#bc i hate wasting food

[lunapwrites]

today has been weird both in good ways and in not good ways.

but for your daily pro tip: if you eat pasta somewhat regularly and do not always finish all the sauce the first time, just... make yourself a little bowl of leftovers with the remainder and don't leave the jar in the fridge. because the jar goes to jar purgatory and suddenly you have two identical jars in the fridge and you KNOW you just put one in yesterday but the other is weeks old and while your partner knows which is which (because he moved it) neither of you can be sure which one you actually grabbed and you just end up having to throw the spaghetti in the trash because literally why did you not throw out the other jar when you saw it babe. jesus christ.

anyway yeah just save yourself the headache and uh don't do that. or write dates on them. consistently.

thinking of a young adult, freshly moved into his first home, which happens to have an elderly borrower couple living in the walls. the elderly couple is a little noisy and long lost all subtly when borrowing, so the guy discovers them quickly, but doesn’t let them know he’s aware of them. he lets them borrow in peace, and thinks they’re utterly adorable.

until he suddenly has to make sure no spoiled food is in range because they will steal and eat ANYTHING, no matter the expiration date. he has to put railings on the counter because they’re a little unsteady and his heart drops every time one almost has a fall. he has to act oblivious when he hears them bickering at a huge volume because they don’t realize how loud they are. he’s sneakily stealing their old worn supplies like rope or bags and replacing them with new ones that won’t break or hurt them.

and when the tinies do find out he knows about them? oh, little Grandma and Grandpa TAKE ADVANTAGE. they now have a strong young man who will go to the grocery store and get them applesauce whenever they ask. Grandpa is having the guy do heavy lifting and construction work for them. Grandma is sitting on his shoulder and fussing at him for slicing veggies wrong. they nag him to take them to visit their grandkids, they tell him to cut his hair and get a better job, they sneak little trinkets into his hand and run off before he can politely decline.

and he utterly loves it. he loves his tiny grandparents

Okay context for non-UK ppl. Like a year ago there was a new prime minister, and someone bet that a lettuce would take longer to rot than she would last in that job, spoiler alert the lettuce won.

Now let's say the lettuce=moustacheddie, and the prime minister is Buck's current LI. I think it's time to make some bets.

Also should I buy an actual lettuce for this purpose?

Ummm turns out the Trader Joe’s bagels your dad bought in 2022, gave to you when you visited because he accidentally bought gluten free (we were NOT a Trader Joe’s family lol), you stuck in your car when you moved hundreds of miles to another region of the country, put in the freezer there, and haven’t touched since then are NOT still edible. Hope this helps someone ❤️

It's very true that intrusive thoughts are very often violent and traumatizing. But also just so you know this week I've been carrying an almond in my pants pocket because my brain managed to convince me that I will meet my soulmate while having it on me. I actually tried to throw it out today and couldn't. Got really scared that if I do lose it I will never ever find love. So now I guess me and this almond are bonded for life

Okay, friend, what is YOUR daily drink of choice? And if you're feeling down, or want to celebrate, or just need a pick me up, what special do you reach for then?

ooooh! okay i answered a few of them here (complete with recipes bc i cannot help myself) so let me go for something i haven't mentioned yet.

[tl;dr from the linked post: im a fiend for strong black tea with milk and sugar. also it's gotta be piping hot (to the point that i have both a regular and a backup mug warmer at my desk to keep it at temp for hours when i inevitably get distracted from drinking it.)]

okay okay so jumping to special occasion drink, walk with me here: there's this boba/tea shop near my house that makes like. truly god-tier drinks. i'm talking "ruin you for all other offerings" type beat. all of their teas are made with real tea leaves, not powders, their fruit teas/drinks have loads of real fruit in them, all their toppings are made fresh daily, and if you try something new and don't like it they'll make you something else free of charge. i love them.

for all that they are literally five minutes from my house i... do not go as often as i would like, because it is possible i have the slightest touch of agoraphobia. now that i am thinking about it though i am craving it so bad and might try to go soon ≽^•⩊•^≼ ₊˚⊹♡

my beloved brown sugar boba tea:

you have to pay for scones, even if you work close now??? even though it's half price that's actually so stupid, like, there's going to be soooooo much food waste because the owners are too greedy ://

Making a wild au sounds fun until you've got a list of your main characters' traits and important defining moments and have to carefully shift and alter them to fit the circumstances of the au and see how it'd affect them and their behavior in this different environment but suddenly it's 8am and you've not slept

i need to stop making the error of eating after I’ve taken my pills knowing they’re appetite suppressants

oh yeah! no i have tote and ikea bags for shopping, or just a little backpack. but i can never manage to find where grocery stores even sell reusable bags...

a lot of the groceries near me sell their plasticky-papery reusable bags up at the front of the store for people who forgot theirs and need to grab a new one so i usually do have a couple of those. otherwise though i don't mean to shill but i personally really like baggu bags or the like - something that folds up really small but is actually really sturdy and also, more importantly, cute. they're a little pricey (i have a ton bc they sold them on campus where i went to school so i would always use snap up a couple with my end of term left over meal plan money). but even if you buy a pack of off brand ones like that online and then throw eg like one in your backpack one in your purse/fanny pack has been really really helpful for me!!
