Hit or miss on blogs, honestly. Hank Shaw of Hunter Angler Gardener Cook is one that, reading, I get a good feel for the dish, and Smitten Kitchen is another, though in both cases that is mostly useful for deciding which dishes not to make. I’ll check out Once Upon a Chef, thanks for the recommendation.

Isn’t Bhutan carbon-negative? Because it’s 95% forest?

I do bake! I do all the baking in the house. But it’s all recipes I know by heart at this point.

That’s the heart of it, yeah. I’ll check it out!

In the context of… the neurodivergent life hack community?

That is why I described my specific issues, though.

A right libertarian believes that the best government is the smallest and most local, and that the government cannot and should not regulate sex, drugs, guns, or businesses.

A left libertarian believes that the best government is one that regulates the economy, protects the public commons, and safeguards the rights of minority groups but otherwise leaves people alone to do as they will.

I’m much more familiar with the former, so if I’ve erred in describing the latter someone please correct me.

That’s beautiful.

I’ve only really had success with rewriting recipes in a way that made sense to me.

Yeah, that’s what works best for me, too. I was hoping for something that would make finding new recipes easier, I guess, but maybe there’s no shortcut beyond personal recommendations.

This entire post is about planning. I’m trying to read recipes and understand them so I can plan meals for the coming week. Laying out my mise is helpful when actually cooking, but I can’t lay out mise for every recipe as I go through the book deciding what to make.

I do my mise en place when cooking, my struggle is when reading the cookbook, which also knocks out your response to two and three. I’m not asking about how to cook faster, but rather how to understand what I’m reading, days in advance of cooking, before I’ve even bought the groceries.

That most recipes are written for people to follow in a hurry make sense, so thank you for the recommendations for more technical works.

But you got to see Monica Bellucci’s bedroom eyes, which were sorely lacking in the Manifesto.

Love the love for Chicago, but an article on holistic urbanism that doesn’t even mention the Emerald Necklace, the Burnham diagonals, or the bike culture is leaving money on the table, as it were.

Hasn’t happened yet! Not always succeeding in following the example of Christ, but still I try.

An instance is a server. You can always communicate with everyone on your own server. You can also communicate with everyone on any other server yours is connected to. Not every server is connected to every other; but most are connected to most.

You don’t need an account on each one, but you may want to set up a second account on an instance you like to use as a backup. I have accounts on midwest.social, slrpnk.net, and piefed.social; they all see the same content 99% of the time. But every so often midwest goes down for maintenance, or slrpnk has a firewall issue, and on those days I just switch accounts and keep going.

Parsnip stole the cookie from the cookie jar!

I’m not going to make her shop for her own gift!

The most important aspect of the anniversary gift imo is that it should involve spending time together.

That’s a great insight, thanks!
