hate.

having a nickel allergy is actually so insidious because what you MEAN I need to pay attention to the nickel content in my food. what do you MEAN that it doesn’t even present like typical food allergy symptoms (no tingly mouth, no throat closing, no stomach pain etc) and it took until my mid-late 20s to realize that dietary nickel is probably why I’d sometimes get hives randomly on my arms with no apparent cause and have also now deal with chronic eczema. what do you MEAN that all the foods that I eat specifically because they are high in nutritional value consistently also contain nickel.

Here I was thinking my nickel allergy was pretty mild!! so many mysteries in my life were all probably caused by nickel. It was always nickel.

Star Trek Voyager/Alternative Universe:

Telek: Captain Janeway, I learned of my fate and decided to change it. I will be working as your ship's cook from now on.

Janeway: Is that Neelix chef's hat in the pot?

Telek: Indeed. Please don't worry. I examined the chef's hat carefully and found that it was suitable for food processing. Unlike Neelix, by the way.

Janeway: How is that possible?

Telek: We Romulans are descendants of sturdy pioneers. Finding and using unusual food sources is part of our culture.

Janeway: But you sent poor Neelix to the trash can.

Telek: Well, my people have a comprehensive wealth of knowledge about useful creatures and things. That’s why we know how to set priorities. Would you like to have a taste, Captain?

Janeway: Very much. Hmmm, amazing.

Telek: How pleasing that you are satisfied.

Janeway. All right, you got the job.

For sunny 😎 fun Friday, I made dinner 🍽️ AND a dessert instead of my usual OMAD (one meal a day), For dinner 🍽️, I cooked rump steak 🥩 (peppered) and corn on the cob 🌽 (melted in butter) with a touch of English mustard. For dessert, it was another variation of an Eton mess, but this time using only strawberries, crushed meringue, chocolate chips and squirty cream 🍨

Toddler- Practical Life: Making Butter

One of the many joyful aspects of a Montessori environment is food preparation. Food prep, from the Practical Life section of the classroom, is a multi-stepped lesson that requires concentration, order, and coordination to be successful. Here, the whole class made homemade butter, which was a multi-step process that took patience and collaboration. First, a student poured cream into the perforated jar that he had the freedom pour independently without fear of spilling. The children practiced patience as the cream had to set. Then the students passed it around the table, taking turns shaking it up. Once properly shaken, it was placed in the fridge to chill overnight until firm. Finally, the next morning, they could enjoy the fruits of their labor as they spread it onto toast for snack. This activity required concentration by following a sequence of steps, hand-eye coordination while pouring, gross motor skills as they shook the jar, and fine motor skills when spreading the butter with a knife. Who knew toddlers were capable of so much?
