Mm.. cozy..

@stealingyourbones has made some delightful food abominations, which taught me I can replace the water in bread with almost any liquid.

So I tried Miso.

The yeast loved it and frothed up super fast. Mixing miso broth with the egg and oil smelled funky. The dough didn’t rise any fluffier than usual but the texture feels good. Then I decided to roll in some black garlic and green onion. I’d add nori crumbled up but I ran out.

This is amazing. It tastes like if miso soup was solid. The flavor is immaculate. It’s just missing the nori flavor. I can add that next time because I am 100% making this again.

Yes! I love sharing recipes! @lady-jeleania

Here’s my Gma Vesta’s hamburger bun recipe:

1 Tbsp yeast

1/2 cup warm water (miso broth)

- mix together and let it froth up

1 1/2 cup warm water (miso broth)

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 egg

1/4 cup olive oil

- mix all together, then add frothy yeast

5 1/2 - 6ish cups flour

- mix in slowly with a fork until it’s hard to stir with the fork, then stir together with hands until it stops sticking to your skin when you rub your hands together.

- knead the dough about 10min until it starts pushing back (it gets springy)

Let the dough rest for 30min.

(I make a redneck proof box by microwaving a cup of water and quickly replacing the water with the dough bowl and shutting the door to give it a warm place to nap. Do not microwave the dough itself by reflex.)

Roll out the dough and add any flavors you like. For the miso soup bread I chopped up a couple black garlics, and a handful of green onion. Roll it up like cinnamon rolls, cut into 12, and roll each into a ball shape.

Stick in a greased 9x13 casserole dish and let the dough rise to double size. (About 40min-1hr depending on how warm your kitchen is.) (the redneck proof box won’t fit my casserole dish so I stick the rolls on top of the oven while it preheats with a dish towel over it.)

Preheat the oven to 350 and when the dough looks nice and squishy bake it for 20min.

You can brush butter on top if you want. That would look pretty and help a sprinkling of furikake stick after you pull it out of the oven. If you wanna up the miso taste you can also spread a very thin layer of miso paste in before you roll it up with the other fillings. I’m gonna try that next time.

BISEXUALS GROW FROM THE GROUND

like the first signs of a flare up from stress/over exertion used to be red face + fever + rash on my hands

but the lines of my tattoo will become raised and then a little itchy before it progresses to that point

and im discovering that, yeah, if i just listen to the wizard and rest/recuperate/stop pushing myself when it starts acting weird, i can sometimes avoid triggering the other symptoms

First thing: Wilson was a volleyball. Jennifer Lawrence is not an inanimate object. She is a human being.

Women do not exist to alleviate the "mental challenge[s]" of men.

but they included a whole section on inclusivity in games (fine) and why you should be inclusive of women and queer/trans people and race and religion and etc.

and then went "context matters" and then said that, for example, if your game is about people in the military, rules for wheelchair-accessible combat would break the suspension of disbelief, especially if the setting has fancy sci-fi technology to "correct" disability.

and like, context does matter, but also. hey. c'mon.

why is "obviously, nobody in this setting is using a wheelchair" your special example of a bridge too far? wheelchairs are technology just like everything else you listed. they just don't delete the difference from a person's body. and they're not a badass prosthetic.

also, I'm trying to avoid quoting because, again, I do not want to put this person on blast, they put good game design advice on the internet for free, but the specific example of unreasonable inclusion was

obviously, nobody expects "wheelchair-accessible HALO jumps or SCUBA infiltrations"

(HALO jumps are basically extreme skydiving)

hey, my friend? look at those two activities again. what do you notice about them?

wheelchair users are skydiving and doing SCUBA diving today. no science fiction involved. your two examples of activities that make it impossible for someone in the distant sci-fi future to be a soldier in a wheelchair would be possible for many wheelchair users literally today.

- middle aged man who ordered matcha and then just Stood There and watched me make it. when i handed it to him he said i did a good job whisking it and handed me $1.25. ten minutes later when he and his wife left he shouted across the store that i have "good whisk technique" and "don't lose that!"

- woman who ordered a drink with the word "salty" in the name and then said "but with salted caramel." and when i said yeah that one comes with salted caramel she said "really? not just normal caramel?" and it took every ounce of my self control not to say yeah girl that's why it's called. Salty.

TIL that scarring is influenced by genetics and darker skin folks are more likely to develop keloid scars.

Oh to be a gay little knight
