#for the requisite amount of sugar

[battlecrazed-axe-mage]

have you ever thought about making cake wine? like the boxed cake mix + water and ferment it

is it even possible?

Hmmm...my instinct would be that the sugar content would be way too low without some kind of supplementary sugar being introduced, as well as the floury components creating an environment super conducive to mold growth

However

Frosting, on the other hand,

General Tips for people with EDs

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Water :

We absolutely must drink water to survive, and it has zero calories, so there's no excuse to not drink it. As we typically get much of our water content through foods, when we reduce food intake we begin to dehydrate ourselves, which is dangerous. Also, cold water chills the body and may raise metabolism to get warm again.

Reasons to drink water:

It lubricates the joints

It forms saliva and mucus

If delivers oxygen throughout your entire body

It boosts skin health and beauty

It cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissue

It regulates body temperature

Your digestive system depends on it

It flushes body waste

It maintains your blood pressure

Your airways need it

Prevents kidney damage

Weight loss

Finally, it reduces the chance of a hungover

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Vitamins and Minerals:

We must have these, too, to survive and so again there is no excuse to not take at least a basic daily multivitamin (which may help reduce some cravings as well). Vitamins are vital in keeping our bodies functioning and our skin / hair / teeth nice. Particularly be aware of electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, salt, along with water balance) and calcium.

Reasons to take to help with weightloss....

Vitamin C: it has been proven that people with low vitamin C status tend to burn less fat when exercising

Vitamin B12: Faster metabolism

Omega 3: Increases fat breakdown, decreases muscle inflammation, large amounts are usually taken by big time athletes

Ashwagandha: Increases muscle mass which results in a faster metabolism, improves sleeping patterns(Lack of sleep = High blood sugar = weight gain)

Vitamin B2: Helps your body break down fats, carbs, and proteins

Fenugreek: it’s an herb that works as an appetite supressant, just be careful with it and do research

Vitamin D: Helps with hairloss, dry skin, and depression

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Protein:

Protein is necessary, particularly if you're exercising. It maintains and repairs our muscles, including heart muscle, which is (last I heard) kind of a requisite for continued survival.

Reduces appetite and hunger levels

Increases muscle mass and strength

Good for your bones

Reduces cravings and late night binging

Boosts metabolism and increases fat burning

Lowers blood pressure

Helps maintain weight loss

Helps your body repair itself after injury

Helps you stay fit as you age

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Fat Intake:

Fat has, per gram, more calories than any other source of energy and is stored more easily. Switch to low fat everything, then progress to nonfat. Nonfat food tends to taste like crap (in my opinion) and you may end up eating less because of that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Caffeine:

While caffeine can be an appetite suppressant and can increase your metabolism, it will also act as a diuretic. Drink a glass of water for each cup of tea, coffee, or diet soda you have. Again, dehydration is a potentially serious problem.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Tips:

Always read labels to avoid nasty surprises. This happens to me all the time and makes for some panicky stress-moments. Also, look up food charts and be aware of the caloric / nutritional content of everything you eat.

Understand yourself. Learn what you need, and when, and why. Everyone is unique and there are no hard-and-fast universally applicable laws. Our bodies are very good at telling us what we need, and knowing what you need gives control over how you choose to satisfy those needs.

Find your binge triggers, be they food or places or people or feelings. Avoid them at all costs. Figure out more acceptable ways of dealing with those triggers than stuffing yourself silly.

Learn when you tend to eat and why you eat then in particular. Plan to be doing something unrelated to food at those times. Many of us find night to be the hardest time to avoid food.

Get plenty of sleep. Steal naps whenever you can and rest when you need to rest. Sleep deprivation increases appetite and makes you age faster.

🙄……

Yesterday I had some bloodwork drawn. I’ve had the requisition for ages and just never found time to go to the lab. I hadn’t had time to go in a review it when one of the clinic doctors called for an appointment I had set up for med refills, and the following conversation ensued….

Him - have you looked at your books work or reviewed with your regular doctor?

Me - I haven’t had a chance

Him - well the good news is that your cholesterol and blood sugars are down substantially so you must be doing something right but I have to ask, are you tired allot?

Me - yep, I could sleep for hours every day and have zero energy.

Him - I’m betting you have coke hands and feet, dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches…are you taking any supplements?

Me - B12, magnesium and vitamin D.

Him - that explains why the numbers look like they do. The B12 would be helping somewhat. You might want to add an iron supplement to that because your iron level is very low.

Me - sitting here stunned smacking my head going “that explains why I feel so shitty all the time” 🤦🏼‍♀️.

My levels were low normal last year when I had blood work done but I increased the amount of dark leafy greens I ate and figured I’d be fine. Apparently that was not enough so off to the health food store I go to find a good supplement. One more thing to add to the ever growing list of issues my body thinks it would be fun to deal with 😞.

Day 23: Low-FODMAP Pizza

Because of my experience using other gluten-free Bob's Red Mill products -- the pie crust specifically -- I managed to avoid some pitfalls of working with gluten-free dough. To wit: gluten-free dough does not cohere like regular wheat flour-based dough, so you can't knead and toss the pizza dough like you would normally.

Low-FODMAP Pizza

For the crust:

1 package Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Pizza Crust Mix (both flour mix and yeast packet)

1 1/2 c warm water

2 eggs

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp sugar

brown rice flour

For the topping:

1 5 oz can tomato paste

1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 c (or more) sliced black olives

1 red bell pepper, chopped

2/3 of a 14 oz can of artichoke hearts, chopped

1 c (or so) ripped up spinach leaves

1 1/2 c shredded mozzarella

1/2 c shredded Parmesan

Preheat oven to 425F

Assemble the dough according to the Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust package directions, adding a little bit of sugar to get the yeast to bloom properly. After the requisite rising period, turn the dough ball out onto either a silicon mat or very big parchment paper. Sprinkle with rice flour and roll out into a oval big enough to fit into a rimmed baking pan. Set the whole mess into a rimmed pan.

In a bowl, mix together the tomato paste and the herbs, with a tbsp or two of olive oil. Spread out onto the pizza dough with a spatula. Layer olives, peppers, artichoke hearts, and spinach on the dough with sauce. Cover with mozzarella and Parmesan. (Here is where you decide how much or little of any given ingredient you use. This is just what I did.)

