Do you grow beans? They’re very nutritious.
I do! And I agree, they're a very needed source of protein and iron. I love eating them too!
#growing enough beans to have a year-long stash takes a lot of growing space though#bean plants don't produce a lot of weight per plant#so you need like a field of beans in order to have dry beans available all year#tomatoes on the other hand#one plant can produce 5-10kg of tomatoes#so i can grow a year's worth of tomatoes in my little garden#while I only manage about 1-2kg of beans#which is like#a few meals#i still feel very special when i eat my own beans#but i can't wait to have my own growing space#so i can grow all year's stash#and mine are so colorful too!#i have black white spotted purple#brown green yellow#every year i pick my most beautiful beans and put them in one jar#and then admire that jar excessively on its beauty#its prominently displayed in my kitchen#on the fridge#so i can look at it in awe

The Charcuterie Board, as designed by your votes! Thank you to everyone who participated; this was a fun challenge!
#charcuterie saga#The original version of this was a watercolour but unfortunately I left it behind while travelling...#Along with some of my comic pages and my scripting notes (that's why I have yet to post more pd-mdzs...I funked it up big time)#This board was made on Dec 30th and I am very thankful to the people who helped donate various components to make it possible.#I took a few variations on the composition and while this one has some flaws - I think it has the most personality!#True Charcuterie fans will look at my choices and weep but I never promised good charcuterie!!! I promised accuracy to the poll!#Some elements stand in as 'double counting' in categories. Which was a survival technique for me.#I had to learn a lot of new things to make this possible! My skills like in making the physical wooden board - not the arrangement of food!#Rosemary was hotly debated as I personally do think it counts as edible (so not a valid pick for 'decoration').#I also thought tomato sauce could count as a fruit and spread.#My cursed hand has fingerprints in other parts of this tragedy. Beware looking too closely.#Of course there is a version of reality in which I have the disposable income to buy 20+ different kinds of cheese and-#-make this baby absolutely massive. Not the reality I live in though.#What a wild experience this saga has been. So many opinions about cheese (and other foods).#EDIT: I mislabelled the Salami! There is salami on the board!!!

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again
#i just dont know how else to tell you everything !!! santoor from a different room the large family gathering the black tea with saffron#drank out of delicate glass and gold vessels cold marble on hot nights big stars big rivers big mountains#visible from busy tehran roads the ease of conversation tension eased by sarcasm tall tall cliffsides you drive by#rushing to put on headscarves before the head teacher comes in a rave by the base of damavand massive sun pastel purple skies#disjunct architecture trucks on road sides with fresh fruits pomegranates watermelons oranges everywhere#the smell of golpar on tangerines beautiful girls in tehran holding hands bautiful boys in kermanshah speaking kurdish the janky#cars on the verge of breakdown held together by love caspian sea lighting up in spring staying up into the morning on noruz#my friends uncle sang and played setar his son played the violin a little fear a lot of love remnants of something#grand carved into the cliffside everything feels bigger taller the landscape swallows you it smells like#illegally imported wine and orange blossoms and auntie's tahchin soaking your eyes in warm tea when youre sick#tomatoes and salt concrete and stone something mandmade and something raw new flag old resilience#the anger getting to us bruised eyes big grin all i know is the north i feel sorry my mother asks if id be okay#if they got a place in tajikistan we love each other enough dont we? when we look in the mirror we see each other. theres a love letter#across the border and it says I MISS YOU IM GLAD YOURE DOING BETTER itll never be the same im not okay with it at all there are no more#stars i miss jumping over big fires i miss our fireworks im sorry we cant be happy anymore everyone#leaves the mint and rosewater and sunlight for a reason.#it's not pride it's just generational regret

