#plum vs chip

[quitealotofsodapop]

In the Wukongverse, who are the bigger Disney fans??

(asking since I've been on a metal Disney kick)

Smokey would rock Poor Unfortunate Souls by Jonathan Young but would get so into it he needs his Macaque cuddles afterwards to right his head (self demon issues, he is a hero but he also tricked people in the past and is on his journey to change and be good)

While Cherry on the other hand would hands down have fun singing Peyton Parrish's version of I'll make a man out of you since he just started his journey and his pilgrim brothers could use the advice.

The LMK Wukongs love themselves some animation goodness! Mostly to chill after a rough day. Wrap up in a blanket, stick on a film he's seen a million times, Eat some peach chips; he's a happy monkey.

LMK Macaques get distracted by the animation!! Cus? "Peaches look! They're using layered paintings to simulate movement!!" Their faves are Fantasia ( Original and 2000) naturally cus of the high animation quality set to classical music. Dawn/Peach walk in one day and find their Dusk/Plum on the ground crying while watching the cut Dali "Destino" segment.

MK's fave is "Treasure Planet". Try not to ask why or he will change the subject and switch on "Princess and the Frog".

Dasheng doesn't really care, but he watches them anyway cus Liuer and the rest of the kids really like them. He's embarassed to admit that he can sing every line of "Beauty and the Beast" perfectly. Also good date night movies - Zhanshi's fave are the fairytale romances. <3

Smokey don't care about the cartoons, but he does get down to the villain songs. Blasting "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and "Hellfire" so hard that his LEM has to step in to calm him down. Liang is more interested in the technical side of the works, but he just beams with joy whenever the babies chirp/bark excitedly at that opening logo. Shared fave is "The Little Mermaid" naturally (though Sandy argues that it's not an accurate depiction of sea fish demons).

Ace and Joker pretend that they don't care, but you know these goobers take the kids and grandkids to Disneyland whenever they have the excuse. Lots of the classics (since they just got made in their universe) and shared infodumping. Ace will send the other SWK's classic Donald Ducks and Goofy cartoons in the group chat without context.

Cherry and Olive are equally super excited cus "Moving paintings!! Heck yeah!". Cherry's faves are the og animated "Mulan" and "Lilo and Stitch" without question. The latter caught him by surprise cus it made him remember who he's always felt like "a weird little alien" on earth, and Lilo and Nani remind him of Lin. ;_; Olive is just delighted to watch anything Cherry is super-hyped about, and they both hoot happily at the tv together.

Shihou and Mihou are kids and they love cartoons no question. Shihou likes the Milt Kahl-era ones like "Sword in the Stone" and "The Jungle Book" cus he vibes with the themes of growing up, but he finds the romantic ones boring. Mihou in contrast secretly adores the classic "princess" movies like "Sleeping Beauty" and "Cinderella" cus of the sweet stories and music. Shihou will watch Mihou's "boring" films with him without complaint cus he knows how much his opal love them.

Sugar likes the "roadtrip" movies the most; "Atlantis", "Treasure Planet" etc. He's still technically on his Journey, and he loves hearing/seeing tales of others. Spice is pretty shy to voice his opinions but... he likes "Pinocchio" the best - the concept of being created and having to adapt to the world mostly-made tickles his brain in a good way.

Starfruit don't care. Why should he? He knows the real guys! He sees Peter Pan on the regular in the Library! Lilac is the complete opposite, they hold streaming parties with associated Legends to watch their "adaptations" and critique them based on accuracy vs execution. Starfruit joins in, only because he, Goldie, and Peter get to read the movies to filth in the group chat XD

Two movies that hold a place in all their hearts are:

Hercules: Themes of obtaining godhood, heroism, an unclear purpose, goth gf, and weird horses.

Moana: Island life, wanting to explore farther, doing what you can for your people, the inherit tragedy of demi-gods, the whole Te Kā situation...

