#salt concentration

The Great Salt Lake in Utah, United States.

Fun fact: The Great Salt Lake has a railroad causeway that separates the lake into two bodies of water.

The blue side is mixed with fresh water from three different rivers, so its salt levels are much lower than the pink side.

The pink side has almost 10 times the salt concentration of the ocean and is home to salt-loving organisms that give the water it’s pink hue

very much hate when people decide that Echo is not a big enough part of the batch and talk about the bad batch as if they would be better off without Echo. hate it. hate it a lot.

idk I think part of why I love my adulthood so much is because I was raising a household at a very early age (I was taking care of my infant sister at the age of five; the rest of my family by age 10), and as an adult, I'm only obligated to the needs of myself, my clients, and my close friends.

I'm overworked and underpaid and overtired and undermedicated more often than not, but when there's a fire in my woods, it's mine and nobody else's.

new configeration of the office at work makes it so i won't have a computer at the book-putting-together desk which is fine but it does mean i have no excuse not to get back into listening to my podcasts while i process . only it's been years since i listened to podcast and i frankly don't even know where to start . last time i listened to any podcast for any length of time was the year i first had really bad insomnia and i would put on adventure zone (ethersea? i believe? the underwater one) on an incredibly low volume at like three am and lie there frustrated as i failed to find rest so that sort of soured me on the whole podcast experience . but suppose i start one up in the light of day with a nice new big desk in front of me and a sweet pile of books that need covers? like . why did i stop listening to that show really . or any of the other ones . i bet they're still good

[It's gonna be a really concentrated flavor that goes into every bowl. Got it. Lots of salt, ginger, garlic, dried shiitake mushrooms, scallion whites, and -- And a bunch of soy. How long's this gonna cook down? About 20 minutes.]

Something that always kinda bugged me about og fnf fans is how some of them regret not getting to experience early 2000's internet culture/media. Ignoring the fact that alot of those games are still up on NG, I couldnt think of saying anything more naive if I tried.

Salad with strawberries, roasted pine nuts and elderflower

Ingredients for 4 portions:

400g mache, or something similar (baby spinach or salad mixes work just as well)

250g strawberries

30g pine nuts

A pinch of salt

1 tablespoon elderflower concentrate (if all else fails, ikea sells this)

Optionally, 1 handful organic pink rose leaves (These are hard to get a hold of, so don't stress about it. Also please don't eat anything you found in a flower shop, that shit has been doused in pesticides.)

Dressing:

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons of lemon zest

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

1 tablespoon of elderflower concentrate

Preparation:

Roast the pine nuts on a hot, dry pan until most are golden or light brown. Add elderflower concentrate and salt to the pan, and mix it around, until the concentrate has evaporated. Leave your hot long nuts on a plate to cool.

Wash the salad and break it into bite-sized pieces. Wash and de-stem the strawberries, and cut them into quarters or slices. If you've somehow aquired a handful of organic rose leaves, wash these as well.

Pour the dressing ingredients into a container or glass with a lid, and shake it in precisely the way you wouldn't shake a newborn child.

Mix the salad, strawberries and dressing in a bowl, and top with rose leaves and pine nuts.

Voila. Simple but amazing summer salad that goes well with anything you could put on a grill.
