  Taste the water, it should be salted generously but it should taste good and to answer your previous question you can save it as a spiced seafood stock. Put it in a bisque, or make a seafood pasta with it, or boil your rice in it for some shrimp fried rice.

  so the diluting the flavour is a part of the process of cooking. Essentially when you boil the seafood some of the naturaL juices of the seafood will leech out into the water and will be replaced by the water.

  you want this to happen. It seasons the food. That’s why you should make sure your water or broth is flavorful. Season it generously with salt, add some old bay, lemon, garlic, onions. Maybe use some beer, chicken broth, orange juice or citrus to flavour the water. Finally let your seafood sit in the hot water for 10 minutes to really allow for absorption.

  You can finish your seafood in butter and baste it if you want some colour, but all those steps above will produce a delicious end product.

  As a society, we so often want our solutions to be completely elegant and perfect. Life isn’t perfect, situations are messy, details get missed.

  every washroom doesn’t need to be perfectly gendered neutral and retrofitted to be “compliant”. We can just build a couple of stalls where anyone can go and use the stall for whatever reason. Public washrooms are already the worst most uncomfortable place in the world.

  The larger issue imo is that we are wasting way too much time and energy talking about where people should take a shit. It’s a fucking washroom. Can we please move on?

  You don’t have to like or be friends with trans people, just leave them alone.

  Are you suggesting washrooms and sexual assault/child abuse are related? Wtf

  Washrooms are such an odd obsession. Just make single occupancy toilets , it’s more space efficient
