Saturday 2 November 2024

The winter hardy Brassica oleracea (Acephala Group) ‘Redbor’ (curly kale, purple kale, borecole) not only provides a vegetable crop but also adds dramatic colour and texture to this ornamental border.

Can Turtles Eat Kale?

Yes, turtles can eat kale. Kale is a nutritious plant-based food that can provide many essential vitamins and minerals to a turtle’s diet. It contains high concentrations of vitamins A, C, potassium, iron, and calcium which are all important for the overall health of turtles. Turtles should be offered small amounts at a time to prevent digestive issues such as bloating or diarrhea. Kale should…

Spencer’s Spicy Salad

Spencer rolled up from underneath the customer’s truck as the clock struck the time for lunch. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, leaving behind a bit of grease and jumped up to his feet. Spencer was a tall young mechanic who had been left in charge of his boss’s shop for the day. A fit man college student with short curly brown hair, strong arms and defined chest he cut an figure even in his simple mechanic’s get up: a tight white shirt and a pair of well worn grey overalls.

He grabbed a rag and wiped off the excess grease off his hands as he popped into the break room, a tiny little alcove with a water cooler and mini-fridge, putting out the salad he had grabbed earlier before work. It was some kind of spicy Mexican salad he had seen on his feed at some local place and had decided to try it out. It was supposed to be really good for the digestive track and a delicious meal for those looking to stay fit.

Spencer propped his leg up and chowed down. It was way spicer than he had thought, the kale in it practically soaked in some creamy dressing that while delicious kept burning his tongue. Spencer kept refilling his water bottle and chugging the whole thing in order to cool off. Still it was delicious. And filling too. Spencer patted his full stomach satisfied as he tossed the bowl and finished up his lunch and went back to working in the truck.

Spencer was finishing tightened the last bolts in place underneath the truck and he felt his stomach flip. Still on the board on his back, he lifted a leg and ripped a hot fat fart.

PPOPPPFFFBBBRT!

Spencer laughed, patting his stomach as some pressure was lessened, and blew out two more farts

PPFFFERRT

BBRRTFFRRRT!

Spencer slid out from underneath the truck and was greeted with the rancid smell of his own ass. “Damn, I reck. But I really needed that!”

“Well I hope you got it all out of your system then,” said Spencer’s boss. Spencer looked up to see his boss, a middle aged man with salt and pepper hair, holding his nose and fanning the air.

“sir!” Spencer flushed, scrambling to his feet. “My bad. Sorry, I thought you said you’d be gone today.”

“I am, I am, just checking in is all. Making sure you haven’t burned down the place.”

“no sir—” PPfffpppertRRT!

Spencer covered his rear as another fart ripped out him. His stomachgurgled and flipped again. His boss increased his fanning. “Geez. Light a match in here and you just might. What did you eat, son?”

Spencer opened his mouth to respond but was waved off.

“Nevermind, is the truck ready, they should be coming to pick it up soon. I want to make sure you got this on your own, eh.” His boss smirk and tapped Spencer in the stomach and Spencer tense feeling his guts bubble and gurgle protest.

“no problem sir,” Spencer said.

“perfect, Ah look here they come now.”

Spencer turned to see a handsome man a few years older than Spencer with a bright smile and two twin teen boys glued to their phones coming in. “Hey, everything ready? We’re looking forward to going camping!” The truck owner said with high optimism. The two boys each rolled their eyes.

“You’re excited Uncle Daniel,” one of the boys groaned.

“Like a dork,” said the other. “You like being alone in the woods cause it doesn’t sound as bad as being alone in the real world.” The twins high-fived, neither looking up from their phones.

The truck owner— Daniel’s smile flattened but he push onward. “You two really don’t let up, huh. Sorry, is the truck ready? Then we’ll get out of your hair.”

“No worries,” Spencer’s boss said, “Spencer here will take care of you.”

“Right!” Spencer said offering a hand to Daniel. “Spencer. Sorry, you already know that. Um, yes, your truck is ready.”

“Wonderful that is great news.” Daniel took Spencer’s hand, giving it a firm handshake as their eyes.

“I really like camping,” Spencer blurted out. Daniel’s lips curled into a smooth grin.

“really? We’ll maybe we—“

“Ew, Uncle Daniel stop flirting with the mechanic dude,” whined one of the teens.

Spencer felt a flush on his cheeks— only for it to be replaced with a far more intense feeling in his stomach. Any butterflies he felt seemed to be carrying megaton warheads, dropping them in his intestines. An ominous gurgle went through him and Spencer clutched his abdomen. The pressure on his guts was intense. Fuuuck… he needed to shit.

