I stopped studying the cello. I started studying Arabic. I grew up on the other side of the middle of nowhere and am an inveterate urban dweller now. I like mathematics, fountain pens, and TTRPGs. https://sidewalks.meangrape.com

I want meat, but all I have in the fridge are a chicken breast and some beef bulgogi marinating for tomorrow. I’ve got to buy some charcuterie for times like this

I don’t have butternut squash, but I do have red kuri squash. Five-spice red kuri squash pie?

@drsarteschi.bsky.social Sovcit did this to her car. It resulted in the car being towed and a cop ripping the plate off of it before hauling it away. Sovcit was not pleased.

I don’t want to keep my calories lower. I’m eating junk food for more calories.

I just realized I would be a good member here. Grocery store jobs I’ve had: produce, butcher, food sales & demo cook, accountant, assistant store manager. I like working in grocery stores.
We need extra member labor this week - can you bank a shift? Many different jobs and times are open…

I’m so bad at getting my calories that my food tracker has patterns like “on days you eat candy bars and entire bags of chips your calories are down”

Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

Today, thinking about things makes them more complicated. Also I should eat something. Lentils and rice with tamarind? Wait, I think I'm out of tamarind. Maybe I have preserved lemons.
