Why have I been buying hot dog buns for sausages WHEN I CAN MAKE TORTILLAS FOR SAUSAGE WRAPS.

I really need to remember these things. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna lose my Mexican Abuelita license.

If learning to make tortillas makes me an abuelita, does having this hard candy make me a granny?

Auntie?

Thoughts Before Bed

In the last 48 hours, decisions have been made, decisions have been accepted, and futures have been plotted.

It's going to be a rough road the next few years. But I have good fam around me, good allies supporting us, and if we can make it through this, we will.

But it's gonna be rough.

Watch this space.

So, I stumbled across some videos of James May back in the Covid Era making sandwiches he had as a boy in the 70s. The number one thing I noticed? He buttered the bread. Every time.

I don't do that. I use mayo and mustard, but I don't butter the bread (unless I'm toasting it, and even then, I butter the OUTSIDE).

Do you butter your bread? And if so, where are you located?

So, in an attempt to temporarily escape the nightmare of the last few weeks, I worked on updating the bed in EmuVR. Looking online, I was super surprised to find the actual pillow cases I had in the 80s, AND that the photo was totally texture ready.

The bedspread was harder to find, so I simply grabbed my current comforter, took a pic of that, and textured the bed with it. I have a thing for warm reds and browns....

All the comforts of my home in the 90s. Gonna need it for when I upload my brain to the cloud to escape the horrors of meatspace.

Where's Mr. Scott when you need him....

Ice Cream #3 - Finally. Teaberry.

And all my frozen cream is out of the freezer. Thawing cream from frozen is wierd. It never liquefies and stays chunky solid. Until you start to stir it. Then it literally melts back into cream.

Dairy is WIERD.

So, my Holy Basil plant is doing quite well. Tons of leaves, and a bug I can't seem to catch that is nibbling on some of them. Not sure how I should start harvesting the leaves, but there's enough there to make any food I make with it very happy.

I love how his stems are reaching out for the sun.
