Never been happier! I have so many peppers growing on my plants right now I am so amazed and can't wait until they are ripe!!

So many Thai chilis, habaneros, and real deal peppers +a jalapeño and a couple mystery peppers. Google says they are habaneros but I haven't bought any new habanero seeds and they look completely different from my other habaneros. Still super exciting!!!

@quiddie In the wake of this episode, it has hit me Karna will never have the chance to learn how to play chess from Colin. And Colin, entirely consumed (ha) by hunting down the sanctis putris, probably doesn't even consider it! But YEARS from now, I'd like to think he looks at a chess board and remembers the old joke.

Spring Green Noodles (Vegetarian)

Combining the year's first harvest of Snow Peas with frozen vegetables makes these Spring Green Noodles particularly appealing and tasty --and covers at least three of your five-a-day in the process! A bright, simple and falvourful lunch, perfect for a weekday! Happy Thursday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

80 grams/2.85 ounces udon noodles

1 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1/2 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger

a small Green Onion

1/3 cup frozen green peas

1/3 cup frozen broccoli fleurets

a dozen Garden Snow Peas 

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tablespoon Hot Pepper Sauce 

2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce

a small bunch Garden Chives 

In a small pot of salted boiling water, cook udon noddles until soft and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Immediately drain and rinse well under cold water, to remove the starch. Then, place in a bowl of cold water; set aside.

Heat a large wok over a high flame. Once hot, add toasted sesame oil.

Peel and grate ginger, and add to the hot oil. Fry, 1 minute.

Thinly slice Green Onion, and add chopped white part of the Green Onion (saving green part for topping) to the wok. Cook, 1 minute more.

Stir in frozen peas and broccoli fleurets, and cook until softened, a few minutes.

Then, stir in Snow Peas, shaking the wok to coat in oil and ginger. Cook, a couple of minutes until softened.

Stir in garlic, and cook, another minute.

Then, deglaze with Hot Pepper Sauce and sweet soy sauce.

Drain udon noodles, and stir them into the wok, coating well in sauce and vegetables.

Finely chop Chives, and stir into the wok.

Enjoy Spring Green Noodles hot, sprinkled with reserved chopped green part of the Green Onion.

Me: *orders curry*

Waiter: what spice level would you like?

Me: hot, please.

Everyone: NOOOOOOO! Thai food is SPICY! Even mild curry will burn you!

Me: ...hot, please.

Waiter: *gives me curry*

Me: what? This is isn't hot at all!

Everyone else: *tastes curry*

Everyone else: *crying*

Everyone else: I'M DYING!

Me, eating: I mean, it's good, don't get me wrong, but spicy? I eat ghost peppers for fun. This is like, chili pepper level, at BEST.

Everyone else: there's something wrong with you.

(via Chiang Mai, Thailand: Cooking School | John Rachel) Masumi and I got an introduction to how to prepare Thai food during our recent visit to Chiang Mai. Truly unforgettable!

Quick little garden tour:

the wildflowers are immaculate despite the heat and drought

peppers of all shapes and sizes- Txorixero, Jigsaw, Chinese 5-color, Tsin Tsin, Poblano, Jalapeno. in the background is my onion bed (overtaken by weeds that were impossible to deal with) and behind that is the pea/spinach/carrot bed which is dried up. I've plucked plenty of peas and pinach pods and i'm drying them elsewhere for seed saving.

herb bed, with blank spots filled in by zinnias and a bitter melon chives, parsley, thyme from left to right

cranberry beans, which have just started producing pods

the watermelon patch between the beans and tomatoes, with another zinnia that i'm too kind to tear up, and the wild tomato jungle strung up with a semi-florida weave

a 4x4 section entirely dedicated to lemongrass because I love thai curry, with a wall of zinnias and gifted tomato plants, then zucchini on the right side

the last-finished garden bed where I tried to plant bare-root strawberries but it's been so hot and dry only a couple survived. I replaced the bare space with some late-started exotic peppers. also in containers are some perennials, succulents, and crispy ass lavender

the sunflower bed is doing great with regular sprinkling

the left half of my garden which is still missing about 12 yards of compost, but we'll get to that before the next growing season. next to the wildflowers are two owari satsumas that i keep meaning to plant but really i'm too lazy so they've stayed in their pots next to the wildflowers. I have a meyer lemon and a calamondin orange in the same situation just off-camera.

I was hanging out with a little girl who fucking coughed on me and now I'm sick...

Usually I'll drink a shot of vinegar, ginger honey, cinnamon and cayenne pepper... but i don't have access to than rn...

