It’s #recipe thread time!

I made the best pot of #soup I’ve ever cooked today. I didn’t use a recipe, so I don’t have measurements for you—just keep tasting as you go. I started with a pot of chicken stock & added a couple of healthy splashes of low sodium soy sauce, a big spoonful of garlic chili sauce, a couple of big spoonfuls of minced ginger, about the same amount of minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, a little Basque seasoning (I put it in everything), Chinese 5-spice, some parsley, +

HCB sent me a recipe for artichoke. I love artichoke, & I was w/ her the 1st time I ever had them (at Baba Yaga in Houston--gawd, I loved that restaurant). It was a b-day lunch, & it's kind of wild anything tasted good that day, bc I had the worst hangover I'd ever had in my life. In fact, I'd woken up on HCB's bathroom floor that morning, freaking out, believing I'd gone blind ...

bc the black midi skirt I'd worn the night b4 was up over my head & I was still too hammered to realize it. +

The whole server migration from past night turned out a little different then I wanted, in total I could only cut about 30-50 euros per month from the main server cost

I did had to upgrade since it does seem like we need the power :blobcatgiggle:

But.... it wasn't for nothing!

Currently we are "future proof" with the latest software, both front and backend. The previous server was literal 4 years old :catblush:

So a little costs cut plus a huge software improvement

White men telling me they're “done here.” Yeah, you certainly fucking are.

When I (Timba’s spare human) go swimming, she maybe comes to the edge of the pool once or twice & stares until I speak to her—to, you know, make sure I’m still alive or whatever.

When Mr. Boots (Timba’s beloved daddy) goes swimming, she flings all 80 lbs of herself in the water & sticks to him like a giant hairy barnacle & makes huffy noises & sometimes even grabs his arm in her mouth & pulls until he’s back on the stairs in the shallow end.

She adores him. 🥰

My son & d-i-l’s house in #Houston was hit. They & their animals are OK. Sheared off all their trees—roof & pole barn will need work. No power or cell service, but his truck is a generator & hot spot. He & his neighbors are helping each other bring all the broken branches & trees down. One of their neighbors got the top of a pine thru their house, but no one was hurt. That’s all I know for now. It’s going to be a while before I stop shaking. #tornados

"... while 186 of 193 countries have ratified the CEDAW treaty, the USA shamefully remains as one of only seven countries that has to date refused to ratify it. We join Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Nauru, Palau, & Tonga on this indefensible list. Therefore, CEDAW does not apply in the US. Meanwhile, no Federal legislation exists to ban #ChildMarriage in the US either." https://qasimrashid.substack.com/p/america-has-a-child-marriage-epidemicand

Okay, since I'm on laundry today, a little story.

When hubs and I first got married, we were very much enjoying our little Honeymoon Bubble, and we were being lazy as Hell. We didn't do many chores, but the laundry we really let go. We weren't wearing many clothes at home anyway, so why bother. Anyhow, after weeks we finally reached the swimming suit bottoms situation, and decided it was time. It was loads and loads of laundry that needed done, so I had my husband back the trunk of the car up to a window of the house, then he popped the trunk, and I started tossing laundry out of the window into the trunk. We went to the bank, got about $30 bucks in quarters, and found the emptiest laundry mat we could, and did it all in one fell swoop. We folded it all and loaded it back into the car using those wheeled laundry carts. We never let it get that bad again, and decided it was time to be adults, and do regular chores, but it still makes me laugh imagining what the neighbors and the laundry attendant thought.

Feel free to share your own laundry story, if you feel like it, I love hearing people's stories!

So, what's the thing, what's the big thing no one can help you with? How do you cope with it?