[ge]

ouugh... old, jaded tang bo who has locked himself up into his own corner of the family home. children of the tang family grew up with warnings to not go anywhere near his dwelling

this tang bo he saw how his family did nothing to help while his hyung-nim's sect was burnt down, how their sacrifice was rewritten and discarded by the ten great sects. in the position he was in, i actually think he would have gone mad with anger.... only when chung myung came back does he start going out again but he still treats everyone else coldly

(along with his smoking habit, he's also picked up another: constantly polishing that red plum blossom hair pin of his. its tips are chipped and the paint has faded. however, considering how old it was, it's a testament to its owner's reverent care that it can still serve its purpose)

(chung myung buys him a new one, but tang bo only does the same thing to the second)

UR SOO NUTS SAYING THIS TO MEEEEEE i literally think about this all thee fucking time ohh my days theres such a stark difference between a man mentally reincarnated just moments after his death, thrust into a new world with no time to adjust or settle vs a man who survived his death and had to live every single one of those long aching days alone and weary and aging and never finding a way to move on.. a man who lost everything and nothing, forming new bad habits to break the old, lighting incense for new tablets he can hardly stand to look at, locking himself away and becoming his families most revered recluse…

the worst part of tang bo survives the war au is that, like chung myung, he never expected for anyone to suddenly return from the dead for him (reincarnation is not real of course), except if he did, once, entertain the idea when he was still young and mourning and grieving and in the throes of denial, that desperate spark would have thoroughly been squashed as the days turned to months turned to years turned to decades turned to centuries and nobody came for him

DON'T BINGE: 

Take a moment and talk to God about it (even if you’re not a believer, it doesn’t hurt to try!)

Watch mukbang about the food that you are craving

Watch supersize vs superskinny (its on YouTube)

Look in the mirror and remind yourself why you are doing this in the first place

Read a book

Do your homework

Do chores

Smell at the food that you are craving

Write down your feelings and cravings (trust me it helps sm)

Drink A LOT of water. Drink until you feel like you’re about to explode

Clean your room! Get rid of all those water bottles and dishes.

Clean out your closet, decide what clothes you don’t wear and donate them to your local thrift store!

Go on a shopping spree! (Don’t spend all your money though!)

Organize your Pinterest boards

Compare yourself to th!nsp0

Weigh yourself

Listen to music

Drink calming tea

Catch up with a friend!

Talk to your pet about your feelings

Sleep the cravings out

Take a long walk

Take a cold shower

Watch a movie you haven’t seen before

Take care of your nails!

Look up how to do something you have always wanted to learn (make-up, macramé, origami, sign language, …)

This might sound weird but I love sudokus and they always get me focused enough to stop thinking about bingeing

Make a to-do list for the rest of the week

Listen to a podcast

Have a self-care day (take an everything-shower, put on a face mask, take care of your hair and body)

Make an essay about any topic you like

Start writing a book

Re-decorate your room

Make a New Year’s resolution list! Who do you want to be at the end of 2024?

^ or make a vision board !!!

Call a friend or family member

Read the newspaper (lowkey more interesting than I expected it to be)

If you’re frustrated about it, scream into a pillow

Scroll on insta or tiktok

Built a Lego set

Pick some flowers!

Practice deep breathing

Try yoga if you haven’t before!

If you are still standing in your kitchen, girl get out rn

Ask yourself if you are physically hungry, the answer is most likely no

Keep a food diary

Munch on a low cal snack instead, take veerryyyy slow bites

Thing I do but definitely don’t recommend:

Binge and purge (if you purge make sure you brush your teeth abt 30mins after)

Sm0ke or v@pe (depends if i’m able to go outside or not)

Sh (please, pleaaaase don’t do this)

I’m so guilty to do this to my family and the people who think I’m in a true recovery. But if I don’t Im scared of what might happen, I’m scared I’ll kill myself or even worse. I just really want to lose weight and feel like myself again

On day one I did mess up by having meat early on but we have to go through meat products before I can buy vegetarian substitutes plus we don’t have eggs rn. 

so you think you're "stuck" here again? you're not actually stuck, you're just not trying hard enough. you can lower your intake, walk more, exercise harder, fast for longer. the only thing stopping you from losing weight is you. why haven't you changed that? do something.

It’s only been two hours and you are already eating again. You are gonna be huge forever.

if you're looking at some food and doubting yourself if you should eat it or not, the answer is no 

I doubt that eating makes you as happy as stepping on the scale and seeing that you lost weight

You aren’t hungry, you’re just bored.

Excuses to not eat:

My tummy hurts from gallbladder

I took my pills in the morning and got sick

Sky kept me busy all day

Shared breakfast and lunch with sky

Thought I ate, forgot. *Go to get a snack and come back with a drink or small treat*

Spend time cooking for others

Talk about how you ate different things for breakfast

Smaller chest

Sharper jawline

Less curvy thighs

Square hips

Dainty hands

Collarbones

Slutty waist

Sharp shoulders

To float in my clothes

To look hot in emo clothes

Deeper set eyes

Visible spine

✨️Hipbones✨️

To save money (less food eaten, less food to buy)

Mesh tops

Muscles easier to see

People telling me I'm so small

Boyfriends being able to pick me up like it's nothing

some tips on food fixation and binging urges:

hellooo, ive been thinking about compiling some things that have helped me get my mind off of food and overall just writing down some rant -- so here it is!

keep in mind, im not an expert and this is mostly just me babbling. im writing this as a motivation for myself, and it will probably not work for everyone, but if you find any of this stuff helpful -- my pleasure!