Slide the pan into the oven. Bake for about a half hour, rotating the pan once, until the cheese is melty and brown on the edges.

The Bob's Red Mill instructions suggest using plastic wrap to roll out the dough, but that's nonsense. If you don't have a silicon mat, for sure use parchment paper instead: in addition to not being full of microplastics, you can put the whole thing in the oven without trying to transfer the dough, a maneuver which can go seriously wrong.

The ersatz pizza sauce was a little tomato-y, and I'd be curious to try it with brushed olive oil and sliced Roma tomatoes instead, but it was fine. I used a fuck off amount of cheese (for sure more than I specify in the recipe) which compensated for the crust being a little dry and not quiet doughy enough. The crust could probably be improved by brushing it with olive oil right out of the oven.

Also, both the tomato paste and the artichokes are only low FODMAP if you don't eat tons of them, but are probably fine in the quantities found in a couple slices. In other words, don't eat the whole pizza in one sitting. Which probably goes without saying, but. Obv you can try various other toppings which adhere to a low-FODMAP diet; this is just what I like on pizza.

So! The pizza wasn't half bad, and I'd try it again for sure. Even the fam who had normal pepperoni pizza on normal wheat flour crust declared it just fine, though my husband talked some shit about my topping choices. Completely serviceable.

Also, hey! Here's a vegetarian low-FODMAP recipe, which I managed to do by accident after saying I would try to do it on purpose.

ETA: You know the adage that soup and casserole is always better the second day? Well that is 100% not the case here. If anything, drier than it was the night of, and when heated up, paradoxically soggy somehow. I ended up giving most of the leftovers to the chickens, who have no taste. I would definitely try herbs-and-oil and sliced tomato instead of the tomato paste. That, or I just sourced a tomato sauce that is just tomato -- the brand is Pomi -- which could be tarted up with herbs and spices. I'm feeling much less into it than the night I made this.

Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

Not a Booty Call

Fandom: 911 Lone Star

Characters: T.K. Strand, Carlos Reyes

Rating: G

Summary: T.K. runs into Carlos at the hospital and finds he can't stay away.

A/N: This takes place in the very early days of Tarlos, definitely pre-darts date. I'm not sure exactly when it is, but since LS likes to play fast and loose with the timeline, I feel like I can too.

Read on AO3

“I think I’m going to grab a coffee. You want anything?” Andrews asks.

T.K. signs yet another form and looks up. “Yeah, coffee would be great. Cream, no sugar. Thanks.”

Andrews nods. “I’ll be back in like ten minutes.”

When a nasty bout of the flu had begun running through the 126 paramedics earlier in the week, their numbers had quickly fallen and they were desperate for extra hands. So T.K. had traded in his helmet for temporary status as a B Shift EMT, and he had to admit, it didn’t feel bad to be flexing his paramedic muscles again. Andrews is a good captain, and even working without a third, things are going well today. 

He finishes filling out their requisition forms and double checks that he’s grabbed the right amount of everything before handing it over to the charge nurse. 

He’s heading back to the rig when he passes a closed curtain and hears someone say, “All right Officer Reyes, do you want some more ice while you’re waiting?”

His heart skips half a beat, but he quickly dismisses it. This is Texas. There have to be a least six or seven Officer Reyes’ in the police department, right? 

Then a response comes, quiet and unintelligible over the noise of the ER, but the voice is unmistakable nonetheless, immediately conjuring up an image of dark eyes, wild curls, and a smile that makes T.K.’s insides do a somersault.

The curtain is pulled aside and a nurse steps out, closing it up behind her before T.K. can see who’s on the other side. He wavers, hovering uncertainly. It’s not his business. It’s really not his business. T.K. chews on his lip as he weighs his choices, and then reaches for the curtain and slips inside. 

He was right, it is Carlos, and he’s sitting on a gurney, his uniform shirt folded neatly beside him. His lip is split and bleeding, there’s a shadow forming underneath his right eye, and he’s holding an ice pack to his ribs, which are also turning purple with bruising. He looks like hell.

He looks at T.K. in surprise. “Hey.”

“Hey,” T.K. says back, eyes still taking in all the damage to Carlos’ body. “What happened to you?”

“Bar fight,” Carlos says. 

T.K. reaches for the iPad the nurse left on the edge of the gurney and begins scrolling through Carlos’ chart. It’s a complete invasion of privacy, but he’s already come this far and he needs to know what’s going on. “You should have called me.”

The words slip out before he thinks about them, and he belatedly realizes that it’s a really odd thing to say to someone you’re routinely booty calling at two am.

Carlos gives him a funny look. “Aren’t you a firefighter?”

“I’m a dual certified firefigher/paramedic. We’re short handed this week so I’m filling in.”

“Oh.”

Despite their late night activities, T.K. doesn’t actually know Carlos that well, but he can tell he’s in pain. His breathing is shallow, his brow is pinched, and he’s typically a little more well spoken than he’s being right now. All of this has T.K. concerned. The normal amount. The amount he’d have for any human being. Not just one who looks at him like he’s hung the moon in the sky every time they’re together. 

“Your x-rays look okay,” he says, still searching through the iPad. “No breaks or fractures.”

“Yeah that’s what the doctor said,” Carlos tells him, wincing as he shifts and tries to get more comfortable. “Knowing that doesn’t make my ribs feel less broken.”

T.K.’s heart twinges in sympathy as he sets the iPad down. “Did they give you anything?”

Carlos shakes his head. “I don’t need it.”

T.K. scoffs. “If they’re offering you painkillers, you need painkillers.”

He pushes the call button for the nurse and then reaches for a tissue, dabbing it against Carlos’ lip. “So what does the other guy look like?”

“Big,” Carlos says. “With boulders for hands.”

T.K. chuckles and dabs the tissue against Carlos’ lip again, careful not to put too much pressure. “Is he in here too?”

Carlos gives a slight shake of his head. “They took him to the station. He was built like a tank. Took three other officers to pull him off me.”

It’s a terrifying image and T.K. tries not to think about how much worse it could have been if those officers hadn’t come to Carlos’ rescue. And he definitely doesn’t think about how he would feel if Carlos were seriously hurt. 

