Your rabbi is a fucking badass.

I told him you said this. He laughed.

Then he had to ask me if that was a good thing, and I laughed.

I lost any respect for him when he doubled down on using the expression “spirit animal”, and him calling Jewish people who asked him to be more mindful about his extensive use of Holocaust rhetoric during the 2016 election “concern trolls” cinched it. Since then he’s reblogged at least one extremely antisemitic Mark Zuckerberg meme and ignored everyone who called him on it.

This makes me want to make you some of my easy-tasty-cheap avocado toast! Rye bread, toasted, spread a little butter on it. Cut a ripe avocado in half, take out the pit, unpeel each half onto a slice of buttered toast. Sprinkle on a little queso fresco if desired, and season (I usually use Krazy Mixed-Up Salt and crushed red pepper).

You need a tote bag to keep all the dish towels in! ;)

I DO HAVE TOTE BAGS STILL. I used to use a basket but I can’t find the basket.

I bought two sturdy metal U shaped coat hooks and mounted them on my pantry wall for my pastry board. You could also use a picture frame shelf. considering the layout of your kitchen, I'd mount it under the circuit breaker panel unless you plan to put Art over it at some point

That’s one option I was considering! I have a bunch of large screw-mount hooks that it could rest on, but my problem was I couldn’t work out where to put it. Beneath the circuit-breaker isn’t a bad idea, I will investigate this option further.

I want the recipe.

Sadly I just sort of slammed it together, so I don’t have any measurements, but if you’ve cooked with fruit you kind of know how much sugar to include. So:

Peel, core, and dice apples and pears, toss with a bunch of sugar and some cake spice, then sautee in butter until a bit soft and there’s a bunch of juice in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with spoonfuls of flour until the whole thing thickens up into a clumpy mass; dump in a pie glass. 

Cut some cold butter into some flour, then stir in sugar and uncooked rolled oats. Sure, throw some walnuts in there if you want. Pour over top of fruit, spread out evenly, and bake at 350 until the edges start to brown (30-minutes-ish).

My M-i-L makes this with candied ginger shredded throughout. So, so good.

I sprinkled some dried chopped dates on mine -- not a ton, because I wasn’t sure if it would be delicious, but it was, so next time more dates!

Hi, maybe I've not followed you long enough but have you ever explained why you don't like February?

Honestly I’m neutral on February but it always seems like it has a disproportionate amount of terrible things happening in it, especially since it’s the shortest month. It’s mostly a running joke, but declaring February to be the worst, most terrible month is also a way of coping with the normal, everyday bad stuff that in this case happens in a slump time -- it’s after the holidays, everyone’s failing at their New Year’s resolutions, it’s cold and boring, and Valentine’s Day is in the middle of it.

I'm gonna steal your lifting spreadsheet set up there thx my current system is v unorganized

Please feel free! I keep mine in googledocs and open it in the “sheet” app on my phone while I’m lifting, that’s how I track it. (I don’t know why this morning all my numbers are like 8.00 or 10.00, sheet just decided to add decimals onto everything.)

Wait.... what sky castle Glitch? I've played through the Sky Castle at least 4 times.

There is apparently a glitch -- other people have mentioned encountering it as well -- where that hole in the wall that you’re meant to creep through, the one near the mesh you climb on, towards the end of the level? It just doesn’t appear. I’ve played the game to a standstill twice (and redone Sky Castle with a walkthrough multiple times trying to solve the issue) because the hole glitched out and I literally couldn’t go any further. 

To my mind, given I played the game to a point where it stopped functioning, I have beaten Twilight Princess -- but it would be nice to do so for real. I’m just not sure I’m willing to replay the stagecoach chase or the wild boar hunt to get there again.

“I find your lack of treyf disturbing”, surely. ��

That's a shake. It sounds delicious, but it sounds like a milkshake, not a smoothie.

You burn more calories when you're on, so it's likely. But it can't hurt to eat more good stuff too right?

Considering I was living on less than 400 calories a day for over ten weeks (god that fucking virus was awful) no it’s not a bad thing.

apparently lemon is one of the rarer cravings associated with iron-deficiency anemia. though I should point out that the top 3 links in the search turned up 'stomach pH imbalance' and 'low magnesium'. (but given the period...? idk) fun thing to go look up tho :D

I just had all my blood tests done and I’m the most non-anemic I have ever been in my entire life but stomach pH imbalance is interesting and plausible given that I’m finally no longer taking the 4 different anti-acids that were dissolving my intestines/giving me aura migraines so maybe something is trying to fix itself? Either way, lemon tasty and it’s healthier than craving things I’m allergic to which I used to do before.

Candied lemon peel on oatmeal sounds delicious!

Yikes, that’s invasive and creepy.
