......... no upma...

@steelersquirrel It looks like a cream 0_0

Catija

That... is a horrible image of polenta. It's actually very delicious.

Ankit Sharma

I think there is no equivalent of upma in west

Catija

It can be as thin as porridge or thick enough to make "cakes" out of...

and fried.

steelersquirrel

Polenta is super delicious if it's prepared correctly!

Ankit Sharma

Yesterday I did what I never did in my childhood

steelersquirrel

4:21 AM

That's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that picture of upma.

Catija

Anyway, semolina is wheat, not corn.

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma gasp What?

Catija

Cream of Wheat is semolina, @steelersquirrel

steelersquirrel

@Catija Oh, is that what upma is made from?

Nikhil Eshvar

@steelersquirrel Upma is a flour and slight salt mixture with extra veggies and other stuff for taste.

steelersquirrel

4:23 AM

@Catija Ahhhhh...gotcha!

Nikhil Eshvar

A bland upma is flour+slight salt and for taste, I add sugar to the mix and eat it up

Catija

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel ring a bell of someone's house late night and run away

Nikhil Eshvar

Complex versions include adding veggies and stuff

@AnkitSharma :D

Ankit Sharma

@Catija yes

@steelersquirrel yes

steelersquirrel

4:24 AM

@AnkitSharma OMG. Were you like playing truth or dare with a bunch of 12 year olds? ;)

Catija

I could imagine that being OK... Cream of Wheat is bland enough that you could push it salty rather than sweet...

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel no, that guy is ahole and he live upstair and I wanted to disturb him

steelersquirrel

I don't think I would like this upma thing very much. I never really cared for cream of wheat. Maybe if it were salty rather than sweet. I don't know.

Nikhil Eshvar

Upma is common food among Indians but so unique outside such that apparently it helped a person win Top Chef with Upma as the finale dish :P That news surprised me so much! :D

steelersquirrel

My dad always adds milk and sugar and butter to his rice, though. It would make me gag. Ew.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel I might have shown him middle finger most probably, but he is chubby and walk slow and I made my ex-roommate and his wife to keep the lift door open , I used lift for one floor just to be safe

Catija

4:28 AM

If you want to try it, this should be a reasonable recipe: seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/05/… Not sure how "authentic" it is but the site is good.

Ankit Sharma

and even sent lift t basement in end to remove all doubts

Catija

And if it's for an American audience, the ingredients may be easier to come by.

steelersquirrel

@Catija Does the recipe include you coming over and making it? :P

It only takes 15 minutes to make :P

Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi (pronounced [ˈpəd̪maː ˈləkʃmiː]; born Padma Parvati Lakshmi Vaidynathan; September 1, 1970) is an American author, actress, model, television host and executive producer of Indian descent. Her debut cookbook Easy Exotic won her the "Best First Book" award at the 1999 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. She has been the host of the US reality television program Top Chef since season two in 2006, for which she received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. In 2010, Top Chef won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality...

Her ^^

I actually watched a few seasons of it. I was amazed at what these people do with food.

Then I just lost interest in it. The last season I watched was in Seattle. I only watched because it was in the Northwest.

@NikhilEshvar I have watched that next iron chef show. That one is pretty good. Chefs have super huge egos ;)

They're always worried if some other chef has bigger knives than them :P

Most of the stuff that they cook I have never heard of nor would I ever have access to. And, if I did have access to it, I would more than likely screw it up somehow ;)

@MovieReel Isn't that the main purpose of a horror movie...to have death scenes?
