Queer femme gray ace crone, still figuring it out.
Tonka beans are illegal to sell in food, but you can get them shipped online and use them in your home kitchen. I’m in the US and I have some in my pantry right now. I’ve tried them in cookies but I’ll try them in ice cream too, thanks for the tip!
A few extra tips: don’t put any cruciferous veg into your stock bag, like broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, etc. They will make your stock smell sulfurous. Bread pudding is another great use for stale bread and dairy.
My newest scrap discovery is using the liquid from canned fruit and leftover yogurt to make homemade popsicles.
An omniverous plant that also eats garbage?? Sign me up! 😂
He looks positively putrid! I would like a Festus to protect my garden from rodents.
No washing, the boiling water sterilized anything nefarious on the eggs. I don’t wash my cast iron either, just rinse and kill it with fire on the stove.
I was trying to degoogle and permanently remove the google shit, and at the time this model had just come out and there wasn’t much about it. I may try again on this phone when it starts to go.
I couldn’t unlock my bootloader on my oneplus 9 pro. I also tend to need DETAILED instructions for things, so there is a chance I missed a step and didn’t realize it. I also didn’t know that there’s a difference between rooting and running a different OS…I thought they were the same thing.
Oh my lard soylanka is my absolute favorite soup! I love to add pickle brine and sour cream to mine. I never thought of making it into a stew, great idea to switch it up.
I had two cats from the same litter who had opposite personalities, just like your two. They were both fixed as kittens. The male was very aggressive with play and dominant, he would try to hog everything. The female was very calm and gentle, though she would fight back if the male was being a brat. I had to feed them in separate rooms, also play with them separately. They occasionally played together, but not much, even as adults. I used a spray bottle to deter bad behavior like biting. I got a big glove to use when rough playing with the male. They eventually worked out a heirarchy amongst themselves for cuddles, but they were always very different personalities. The male calmed down as he got older, but it took time.
Point being, yours may never gel and get along to the point of you being able to have them do everything together, and that’s ok. But I think your intuition is right, he will calm down as he gets older and is fixed.
The path to privacy is a long and arduous constant fight, full of inconveniences.
You got that right! Especially when rooting your phone is the best option. I never did figure it out, that shit is hard!
I feel you, photography is so expensive!! To make a cyanotype from a negative you can still use an enlarger, but you have to switch out the bulb for a cold uv one. I thought this print would look really nice as a cyanotype. It’s also easier to dodge/burn with a cyanotype because the exposures are so much longer. I don’t know if it’s possible to contact print off of another print, but I would guess not because the rc paper is pretty thick.
Thank you for the new craft rabbit hole. I’ve been using my spare bits of string for darning but this looks more fun.
Yes, turning trash to treasure is one of my hobbies too. Nice work on getting this tricky backlit shot! I’m a fan of the film grain look. Have you experimented with ilford’s fiber paper? This would also look interesting as a cyanotype.
What a fun way to use leftover thread!! How did you learn about this? How are you choosing to display it?
Aw how lucky are you, getting that darkroom gear! I also got lucky and was gifted an old pressman camera I can’t wait to get cleaned up…I don’t have a darkroom yet though. Someday. Would love to see more shots! What kind of film/paper did you use?
Excellent, subbed! I generally cook homemade food that isn’t plated fancily, is this the community for those kinds of posts as well? Planning on experimenting with homemade vadouvan soon. I also make a lot of delicious but often rustic looking baked goods.
My vote is for a 10-12" traditional cast iron pan. I’ve used every type of pan out there, and the one I leave sitting out on my stove is my trusty cast iron skillet that was my great great grandparents’. It will oulive me too!
Buying:
I would recommend to not buy new. Buy an old used one that ideally has a smooth surface, not a rough one. (The newer ones have a dimpled surface due to how they’re molded and they take longer to season up in my opinion.) Check the old pan for bulges, cracks, and extreme rust (like the whole thing is orange). If there’s a few rust spots, that can be fixed with a good scrub, a thin coating of oil, and an hour in a 400 degree oven. That’s it! If you are cooking with the same pan a lot, you don’t need to worry about it rusting ever again. Just always coat it in a thin layer of high heat oil. (I prefer avocado or safflower.)
Cooking:
Never put food in a cold pan! Let it warm up first. Put a bead of water in to check if it’s ready, it will sizzle when the pan is hot. If food sticks, add liquid or oil and scrape the bottom good with a metal spatula. You don’t have to be gentle with cast iron!
Cleaning:
After cooking, turn off your burner and immediately remove all the food (do not leave it in the pan to cool! Harder to clean) and run it under blazing HOT tap water (I wear kitchen gloves for this step!) The temp change won’t be high enough to damage your pan. Scrub it out with a copper chore boy or very stiff brush all over, then put back on the still warm burner (if you use electric) or turn the burner on low and wait for the water to evaporate off, it’ll only take a minute or two. Then rub the pan lightly ALL OVER, every bit, with a high heat cooking oil. I keep a small rag in some oil for this purpose. Done! It takes me like 3 min to clean the pan, tops.
This cleaning method is sooo much easier than having to deal with any of my other pans. If you wash it hot and keep it seasoned, nothing will stick and it’ll last forever!