His radio crackles, a call coming through for an elderly person with a fever. Andrews will be heading back to pick him up. 

T.K. feels more torn than he should. He has no reason to stay here with Carlos, but he also doesn’t want to leave. “Do you have someone coming to be with you?” he asks. 

“I’m fine,” Carlos says. “This is just another day at work. You better get going.”

T.K. takes one more look at him. For such a confident, strong guy, he looks really small sitting here under the harsh hospital lights. “Take the medication,” T.K. advises. “You might not want it now, but you probably will tomorrow.”

“Yeah,” Carlos says. “Thanks.”

T.K. steps back out and the last image he sees before he sweeps the curtain closed again is of Carlos, head bowed, looking completely alone.

                                                            XXX

He and Andrews finish out the shift strong and Andrews tells him he can sub in anytime. T.K. finds that he might. It was a fun day. 

He stops by his dad’s office and says hello; paramedic shifts run differently than firefighter shifts, so they won’t be seeing each other for a while. It also means he’s going to have the house to himself for a bit, and he’s looking forward to some alone time. 

But as he drives, his mind wanders back to the hospital, to Carlos sitting alone behind that curtain. The way he’d answered the question about someone coming to be with him made it sound like he wasn’t planning on sharing about his injuries. Which doesn’t sit well with T.K. There’s always the chance that the x-rays and tests missed something. It’s not a good idea for Carlos to be alone. 

Before he realizes what he’s doing he’s in front of Carlos’ condo, walking to the door and ringing the bell. He can see a light on inside and after a minute he hears movement. 

When the door opens Carlos is wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants. The bruise under his eye has darkened and he’s standing awkwardly, like it hurts to be upright. He looks tired. And confused. “Hey,” he says. “Did we—did I forget—?”

“No,” T.K. says quickly. “No we didn’t have anything planned for tonight.”

“Oh, okay,” Carlos’ shoulders relax a little bit. “So then…is this…? I’m not really up for…anything tonight.”

T.K. is an idiot. He should have texted before coming over. Or called. Something other than just showing up on Carlos’ doorstep out of nowhere. Of course Carlos thinks this is a spontaneous hookup. “No I’m not here to—I just wanted to make sure you were all right.”

He can feel his cheeks growing heated and he’s about to open his mouth and try to awkwardly make a hasty exit, but Carlos pulls the door wide. “Do you want to come in?”

T.K. steps into the living room and immediately notices a bag of frozen peas on the couch and a bottle of prescription medication on the coffee table, along with a number of pillows that clearly indicate Carlos is having trouble getting comfortable. T.K. feels a stab of sympathy, bruised ribs are no joke.

“So…how are you?” he asks after Carlos closes the door.

“I’m fine,” Carlos tells him. “Still in one piece.” He nods toward the prescription bottle. “I took your advice.”

“Good call,” T.K. says. “Have you eaten? You shouldn’t take those on an empty stomach.”

“I had some leftovers,” Carlos says. 

T.K. nods and they lapse into a weird silence. Carlos eases himself back down onto the couch, pressing the peas to his ribs. He says he’s fine, but the wince he gives as he sits and the slow way in which he’s moving indicate otherwise. 

“Do you have anybody coming by to check on you?” T.K. asks. 

He’s quickly realizing he doesn’t know a thing about Carlos outside of the fact that he’s extremely sexy and so damn good in bed it makes T.K.’s head spin.

“Michelle came by a little while ago. Apparently overprotectiveness is a common paramedic trait,” Carlos says, flashing him a smile.

Wow. WOW. T.K. is…beyond stupid. He’d completely forgotten that Carlos is tight with their A Shift captain. He forces out a laugh. “Sorry, I guess you didn’t really need me to come by after all.”

“No, I’m glad you did,” Carlos says, and he seems sincere. “It was really nice of you. I appreciate it.”

T.K. still feels embarrassed. But at least he can sleep tonight knowing that Carlos is okay. “I should probably get going and let you get some rest.”

“You can stay,” Carlos says immediately. “We can watch TV or something?”

T.K. has already crossed more than one personal line tonight, and he feels himself rapidly pulling back to a safe distance. He let himself get caught up in the heat of the moment, but he and Carlos aren’t a thing. They’re just each other’s really excellent hookup. This is not a sit on the couch and watch TV together relationship. He’s been clear about that from the start, and he doesn’t plan on it changing anytime soon.

He shakes his head. “I need to get home. I’ll text you.”

Carlos starts to get up but T.K. waves him off. “I can let myself out. Hope you feel better.”

He’s out the door before Carlos can say anything else, making sure it locks behind him as he goes. He hasn’t done anything wrong, he reminds himself as he strides quickly toward the car. He was just checking on an injured person. It’s basically part of his job. It doesn’t meant anything, because he doesn’t want it to mean anything.

And if he checks with Michelle in the morning to see if she’s heard from Carlos, that won’t mean anything either.

When Life Gives You Sour Cherries, 1: Cherry Jam

The summer harvest is in full swing here in Southern New England. It was the very day that I pulled out my books on canning and preserving that my partner surprised me with two quarts of sour cherries that he harvested off of a friend's trees.

I haven't done a lot of work with cherries in the past. A number of years ago, I bought some from a farmer's market and attempted to make my own Maraschino cherries (in infusion in Maraschino liquor) but it turns out that I am of the opinion that Maraschino liquor tastes remarkably like cough syrup and the cherries were less than desirable. They tasted better than the liquor itself but weren't better than the expensive "real" Maraschino cherries that you can buy at specialty stores (better than the corn syrup ones you can source at your average grocer, though).

That said, I've been very into jam-making this year. This spring I made jam from both forsythia and violet and last month my bestie and I made strawberry jam the old-fashioned way (sans pectin). Since I was momentarily feeling sugared out and didn't want dessert - I decided that jam was a great way of preserving the sour cherries.

Jam making is deceptively easy - it's really just fruit, sugar, and sometimes some pectin. If you want to can your concoctions (which I highly recommend - there's nothing better than getting to open a can of summer goodness in the dead of winter) - you need to do slightly more work and have extra supplies (cans, fresh lids, etc.) but well-made jam will keep in the fridge or freezer for a number of months.

