May 2024: Kebab Weekend

It might not look like it but this thin line of trees between a highway and a field filled with utility lines is a much needed habitat especially for birds:

"As swift as the swallow that flies through that air." - The Creggan White Hare by Daoiri Farrell:

Squirrels are sloppy eaters. Squirrel planted sunflower:

Saturday dinner - salad, grilled vegetables with steak, chorizo & shrimp:

The art of imbuing food with smoke flavor on a gas grill. This is a roughly 50/50 mixture of pecan & apple wood. The pecan is strong like hickory, oak & mesquite while the apple is sweet & light. The blend renders a smoke flavor that is balanced like a beautiful katana crafted by a master. The blackened pieces are wood chunks that have seen one or more grillings. The water, with its minute particles of ash, is retained & poured into our compost bins. Nothing is wasted... only transformed:

Maybe we'll get grapes this year:

More squirrel planted sunflowers. Given the effort that my queen & I have put into trying to grow sunflowers in previous years, it is a little annoying that the squirrels managed it by just being sloppy eaters:

My 3 minute egg timer that I've started using to time when I'm grilling. My queen likes her steak well done. On our gas grill, 16 to 18 minutes produces a well done steak that is still juicy. She says I could teach the cooks at the local steakhouses a thing or two about cooking a well done steak properly:

Sunday dinner. My queen requested more grilled delights. This time the protein was chicken:

I haven’t really seen this anywhere but there’s a 100% chance people have already discovered this but using an hourglass (an actual, physical hourglass off of amazon for like $10-20) makes doing things like reading and writing SO MUCH easier. Now, I don’t know if this is an adhd thing but having something physically there that doesn’t literally have numbers or words but an actual (consistent!) visually progressing system which you work until it’s done is... it’s so good for time management. I would never be able to do this with something like a phone timer. It’s basically just the pomodoro method lol but I don’t think a kitchen timer would work (too mechanical, has numbers (”minutes left”) on it). I’ve used it to clean my room, read, and do autobiographical writing so far (once a day! That’s a first!). Just like the pomodoro method I take little breaks in between. About to finish Brian Jacques’ Redwall because of it (finally chipping away at my booklist! And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is next)

Currently writing meta on the symbolism of fish water and dreams.

But I was too excited about Carmy's tattoo. I believe it is a Japanese Amberjack (yellowtail), and Hamachi is a young yellowtail.

I believe it's his favorite fish? He introduced the dish to Chef David a year ago; he's also seen juicing blood oranges during his time at Ever. I think he had been planning something with Hamachi for some time. It was his idea before Chef David overshadowed it.

Just goes to show Carmy is going to remember the dish when Sydney tells him it was her favorite meal.

the only LoZ game to cause me minor despair was when I realized that I would not be able to ever finish Majora's Mask bc I simply could not work around the timer mechanic, and that wasn't even a villain or narrative element, I just fucking hated the game mechanic

[Image ID: A drawing of an hourglass on a wooden shelf in front of a stone wall labeled “The Sands of Time”.

In the top half of the hourglass, Solidarity Gaming’s Empires SMP Season 2 character is sitting on a pile of sand. He is a blond white man with brown eyes sitting with his side towards the camera, turning his head to look at the camera. He is wearing a white button up, brown best, blue handkerchief, blue jeans, and brown cowboy boots. He has a neutral expression on his face.

In the bottom half of the hourglass, Solidarity Gaming’s Empires SMP Season 1 character is kneeling, staring forlornly a the ground. He is also a blond white man with brown eyes, but he has green fish scales in place of ears. He is wearing an outfit in multiple different shades of green and white. His top is a mini cape in light green with white trim. His jumpsuit underneath is a darker green and he has a small bottle on his black belt. He is wearing darker green boots. The sand from the top half of the hourglass is slowly spilling out of the top and over top of him. End ID]

[Image ID: Two closeups of the above drawing. The first is a closeup of season 1 Jimmy in the bottom half of the hourglass. The second is of season 2 Jimmy in the top half of the hourglass. End ID]

Bruce once made an offhand comment about how no one wears watches anymore because they all use their phones to tell time

The next day Tim buys a smartwatch

Dick straps the hourglass he got from the dentist onto his wrist

Damian carries a bunch of candlesticks with nails in them and lights one whenever he needs a timer

Jason lugs around two industrial buckets of water to make a water clock

Steph gets an antique pocketwatch but it's carried around by a personal assistant that's coming out of Bruce's budget

Barbara buys a classroom clock and keeps it in her wheelchair pocket

Cass stands in a well-lit area and checks her shadow

Duke unearths a fifty-pound sundial and names it Duke II

Bruce no longer comments on Gen Z
