Like, I get comments from people telling me it’s weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and having to reintroduce the cutter knife to the potato for every piece.
Why would you ever want to peel them?
I used to eat the skins until my kidney stone went to the lab. No more skins or spinach for me. :-( Kidney stone pain is an amazingly-effective incentive for dietary change.
I was a bartender for a bit.
It’s normal for coworkers to complain about picky/annoying guests.
A coworker came up to me:
Jfc guy said he wanted a lot of lemon with his Pepsi, I gave him 3, he said he wants like a whole lemon worth of slices wtf
Me: Was he… Old?
Yeah…?
Me: kidney stones. That mans probably had a few, and he’s done with em. Give him a sidecar of fresh lemon juice (something we had on hand), you’ll make his day.
Spinach is oxalate rich, and oxalates are the main cause of kidney stones https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/5-steps-for-preventing-kidney-stones-201310046721