The main work of the cherry processing was having to pit and then cut up the cherries. I'm honestly not sure, given the size of the sour cherries, why the recipe called for chopping them further, but I followed through since I like to follow recipes exactly if I am not familiar with the process. Pitting sour cherries is actually pretty easy - if they are ripe, you can simply squeeze the pits out and into a separate container. It's so easy that I did it with one hand while drinking a mango lassi out of the other.

From there, you need to follow your recipe for making jam. I'm not going to give an exact recipe since the method depends on the type of pectin that you have available to you. This is more important than many recipe blogs on the internet let on - YOU NEED TO MATCH YOUR RECIPE TO THE PECTIN THAT YOU ARE USING (or use an alternate source for pectic such as green apples if they are available to you).

In season, I will use apples to pectinate my jams and jellies but since I can't find organic apples at this time of the year (and with my endo, it's very important that I avoid pesticides as much as possible), I tend to go with high-quality pectin that I can buy at stores. Note: not all jam/jellies require pectin - I love making jam that does not but will add pectin when necessary for setting.

That said, following the recipe on this pectin label, it called for a lot of pectin which it definitely didn't need. Now I know, next year I'll halve the amount. And there definitely will be a next year now that I know that my friends have wild sour cherry trees! (Wild now, they must have been planted at some point)

So my "jam" is about the consistency of homemade cranberry sauce - it actually tastes remarkably similar as well due to the sourness of the cherries. Though set beyond my preference, it is very, very tasty.

And we had some cherries left over after I processed them and added in the requisite 4 cups called for in my jam recipe! (More to come next week on what I did with the rest of my cherries.)

A Newspaper Run-In

Much thanks to @drinkyoursoupbitch for the prompt here

This is decidedly more than a paragraph

11 September 1995, early

Leicester 

Ellie pov

I limped into my flat after a weekend spent between the observatory and computer lab. I tossed both Saturday and Sunday's Prophets near the corner I designed my potions corner, and shuffled through the Muggle post that had accumulated over Friday and Saturday, along with whatever owl post that had arrived Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A tightly rolled scroll stood out, addressed from Percy Weasley, catching my attention. I picked it up, before a clattering of wings and claws caught my attention from the kitchen. It was the Prophet owl, and I pushed the requisite amount into the leather pouch, before taking the paper, and it fluttered off back to London. 

I left it on the counter as I made myself some tea. I had a feeling that I wouldn't be getting much sleep, even if tonight would be busy. The kettle whistled, and I blearily poured, adding the needed sugar and honey after it steeped. I blew, before taking in a mouthful, and…

Promptly spitting it out in shock, as I unfurled the paper and revealed an unpleasantly familiar face giving a nasty looking simpering smile in the picture splashed across the front of the now tea stained paper, as I coughed and unsteadily set my mug down on the counter, a small bit sloshing out. 

My eyes flicked to the bold headline:

MINISTRY SEEKS EDUCATIONAL REFORM

Followed with the subheading:

Dolores Umbridge appointed first-ever “High Inquisitor”.

“WHAT!?” I half shouted, forgetting the absurdly early hour, tossing the tea covered newspaper on the floor, the now-cringing photo of Umbridge landing facedown on the not-as-clean-as-it-could-be linoleum. I stumbled over to my table, sitting down shakily and trying not to be sick.

Umbridge had been bad enough, the times I’d had to interact with her in 7th year at the Ministry, but the fact she was now the DADA professor at Hogwarts certainly didn't help. 

Had Dumbledore lost his mind?

My hand twitched to my mobile before remembering, 1. The twins weren't at Hogwarts anymore, 2. they were spending time in Hogsmeade, and 3. It was going on 06.00, and neither were up yet. 

Never mind that their mobiles didn't work up there.

I will admit this isn’t my preferred AU -- I won’t immediately jump on a fic just because it’s pre-serum Steve and WS Bucky. I gotta like the plot, or the premise, or be really, really intrigued by the tags, but to be fair, that’s how I am with everything that isn’t Modern Bucky and Cap Steve, so. That being said, I have read some truly fantastic shrinkyclinks stories, and I do very much love Steven “Fight Me” Rogers at his scrappiest. And these fics also tend to feature protective!Bucky which is another personal favorite of mine. Oh, but also: shrinkyclinks generally refers to pre-serum Steve with actual Winter Soldier Bucky, but a lot of people use the tag just to imply body types, and when they say WS Bucky they mean he’s all huge and muscled and sometimes has a metal arm, though that isn’t required. That’s the definition I’m going with as well, so hopefully nothing’s confusing!

1. If Wishing Made It So by leveragehunters. Before I get into anything about the actual fic, let me say this: leveragehunters is probably my favorite stucky writer. Like, hands-down, I read almost everything they write, and they’re big into fantasy stories, which is a great bonus for me personally. So, so, so many good shrinkyclinks fics by them (Even Underneath the Waves, a mermaid AU that features equal amounts of pre- and post-serum Steve, and A-mage-ing Grace with mage Steve are two of my other favorites, and they would’ve been on the list, but I try not to put more than one story per author, ya know? And IWMIS kinda wins out above the others for me, so). This story features jinn!Bucky who finds himself in the baffled hands of Steve Rogers, who is perfectly prickly and stubborn and good. Bucky’s got a terrible past with humans in general (and Hydra in particular, what a shocker) that he and Steve have to overcome as their relationship progresses, but that progression is frankly beautiful to watch unfold. I come back to this story time and time again because of how much I love these versions of Steve and Bucky getting to know one another, learning to trust each other, supporting each other through the worst the world has to throw at them. Plus, there’s a few more stories in this series if you get as hooked as I am, which is always great!!

2. Roots Have Grown by AustinB. I remember reading this and just... completely feeling what Bucky is going through. Not everything -- he’s an agoraphobic veteran, and I can’t relate to either of those, really, but he’s so... awkward about his crush on Steve. And that’s -- that’s relatable to me. But it’s precious, really, how he tries to help Steve even though he’s afraid to actually meet him initially; he becomes Steve’s sort of... anonymous benefactor? Guardian angel with money? Like, it’s definitely a sugar daddy type deal originally but I doubt Bucky would describe it like that. I don’t know, it’s cute, though, and I loved seeing Bucky opening up to Steve as they became closer. 