How good do you think is Vertin’s spice tolerance. Discuss.
#reverse 1999#vertin#certified storm moments#on one hand it would be funny if her painfully white person british genes has her turning into a tomato and evaporating if she takes a bite#out of anything with a modicum of spice in it#on the other hand her job has her on all sorts of places and therefore she’s probably been introduced and has eaten a variety of cuisines#with spice in them. and may have built up something of a decent tolerance of it#i was eating bicol express when the question passed through my mind#someone should make a reverse 1999 characters spice tolerance tierlist

you did a post kinda discussing other spain ships you like, but what about romano?
even tho I don't rlly make stuff for them, ive got a soft spot for prumano! portmano and framano are both very funny to me -- i love the comedic potential they have lmao.
tbh there are also some romano ships I like more platonically! i love when he's rlly close friends with canada, america, and belgium. also iceland just bc of that One canon comic from. however fucking long ago that was lmfao
#ask.txt#i dunno if ill ever draw anything for other roma ships just bc i dont think i can do it justice unfortunately.#my brainrot has a particular flavor and its both of those fucking tomato bastards holding hands and kissing

top ten breakfasts that inspire poetry
#with some red tomato salsa on top its so good#i just made some and life is beautiful again#the perfect breakfast is egg in the hole both sides generously crisped with butter#cooked so that the yolk is runny and soft#a perfect dipping sauce for when you pull the bread apart with your bare hands#a meal too good to be simply eaten with a fork like normal it is meant to be devoured#yolk running down your fingers from the bread as you pop it bit by bit into your mouth#so... in short one of the best breakfasts to exist#has me thinking about a poem about the trials of making the perfect one#having made mnay egg in a holes which were not great to almost perfect#theres an artform in knowing when to flip it#too early and the bread is not toasted and delicious and the yolk may break and fill your pan and not your mouth#too late and one side becomes much more toasted than the other and the yolk cooks leaving u with an adequate breakfast#but not the perfect one and the knowledge leaves you staring forlornly at it as u eat it with the fork#knowing the breakfast it couldve shouldve been#its an exercise in both patience which i have always lacked#and confidence overcoming the nerves of breaking your yolk which is something i have learned to slowly have#as the years go by i get better at having both of those things the patience and the confidence#and have made better and better breakfasts and one day i will make an egg in a hole that is perfect and beautiful and just like my grandpas

*Leans into mic*
“Billy the Kid and James Moriarty are the two most reliable and trustworthy characters still alive when it comes to both Ritsuka’s goals and safety.”
#*I am thrown a combination of tomatoes rocks flowers and money for this statement*#fate go#cosmos in the lostbelt#‘what about MASH!’ someone shouts *I tap mic* ‘she’s trustworthy but less reliable. she’s hesitated in worry before when it comes to morals.#James on the other hand is running 6 long cons to pick Rits over the world if it comes to it and Billy said ‘what about OUR right to live?!#looks to me like he needs killin Ritsuk!’ and gunned a bitch down on the spot outside active combat. I rest my case’

i actually tried taking some pics but SOME STUPID CAMERA made my whole hand appear red and it was not a my-whole-hand-is-red episode it was a my-fucking-g0d-my-hands-have-two-different-colors-lmao episode and the camera fucking ruined it
#this phone's camera is shitty#well i never really cared i don't take selfies so i'm not suffering#BUT I WANTED TO GET SOME PROOF ON MY PHONE Y'KNOW? IN CASE A FUCKING DOCTOR DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY#WHICH IS 90% OF THE TIME#EVEN IF I HAVE THE FUCKING DIAGNOSIS#tio morcego tá pistola#edit bc i feel like i was not clear enough: listen i know that people w EM might know what i meant but#it literally looked like there was a line separating the flare from the normal circulation area?#and in one side it's BURNING RED and the other was beige (my skin tone)#on the back of my hand i mean. the palm was red as a tomato#also... burning red... that gave me another post idea hold on i need to write it now lol