“you okay?” Asked Daniel.

“yeah, yeah,” Spencer said hastily. “I just need you sign some paperwork and I’ll go grab your keys. Spencer hurried out of the garage and into the office, a series of small hot farts squeaking out of him as he went. He hurried over to the papers and

PPPPPFFFFBBBFFRRRTPPPBBBBT!!!

Spencer gasped as a massive fart erupted out of him as he bent to grab the clipboard sign the paperwork on it. He held his stomach. Fuck that spicy salad was messing with his guts. His stomach broiled like an Icelandic mud volcano. Spencer clinched his cheeks. Ahhh. Don’t think about mud volcanoes. He looked to the board where they hung the keys and then to down the hall where the bathroom was. He desperately wanted ti make a mad dash to the bathroom and absolutely destroy the toilet. But his boss and that hit uncle were waiting for him. He groaned. Shit. He could hold it for a few minutes. He grabbed the keys and speed walked back the garage. As he step through the door the water cookie gurgled and suddenly the pressure seemed to shift from. His rear, the pressure subsiding on his packed colon, but only to fall squarely onto his bladder. Spencer tensed as he paused in the garage, pressing his legs together as a lake of hot piss sloshed in his bladder, all those bottles of water lapping against the dam inside him. A dam that desperately wanted to burst.

“Spencer, you okay?”

Spencer looked up to see his boss and Daniel both looking at him. He gave them both a nervous smile.

“I-I’m fine.” Spencer said, and straightened. He forced his legs apart and focused on not pissing himself. He could hold it. He could hold it. He could hold it. Spencer repeated the thought in his head as he half walked half shuffle over to Daniel. “Here you go— Ahh!” A leak squirted out of Spencer, dribbles of hot piss splashing into his soft boxers. Spencer bent, his knees pressed together. He held back a whimper as he bounced from foot to foot, his bladder aching. Oh man he didn’t have drunk so much water.

“Are you sure you are okay dude?” Daniel asked.

“He looks like he is doing the pee dance,” snickered one of Daniel’s nephews.

Another leak squirted out of Spencer at the sound of the word ‘pee’. “Ahh!” Spencer cried out as he gave in and wedged his hand between his crotch, desperately holding onto his crotch. Spencer bit his lip and held the truck key’s for Daniel to take, but he was frozen in place.

PPpFfrtt

Spencer gasped as he farted, hot and stenching. His stomach gurgled and he temporarily lost his control on his bladder. Hot piss sprayed out of his cock and into his boxers.

“nNoooOO—Ahh!” Spencer cried out and moaned as he tried and failed to regain control. The dam gates had opened and now the flood came bursting through! Spencer stood frozen as his body let go and he began soaking his boxers, peeing his pants, a dark wet patch blooming at the crotch of his overalls and then spread fast as rivulets of urine ran down his legs and soaked through the fabric. Spencer’s eyes fluttered as he pee, flooding his overalls, sending hot push gushing through the material and over his hand, still desperately gripping his leaking crotch even as Spencer formed a puddle beneath him.

PSsssssSSHH

“oh man! The mechanic is pissing his pants!” Said on the of nephews.

“Dude is soaking them too!” Said the other, holding up his phone to record.

Spencer was helpless as his bladder emptied itself in his boxers and overalls. But that wasn’t the worse part. As his bladder gushed out, his stomach gurgle and shit that had filled him slammed against his rear. His guys bubbled and Spencer knew he wasn’t able to keep control over his bowels.

PPFFFFBBRRT

PPBBBBRFFFFERRTTT

BBBTRRFFF

Spencer bent as he was hit with a series of wet “oh no!” Spencer dropped the keys in Daniel’s hand and turned trying the run back inside, but only made it a few steps before a massive cramp bent him over.

PPPRRRRBFFFF!!!

“Come on, no, no, no,” Spencer said panicking as he fumbled with the clasp on his overalls. If he could at least get out of them, but the clasp was stuck and then it was too late. “No-AaggAAAHHH!”

Spencer moaned as he lost complete control of his bowels, a torrent of hot diarrhea exploding into his already soaked boxers and overalls. It was a volcanic mudslide, thick and soft as it blasted out of him. A massive bugle was instantly forming in his overalls, staining the back as he had the front.

BLLKOOPOOOPPPPFFFT

SPLKTPPPFFFFT

“oh my god!” Spencer’s boss cover his nose as Spencer relentless farted as wave after wave of hot recking shit erupted out of him . The liquid shit overflowed his boxers as he emptied his bowls, diarrhea slide down his legs and splattering against the garage floor. Spencer was helpless as he evacuated the hot muddy brown sewage.