★ mindfulness ★

`` first of all -- ive found that that strong-urge-to-binge thing is more of a state, not a feeling. it helps me to treat it as such: a mental state, a spiral, and to come out of that spiral you can:

◌ stop!

◌ breath in, breath out. ground yourself. have that thought of "wait, what am i doing?" in the space between you and the fridge

◌ check in with your body. what position are you in? does something hurt? are you cold? are you tired? overenergized?

◌ check in with your mind. is there any buzz? are you overwhelmed?

◌ if you located the issue (eg. im tired! i want comfort! so food = comfort!) -- great! move on from there to resolving this issue in a more mindful, not-involving-food way (then i should nap, do yoga, just lie on the floor, watch comfort movie)

why are we doing that? in my opinon, its very important to train that "what am i doing" moment of conciousness, because through that you can see better why you want to binge. is it a mental thing? how can you cope without food? is it a physical feeling? an effect of restriction? how can you tweak your eating to make it better (imo, fasting does better job at managing binges than plain restriction)

you cant just showe thinspo at your face everytime you crave something, after all : )

★ activities ★

`` make something with your hands! ohh my god! i cant stress it enough, it can help you to not get fixated on thinking about food so much! it can be something easy like drawing, or you can look up something new for yourself

`` go on a walk. i know, it can be very tiring to even think about, but t does wonders at distracting you

`` yoga. very simple and very effective. or, alternatively

`` do nothing at all for a bit. just. lie down, turn off your phone, no sound, no nothing (helps if your binging urge feels overwhelming)

`` if you havent already, try drinking coffee. it really is called an appetite supressant for a reason

`` i wasnt the one who told you that, but you can look up some gross stuff involving food.. f*eeding k*ink usually freaks me out on multiple levels for long enough to forget about food

`` test yourself and allow yourself to feel bored. put down your phone. watch a really long flm. boredom is a part of our lives, and if you teach yourself to feel it in such small portions without binging youll be so so proud of yourself

Thinspos i have^

Ms Plum (@sandtastesgreater) vs. James (@snowflakeb0ttles)

449. Ms Plum (@sandtastesgreater)

She/Her

She used to work as a Great Mage for a while before she retired.

If she is caught doing something illegal, she will try to flirt her way out of the situation, it never works.

She likes to bake food.

450. James (@snowflakeb0ttles)

he/him but tbh he does not care

he is a silly little beast!! his mom is god (swag), he has a catgirl gamer girlfriend (swag), and has a best friend who has hands for hair (swag). all of his teeth are chipped/missing entirely, he has a human nose, only one eyebrow, and absolutely zero braincells. he is pretty much always happy + excited but gets hit with very brief moments of existential dread and likes to be philosophical :^)

[bellshazes]

hi peter! re; no ideas but in things. are there "no things" bc of the war on semantics or is this something else? And How do you feel about dialectical materialism?

-Much love, Andy

(P.S. volunteering at the historical society is going great)

it's borne out of the war on semantics but also mostly its a dumb extremist position I've taken upon myself to champion on Friday evenings when a friend wants to be real mean with the platonic ideal, a concept I find philosophically repulsive. my more day to day take is that things exist but because of the limitations of human experience we can't know things directly, only by the negative space created by the thousand silver threads of every Thing juxtaposed against and connected to every other Thing (thing here being a person, object, concept, thought, being, &c for ever).

no ideas but in things is the punchy axiom of the imagist poets as coined by my boyyyyyyyyyyy William Carlos Williams of the dumbest plum poem or whatever that sucks. his pre-patterson nonfamous stuff rules tho. & I have a chip currently on my shoulder abt wanting to engage fanwise w the thing that is there vs, idk, seeing myself reflected in it or playing dolls (a more common & normal reason I think to do fandom stuff). I want to think there is a thread btwn engaging with the text in a sort of viscera-y deconstructivist way + a highly imagistic approach. something something gonzo truth telling I haven't nailed it down yet

I am SO GLAD the volunteering is going well!!!!!!! I remain rooting for you. Unfortunately if you can believe it I have never studied any kind of dialectics and never formally studied marx........ I think at a glance I prefer materialist dialectics to hegelian but that's just skimming summaries. everything I know of dialectics is via Paulo Freire and WV Quine which is an odd couple but there you go

Fall Nails: Embrace the Season with Style

Autumn is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to update your nail game. Fall nails are all about cozy colors, creative designs, and seasonal vibes that reflect the crispness of the season. Whether you're a fan of bold hues or subtle tones, this guide will inspire your next manicure makeover.