3. Through The Woods by VenusMonstrosa, alby_mangroves. Okay, hear me out: werewolves. I fucking love werewolves in fiction; I mean, not really the romance novels you’ll see in the grocery store, but. Werewolf mythology is one of my favorite things, so seeing it in fanfiction almost always manages to lure me in. And I was so not disappointed with this story! Steve’s living alone in a cabin in the woods, which of course sounds like the opening to a horror movie, but here it leads to love. Werewolf Bucky is both charming and terrifying, to a degree, he’s a wolf, but he and Steve are fantastic together. This is another story that goes in on the trust aspect of their relationship and I for one am a big fan of that. There’s some violence, minor character death and the like, but it’s definitely not undeserved so. If you can handle that (and the sex, because there is sex in this) then I highly recommend this one!

4. The Joy of Little Things by obsessivereader, Sealcat. And so we move from werewolves to dragons. Yup. Dragons. Another of my beloved mythical creatures that I obsessed over when I was kid. Bucky’s capable of shifting into a human in this, but primarily he’s a big ol’ dragon that surprisingly doesn’t want to eat the scrawny sacrifice from the local village. Steve ends up working for Bucky, instead, and from there hilarity ensues. Steve’s obviously wary of Bucky, but Bucky isn’t at all what he’d been expecting, and they grow closer the longer Steve’s staying in Bucky’s caves. There are a couple of stories with Dragon!Bucky, but this is my personal favorite; it’s cute and heart-warming and, well. I just really like it. 

5. I Just Want to Love You in My Own Language by agetwellcard, inediblesushi. So this one has Cap!Bucky (Bucky!Cap?) but again, sometimes it’s more about how Bucky looks rather than his role as the Winter Soldier. Anyway, I remember my biggest take away from this story was how adorable Bucky was in his quest to win the affections of sassy Nurse Steve, who patches him up after missions and is probably playing hard to get. Bucky uses terrible pick-up lines, absolutely awful, and he is completely unashamed of that fact. Which is, as I said, adorable. Steve, initially, does not agree with my assessment, but he gets there eventually. After some requisite drama, of course.

6. Tint & Shade by forestofbabel. Oh, god, this one hurt me, I remember that pretty clearly. Bucky is the Winter Soldier in this, and Steve is a 21st century art therapist who just so happens to resemble his late grandfather, Captain Joseph Rogers, who fought in -- you guessed it -- WWII. Like I said in the intro, if I really like the premise of something I’ll usually read it regardless of the configuration of pre-/post-serum Steve and pre-serum/WS Bucky, and this was definitely one of the fics I got into for that reason. Having actual WS Bucky interact with a modern pre-serum Steve is always interesting, given how much they don’t have in common, generally (there isn’t even really the veteran status that modern Bucky sometimes has in fics), and it’s a journey to see how and why they connect. Having Steve resemble his WWII era grandfather caught my attention, and the fic itself made me grateful that I decided to go for it in the first place. This is another one where is trust is key to their relationship, considering the mental/emotional state Bucky is in at the beginning. Very good story overall!

7. Fourth Floor by dirtybinary, mithborien, picoalloe. So dirtybinary has written some amazing stucky fics, which is why I was so excited when I saw this being posted initially (a few years ago, but still). There’s magic! Mystery! Suspense! Some NatSharon! Looking this over, I’m wondering if I should’ve saved it for the Urban Fantasy list I wanna do (and If Wishing Made It So, if I’m being honest) but I do like it for the shrinkyclinks list. The writing is great, the characterization of Steve and Bucky is great, and like, they live in what is essentially a magical apartment complex, so what’s better than that? 

8. my heart tells me you are lonely, too by FanGirling. Alright, so I read this one as it was being published, and the slow burn about killed me. You know, in a good way, though. Bucky lives in Steve and his mother’s apartment building, trying to figure out where to go with his life now that he’s broken free of Hydra and gotten his autonomy back. He’s obviously wary, skittish, but he takes a liking to Sarah Rogers when she reaches out to befriend him, surprised anyone wants to be near him let alone take the time to get to know him. Steve... is not so easily sold on Bucky. And I’m not gonna spoil anything here, but the shit these two go through is intense, and I cried a lot during this fic, sometimes out of frustration because they’re both ridiculous about their feelings (of course Bucky’s fears are valid, the man has been through literal hell, but also I was internally screaming a little as Bucky continually talked himself out of getting closer to Steve.) I wanted to wrap the both of them in about thirty blankets for pretty much the entire length of the fic. God. They’re just -- they’re so incredibly sweet in this one, once they work past their issues (Bucky and Steve are both more than a little messed up from their respective circumstances, but they make it work). Mind the tags on this one, also, especially because there is a chapter that deals with attempted sexual assault against Steve (obviously not with Bucky!), but Bucky handles the situation before anything truly nasty happens, that I can promise. 

9. Local Raccoon Befriends Angry Chihuahua by charlesdk. This is yet another author I really love; they have a fantastic farmer!Steve/Modern!WS!Bucky story that I love to bits, as well as other great fics. But anyway, this one. The title sold me the second I saw it, honestly, I can’t even pretend that wasn’t the deciding factor in me reading this. I don’t think I can really do any better than the summary in explaining why I recommend it; feisty tiny Steve and lovestruck grumpy Bucky are a winning combination in my book. This one does feature the boys dealing with homophobia and ableism, though I can’t recall how severe it is. So I’d just mind the tags, and if you’re alright with them, thoroughly enjoy this story. 

10. The Road to Hell is Paved with Tony’s Good Intentions by pinlilli. Bucky as a mail-order Russian bride. That’s the detail that pretty much demanded I click on this fic, and oh my god, it was even better than I ever could’ve expected. Tony, in a bid to help Steve get over his awful ex-boyfriend (fuck Brock Rumlow in every universe, honestly), literally orders him a husband -- in the form of beefy James Barnes, who is a fucking gem and I will not hear one bad word against him. He does chores, it’s lovely and adorable, and you will definitely fall just as hard as Steve does. There’s some canon-typical violence in this one that relates to James’ past, but nothing super graphic as far as I remember. Again, Rumlow is a dick and should be treated as such, but he’s hardly the most important part of this fic and I urge everyone to take a look at it if they’re as intrigued by Bucky being a mail-order husband as I was.