PLSSPPOFFFRRT

PPBBBRRTTPPFFFTSSSTK

Spencer, defeated as another wave hit him, feel to his knees, landing in puddle of his own piss as more diarrhea filled his overalls. The foul stench filled the entirety of the garage, as Spencer could only sit in his disgrace.

“oh man,” snicker one of the twins. “This is going to get a shitload of views!”

Spencer groaned as a final fart marked the end of him shitting and soiling himself. He was never trying spicy salad again

This year gardening has been kind of a disaster, so I haven't been posting any updates (all sad news). I actually haven't been to the garden in more than a week, because I've been foraging chestnuts and it took all of my energy. So I completely ran out of food, and I've been too tired to go get some, so this culminated in me forcing myself to go today, in kind of trepidation because I felt like the garden is almost dead, unsupervised and abandoned, but then I found the most amazing harvest in this entire year.

Here's a picture:

I am so relieved because this is so much food! I got a big bag of chives, multiple zuchinnis, a butternut and a hokkaido squash, okra, for the first time ever I have okra! Little bits of tomatoes (they did so bad this year), curly kale, a full bag of fresh basil (I'm making a pesto immediately), a big container of dried beans and a full plate of peppers!

I also picked up these huge sunflowers because the plant fell over due to the storm yesterday, this way I can have it as cut flowers.

Gardening is just great even when the year isn't great, some things just come trough, even in complete neglect and abandonment, all this was just waiting for me to pick up. Does anyone know any good okra recipes? Now that I got them I have no idea what to do with them, I do love looking at them though, and people asking me 'what is this weird pepper thing'.

Kale salad with baharat-roasted sweet potatoes, mint, and thyme

Roasted chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and golden beets are combined with leafy greens and fresh herbs in this bright, zesty Mediterrannean-inspired salad. A quick massage with salted oil makes the kale tender enough to eat, while the earthy and warming spices in Egyptian baharat lend complexity and aroma to the roast.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients:

For the salad:

3 bunches curly kale, chard, or other leafy green, steps removed (270g without stems; 6 cups when chopped)

1 Tbsp good olive oil

1/2 tsp table salt

Small bunch parsley

Small bunch mint

For roasting:

1/2 cup cooked chickpeas

3 golden beets

1 sweet potato (I used a purple sweet potato)

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp seb'a baharat

1/4 tsp salt

3 sprigs thyme

3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

Dressing:

1 Tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon (1 1/2 Tbsp)

1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Crack of black pepper

1-2 tsp mirin or granulated sugar, to taste

Instructions:

For the vegetables:

1. Prepare the vegetables. Chop the beets and potatoes into small pieces of equal size, and remove the thyme leaves from their stems. Coat beets and potatoes in olive oil, baharat, salt, and thyme, then roast at 400 °F (200 °C) for 5 minutes.

2. Dry cooked chickpeas with a kitchen towel. Add them to the baking tray with the other vegetables and mix well. Roast for another 5 minutes.

3. Add peeled garlic to the baking tray and mix again. Roast for another 5 minutes, or until potatoes and beets are fork-tender.

For the salad:

1. Wash greens well in a colander. Remove stems and save for another purpose (such as pickling or mincing and adding to a soup). Roughly chop leaves and dry in a salad spinner, or by wrapping in a kitchen towel and spinning the towel around quickly.

2. In a large bowl, combine leaves with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Massage the oil and salt into the leaves for a minute or two to soften.

3. Float parsley and mint in a bowl full of cool water to clean. Remove leaves from their stems and dry them with a kitchen towel. Roughly chop them and add them to the bowl with the greens.

For the dressing:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except oil.

2. Slowly add oil while whisking constantly, to emulsify.

To assemble:

1. Add roasted vegetables and dressing to the prepared greens and toss. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar.

Serve immediately, as a side to a quiche or savory tart.

Random question if the characters and Ocs are food what would they be

I had to really think on this one but I think I finally know!

Vox - Cheesecake (funfact; Cheesecake has sour cream in it!)

Alastor - drywall very well seasoned grilled chicken

Charlie - Fruit Tarts

Vaggie - kiwis

Husk - fish and chips with beer batter

Angel - Passion fruit

Sir Pentious - Ribs (oven cooked ones. Not boiled like Adam makes)

Cherri Bomb - Pop rocks

Adam - Tart Apples specifically, but he would lie and say ducks

Lute - Grapes

Emily - Aero Bars (chocolate)

Sera - Coconut

Lucifer - Fried Rice

Lilith - Curly Kale (spicy if you have too much)

Eve - Beef Barley

Lyric - Hawaiian beef

Harmony - Rice pudding

Sahara - Mandarins (she gives orange vibes)

I don't know what the anonymous OCs would be, but here's my take on the characters

Fans of these characters- please tell me if you agree or disagree

[emotionaldashtoons]

Here's my poster of my official version of my version for my DisneyElseWorld's Pixar's...