1. Why Fall Nails Are the Ultimate Seasonal Statement

Fall nails go beyond mere aesthetics; they’re a celebration of the season. From burnt oranges to deep burgundies, the shades reflect the warm tones of autumn leaves. But it’s not just about the colors—fall nails capture the cozy, layered feel of the season in a single glance.

When you flaunt a fresh set of fall-inspired nails, you’re making a statement. It’s a way to embrace the season without needing to overhaul your entire wardrobe. Plus, they’re conversation starters, especially with intricate designs like pumpkins, leaves, or even cozy sweater patterns.

2. Top Fall Colors to Fall In Love With

Earthy Elegance

Earthy tones are a staple for fall nails. Think olive green, warm taupe, and chocolate brown. These shades exude sophistication and pair beautifully with autumn wardrobes. For a trendy twist, mix matte and glossy finishes for a unique texture.

Bold and Moody

Deep, moody hues like plum, navy blue, and oxblood red add drama to your nails. These colors stand out while complementing fall’s darker aesthetic. Pair them with gold accents or minimalistic nail art to create a high-impact yet elegant look.

3. Trendy Fall Nail Art Designs to Try

Cozy Sweater Patterns

What’s fall without cozy sweaters? Replicate this texture on your nails with embossed designs. These look especially chic in pastel or neutral shades. Pair the pattern with glitter accents for a subtle touch of glamour.

Leafy Inspirations

Capture the beauty of falling leaves on your nails. Use stencils or freehand techniques to create intricate leaf designs in shades of orange, yellow, and red. Adding a gradient background can elevate the look to new heights.

4. Tips for Achieving Long-Lasting Fall Nails

Prepping Like a Pro

The key to perfect fall nails lies in the preparation. Start by cleaning and filing your nails. Apply a quality base coat to ensure smooth application and reduce chipping. This extra step will keep your fall nails looking flawless for weeks.

Choosing the Right Products

Invest in high-quality polishes and top coats. For fall, opt for polishes with creamy textures or gel finishes for a long-lasting shine. If you’re adding intricate designs, a quick-dry top coat can seal the art without smudging.

5. DIY vs. Salon: The Best Route for Fall Nails

The Joy of DIY

If you’re feeling creative, DIY fall nails can be incredibly satisfying. With online tutorials, stencils, and affordable tools, creating seasonal nail art at home has never been easier. Plus, it’s a fun way to spend a cozy autumn afternoon.

The Magic of Professionals

For intricate designs or long-lasting gel applications, visiting a salon might be your best bet. Professional nail artists have the expertise and tools to bring even the most elaborate fall nail ideas to life. Treat yourself—it’s fall, after all!

Conclusion

Fall nails are more than just a seasonal trend; they’re a celebration of autumn’s beauty. With a mix of earthy tones, bold hues, and intricate designs, your nails can become the ultimate accessory. Whether you go DIY or leave it to the pros, embracing fall nails is the perfect way to add a touch of autumn to your style.

Chips Made of Plumwood vs. Almond Wood Chips: When to Use Them

Smoke barbeque cooks know that the choice of wood chips makes a big difference when it comes to imparting unique flavors to smoked barbeque foods.

The idea is to support the taste of the meat as well as making it tender and succulent to eat. Therefore, different wood chips are listed by their smoking intensity. Both chips made of plumwood and almond wood chips are more sophisticated choices as they support versus overtake the flavors of smoked meats or vegetables.

For example, woods like beech or hickory are stronger. So, you need to use them when a smoking or barbequing session is longer. They are more aggressive woods, so milder wood choices, like plum or almond, can be used for shorter sessions at a smoker or grill.

Chips Made of Plum Wood and Almond Wood Two popular choices are smoking chips made of plum wood and almond wood pellets, each of which provide their own distinct characteristics.

Let’s explore the main differences between the popular smoking chips and see when it’s best to use each product.

The Aromatic Magic of Plum Wood Chips Plum wood chips come from the fruit-bearing plum tree. Therefore, they add a subtle yet distinct fruity aroma to smoked meat and vegetables.

The lighter smoky flavor of plum is better suited to lighter meats that are cooked or smoked for a shorter time. The milder wood chips work well with meats like fish, poultry, or chicken or with vegetables like asparagus, corn, and bell peppers as they don’t overwhelm the foods’ natural flavors. You can also use the chips to smoke fruits and cheeses.

