Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Argh. Getting a haircut and it’s drying and she absolutely cut way more off than I asked and it’s not at all the style I asked for. Time to stock up on hats I guess.

I said “I like the length in the front and back but want shorter sides, and want it kind of mullet-y” and she…chopped off the back to curve it to my skull. wtf.

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

Oh ugh. That sounds really off from what you wanted. Is it fixable? (Not the length obviously.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, man, to know what you want done and get something completely else, argh!

Punishingly Intricate

I don’t remember having lentils as a kid but I love them now! And many don’t need any kind of soaking.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

For low carb, potato like veggies, may I also suggest rutabaga and turnip. I also love cauliflower.

It is 11 pm and I just started the beef stew in the instapot, but it should only take 30 minutes. It has turnip, rutabaga, onion and celery along with the beef. But my non diagnosed ADHD has lost the pepper/has no pepper so I added red chili pepper flakes.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was going to enthuse about roasted cauliflower (summary: SO GOOD), but then Tim made blueberry pancakes for dinner because I was stressed and sad, and I gotta say, blueberry pancakes are pretty fucking awesome.

Blueberry pancakes are, indeed, pretty fucking awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Banh mi today (this is your fault, Hec)

I take full responsibility. I actually tried to make my dinner sandwich somewhat banh mi...ish. I only partly succeeded but it wasn't a failure either. (My instincts weren't bad but I think I know how I could correct on at least two fronts. All hail Salt Fat Acid Heat.)

I used to make vegan Shepard's Pie for JZ all the time. The meaty part was soy crumbles sauteed with mushrooms, with mashed potatoes on top.

I only have the tedious little bits to address before our trip to Japan but they're the kind of things I avoid until I wake up at 3am the night before and realize I need to address them or we're fucked. So...probably tomorrow.

We are leaving on January 22nd which is pretty fucking soon.

That is soon! Get cracking on those tedious bits before they swamp you
