Today, I likely has my payment issue resolved, we had our last Cultural Commission meeting for the year (which I'll talk about soon), and my writing workload significantly lightened, so I spent my evening playing some old school favorites.

Not shown: Star Trek for the Atari 2600. Got to Sector 4.3!

Ice Cream #2 - Oreo Ice Cream.

I'd wanted cookies and cream, but I saw that this was supposed to be Oreo flavored ice cream and decided I'd make it to burn off some of my frozen cream.

So while putting the recipe together, I gave it a good look.

THERE IS A FULL CUP OF SUGAR IN THIS THING. And also the recipe mentions that this will take a while to firm up to a soft serve consistency, and will need time in the freezer to really be ice cream. I THINK THAT'S BECAUSE OF ALL THE SUGAR.

It's powerfully sweet. I think I could probably half that sugar, maybe a quarter. The Oreos themselves are sweet. At 15g per serving I can eat a spoonful. Maybe a spoonful and a half.

But I CAN eat a spoonful....

One of the nice things about VR is it allows me to be something I was never in meat-space: A (virtual) Cute Patootie.

I HAVE A JAWLINE THERE!

Ice Cream #1 Made: Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream.

Well, more like Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cream. The strawberries aren't in season, and the mixture of lemon juice, honey and sugar is supposed to sit for 15-20 minutes to extract out the strawberry flavor. I did it for 15 minutes which is fine...but it wasn't ENOUGH strawberry flavor.

Still, Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cream isn't bad.

I love the voting system here in Washington State. It's convenient, easy, allows you time to research, and early voting is simply the default. And then you get messages letting you know whereyour ballot is in the process.

Wish they all could do it like we do.

Maybe you should ask for it.

When you gotta use the bathroom, but don't want to miss any of the lunchtime gossip...

"Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came...."

FINALLY getting around to watching Star Trek: Lower Decks, and...uh...I think I'm in love with Kita. ❤

I'm not a doomsday prepper or anything. But I'm set if there is.

I bought these a few years back as part of a planned taste test article I was gonna do on the website before my life kind collapsed.

And honestly, they've fed me when power goes out or I ran out of grocery money.

And the first box is packed....

Not as impressive as the big 4K TV, but it's a working TV.

Funny that a ten year old 720p TV I've been trying to get rid of for years lasted longer than than the four year old high end one.

One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things just doesn't belong.
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish this song?

You heathens may keep your so called candy corn. I for one am a person of impeccable taste.

So plants go through puberty? Cause...my guy got BUFF.

Have you tried the Shrimp?

Looking at this picture in #resonite reminds me of something a furry there told me (not in a bad way) when I just started using that new avatar:

"You know, you can be anything you want here. You don't HAVE to be human."
"I'm as close to what I want to be in this."

I love how welcoming everyone has been there, regardless of species. 🙂