Plum wood chips are generally not recommended for heavier cuts of meat in the form of beef or lamb, as the meat might overpower the smoke’s milder aroma and flavor.

However, if you’re looking to experiment with different flavor profiles, you might find that subtly offsetting richer flavors with a lighter smoke like plum is worth trying out.

Almond Wood Chips: The Nutty Smoked Meat Alternative Almond wood smoke chips are harvested from almond trees and provide a slightly nutty yet more intense smoked flavor than plum. The warmer and medium-smoke wood chips makes them a preferred choice for meats with stronger and richer flavors, especially beef, pork, and lamb.

The chips’ nutty essence enhances the natural richness of these meats while adding depth and complexity to the total flavor profile.

While almond wood is versatile enough to be used with most types of meat, it may not be the best match for some seafood dishes or vegetables as its flavor is more distinct. That’s when you’ll need to reach for your plum wood chips when grilling or smoking outside.

When It’s Better to Use Each Product: Some Useful Tips Below are some quick tips to help you determine when it’s best to use pellets or chips made of plum wood or when you should reach for a bag of almond wood pellets instead.

Delicate meat flavors and seafoods –  Choose plum wood chips when smoking poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, or cheeses to subtly enhance their natural flavors.. Richer and larger cuts of meats – Select almond wood chips when grilling or smoking beef or lamb, as these meats work well with almond and its delectable nutty aroma.. Experimentation – Every palate is unique, so part of the challenge of smoking is discovering new wood chip combinations. For example, you might mix plum wood and almond wood pellets for supporting meat dishes that feature  turkey, beef, and larger cuts of pork. Vegetable Preparation – You can use both plum and almond wood chips when you grill vegetables like asparagus and bell peppers. Halve and stuff the bell peppers with beef for a truly wonderful dish. Sweet potatoes are best paired with almond wood chips. When grilling, cut the potatoes in wedges or slices, smoking them until they are tender.

You can use both plum and almond wood chips when you grill vegetables like asparagus and bell peppers. Halve and stuff the bell peppers with beef for a truly wonderful delectable entree.

One Key Point to Keep in Mind The key thing to remember is that you want your wood chips to enhance the flavor of a meat or food – not to overpower it. What is great about both plum and almond woods is that they enhance foods rather than take over the flavor.

Final Thoughts Both plum and almond wood smoking chips have their distinct qualities  but are better used in certain applications. Plum wood provides a more subtle sweet taste while almond enhances the smoke with a nutty aroma and essence.

What are those?👀 And would you teach us? Ok no that's too much maybe, point us in the right direction to resources to learn how to make … Forgot the word of bottling things uuighhhh

Canning is the term you are looking for. :)

In this cabinet we have:

Jams & Jellies

grape jam (grapes from my backyard)

plum jam (neighbor's tree)

fig jam (other neighbor's tree)

lemon jelly

kiwi jam

blackberry jam

low-sugar blackberry jam

strawberry jam

Pickles

pickled beets

dill pickles

Dinners

chicken, veggies & gravy

"pot roast in a jar" (beef & veggies)

chicken curry

french onion soup

chili

Savory

salsa

Singapore chili sauce

basalmic caramelized onion

As far as "can I teach you," there are a lot of good resources online, and I can recommend a few books. I cannot stress enough that canning is not hard, but that you must follow the instructions very carefully. Botulism is no joke.

Do:

Read the entire process several times.

Have everything ready before you start.

Start with water bath canning.

Make sure that you are using the right method of canning (water bath vs. pressure canning) for the food type. Water bath canning is only for acidic foods (ph below 4.6).

Use recipes only from vetted, known sources. This is not a time to use random website recipes. Reputable. Sources. Only.

Use only name-brand jars and lids. Seriously, don't fuck around. Ball/Mason, Kerr. That's it. (I only use Ball jars because that's what my mom and grandmother used.)

Use a very long-handled spoon to stir jam, or wear grill gloves. I have scars from jam splashes. :) We ended up buying a wooden paddle usually used for stirring crab boils or gumbo.

Check your jars every time to make sure the rims are not chipped and the jars are not cracked.

Be careful looking up videos, or just skip looking up anything on YouTube. You may fall into white supremacist YouTube via the prepper route real fucking fast. Also, you may find people who tell you that you can safely use an Instant Pot as a pressure canner or reuse lids or whatever and YOU CANNOT DO THOSE THINGS.