biked to the grocery store in the low sun of evening, walked past some basil and was possessed by a vision of bucatini, walked past some sun dried tomatoes and the vision was clarified, cooked with the last remnants of sun and now i get to watch nature documentaries and sleep off the morning's hike... deeply content
#spent the morning along creeks and under oaks#with grassland and wildflowers and pockets of chaparral#hiking with friends in beautiful weather#came home and got to have the Biking Through Nice Streets To Store joy#got so many little nice things at the store#cooked by the guiding hand of the ancestors <- guy who has no connection to them but knows that garlic tomato pasta basil can't go wrong#some days there is a transcendent joy#some days just a deep contentment. some good days i mean - days in the sun usually go one way or the other#getting home from hike dehydrated as hell (oops) and eating cold grapes on the couch with my sweetheart#happy things

been really into eating these boneless wings from a restaurant near me recently
i feel like that's probably just my body telling me i need more protein? but who knows, it's never been very clear on that front for me
#my sister on the other hand... her stomach knows exactly what she needs at any given time#she figured out she had an acid problem years before it was actually diagnosed because she didn't like tomatoes or chocolate#and she's very good at dialing in to what she needs for dinner in a given week#meanwhile i just kinda make sure i have food and try to make a decent spread of fat protein and vitamins hahaha

so MAYBE I spent 4 hours in IKEA on a whim instead of cleaning my flat BUT! BUT!!!!! I bought several forms of Tiny Shelves which as any fule kno makes everything instantly tidier.
added yet another tier to my stack of tea/coffee/cocoa/misc shelves to control The Collection. got trays under all my draining plant pots so I can actually water them. and I got a new monitor stand which is wide enough to fit both my A3 tablet and my A5 tablet underneath and has a shelf with enough space to trade out my work and home laptops easily. plus it's like 3in less deep than my old one, so that's freed up a bunch more desk space.
also of course vitally we did get the Small BLAHÅJ which was the whole point.
I also found a portable freestanding bag situation (toybox from the nursery section) which is both a) a way better option for storing glass recycling and hauling it down 3 flights of stairs than my previous solution "small cardboard box which holds 8 jars/bottles until one of us can be bothered to transfer them into a bag" and b) HAS A REALLY CUTE WHALE ON IT
plus we (Sam) got some new plant friends and the next size up of a lidded pyrex box I've always found super good for lasagne. and Sam got several things he's needed for a while (as well as a wee shark)
in summary did I spend too much money at IKEA and fritter away a full day walking around aimlessly for fun to the point of exhaustion? yes. was it extremely sensible and adult and I'm actually correct in all regards always? perhaps.
#red said#the disadvantage of the new monitor stand is bc the sides are solid it's a lot less good for cable management than the old one#i may need to consider my approach to that#i don't want to tie any laptop cables down bc both chargers need to leave my room relatively frequently#but it's a bit suboptimal right now cause one transformer pack is taking up a big chunk of the shelf#and my work macbook charger is kind of folded around awkwardly to keep it plugged in while the laptop's tucked away#on the other hand my tablets are both tidier and more accessible#so it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other#anyway. i was too productive last thing before bed so although I'm very tired i now can't sleep#but i rearranged things into the new trays and shelves and tidied my desk and sorted out my laundry#so that's not 'cleaned the flat' but given that i got in at 10pm it's not nothing#anyway i got Sam a peace lily and he got another plant too#and talked me out of buying a sweet pepper plant which. he's RIGHT i have already occupied EVERY surface with my chili and tomato seedlings#and buying a plant from IKEA for £8.50 vs buying seeds for like £1.75 and getting several years of multiple plants#just isn't as good an economic proposition#but i want the peppers NOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW#he is right though

witch from mercury is good but the degree to which the setup and first ep resembles Utena is hilarious like. could u even call that a homage. i mean the rest of the shit is different enough that i guess it;s whatever but lmao. in a greenhouse even?
#maybe the creators thought that all yuri has to b like that.#on the other hand the homages to og gundam are fun and i like them. i feel v glad that the 1 gundam#ive watched before was teh first one. because that was the blueprint and from what ive heard#like every gundam after references it constantly#even the younger jeturk boy twirling his hair like garma lol! and tha tomato..#gundam#witch from mercury#-_-
