I am finally understanding that if I want a spice blend or a specific ingredient, I have to make it myself, wait a week for Amazon, or drive 300 miles to acquire it. Here's me pretending I'm excited
This town hasn't got shit for asian cooking. The "Asian market" is mostly non perishables and Philippino snacks. I am unfortunately disinterested in shrimp chips. But! I am using lunar new year to make all of my favorite things from scratch.
So far I've got red bean paste, bao on the go, char siu, dumplings, 3 different colors of glutinous rice for rice rolls along with pork floss. I'm velveting chicken, I'll make the kid some chow mein, and I'm about to start the dough for green onion pancakes.
I'm attempting to get my bearings early today because there's a tyrant in my house that will wake up in an hour and demand that we take it outside. She's deeply concerned were only getting one day of snow this year. Oh potato, you're about to get sick of it.
Got into a weird argument about shoes with a shoes salesman. I just wanted a pair of waterproof running shoes. I was told that's not a thing. And the only people who buy them are people who dont like dirt in their toes. Sir, snow is wet. You moist toed freak.
Also, who doesn't have summer and winter running shoes. Also if this keeps the dust out of toes I'll sure as shit wear them in the summer. What animal thinks man my toes a dusty as fuck, this is fine.
Headed out again this morning for elderberry and maaaaaybe some mushrooms. The fact that this is all now 20 minutes from my door is probably the best part of our move.
Buying a house should be fucking fun. At least the part after your bid gets accepted. Whoever the fuck made this process stupid, I hope a giant fart ruptures at a bend in your colon and you get a belly full of poo.
@CliffMass My 3 year old loves cloud science and due to a nature book points out the different kinds she might get the deeper science less but I think all Littles love clouds
It was like seeing a completely different person and honestly the only reason I recognized him was because he was showing my local coffee shop owner his favorite beat in a song. It was a weird moment. It made me deeply happy to see him so happy. I'm glad you're ok Mr S.
Ran into my JH orchestra teacher the other day he was a miserable man when I was there. Unhappy, sick of our shit. Yesterday he was a kind stranger who sweetly engaged my daughter, and was so fucking excited about music. Tickled about her tiny violin, and overall a God damn joy.
@bonmotmilo I just drink the pickle juice... I do not have pots though. I have headaches after I run in heat. Freezing it makes it take longer to ingest...
@kcexec@kcmetrobus Um. So thanks, that the situation you saw covers the whole city. I don't even know specific spots, but I bet on a 20 minute drive around the city we could get many spots cleaned. The problem isn't the trash, and it will be back to that same state in a few days.
