In this comfortable old farmhouse living room, an antique grocery store bin, with its original display shelves filled with jars or dried food of various types, creates a fascinating focal point. An old pine chest serves as a coffee table for a pair of tuxedo loveseats.

I was sitting in my hostel's common room (journaling and absentmindedly eating dinner) and tripped and fell into a two hour discussion with a British man who happened to be sitting there as well. We discussed international politics and I managed to hold my own---who knew I had this many opinions about the ICJ? Also he kissed my hand afterward, which has to be the most charming thing to happen to me in recent history. Now I'm sweetly cradled in wine bed and listening to a recording of the opera I wanted to see...it's okay, actually. Everything is wonderful.

It's fun being somewhat knowledgeable about East Asian food because most people I encounter irl don't know what's actually in East Asian food, and so I constantly get the privilege of teaching them something new. I feel like a beacon of knowledge amongst random grocery stores goers. Take my hand random housewife who has never left the state of Georgia, I will tell you what oyster sauce and napa cabbage is.

I’ve been on a cheese discovery journey I tried Brie and did not fuck with it at all because it had this bitter off milk aftertaste and I realize that all cheese is soured milk but the ones I’m used too usually don’t taste like it. I tried mascarpone by itself I think I’ve only had it in tiramisu before and I liked the texture and the creamy taste but it also has a slightly bitter aftertaste but I think that goes away if you mix it with sugar and a little lemon juice. Next up is ricotta cheese I’ve never tried it by itself but I have had it in ravioli and after my taste test I think I’ll end up using most of it to make a cheesecake or something. Ok that is all, this has been my cheese diary

the amount of effort that goes into figuring out what to cook and eat every day is RIDICULOUS. i used to think people were so weird and boring for eating the same thing every single day but it truly does make life so much easier

I think the worst unnecessarily gendered thing is actually frozen dinners.

You walk into the frozen foods aisle of your grocery store thinking, “Ok, so I need a ready meal that has enough carbs to be filling and satisfying, but also has both a protein and a vegetable serving for nutrition. It doesn’t matter if the protein is meat or vegetable based as long as it’s present. That should be easy enough, right?”

And then your options are like,

“We’ve replaced all the food in this meal with cauliflower rice because we assume you’re on a diet! Sorry, diets are not empowering anymore - we assume you’re ‘making healthy choices for yourself’ with super restrictive clean eating rules. This is what you wanted, right ladies??? The rice is actually cauliflower rice. The ‘meat substitute’ is also cauliflower rice, seasoned and died brown. There are even traces of kale shavings! We’ve labeled the cauliflower rice as ‘organic’ because that’s not a legally defined food advertising term and you can slap it on literally anything! If you don’t hate your body enough to buy this, you must not be being a woman the ~*right*~ way.”

Or

“This is MAN food for hungry MEN. It comes in a black box to show how MANLY it is. No vegetable has ever come near this meal because rabbit food is for girls and this is for MEN! Each box contains three servings of meat and carbs. We want you to be constipated. LIKE A MAN!”

Or P. F. Chang’s.

Not that I begrudge anyone talking shit on non-voters, it's just not the primary thing on my mind at the moment.

Like we can go back and forth on the failures of the democrats or the failures of people not voting for them all day but the fact of the matter is a majority of voters voted for Donald Trump to be president again, and that's sort of where my mind is at right now, moreso than even thinking about Trump being president.

Messiah of Evil (Dead People, 1974)

"Hard to remember back on things... but I - I remember the red moonlight Daddy told me about, only once. Mama gave him a bad look when he talked about it. He was only a boy himself, then. He called it the blood moon. He said that was the night that he lost religion. He learned that men could do... could do horrible things... like animals."

I love the formula between 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 Lone Star and I want there to be a 9-1-1 for at least every state but preferably every single town in the US

Mostly, I want to see what hyper local and very silly disasters they can write to strike my town