INSIDE OUT 2!

I saw the new Inside Out 2 trailer, and they made Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy bad by betraying the old emotions. Lots of crazy stuff is about to happen! We don't know what's going on, lots of details are there too. But what would the ElseWorld version be like?

CLOTHING CHANGES!

Fear is now wearing the same vest but it's gray and black with the same stripes on it, Disgust now wears a pink/purple dress (just like the old concepts of her from the 1st movie), and Anger wears a black button on shirt with a red tie with gold marks. Joy and Sadness still stay the same.

NEW EMOTIONS!

For my idea. I have 6 new emotions, one of my OC emotions I've created like, Courage, Surprise, Pride, Trust, Frustration, and Shy.

MAIN VILLAIN

I am using on of my oc villains, Spite, to be the main villain of the AU second movie.

OTHER CHARACTERS

Characters like Nia, the assistant of Spite, she runs the business with him but she tries to avoid him to help others. Bud, Courage's blood cell buddy, he doesn't speak but he's sweet, nervous, cute and got some attitude. And Brain, the big boss of Riley's mind, and the emotions need his help to stop Spite.

What New Places Would the Emotions Go To?

In this AU, far from HQ and Long Term Memory, instead of the back of the mind being empty, there is a huge mind-filled city called Mindtopia, aka, The City of Riley, where everything in the mind has everybody for Riley's Inner Workings in her mind. That also includes Headquarters. And guess what, they're not the only company, there's also banks, council buildings, restaurants, malls, houses, apartments, and everything for Mind Workers after they work at Long Term Memory. And The Mind Councilman, Chairman, is the Mind Prime Minister.

Returning Cast like...

Amy Poehler as Joy, Lewis Black as Anger, Bill Hader as Fear (YES! I'm bringing Bill Hader back! He's so much funnier then I expected), Mindy Kaling (Yeah yeah, I get it, Velma is garbage but her acting as Disgust wasn't) as Disgust, Phyllis Smith as Sadness,

Kensington Tallman as Riley, Diane Lane as Mrs. Andersen, and Kyle MacLachlan as Mr. Andersen.

Andrew Rannells (Trolls Band Together, and Big Mouth) as Trust, Randall Park (the Ant-Man, and Aquaman films, and The Interview) as Pride, Tituss Burgess (Central Park, Angry Birds Movie, and Spellbound) as Shy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, and A Bug's Life) as the sweet and huge, Mother Esteem, Eugene Levy (Finding Dory, and Schitt's Creek) as the mind algorithm boss of Riley Andersen's Mind/City of Riley known as Brain, Nathan Fillion (DCU's Superman, Monsters University, and Cars 3) as the very evil and hilariously charming, but whiny, Spite,

Isla Fisher (Rise of The Guardians, Wedding Crashers, and Scooby-Doo) as Spite's sarcastic female assistant, Nia, Dan Fogler (the Fantastic Beasts films, and The Walking Dead) as Mind Councilman Chairman, Ken Jeong (Transformers: Dark of The Moon, The Hangover, and Extinct) as Yes Man, Alan Tudyk (the Moana, Frozen, Zootopia, and Wreck-it Ralph films) as Mind Gate Guard Jimmy, Peter Sohn (Ratatouille, Monsters University, and The Good Dinosaur) as the emotions new best blood cell companion named Bud, Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill, and Finding Nemo) as Doc Stem,

Yvette Nicole Brown (Disenchanted, and Avengers: Endgame) as Riley's middle school P.E. coach, Mrs. Roberts, Nolan Gould (Modern Family) as Jordan, Haley Tju (Big Hero 6: The Series) as Kelli, Tony Revolori (the Spider-Man films) as Riley's bully, Francis, Josh Peck (Drake & Josh, and Drillbit Taylor) as Francis' curly bully best friend Lars, Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead, and Spider-Man films, and Sky High) as Dale Daley, Rob Huebel (Knuckles, The Other Guys, and Goosebumps) as Geoff James,

Cauliflower - roasted with mustard seeds and Maldon salt

Carrot, Parsnip and Swede mashed with lashings of butter. (Cheating because it's 3 but it's only one item on the plate so la la la la la)
