Also bought a Santoku knife to replace an ageing (and kind of blunt) old 9" chefs knife. Still have all my fingers after preparing dinner, but my form must be atrocious to anyone watching.

(Also *really* need a new chopping board)
A battered and stained old chopping board, on which sits a new Japanese Santoku knife and a pair of black handled scissors.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Is this good?

Found on FB.
An edit of the popular 4-panel "nothing's changed" genie comic, extended to six panels. In the first panel, the person tells the genie "I wish I had the perfect body." In the second panel, there is a puff of smoke captioned "poof" and the genie replies "It is done." In the third panel magical smoke is dispersing and the person comments "Nothing's changed." In the fourth panel the genie replies "Correct." In the new fifth panel, the person says "Wow, you're a wholesome genie." In the final panel the genie replies "I'm a hallucination take your meds".

Revisited a favourite recipe, extra-spicy ramen noodles. As always, it lives up to its name. #Food #ItBurnsButInAGoodWay
A big white bowl of udon noodles in a rich orange-red broth. Beside it are chopsticks and a soup spoon sitting on a round yellow ceramic soup rest, and a glass of water sits behind them.

No, *you* woke up at 4am, couldn't sleep, cleaned the kitchen for 45 minutes, and made a cup of soup.
A crowded computer desk, with keyboard, trackball, phone stand, numerous charge cables, a cup containing miso soup with a short fork's handle sticking up out of it, beard brush off to one side, and the bottom of two computer monitors.

Did a little bit of #MealPrep for the next few days, and this one is winner. Started with this recipe, and browned in a pan some some diced ham and (nice) sliced frankfurters to add a little protein. (Not pictured, try serving for tonight) #Food

Three open glass food storage containers, each half full of a mix of potato, onion, cubed ham and sliced frankfurters in a spicy reddish-orange sauce with pieces of diced chillies. The other half is white rice, slightly discoloured from where a little soy sauce was splashed over it.

I bought one shirt from here that was sized well, so I'm rolling the dice on a bigger order.
A screenshot from the Lazada shopping app showing an order for three bright shirts. One is a print of teddy bears in shades of blue, the next is the same design but in pastels, and the third is a print of bright musical instruments on a black background that I could best describe as 50s cool beatnik.

Tried something different (again). Sliced steak with tteokbokki (rice cake) with cheese and sweetcorn. Actually came out better than expected, and the steak was better than my usual attempts. #Food

It tastes great. Get creative. You can add vegetables and protein, and change up the sauce. Try other nut butters, or noodle types.

Feeling this today. #Doom
A three-panel Pearls Before Swine cartoon. In the first panel Pig is looking at an essay question on a piece of paper. Text reads "Class Assignment. Please state your hopes for the future." In the second panel he has written "Was not aware there would be one." In the third panel two teachers are looking at this response. The first teacher says "Maybe I shouldn't ask this generation." The second responds "Drinking more is the answer, Bob."

An *actual* tofu press that I ordered finally arrived. It's currently, um, pressing tofu.
A tofu press. The top with a screw knob is white, with a transparent body, and inside is a green box that holds the wet tofu. A spring is positioned beneath the internal tofu box, which pushes the box up against a plastic panel that press's hard against the tofu to push out liquid. A closer view of the assembled press with tofu being processed.