Make sure any vinegar you use is 5% vinegar. Some companies are putting out 4% vinegar and that is not acidic enough.

Use your bubble popper to make sure there are no bubbles hiding along the sides of your jar. Bubbles add to your head space, and can cause spoilage or seal failure.

Get yourself a set of reusable jar lids for after the jars are open and in your fridge. Much less annoying than the 2-piece lids once stuff is open.

Accumulate stuff slowly. You can start out with a stock pot and a hand towel and some jars.

Buy your jars and lids (and as much stuff as you can) at your local hardware store. It's cheaper than Amazon, and also your local store.

Use white or apple cider vinegar when called for by the recipe. Other vinegars may not be acidic enough. (Rice vinegar isn't.)

Use bottled lemon juice when called for by the recipe. Fresh lemon juice may or may not be acidic enough. Bottled will be consistent.

Don't:

Substitute ingredients unless the recipe says you can.

Ever ever ever put dairy or any kind of flour or powdered starch (tapioca starch, etc.) in things you're canning.

Use an Instant Pot for canning. No, it does NOT get up to sufficient pressure. I don't care what that YouTube video says.

Use broth concentrate or bouillon if a recipe calls for broth. (They pretty much always have vegetable starches in them.) Unless you're using homemade broth from a recipe in your canning book, just buy the boxed stuff. Yes, you're mostly paying for water, but seriously, safety.

Try to use your grill gloves or hot pad to pick up jars out of the water. Always use a jar lifter.

Cut corners or try to rush. Take. Your. Time.

Use anything but very fresh vegetables, fruits and meats.

Touch the underside of the jar lid with your fingers after you wash the lids as you prepare them for use. Go wash that lid again.

Reuse jar lids for another batch. They won't seal properly again. I can't say this enough: DO NOT REUSE THE INNER LIDS. You can reuse the rings.

Put jars in a water bath canner directly on the bottom of the pot. If you don't have a rack, put a hand towel on the bottom of the pot.

Leave the rings on your jars after they've cooled. This can cause a 'false seal,' where you can't tell that the jar's seal has failed, and that's a botulism party.

Forget to measure the head space in your jars. Seriously. Do it. Every time. (See the funnel I use, below. Makes it easy. Check it every time.)

Forget to wipe the rim of the jar with a clean damp cloth before putting the lid on. Food particles on the rim can affect your seal. (For foods containing animal fats, dip the cloth in vinegar to make sure you wipe away all of the fat. Water won't do the trick.)

Websites:

USDA Guide to Home Canning

National Center for Home Food Preservation

Basics of Home Canning

How to Can (Ball/Mason)

Canning Foods At Home (has good instructions on how to dispose of food which may have botulism toxin in it)

(Everything from here down is something I own and personally use.)

Books:

The All New Ball Book Of Canning And Preserving - lots of pictures and diagrams. My favorite beginner's guide. Also contains recipes which show you how to incorporate what you've preserved into your meals.

Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving - fewer pictures, lots and lots and lots of recipes.

The Complete Guide to Home Canning: Current Printing | Official U.S. Department of Agriculture Information Bulletin No. 539 (Revised 2015)

Tools:

Progressive Canning Scoop - This thing changed the game for me. Every scoop is a half pint. It hangs on the edge of the pot, so it doesn't need a plate on the stove to sit on.

Progressive Canning Funnel - Ditto this. It has a head-measuring marking set on the 'feet' of the funnel. The funnel has feet! It doesn't make a mess.

Canning Essentials - A good, inexpensive starter set. I use most of this and then my upgraded funnel.

Progressive Reversible Stainless Steel Canning Rack

Presto Pressure Canner - this is an investment, when you're ready to move up to pressure canning.

I also recommend having ph test strips to check the acidity of things you're water bath canning. Better safe than sorry.

So I've been busy.

This isn't even all of it.

Thess vs Experimentation

I went and had a look at the fruit that I had to see what the best way of approaching it all would be. I didn’t buy many raspberries, and they only filled one tray on my five-tray dehydrator, and just drying one tray of things seemed like a waste of electricity - no joke when energy bills are skyrocketing like they are. So I dug around for things that might be ready at about the same time.

The thing is, with so many different types of dehydrator on the market, and people’s own preferences, and thickness of fruit and so on, there’s not just one way of dehydrating anything. Different temperatures, different times, etc etc etc. So I decided that a little bit of research and experimentation was in order.

