#baking containers

[balkanradfem]

So I've been thinking for the last few days about how I wanted to make a sour cherry pie; they're still not ripe enough to eat and it's been cloudy so it's taking a while. But they're great for a pie. I've been getting an obstacle in form of 'in what container can I bake a pie', because all of my oven containers are big, rectangular, and generally not great to take a pie out of. I considered maybe using a plate, or a broken pan, but I would get a little put off. Whenever I see someone else do it, they're using those round glass containers for baking; I've always wanted one, but they're way too fancy for me, and I'd never buy one.

So fast forward to this morning; I had given myself way too many chores, failed to eat breakfast, got woken up too early by my roommate, and by 7am I was already in the garden, then working the field, then foraging for nettle. I was on my way back at 10am, feeling a little faint, but I noticed a big trash container in my way, and I'm all grumpy about having to go around it, the damn thing was in the middle of the walkway.

However, I noticed this trash container had a bucket, and a gardener needs buckets; as many buckets as possible (for catching rainwater). I also needed on for my future compost toilet, so that's another great reason to check out this bucket. I assumed it had to be broken or have a hole in it to be thrown away, and I peeked inside to see. There was some stuff in it. Some stuff that suspiciously looked like.. no. I couldn't mess with it in the middle of the street, I just took the entire bucket home, and decided to check it out in privacy.

I got it home, took the thing out, it was extremely, extremely filthy, filled with some sort of grease and ashes, I left it to soak in chlorine for a while to remove any bacteria, scrubbed and washed it several times, and this is what I got!

A perfect glass pie container! At the exact moment I needed one!

And, this is not all the bucket contained. It also had: one small miniature glass vase, a few pieces of cardboard (thrown away), a particularly strong nail, a very strong screw (I'm collecting nails and screws to use them in furniture construction), a paintbrush (but a bad one), and a very low value coin (lucky coin).

And the bucket wasn't even broken. I'm so ready to start a homestead you gyns.

Extremely cheered up by this lucky find, I went to gather cherries and find flowers for my new tiny vase, I'm off to make a cherry pie.

mr bones did u know that some british ppl call garbage trucks binlorries

The British/English dialect is a treasure trove. They really will come out here and make a whole new word for a trash can on wheels, they're like "wheeliebin innit"

Why is the language around trash so indirect? Like, there's no "dump," it's a "tip," a dumpster is a "skip," no garbage truck, it's a "bin lorry," even "rubbish" it's like... these words are so gentle. Even Trash Can, it's "bins." Not "Toilet," it's "lou."

It sounds so clean to me, like there's a minor taboo against just calling things gross. But then like, "pissin' down" is how heavy rain gets described?? Language is weird

Funny enough what butters my jorts the most is "carboot sale." You mean Flea Market?? Why do your cars have boots, what's wrong with trunks?

Character growth. 😔

Jack: Daddy, guess what I've been reading? This book has all sorts of fire safety tips!

Martin: Oh thank the watcher--I mean, that's great, sweetie.

Jack: Did you know you shouldn't throw water on a grease fire? I just learned that!

My sister and I are having a disagreement, and I am feeling petty, so I am summoning Tumblr to help settle this question.

(I think that feeling the butter is an entirely appropriate way to check its texture. My sister thinks that hands should not go inside the mixing bowl, even if said hands are clean. As additional context, I am predominantly a bread baker, but I also make other baked goods; my sister cooks more than she bakes, but when she bakes it's usually sweet things.)

Feel free to reblog and put your opinions/wisdom in tags.

Made some quick pickles with what I'm pretty sure is the last harvest of lemon cucumbers this year. Have to sit in the fridge for a few days first though.

Also made muffins. I have a banana muffin recipe from my mom that I ways use, which calls for 6 very ripe bananas and I only had 3, so instead of halving the recipe I tried substituting the other half for apple sauce. Cut back on the sugar but I think they're slightly too sweet. Probably good with tea or coffee though.

I feel like one extra advantage to fucking me is how at least at some point I’ll prolly make you brownies.

Made brownies for some one today and just remembered they’re def cooler and should get covered up. And was like oh you know I’ve done this a handful of times now.
