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

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

Vegetable gardening as a hobby
Pro: eating the fruits of your labor 🤩
Con: eating the fruits of your labor 😒
#why did I grow Swiss Chard and eggplant? i don't want to eat this#me#on the other hand the tomatoes and peppers and ground cherries and tomatillos have been a delight

So apparently the tool shed used to be a water softener shed but one day the water softener exploded and got salt everywhere and fucked up all of the concrete around it so now the door barely fits in the frame and there's a big space underneath it inside and outside but that's fine because dad wants to replace all of the concrete pathway on that side of the garden anyway and also he could turn it back into a water softener shed so the water wouldn't taste like rocks anymore but the thing about that is if we got a water softener then we couldn't hook it up to the regular pipeline that's already in there because that will go out to the drain pipe n the city will get mad at us because of all of the salt water being dumped into the concrete which as previously stated fucks it up but it's okay because we can route it to the septic tank underneath the garden instead because that doesn't get used anymore because now there's sewer pipes because there weren't any when my grandpa first built the house here but that's a problem for another time because the current problem is sanding all of the door frames so we can repaint them and the two back doors and the tool shed water softener door so we can stain them but the problem with that is that dad got the wrong size sanding paper so he'll have to go back to home depot to get more and also apparently in the big old metal lockbox outside next to the tool shed there are motorcycle parts from a bike that my uncle stole in high school and also there's black widows in there so that's another a problem we should figure out
Many things to learn in this wonderful world
#Also I found a bug in the tomato plants#And speaking of my uncle one of the windows in the back door is a different glass than the others#Because one time in high school he locked my dad out and then my dad punched out the window and unlocked the door and beat him up#And he still has a scar about it on his hand lol

*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

if you show me kindness just know that i will remember that forever
#a few days ago i met someone i had talked to on socials before but that was p much the first time we interacted really#and i felt really shy also bc there were other people i didnt really know so i felt a bit awkward but at some point#we have this tradition here that when someone gets a uni degree when we celebrate#the person has to read a kind of poem writtwn by their friends and family about them while their friends basically throw stuff at them like#flour or eggs or tomato sauce etc..#and the person has to wear a funny costume#and we started doing that and i was doing my thing and this guy broke an egg (u break them slightly before throwing them so u dont hurt the#person) and handed it to me to throw.. then he would give me a tissue to clean my hands whenever i threw something#and at the end i was helping my friend out of her dirty costume and he pulled up my sleeves for me and that really did make a difference#lmao because my friend was sooo dirty and idk i just thought it was so sweet?????? just so kind and idk these things make me want to cry#there were more things as well but idk these little things mean so much to me

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