I went for the berries first, in the end. I was going to go for the mango, but it turns out that mine is just slightly too ripe to be good for this kind of thing. I thought about the plums, but they turned out to be not quite ripe enough, ironically. But I figured, with the way the trays in my dehydrator stack, I could put the raspberries (which take forever, basically) at the bottom, and then fill the other trays so that the things that will be ready first are at the top, and so on. So the top two trays have strawberries, the middle two trays have cherries, and the bottom two trays have raspberries. Thankfully my dehydrator switches off automatically when it’s done, because it’s going to run for awhile.

Once those are ready, I’ll move on to bananas and kiwis. Bananas should be particularly interesting because I found a recipe for peanut butter banana chips, and I was also pondering the potential for adding some Nutella to the peanut butter when coating the banana slices. That could be nice. Apples, pears, and plums will go last.

And then ... I move on to vegetables. I found some tips for how to flavour veggie chips for the dehydrator, and I plan to make carrot chips, courgette chips (zucchini, whatever), and the ubiquitous potato chips, of course. Sweet and savoury snacks, all produced by me. Huzzah!

Also I need to dry some mint leaves. I plan to make mint tea. And once I’ve got that done, I will study up on fruit leather.

Was the dehydrator expensive? Yes. Will I make it worth it? Also yes. Snacks of this kind are hella expensive, and while it’s a lot of effort to make at home (such a long time spent pitting cherries and hulling strawberries holy fuck), it’s going to be worth it. Besides, now the entire flat smells like warm raspberries. It’s nice.

AJW SUPER HURRICANE Commercial Tape 4/9/94

Rie Tamada vs. Chaparrita ASARI

This is ostensibly a rookies match but Tamada had been at it since 91 and ASARI since 92 so really this is just a juniors match. Tamada ties ASARI up like a bow in an attempt to keep her off her feet. The crowd couldn’t care less, but despite the wealth of talent on this show, the crowd seemed to all have dosed with Niquil so don't worry about it. This is perfectly fine and easily the best singles match either of them produced in their early days. Don't let the perverts in the audience sway you.

Mr. Buddhaman vs. Tomezo Tsunokake No firecrackers in this one! Lots of spots they worked around the circuit but also some pretty brutal spots. The crowd thinks this is comedy because the crowd is awful people. There are way worse ways to spend your time. These two could've lead a whole goddamn promotion.

Suzuka Minami & Tomoko Watanabe vs. Takako Inoue & Kaoru Ito I think even at this point Suzuka was still under the shadow of her former tag partner Hokuto, so the crowd is expecting a less than fiery performances from her. But everybody here shows the fuck up. Another counterpoint for everybody who says these four never blossomed. Haters never die.

Zen Nihon Senshukenjiai: Mima Shimoda vs. Miki Handa Miki Handa is sadly a footnote of the era. But in reality she was to LLPW what Plum was to JWP; she takes a colossal ass-kicking like an Absolute Girl and makes you love her and want her to win even though you know it ain't likely. In terms of the inevitability of CTE, that sucks a lot; but in terms of the wrestling narrative of the era (and still evident today, i.e. how Tam Nakano is booked in Stardom) it’s fun to have somebody who’s good at chasing and bad at catching. Stan Hansen? Great at chasing; didn't work as a champ. Ya feel me? Handa catches Shimoda with a quick German at the bell. Shimoda responds by doing the rope spot the world was tired of years before it finally stopped happening. Test of strength into finger stomp. Shimoda was LCO from the jump! Suzuka Minami on commentary, per usual. Shimoda doing joint manipulation and folding Handa into an origami frog is PEAK Shimoda. If Shimoda is Hokuto Lite, Handa is Cuty Suzuki Lite. Neither of those things are bad. Most of us will never be anywhere near that good at anything.

Shimoda throws Handa into every metal surface in Tokyo. Handa sells it by being THOROUGHLY peeved, then vertical suplexes her like a frilly Jumbo Tsuruta. Makes no sense but such is televised wrestling. You watch for the glorious moments when things coalesce into something greater than their constituent parts. Shimoda proves she's the WCW Ric Flair of the era by refusing to sell for anyone and just going thru her standard shit. UNTIL Handa gets her in a surfboard and then Shimoda looks like she's recovering from a visit to the dentist's. Weird sell but ok. Handa is def selling her part of the story--that Shimoda sucks on the mat; which we all knew but weren't sure would be enough to put her away. Surprise! It isn't. Mostly cuz Shimoda doesn't really ever wanna do business.

Zenjo vs. LLPW: Etsuko Mita vs. Eagle Sawai I can tell by the opening mat sequence that this is gonna be a 100hrs long. Eagle could go, she just always got mired in the mid-card sludge cuz no one in upper management thought she was photo book material. Mita Etsuko without a bright pink chair to hit folks with is rarely a Mita Etsuko you wanna watch.