Day 7: Adventures in Pie

There are a number of categories of food that don't work well with a low-FODMAP diet. One is salad dressing: I spent like a half hour in the grocery store trying to find literally any dressing that would work, but they either had garlic or dairy in them, and that was that. (I have plans to make a blue cheese dressing out of some stuff, but store bought is right out.)

The other category is desserts. I looked at some vegan recipes, but the problem is wheat flour, not eggs. While I was in the tragic gluten-free section of the grocery store, I found a package of Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Pie Crust Mix, and figured what the hell.

Now, I'm a pie maker, which is a hard won skill. Pie crust is difficult, and I've shed the requisite number of tears over pie-making failures to claim the family status of pie maker. Reading over the recipe, the first problem was that the pie crust mix called for a combo of butter and shortening (which is the best way to make crust, tbh.)

Butter is not allowed on a low-FODMAP diet, so I had to go with either shortening, margarine, or lard. I hate margarine and I couldn't find any lard, so shortening it is. (I was disappointed, because lard is kind of perfect for fruit pies: it had a slight saltiness which balances the sweetness, plus it's flaky as heck.)

Long story not as long, the whole process ended up being more messy than I'm used to, and it was touch and go there for a minute whether I would just swipe the whole mess into the trash and flounce. I'm glad I didn't, given the results.

Emotional Roller Coaster Raspberry-Rhubarb Pie

The crust:

1 package Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Pie Crust Mix

16 tbsp butter flavored shortening

6-7 tbsp cold water

The filling:

3-4 c diced rhubarb

12 oz raspberries

1 c white sugar

3 tbsp instant tapioca

1 tsp almond extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground cloves

extra cinnamon and vanilla sugar

Preheat oven to 425F

Start with a pound to a pound and a half of rhubarb. Split the rhubarb stalk in half, and in half again if they are very thick. Dice fine and put into a bowl. Pour in sugar and instant tapioca, stir, and then set aside. (The sugar will draw out the moisture in the rhubarb, so you should end up with a decent amount of liquid on the bottom of the bowl.)

Cut the shortening into the pie crust mix and then add water, forming the dough into two dough balls, one slightly bigger than the other. Put both dough balls in a small bowl, cover with a wet cloth, and put into the fridge to chill for a half hour.

Stir up the rhubarb, and add raspberries, almond extract, and spices.

Take the crust out of the fridge. Here I attempted to roll out the dough, but that went to shit quickly: whatever flour this is using does not cohere. So take the bigger of the two dough balls and press into a deep dish pie pan so the dough is evenly distributed up to the edge of the pan. (You might be able to make rolling it out work if you use a silicon mat and turn it out onto the pan, but that wasn't going to happen here.)

Scoop the raspberry-rhubarb mix into pan with a slotted spoon, and pour a couple tbsp of the liquid left in the bowl onto the fruit. (The rhubarb I was using was very wet, and I didn't want it to get soggy. Drier rhubarb wouldn't need this.)

Crumble the second dough ball over the top of the fruit evenly, so it looks like streusel. Sprinkle with cinnamon and vanilla sugar.

Place pie pan on rimmed pan and bake for 20 minutes at 425F. Reduce heat to 350F and bake for another 40 minutes. (If not brown enough, turn up heat again to 425F and bake for another 10 minutes.)

I had a seriously dark moment of the soul when the stupid pie crust wouldn't roll out, I'll tell you that for free. The crumble topping was an act of desperation, but it actually turned out just fine. The crust was flaky and legitimately tasted good, and cohered significantly better than I expected, given how impossible it was to roll out.

I usually put grated lemon zest into this kind of fruit pie, but I forgot I was so twitterpated about the stupid crust. It's more a nice to have than a need though, and the filling was very good without it.

So. This ended up being a win, but with some emotional ups and down to get there. I'd do it again.

Usual disclaimer: I am not a dietician. I am trying to stick to my court-ordered low-FODMAP diet, but I can be mistaken or misguided about the FODMAP content of any given food.

Receding Gum Pain Remedies

You may not know about it, however having receding gums is a major motive for missing out on grinning good naturedly at your dentist. In case the look of one's teeth is so that you can only grin derisively or simply allow it to move, you then want some form of dental care to help out with preventing that unsightly illness.

During the period once the first dental instruments were generated and used, the time scale of manufacture was very short - approximately ten yearsago As a result, the teeth were formed together with the help of only 1 group of minerals: fluoride which was a by-product of their water processing of their moment. There is not any way in which one's teeth could gain from the inclusion of minerals since these were too feeble to withstand the processing of fluorine into sodium fluoride that was employed to create toothpastes and dental substances.

Using fluorine and acid in the form of hydrofluoric acid at exactly the same software as that of toothpastes resulted in the formation of plaque which caused significant damage to your teeth and eventually the wellness of the individual.

good omens book recs

the past few days ive been combing through the entire good omens tv tag for a definitive reading list [griffin mcelroy rose buddies voice] for MY friends? but in the meantime ive gone back through my old bookmarks and put together a rec list of Old Fandom fic, that is to say, book canon stuff. so. have a list of some legends.

Manchester Lost by Moczo on ff.net (2009) -an ensemble sequel to the novel- Our heroes have managed to make things worse, as the Apocalypse is starting up... again. Drama! Action! Humor! Adventure! Tea! Suspense! Snark! Romance!

maybe the most well-known Sequel Fic. can get a little bogged down in the Random Humour style of the time, but honestly, it’s fun, it’s sweet, the plot is good, and it’ll get you unexpectedly emotional, between all the jokes.

Be Ye Therefore Merciful by amberdiceless on livejournal (2005) crowley is hit with a blessed bullet in a warzone. this is the story of the lengths aziraphale goes to, to keep him alive. 

The Sacred and the Profane by afrai on an independent site (2002) a somewhat role-swap, where crowley (caphriel) never fell, but aziraphale (zirah) did. as the summary says on tv tropes: “It's the kind of fic you read through once for the great writing, then vow to never read again after being left a broken, sobbing heap at the end. As awesome as the twists and reinterpretations are, it's definitely not a fic for easy reading.” honestly im just putting this on here for posterity, as i dont actually recommend reading it hjksahjg.

