Heya kat! At my old job, I had the first plant I ever had that didn't die immediately. I decided it was because my watering schedule was a lot like nature -- sometimes it's dry for a couple of weeks, then it rains a lot all at once....
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

ita, as a general rule, I think Alton Brown makes everything as complicated as possible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Alton Brown makes everything as complicated as possible.
The recipe I was given at work involved simmering for 45 minutes. Alton's recipe seems like less work.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's crazy talk, Lee.

I pretty much water the monster jade plant that came with the office every friday.
It really needs to be repotted, but I'm kind of afraid to move it, as its armsbranches are coming close to suspending the pot in midair and I'd probably break a lot of them.
I know pruning=good, I'm just resistant to it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have steel cut oatmeal sitting in my kitchen, but I never make it because of the long prep time. When it occurs to me that it would taste good, I'm hungry right then, y'know? I think I originally bought it to be an ingredient rather than a meal, though.

Some plants like a little pruning -- they're genetically built to survive getting nibbled on.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ita-- we have the overnight oatmeal a lot. Yummy, easy, and it's great to throw in various combos of dried fruit so it's different every time.

I hadn't actually scrolled down before. If you have a crock pot, that seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
But I still laugh remembering my mother calling me with an emergency tone in her voice to tell me that crepes are not the big fucking deal (her words) Alton was making them out to be.
