I moved to a small town in the summer of 2024, and immediately bought a 10 ride bus pass. Haven't looked up the relative square footage, but the whole town feels smaller than the suburb I grew up in, so I end up walking a lot.
Asked the bus driver yesterday and apparently I still have 5 rides left.
I feel so bad for women sometimes...
I don't usually hook up with straight guys but the last one... Mf was under the impression that any amount of naturally occurring lubrication indicated his partner was cumming 💀
We had 3 days of rain, then yesterday was sunny and 25C, and today it's SNOWING again 😭
A jar lid in the foreground with Bessie written in sharpie, and a large jar of sourdough starter, which has risen significantly above a line marking the original volume of starter.
My OG sourdough starter, Bessie, definitely has some 'neglect tolerance' traits... Transferred her into a pickle jar that I hadn't washed well enough, and had to revive the 4-days-unfed jar of discard when I realized my mistake.
Doubling and bubbling again after a few days of care.
A reusable plastic wrap thing for covering bowls, with a smiley face in the center
I've owned this for far too long to have only now seen the smiley...
I have... a type, right? I pursue older men, and one of them (in his 50s) found out I hooked up with my neighbour and said, "but he looked so old!" (60s-70s)
My brain kinda froze while I stared at his white beard, "well, yeah, most of my guys tend to be pretty old."
Love this man's approach to ticket sales. So dedicated to making sure fans don't get ripped off ❤️

A blue plate with two fried eggs and an apparent pile of slop - a cheesy biscuit smothered in sausage gravy
I'm immensely disappointed in every American who has ever talked to non-Americans about biscuits and gravy, because they never emphasized that the "gravy" is 30-50% pork
Inherited too much money to collect disability, but could get around the asset cap if I put some into a trust...
But I need to find a human who is not myself to be the trustees
And I literally don't have a single person I can ask
How do people have connections with people in real life
It's *always* the guys who can't take no for an answer that end up being ashamed of sex. Thinking that pestering someone long enough will change a no into a yes and then becoming enraged at the idea that anyone else got a different answer...
"Straight guy" hits me up on Grindr, refuses to take "I'm not into straight guys" as an answer, and accuses me of "not actually looking just enjoying the validation"
Reply that I got action earlier so I'm not looking [to hookup] at 3am
Mf (on a hookup app) says "ew, gross" and I just- 🤣🤣🤣
6 cheese scones on a parchment paper lined baking tray
Completely forgot to mix the herbs into the dough smh
An oval bread loaf on a wooden cutting board, with two slices laying to the right
A round loaf covered in flaxseed on a wooden cutting board, with two slices and a bread knife laying to the right
A balsamic/oil container held up in a pale hand. Two interlocked teardrop shaped glass jars with corks
This is all I have left from the 1L bottle of olive oil I bought last month... Bread in oil and vinegar is too damn good.
A cast iron Dutch oven with a round multigrain loaf and an oval cast iron pan with a white sourdough loaf
A multigrain and classic sourdough loaf on a metal cooling rack on a bamboo tabletop.
And now the waiting... The hardest part. Taste test approx 1 hour away
Freshly baked sourdough biscuits in a cast iron skillet, with extra lumps of dough in the outer gaps
Biscuits stacked on a cooling rack
I'm no American, but I'd say these biscuits turned out pretty well for a first time
A white ceramic spoon rest decorated with a black sheep
You really learn what your family thinks about you when this is what your mom gifts you as a souvenir from your ancestral homeland.
A freshly baked sourdough loaf, scored along the top, cooling on a metal rack on top of a glass cooktop. The bubbly interior texture takes up almost the entire upper crust of the loaf. A thermometer reading 25C sits on the bamboo counter to the left, with a 'black sheep' ceramic spoon rest on the far right.
Dat #sourdough split
It hit 13-15C (~55F) and suddenly there's life everywhere, dudes having phone calls on the porch in tshirts and bare feet, kids walking around the neighborhood 🌞
My house got hit by a power outage, but my next door neighbor is unaffected. 😭
I know @tastinghistory.bsky.social is working on a new cookbook... If I have one request so far, it would be to add subheadings to the table of contents with that course or food type the recipes are. Some of them don't have English names and it's tough to find a specific type of recipe at a glance.
Turquoise dishes with thick sliced oat bread, roast beef covered in a thick garlic sauce, and a bowl of the parsnip and onion stew that the roast was cooked in.
Two cookbooks; Simple Sourdough and Tasting History
The recipes for Honey Oat Sourdough and Beef with Garlic Harvester Sauce
Finally made some meat to accompany the sourdough. Honey oat bread with roast beef and parsnips ft. @tastinghistory.bsky.social
The portions could probably use some adjusting... I used half the beef (2 lbs) and more parsnip than called for, but I don't think this bowl has 12 servings of veggies.
And the focaccia I made with the cinnamon raisin loaf (very confusing smells in the apartment)
First, basic sourdough loaf. Enameled Dutch oven.
First oval loaf, but messed up the flip to pan and had to mess around with the edges. The really flat end had a big air pocket trapped and didn't brown underneath like the rest of the crust.
Sandwich loaf in a basic 8.5x4 loaf pan; made a BLT with the previous oval loaf and the mayo dripped through so many holes
Cinnamon raisin loaf. Don't think I scored it deep enough, and the temp/time of the recipe ended up a bit more brown than I expected
My sourdough arc so far
I'm genuinely curious if neurotypicals perceive anything when taking amphetamines, because I absolutely don't. There's no high, nothing to possibly be addicted to.
Getting my ADHD meds in 28-day supplies instead of 30-days like all my other pills because it's a "dangerously addictive" medication that I literally cannot tell if I've taken...
Literally just makes it real tough to fill all my pills at the right time so I can remember to take the damn pills
Today I learned about the term "jaffle" and I've never been so certain that Australia is a completely made up place.
I'll never understand people who have no shame around their media volume in public
Sitting across the laundromat from someone, listening to a video through noise cancelling headphones and I could still hear jacksepticeye coming from this guy's phone speakers
HOW CAN YOU BE OKAY WITHOUT HEADPHONES‽
Mixed with lard and honey, that's some tasty dang meat-fruit-and-fat pucks. Would survive on these during an apocalypse.
A handful of small pieces of dehydrated beef and dried cranberries being held above a circular glass container. The dry ingredients for pemmican, which will be held together by melted lard.
Making #pemmican literally just because I had an urge to see what it actually was.
Dehydrated beef strips in the oven and air fryer, chopped into little pieces and dried a bit more. Tossed the meat in the food processor with equal weight of store bought dried cranberries.
I love the little delighted grins everyone else shares 😅
