Canned tuna on grits. Cheese and raw sliced garlic on crackers. Kimchi chopped and mixed in cream cheese for everything bagels.
I love those salty sour weird pickles so much, the ones with unripe mango are heavenly.
Made sourdough rye, planted more radishes, hoping to go to Pokemon go raid hour today.
Awesome, that is great progress no matter what. Practice is what matters. Take care of yourself. Not kidding about the yin yoga - slow and cold, with pillows, it sort of tricks your nervous system into feeling safe.
Good luck to you! A beer, a healthy supper, a walk in the night before bed. You can build healthy habits not just unhealthy ones. Do things to replace that beer. Yin yoga is really relaxing too, good bedtime practice.
Purity is a bullshit concept. You can't be good without understanding what that is. Doing bad things is one way to figure that out, and yeah you can be good after doing harm, particularly if you face the harm you've done and work to fix it and not repeat it.
Lady, about 174cm and yeah I like it, I think of it as the short end of tall height.
Husband was drinking 3-4 a night and I was freaking out about it, he got it down to 1-2 by not buying it in packs except on weekend. Like he will stop at the corner store and get one beer for after work.
If you buy only one on your way home, instead of a six pack, do you think you would go out and get more, or might it work for you as it did for him?
Sitting at my desk at work is probably the biggest health risk I face.
I eat well, exercise, drink moderately (not every day, never more than two, almost always one drink only), don't smoke, have sex every day, manage my blood pressure, really try to be good to my body and do things to reduce anxiety but the enforced idleness of desk job is for sure unhealthy.
Usually I get cafe con leche from the Cuban place in the morning, and ask for no sugar - if you don't specify none they will drop in so much sugar it is nigh undrinkable.
But if ordering cold coffee without milk I do want it sweetened just not as much as the coffee shop standard. So "half sweetened" usually gets me there.
I do not like hot coffee without milk, and don't like cold coffee unsweetened.
Not usually getting the flavored ones, no. Coffee is a flavor.
Oof, I was not going to share my thoughts on this but: my first thought when I saw the smiling footage was that it had to be a cute psychopath, I don't think most people could smile while they planned to kill anyone, and I was glad that if he was a weapon at least he was aimed correctly. I wouldn't say my impression has changed.
My gay coworker said, and I quote "ooh, hello handsome!"
Nobody I've talked to has been able to dredge up any sympathy for the victim, like literally nobody of any class or inclination. All feel he killed for profit, live by the sword, die by the sword. That is separate from any feelings about the killer or vigilante justice in general.
Very sweet, too sweet but the flavors work.
2oz good tequila (Gonzalez Reposado)
1oz Nixta
1oz honeydew syrup*
1oz lemon
Shaken together. Pour over ice, Tajin rim.
Thoughts- I'm not sure this needs fixing, it's good just too sweet for my palate. The tajin rim helps. The caramel corn and melon together, yum.
*There was leftover melon. Blendered it with equal weight in sugar. It's really good but hyper sweet.
Show off your collection, or organizational skills, or decorating prowess! This is my wall o' booze. I am lucky to have a little nook off the kitchen, and a glass cabinet from my grandmother.
2 oz bourbon
1 oz heirloom pineapple amaro
1/2 oz roasted pineapple syrup
1 oz fresh lemon
Shake shake shake!
My husband's work friend gave him 2 ripe homegrown ripe guava this week, so Guava margaritas. This is:
2 oz Tequila Ocho claro.
1 oz lime
1/2 oz orange liqueur (passion fruit would be better but I'm out)
About 1/4 cup guava flesh muddled with quite a bit of sugar, maybe 1.5 TBSP? Guava has lovely flavor but is not very sweet.
Shake all together and double strain over ice, splash of Topo Chico.
It's really good!
The 1600 cocktail. The website hosting the recipe seems to be offline but it's from East Imperial Tonic Water.
50ml / 1 ¾ oz Premium Aged Rum.
5ml / ⅙ oz Orgeat.
15ml / ½ oz Cold Brew Coffee.
150ml / 5 oz East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic.
Fresh Orange Slice.
Stirred everything but the soda (I used a spoonful of tonic syrup and 150ml of Fever Tree grapefruit soda) and no I can't measure 5ml of orgeat, just poured as little as I could.
It's a lot better than it sounds, honestly. The coffee makes it. And hello to the 1,600 of you!
I bake exclusively with sourdough starter for any bread but this is the simple one my kids call "the sourdough". For two loaves:
300 grams whole wheat flour
700 grams strong white flour
700 grams water
200 grams refreshed starter at about 100% hydration
20 grams nice sel gris
I don't knead it, just stretch and fold 4 times over 2 hours, bulk rise another 2-3 hours, split and bench rest half an hour, shape and refrigerate it overnight in bannetons covered with plastic bags. In the morning (or whenever you are ready the next day) heat oven to 475 F (about 245 for you civilized folk) with the two big cast iron dutch ovens inside, so that they get really hot. Remove dough from fridge, tip it onto parchment (so the bottom is now the top) and score, cold dough is so easy to score! Carefully move into pans, close them up and bake 25 minutes closed then 20-25 minutes open.
So it doesn't look well risen in the morning but putting cold dough into a hot closed cast iron pot generates steam, which is pretty much a slam dunk for good looking bread.
Absolute magic, I still don't understand how something so delicious is created from literally just flour, water, and a little salt.
Huh. I hate them in food but use them for stock. Shrimp peels and an onion are all you need for a very flavorful stock.
