This week’s leftovers repurposing flow: -Cabbage roll soup w rice (that thickened dramatically as it cooled) -Actual cabbage rolls (stuffed with cabbage roll soup) braised in tomato sauce w sausages -Pasta with a sauce of tomatoes, cabbage, and sausage

Today I tried a new coffee shop in a tiny town near me — at a crossroads with a church, post office, and fire station. That’s it. That’s the town.

@kendrictonn Indeed 😭

It is unfair to do this to wandering celiacs ;_;

@StellaMittelweg It’s such a useful heuristic!

I do very often break conflicts down to this format in my mind haha

@singinghomeward Because a lot of people only want to help, or be generous, or whatever, on their own terms. They don’t actually care about what would make your life better, only what makes them feel good.

Personally, I would rather not waste my money buying a gift that gets thrown out as soon as it arrives. Why are people so against gift guidelines and registries?

@CPowers14 Flagrant flop

You should be removed from the court in handcuffs when you pull this shit

I’m not sure I’ll ever top 2025 when it comes to wildlife photography. That feeling is such a blessing and a curse at the same time but the unknown is what makes life worth living.

@neovictorian23 The one in the Seattle area?

A picture I took of the Green River—not the Green River Creedence Clearwater Revival sang about, which was in real life not Green River at all, but Putah Creek in California. And that explains a lot.

THAT’S NOT A FLAGRANT FOUL THAT’S A FLAGRANT FLOP

@Strangeland_Elf One of my grandmas has original recipes because my grandpa couldn’t eat wheat back in the 1960s, so she made up rice and barley flour cookies…still with plenty of margarine

I laughed at the “recipes could fit on recipe cards because they were simple and real” thing I saw going around because often times they could fit on recipe cards became they would tell you to use a can of soup or a boxed cake mix 😂

@gdholtby @Strangeland_Elf My grandma’s fudge recipe is from the back of the condensed milk can Same with my mom’s pumpkin pie

@Strangeland_Elf Also they probably *came* from the back of can. Many a case where “grandma’s secret old family recipe” turned out to be verbatim from Campbell’s or Betty Crocker

I got more enjoyment out of this clip than Villeneuve’s Dune films

@Strangeland_Elf Correct. The recipes I got from my grandmothers are not “time-tested traditions” they are 1950s canned goods recipes.

“Our grandparents were eating real food!” Not sure how old your grandparents are but I’m pretty sure a large portion of our grandparents were cooking everything in crisco and margarine.

@Dirtdragonmom Nah, it’s Umpqua ice cream!

True Oregonians eat Tillamook Ice Cream. Salt and Straw is strictly for Portlanders.

@kendrictonn They have broccoli in Japan?

@selentelechia I’d recommend something detail-oriented and repetitive, like spreadsheet work, counted cross stitch, paint-by-numbers, etc

any tips on distracting myself tonight while I wind down bc the prednisone brain is extremely evil and keeps trying to yank me around

@selentelechia It looks like 20mg is when the adrenals have to kick back in, so for longer-term usage that’s where you’d have to level off and taper more slowly to allow your body time to adjust. For short term use it probably doesn’t matter as much, I’m guessing.

@celeriac threshold for what? 🤔

down to 20mg prednisone reducing by 4mg per day idk if I am just delusional or what but I do feel less pissy today than yesterday
