Eric Carmen died. I want it on record that his is the best version of All By Myself, not just because he wrote it, but because he clearly felt it when he recorded it.
Hell of a songwriter. And I’ll always love “Make Me Lose Control.”
@c8bf19eb I think I brined them overnight in salty spicy buttermilk then dredged in flour, egg, then the “oil drizzled breadcrumbs,” and the latter means you don’t have to worry about spraying with oil when you air fry them.
@432f6e91 I’m not new-agey at all, but I knew a First Nations shaman once that told me whenever I was losing my life force, visit a tree. I was like “now that’s a faith I can get into.” Ha. :)
@c8bf19eb haha. Yeah, my space tends to shut people up if that’s the case. lol. Yeah, put your thinking cap on. It’s actually a really fun project.
But travelling for nearly 5 years straight and staying with probably over 100 kitchens in that time taught me some creative solutions. :)
@c8bf19eb I did a pretty major rethink of my kitchen just to accommodate one, thinking it would be great for my health.
Wound up making a little custom pot rack for over my counter and putting a couple bakers’ racks in my living room, because my kitchen is a tiny galley with literally ONE DRAWER, so storage is a fucking disaster. I keep the air fryer in my cupboard.
But this was the best project I’ve never done. The pot rack was $20 in hardware bits.
Ignore my mess. Real time. :)

High five to everyone who voted with their brain and heart in Manitoba yesterday.
Can’t wait for them to finally bring peace to people and search that landfill.
Some questions need answers, whatever the costs.
Making some Greek yogurt. I’ve increased my fat content. I now use 3:1 of 3.25% fat homo milk, and 18% fat table cream.
It’s pretty dang good. True full fat (11%) Greek yogurt would be 2 litres of whole milk and 1 litre of 33% whipping cream.
I may try that sometime. I’ve done 2.5 litres of whole milk and 750ml of the 18%. I think it’s about 6% or so fat? Not bad. Nice and creamy. It’s a start. :) #cooking
I don’t feel guilty about fat in yogurt. It & eggs are my biggest protein sources.
If you’re still ignorantly pushing the idea that Jack Dorsey “owns” Bluesky when he was just a founding investor, you should know he HATES it so much he has deleted his account there.
He invested. It went a different way than he wanted. He left. That’s the story.
Stop making shit up. MEANWHILE, he still has a Twitter account. Bluesky may be the Wild West, but it’s not putting up with pro-vax buddies of RFK, which is why Jack got ostracized way back in April on Bluesky.

@e3c6d923 if you need the wisdom, you should watch some YouTube videos on shaping Neapolitan pizzas. It wasn’t till I did that that I really started getting good pies. :)
I have an actual weekend off. I get to have recreational time like normal human beings.
But I’ll be spray painting my 2 stools. They’re “gunmetal grey” metal stools, retro, & somehow the paint has failed & I have several growing rust
Totally forgot that WINDY season is upon us. Tomorrow, under 15km breeze, so I’ll paint ‘em before autumn storms roll in.
So it’s delightful to have a couple balls of pizza doughs for easy dinners. Tonight’s: pistachio, red onion, rosemary. #food #cooking

@345f651a Spanish rice uses saffron. Mexican rice uses chili powder and cumin.
They’re not the same recipe. They are defined by their national flavour profiles.
To say the Mexican rice is Spanish and that they’re interchangeable is ignorant in more than one way.
Food is political in every way anyhow. Tariffs, lobbyists.
If you’re a food blogger who has ever said “Spanish rice” and “Mexican rice” are the same, you should be ashamed of yourself.
I can’t believe how many Mexican rice recipes are described as Spanish rice.
Spanish rice uses saffron.
Mexican rice is spicy.
Spain was a colonial oppressor of Mexico for hundreds of years and murdered millions.
Stop sounding ignorant. If you don’t KNOW if there is a difference, look it up. #food #cooking #history #intelligence
@3ab2edaa@7f37caf9@91d3ed96 then game writers should fight for more because the entire industry is built on their work.
Taking away from writers of films because others haven’t fought for what they deserve is silly.
Film is a $150 billion industry, if not more, and NONE of it exists without writers. Period.