Bull Nakano & Sakie Hasegawa vs. Manami Toyota & Kyoko Inoue Holy shit! How is this buried in this largely-forgotten event? Peak era for pretty much everyone involved. Hasegawa in upstart heel mode is a mood for the ages. She jukes Inoue and Toyota, Bull takes one step into the ring, and the crowd goes pale. Bull and Hasegawa take turns turning Toyota into a balloon animal ripe for popping. Hasegawa Tiger Suplexes Inoue into a billion day-glo shards. Hasegawa sells a top-rope DDT like someone everyone knows survived a catastrophic neck injury just a few years before--which is to say, like, "...that's all you got?" Bull doing a vertical suplex with a bridge is the rarest Bull; the crowd is a fog of question marks. Toyota's mouth is dripping blood. Hasegawa's spinning heel kick would still pop a crowd into a froth today. Watching her toss Toyota off when she goes for the lucha roll is so cathartic; no one wants to see a funny move done without a shred of irony. It is to Toyota's career as male pattern baldness is to Shawn Michaels. Why not have fun with it? Toyota does the German Airshow Leap to the outside and eats shit. (She's still bloodied, btw.) Bull figures if they both switch off chipping away at Inoue and Toyota, their combined efforts will rule the day. But twas not to be. The Fringe-Lace alliance get that good good W. Toyota realigns her nose and is back to looking crisp for the post-match interview. Hasegawa let's her shiny rainbow singlet, emblazoned with puff-paint, speak for her.

Aja Kong vs. Reggie Bennett This match wasn't even listed on the tape! I had no idea. This is their first encounter and will presumably last longer than their match from Arsion in 98--i.e., I am allowed to blink. No one will ever have better entrance music than AJW-era Aja Kong. It's inconceivable. Reggie has one giant French braid, cut-off overalls and a hardhat and she is your new fashion GOD. Aja does some Muta bits like spitting mist and doing a flying shoulder block. I'm glad the crowd enjoyed it cuz I think it sucked. Despite her present-day role (giving joshi aces a bog-standard 30min match on a monthly basis), Aja Kong transcends conventional gimmickry. She doesn't need that shit. Her reputation precedes her. It's at this point I notice Reggie Bennett is a beast who absolutely mauls Aja for the first 15min like no one I've ever seen. It's not just the booking; she legit tosses her around like my cat bats a balled-up tissue. Where is the Reggie Bennett shoot interview??? Aja shotays her way out of danger until they go into the crowd segment. Will Reggie blade?? Will she ever do a shoot interview? No and no. She does, however, power through two brutal lariats only to powerslam Aja! Has that ever happened? I cannot emphasize enough how intense Reggie's pace and strength are in this. Reggie takes a diving elbow to the clavicle and immediately dies. That made no sense. Aja spits yellow mist and now I hate her. Reggie Bennett forever. Post-match, Aja talks shit. Reggie commits herself to training harder. I say it again: Reggie Bennett forever.

Zenjo vs. LLPW: Yumiko Hotta & Toshiyo Yamada vs. Shinobu Kandori & Harley Saito I expect a Golden Corral buffet of kicks. A dumptruck full of kicks. A Nor'Easter of kicks descending upon me like I'm some quaint little hamlet. Kandori and Saito are basically the toughest LLPW had to offer. They're ready for Yamada and Hotta, though, and this is up and headed for the first overloaded plate of kicks before the bell has rung. Did Hotta vs Kandori ever happen? Shoulda. Kandori is horngry for AJW BLOOD. Saito is dressed like a tradtional Afghan dancer who has just discovered rave. Hard to say which I love more. Yamada kicks Kandori right in the jaw and...yeah no I've made my decision; I love that most of all. Hotta seems genuinely afraid of Saito. Kandori taunts Hotta, teasing the showdown, then decks Yamada with the QUICKNESS. This rules. Yamada has stepped up the stiffness for the occasion. You love to see it. Why didn't we get a year of these tag matches like All Japan in 91? Kandori dumps Yamada off her shoulders in one of the most wreckless things I've ever seen in a wrestling ring. Unfuckingreal. Hotta tries to smother Kandori but fears her Fujiwara armbar. As do I. They blunder into the finishing stretch with Saito as the speedbag. Saito never got her due. They seriously could've setup a whole year of main event booking around these four. Yamada finally nails her insanely complicated finisher and the streamers rain down. Structurally awkward but radiating more heat than most well-established feuds.
