Usually it’s video games instead of music but this is pretty much accurate hehe

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

my emotional support rosemary thyme garlic loaf

recipe

3 1/2 cups bread flour

2tsp quick rise yeast

2tsp salt

1 1/2 cups cool water

2tbsp dried thyme

1tbsp garlic powder

2tsp dried rosemary

instructions

1. whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl then switch to a spoon as you slowly pour in the water, mixing as you go. keep working the dough and switch to hands as necessary. add extra flour or water as needed in small increments (depending on your environment) and turn out onto a floured surface to gently knead until you reach a dough that is soft and slightly sticky, it should feel a bit 'loose' but stable and shouldn't stick to your hands. this dough doesnt require intense kneading, just a couple mins until it feels incorporated.

2. shape into a ball and drop back into the mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dishtowel at room temp to rise for 2-3 hours (precise temp isn't necessary). after 2-3 hours the dough should be roughly 2x the original size, stick to the sides of the bowl and have little air bubbles all over.

3. (optional) move dough to the fridge to rest overnight or for roughly 12~ hours. you can actually bake it after the 2-3 hours is up but it tastes best when left to rise for longer. longer rise = better flavour.

4. turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a min or two, just folding it on itself until it feels cohesive before shaping it into a ball again. plop it on a sheet of high temp oven-safe parchment paper and cut a large X slash in the centre with a sharp knife or scissors. cover gently with plastic wrap or dishtowel and let sit for 30 mins.

5. get out your dutch oven and place it in the oven with the lid on, and preheat oven to 475°F. the dutch oven will heat with the oven, we want it very hot when the dough gets placed in. once the oven is ready/done preheating, remove the dutch oven and place the loaf inside with the parchment paper included, close the lid and put it back in the oven.

6. bake for 25 mins with the lid on. remove the lid and continue baking 8-10 mins until the crust is golden. carefully remove pot from the oven, remove the bread from the pot and let cool on a wire rack for 30 mins before slicing/serving. the resulting bread should have a crispy crust but very soft inside. works best as a bread for soups, snacks, and on its own warmed up with some soft butter and cheese.

Me getting an only slightly elevated cholesterol test the week before my 24th birthday and wishing so hard I could just be a normal, healthy person. I know I can make changes to help fix it but I've already made so many goddamn changes. I really thought I was starting to be in the clear.

Does it ever occur to you out of the blue how bad your condition has gotten? Like you’re just sipping coffee thinking about breakfast and then you realize that just a couple years ago you could do so many more things. You realize that you’ve acclimated so well to this life that you can’t even imagine how it was before.

Having interned at 2 nursing homes, can confirm

Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted

This is so satisfying

Told myself I wasn’t gonna cry watching Queer Eye this season. I lasted 29 minutes.

[zamboni-princess]

Wow now I feel like I'm going to cry. Alright then

I know next to nothing about the Addam’s Family’s greater canon, but the fact that Lurch is visually so strongly based on Frankenstein’s Creature makes me so happy, because it’s the happy ending the Creature deserves and I can so imagine it? You have the Creature at the end of the novel who is lonely and who has resigned himself that he will never be loved and that all humans will reject him on sight and then he meets the Addam’s Family and they are the first ones who don’t attack him or run away screaming - they either don’t say anything or even more likely, they are high-key excited about a Creature put together from corpses. That’s probably the highest Addam’s aspiration, to be more than 1 corpse. So they take him in and he has a family for the first time. What a crossover. What over-thinking on my part. I love it.

My childhood

Zuko: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is starin at me weird

[zamboni-princess]

I just realized, Zuko was the only person around to witness Zhao’s demise

I’m imagining like the gaang is just hanging around the fire a few days before Sozin’s Comet just

Sokka: “We’re really going after the Fire Nation again so soon after the Day of Black Sun… They’ll be far more prepared this time too, I bet. I wonder who they’ll send after us…” Katara: “Probably Azula. She’s already found us once since the Day of Black Sun.” Toph: “Maybe the Fire Lord himself? That would at least make things easier for us.” Sokka: “No that would be too convenient. They’d send someone else. Possibly Zhao. We haven’t seen him in a while.” Zuko: “????” Aang: “You’re right. Not since the North Pole.” Zuko: “??????” Katara: “That is kind of strange, actually, considering how good he was at tracking us up to that point. Do you think something hap–” Zuko: “Fish ate him.” Sokka: “What” Zuko: “Fish spirit ate him.” Toph: “Fish what” Zuko: “Spirit. Ate him. Didn’t wanna take my hand.” Aang: “…………….The OCEAN SPIRIT ATE HIM?” Zuko: “Actually I don’t wanna talk about it.”