The Walls, the Wainscot, and the Mouse by irisbleufic on livejournal (2010) (some nsfw) from the original prompt: Aziraphale and Crowley move into that cottage together in the South Downs. Cue people treating them like a couple, fawning over their pet-names for each other, and generally believing them to be life-partners. Eventually, they just decide that, really, they've technically been dating for six thousand years and might as well give it a go.

Rise by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel on ff.net (2010) Most things didn't truly bother Crowley. Demons trying to dismember his angel wasn't one of those things. 

A Spark of Goodness by Viking Eggplant on ff.net (2011) "I know the story goes that a fallen angel is beyond My Grace, and up until this point that has been quite true, but up until this point, no fallen angel has ever shown any desire to be saved."

two takes on the crowley redemption trope! they’re fairly similar just due to How It Be, but different enough that both are worth reading, if ur into that sweet snarky shit.

Ordinary People by daegaer on livejournal (2003)

THE human au fic. ezra wants to fix up his shop, anthony is a painter and handyman. it’s sweet, it’s heartwarming, it’s a neat take on who they’d be as everyday humans, and honestly? they’re both overtly jewish in this fic and that earns a big thumbs up even without everything else being so good.

Potter Omens by sadaf on AO3 (2013) His heart had dropped into his stomach when he had received his invitation letter. A lovely, rounded yellow slip of paper, with neatly-quilled emerald writing, addressed ever so politely to a “Dear Mr. Crowley,” stating that “We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...”

THE hogwarts au. complete human fic, with AC meeting as first years, and following their tumultuous hogwarts career. it’s a pretty unimaginative title for an AMAZING fic, one that packs a huge amount of plot and emotion into a lot of words.

Regulars by irisbleufic on AO3 (2010) Today, Sunday, there's a sense of rightness and quiet. Outside, he hears birdsong that reminds him of home. Rashid drops sugar cubes in each tiny glass bowl—refined white for Lapsang Souchong, demerara for Earl Grey—and readies the tea tray for delivery.

outsider POVs on aziraphale and crowley’s everyday lives

Water Wings by Ripper on ff.net (2002) So, just how are a Not-Really-Crawly-More-Like-Slithery demon and an Angel with balsa wood strapped to his wings supposed to survive forty days and nights of flooding, outswim the wrath of a vengeful God and still find time for a drink?

Falling Rain by ariastar on livejournal (2003) Back in the days before the Arrangement, there was a terribly big flood. There was also a stowaway demon and an angel who hitched a ride on the Ark. Complete with rain, Babylonian wine, and requisite slashiness.

two noah’s ark fics to finish up! first in the ‘before’ period, the second more of a ‘during’ fic, both fun little takes on AC when they’re still not quite sure what to make of each other.

[avira-lavellan]

On a scale of “is occasionally forced to bathe” to “Instagram model with sponsors to hoe for” how involved is your OC’s Skincare routine? Probably a 4. She likes to stay as clean as she can and makes a point of packing soaps and cosmetics, but she isn’t some Orlesian noble sitting around behind an ornate mirror primping half the morning. Though it is fun to pretend if she finds herself in the proper context.

What are your OC’s food preferences (flavors/textures/spiciness/calories/ when and how they eat) and how did they get that way? Avira is a fairly picky, yet never wasteful, eater. In the Alienage, one couldn’t afford not to eat a food just because the taste wasn’t your favorite, so she learned to eat pretty much anything and take the pleasure out of eating when she had to. Because meats were expensive, they had to make them last, so much of the meat Avira grew up on was salt-cured or smoked. Ever since getting food poisoning from some game she cooked, she has an aversion to even slightly undercooked meat. She loves adding spices to her food and often carries around things like cumin, cloves, rosemary, and thyme to give otherwise bland meals on the road some life. She likes the taste of mildly sweet foods, such as fruit or honey, But since sugar was a luxury few could afford back home and uncommon among the dalish, she grew up without it, and finds artificially sugary confections to be sickeningly sweet.

What’s something pointless/petty/unimportant that IRRATIONALLY ANNOYS THE HELL out of your OC? Listen, m’girl is petty about a lot of things, but here are the more irrational ones: loud chewers, manspreaders, people who lick their fingers when turning pages, people not having an innate sense of the correct amount of personal space/conversational volume for the situation, handshakes that are either limp or crush your hand, and nagging requisition officers.

How Do Rotary Screw Air Compressors Operate?

The commonest kind of compressors utilized in industrial settings are the rotary screw air compressors. There are lots of bizarre concepts surrounding these rotary screw compressors. Most of these ideas should do with chilly climate and winterization. Easy maintenance can clear up most of the issues and failures that associate with winter weather.

Many people assume that as a result of their compressor is inside a heated building, it is not going to be affected by exterior air temperatures. This isn't true, as a result of the oil coolers are often vented to the skin of the building. Oil that's trapped Subzero Scientific in a cooler that is exposed to cold air can turn into thick and will not flow into. Some rotary screw air compressors have thermal or bypass valves in the oil cooling system. This helps defend the compressor parts throughout startup in chilly climate.

The valve should be checked often to make sure that it is operating correctly. Synthetic oil could be a good assist as a result of it's going to flow into simpler at low temperatures. Nevertheless, the actual problem is water build up within the oil sump as a result of the water will not boil off and evaporate when the compressor is working underneath one hundred forty levels F. Issues caused by the water buildup may be prevented by sometimes draining a small quantity of oil during chilly climate earlier than starting the compressor up.

Cold weather sometimes causes condensation to buildup within the air lines of the rotary screw air compressors. This could trigger sensors to ship the incorrect signals to the screw compressors pc management systems. This will cause the compressor to run with a full load until someone notices the constant lifting of the stress reduction valves. Condensation is removed by way of drains which might be placed strategically within the air system.

These discharge lines are usually taken to a drain point outside of the constructing. During cold climate, these strains can change into clogged with ice, forcing condensation back into the air system. If not correctly drained earlier than the compressor is shut down, this may damage among the compressor elements and costly components.

