i don't even know what spices are. it's like, you put plant nethers on your food, ok fine, but it's not vegetabular for some reason? doesn't make any goddamn sense man
Or plant eggs, or leaves.
A vegetable implies that it is added fresh or cooked rather than dessicated, and a spice or herb that it is added to flavour in very small amounts.
quit bein all reasonable
anyway point is everybody says like "spices only last three months, or one month if you really want the flavor" or something like that and jesus christ i cannot use a cup of cumin in that time
just get the non ground version of the spice and a mortar and pestle
I don't think most people can use a cup of cumin in less than three months, unless they're in a very large Indian family or something. Or just live with a bunch of people who really, really like cumin.
On a related note, I would love to have some really weird spices in my cupboard like asafoetida.
my babby's first cookbook has a recipe for beans and rice and recaito or something, and it just assumes you can get recaito (like, premade) at the supermarket, and it is hells of confusing

recaito is probably not a "spice"
It's apparently the same thing as "sofrito," which is like a Puerto Rican mise en place thing.

your supermarket doesn't have a hispanic foods section?
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
It's so weird seeing that to people from the Eastern US, Coors used to be this forbidden fruit, but now that you can get it nationwide it's regarded as pisswater
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
The Coors family is Colorado's preeminent rich family, though the Bonfils family (descended from a former owner of the Denver Post) also at least has things named after them
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Someone on City-Data says that the East is dominated by old money, which Colorado lacks because there aren't as many people whose families have lived here for generations
"Dominated by old money" is a stretch. There are definitely families out here which are very wealthy and fairly powerful and have been for a very long time, but that makes it sound like some kind of weird oligarchy which it, uhhh, isn't?
Also, I think that there being a lack of old money in a state that is less than two hundred years old and was basically a frontier region for much of that time is sort of self-evident. That's sort of like saying there's no old money native to Los Angeles or Las Vegas. The immediate response that leaps to mind is, "Of course there isn't." Like, having buildings named after you doesn't make you old money. It means you have enough money to be egotistical. That's it.

It seems today, that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV. But where are those good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely?

I figured LA would have a ton of it at least
What we now know of as Los Angeles only really came to exist at the turn of the twentieth century. They consider structures from the '30s "really old" there, which would make any European snort their coffee out their nose laughing. I mean, the mission is older, and there was a town and then a small city there following the Gold Rush, but it was only with the rise of Hollywood that LA as you would recognise it became a reality.
I was actually going to discuss that, but I can't get to that point without explaining what the term actually means, and I can't do that without figuring out what Anonus thinks he's talking about in the first place.

Like, how exactly do you define "old money"?
people who have been wealthy for multiple generations? showbiz money?
and yeah, LA shot WAY up in population after showbiz - before then it was an oil town that wasn't as prominent as San Francisco or even Denver

See, showbiz money isn't old money. It's pretty much the opposite of old money, seeing as the mass market film industry is barely a century old. That's new money.
In the United States, old money, real old money, predates the advent of electricity, in some cases predates the Industrial Revolution. People with names like Pew, Stuyvesant, Vanderbilt, Rothschild, folks with titles like the Baron of [Obscure Fiefdom] or Princess [So-and-So] of [Former Principality]—that's old money. Samuel Mayer is not old money.
Like, when I used to go to free recitals at the Curtis Institute, on the back of the evening's programme they'd have a list of donors, with their annual contributions listed. At the bottom you'd just have random fans of the institution, then you made your way up and you see charitable institutions, some families, and at the top you'd get a curious mix: A bunch of couples, some families, plenty of single names, a lot with Jewish or Central European surnames, others very English, some recognisable but many obscure, with about half bearing some weird title or another. Those randos with the weird names at the top? That's old money.

old money seems good at staying out of the spotlight