And in my sick/ half sleep haze I was thinking about how our diverse cast of hot men would take care of sick s/o using natural remedies

So Shiva, jataka, Buddha, (it might be the same because India idk, I guess Thai for Buddha)

Loki (Celtic/Greek idk)

Kojiro (Japanese)

I need some ror men..

medicine!

Need medicine...

I hope your sickness was short!

I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH SASAKI BECAUSE OF YOU!

RoR: How do they take care of sick s/o (Shiva, Jataka, Buddha, Loki, Sasaki Kojirō)

Shiva

Shiva has never been sick in his life, so he freaks out a bit when you get sick. Not the most helpful companion you can find. At first he asks what to do, but if you are too weak to speak, then… oh well.

Shiva doesn’t leave his realm, so he doesn't know any natural, human remedies that could help you. He keeps you warm and sits next to you the entire time. He remains vigilant. Even he pretends it’s nothing, his wives can tell he genuinely worries.

Once the worst is over and you start to look more alive, Shiva does his best to keep you in a good mood. Say a word and he will even dance for you.

What’s surprising, no matter how hard you try, you can’t infect Shiva. He basically cuddles you, feeds you, and helps you change clothes all the time, and yet all the germs seem to ignore him.

Jataka

Jataka was sick himself, he knows it all too well. As soon as he notices the first symptoms, he is very caring. Even if it’s just a flu, he doesn't downplay it.

He prepares for you an ayurvedic drink. Depending on your symptoms, he will choose the right recipe. He makes sure you drink all of it, so don’t even try to argue. It’s a waste of time, this man is too stubborn.

Jataka provides everything you need, he even brings you a book to read or he reads to you himself. He is cautious and keeps his distance, but that doesn’t stop him from being very strict: he makes sure you drink enough water and that you’re warm.

Every time he checks if you have a fever, he caresses your cheek with his finger before moving away. It's the only physical thing he can do right now to show you his affection.

Buddha

His first reaction is to tell you to lie down. It doesn't seem to bother him, because it’s just the flu. He had it when he was human, it’s not a big deal, especially if you have everything you need right under your nose. But secretly it eats him up inside, to the point where he can no longer eat sweets. So he shows up on your doorstep with his very casual attitude and starts asking questions. He checks if you’re hydrated, if you have a fever, if you need anything.

Buddha was born in present-day Nepal, so he follows ayurvedic… a little. He knows it’s not 100% effective, but he still finds some methods solid. He would make you brew containing honey, tusi leaves and lemon juice, and force you to drink it. It’s the best for the flu in his opinion.

He sits at the proper distance, eats his sweets and talks to you. He isn’t the worst companion you can get. Isn’t the best either… Do you know how good this candy is? Oh, right, you don’t, because you can’t taste *smirk* Don’t waste your pillow trying to hit him…

Loki

Let’s be honest, Loki probably isn’t the best person to take care of a sick person. At first, he acts annoyed when you announce your condition to him, but after awhile when he sees you struggling with the easiest tasks, he begins to worry. Seeing you in such weak shape makes Loki a little, a bit… soft.

From what I’ve researched, the Nords believed that sickness was an attack of malignant spirits (often ancestors) on the body. Loki obviously knows better what’s going on with you, but I wouldn’t be surprise if he mentions this fun fact to you. He was probably the one who sold people this nonsense in the first place. Let's just hope you're not hallucinating…

Loki prepares you tea with honey and entertains you with his new diabolical plans of how to mess with humans. He doesn’t even need you to be active in the conversation, but it's nice to see you smile or snort from time to time.

Loki doesn't follow any rules (i.e. keeps his distance, washes hands) and he will probably end up sick as well. Guess whose fault it is? And guess will have to take care of him? AND guess who won’t lie in bed and rest but spread germs everywhere? That’s right…

Kojirō Sasaki

He is the sweetest guy you could have by your side right now. A little clumsy, but he has got a spirit.

Considering how observant Kojirō is, he'll probably be the first to notice the symptoms. Even if you deny it, he will prepare for the possibilities ahead.

Sasaki would prepare for you hachimitsu-daikon - it’s Japanese form of cough and throat syrup, made from honey and Japanese radish. Kojirō would make it for you just like his mother did when he was a child.

Kojirō doesn’t mind missing a few days of training, you’re his priority. He is with you as long as you need and entertains you with stories from his life. He can read you something until you fall asleep.

He makes sure you’re hydrated, always brining you fresh water or preparing ginger tea called shoga-yu. He doesn’t try to make you anything else, because he is terrible at picking herbs and might accidentally poison you.
