Yeah, a few seconds with a fork, and toasting the bread or swapping to crackers and you're basically at something that's fit to give to others again.

Variant on your dish: bake sweet potato, add cottage cheese and eat immediately. Add sweet or savory seasonings to taste. It's not something I'd bring to share, but it's definitely not something I'll hide. As far as quick and dirty meals, it's reasonably healthy, and probably not the worst suggestion for someone who struggles to cook for themselves.

Actual goblin food: canned black olives between two slices of bread, smush down to prevent them from rolling out.

My brain did something similar, but maybe weirder.

7 + 3 + 6, rather than 9 + 1 + 6.

Mammals are supposed to have hair. Don't try to pretend you've seen a whale with a bob or braids. Ishmael was 100% right here.

There's a chapter where Ishmael gets mad that all the whales are named wrong. He spends a while renaming them better.

It's a very odd book. I quite liked it, but it's definitely in the recommend with caution group.

I'm not sure if these will exactly fit the bill for horror for you, but they scratched a similar genre itch for me:

  • The Terror - Dan Simmons
  • Plain Bad Heroines - Emily M Danforth

I've been listening to 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. So far I've been enjoying it, even though I have no idea where it's supposed to be going. I can't imagine the current plot thread persisting through 28 hours.

I loved the first third of Neuromancer. The rest largely felt like it failed to deliver, and a bit like it went off the rails. Count Zero was a bit better in execution.

America's test kitchen has done that, although I can't find one that addresses all the bits of misinformation.

This one is pretty ok, but doesn't address all things, and doesn't specifically call out the myths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUComSZbZ7o

Notably missing is tomatoes/highly acidic foods. IIRC, it's fine if the duration is short (about 15 minutes). Shakshuka and quick tomato sauces should be fine, but don't make Grandma's all-day tomato sauce. Regardless, for these contexts I'd still grab stainless if that's an option, but mostly for ease of use/cleaning

You may have misread the comment you're responding to. Peas and carrots go together

The problem is the mnemonic everyone uses doesn't use rotational motion. Maybe we need an actual rotational motion mnemonic. Maybe "clockwise screw wise" would work

I could never remember how screws worked until physics and the right hand rule.

That's a sensible way to do it. You've got a built in asymmetry to map it to.