It is common for companies to take their rotary screw air compressors out of service through the winter months. This is good provided Here is Wikipedia that the correct steps are taken to winterize the screw compressors. This consists of oil and filter modifications.

Used oil generates an acid that may damage the bearings within the motor and the compressor elements. Manually rotating the motors and keeping the rotors oiled are additionally https://www.subzeroscientific.com/ necessary to avoid seizing at startup. Correct maintenance of the screw compressors is vital to keep away from expensive service calls and to reduce downtime.

As more states transfer to legalize marijuana for medicinal functions, dispensaries are becoming increasingly prevalent to fulfill demand. Because the business of growing marijuana for medical use grows, critical consideration should be given to methods of enhancing crop yield, automation, and lowering the price of growing. Probably the most preventable causes of lost revenue in a hydroponic dispensary is a kind of fungus referred to as powdery mildew.

Powdery mildew is a very common fungus, and is well known to many farmers and gardeners. It poses a selected drawback to growers of marijuana, nonetheless. The fungus thrives in an environment marked by excessive humidity and mid vary temperatures. Unfortunately, this makes marijuana plants extremely inclined to powdery mildew, as these are also the conditions beneath which cannabis grows best. Vegetation which might be contaminated with powdery mildew will start to display white patches that will finally unfold to cover the plant if not handled. Because the fungus continues to breed, the mildew will finally cowl the plant, killing it within the course of.

Evidently, a fungus of this variety can cause a great deal of harm in terms of the crop yield and profitability of a medical dispensary. Sure types of business fungicide exist that may kill of the mold earlier than it progresses too far. Sadly, these chemical compounds could only be applied during certain phases of the life cycle of marijuana vegetation with Check Blog here out negatively affecting their well being. In the conducive atmosphere that a hydroponic dispensary gives, one plant that becomes infected with powdery mildew will shortly allow it to unfold to others, rising the general business expense of making use of those fungicides. In both event, the bottom line revenue is cut into by the presence of this fungus.

One possibility for medical marijuana dispensaries that wish to avoid problems with mildew is the set up of commercial grade air purification techniques. Massive capacity air purifiers that employ one in every of more carbon filters can remove mould and mildew spores from the air before they have a chance to develop on crops, decreasing the likelihood of an an infection spreading to the crop. This additionally creates a more healthful work atmosphere for dispensary workers, who might otherwise be uncovered to the mould spores. Many industrial air purifiers are also geared up with ultraviolet lights, which might neutralize mold spores within the air and additional forestall mildew infestations.

As in all branches of agriculture, the marijuana rising enterprise will possible move towards better sophistication and productiveness as time goes on. In many other crop crops, selective hybridization and special preventative chemical substances have largely been capable of get rid of crop losses on account of mildew. Nonetheless, hydroponic dispensaries face their own unique set of issues, as they create superb rising conditions for powdery mildew. Till further advances allow vegetation to be developed that are extra proof against this fungus, profit loss due to mildew in medical marijuana dispensaries can be a actuality of the business, and one which producers must be mindful of.

Colorado is one of the states in the US which have legalized the use of medical marijuana. Countless researches have confirmed the useful effects of marijuana within the treatment of power grave diseases such as cancer, brain tumors, muscle sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and HIV/AIDS. The drug is proven to decrease intraocular stress thus can cbd extraction machine be utilized as an adjuvant within the treatment for glaucoma; gastrointestinal as well as respiratory diseases. The drug is standard as a psychoactive agent having a stimulant and hallucinogenic impact. Nonetheless, this drug causes bodily and psychological dependence and causes a life-threatening effect once taken in very giant amounts.

Marijuana for its use in the medical area is legalized inside 14 states which includes Colorado. Because of the wonders that the drug brings, an increasing number of individuals resort to its use. Because of its excessive potential for abuse, the use, allotting, and growth of marijuana is strictly prohibited and anyone who's confirmed to have finished such will probably be punished in accordance to the court of law. Whereas it is illegal for pharmacies to dispense the drug, medical marijuana dispensary Colorado together with the requisite documents to legalize its distribution of the drug, is turning into increasingly fashionable among medically in poor health purchasers.

Medical marijuana dispensary Colorado is a large opportunity for business. To have the ability to open such firm, one must bear several procedures and processing license or a registration. A great dispensary should be familiar with the rules as acknowledged by the federal legislation and should be capable of observe it with integrity. There are several sources online that gives courses that are equipped with the required information about written prescriptions and documentation for the usage of medical marijuana, medical marijuana treatment identification playing cards, patient evaluation, and naturally a full data in regards to the federal laws.

Ethanol biomass might be outlined as plant supplies or vegetation that's used for making gas or sustaining vitality. Extra particularly it is a organic source that has been extracted from a living matter. Ethanol has derived its renewable power from plants resembling corn, switchgrasses, hemp, willow and sugar cane in addition to other vegetation that produces or include sugars. Most flora both accommodates sugar or has some component within it that may be converted to sugar. This sugar is required to provide ethanol which is finished via fermentation, distillation and dehydration. Fossil fuels do not fall into this category. They are not polar solvents as is ethanol, instead they are hydrocarbons.

Breaking down cellulose from sure flora reminiscent of corn is a difficult process. Cellulose is made up of a unit of strands that include sugars and these sugars need to be extracted with the intention to produce the sugars needed to make ethanol. The method used is a mixture of heat with stress and sure primary acidic circumstances. A chemical is used to interrupt down one of the chains of glucose and attaches Social Network to the free finish of the chain and works its way by means of the chain breaking down units of sugar (glucose). The final step is to interrupt down the chain into two molecules and ferment it into ethanol. This is a very expensive solution to get to ethanol. Scientists have proposed a method of biologically engineering a bacterium that might break down the fabric wanted to make ethanol biomass.

Ethanol biomass is a controversial topic particularly within the strategy of biologically engineered micro organism and the concern of it escaping into the environment. However, there was appreciable controversy in the usage of ethanol within the United States. Controversy just isn't at all times a deterrent to transferring forward whether it's industrially or scientifically. We see controversy as nothing more than opinions and we'd like opinions as a way to better our views, change our system of doing one thing and most of all as a method to move ahead, to advance.
