Last Boost: I really did have this issue in school. I never ever understood what they meant by show your work. I did the work in my head/fingers. How do I show you that?

As I got older, I realized they wanted me to go through the process on paper, but as I'm a finger counter, that wasn't always doable. IT took many years before I found a way to "show the work" while still counting on fingers.

Finally, the pile of dishes and messy kitchen from two weeks of flu and two weeks of a pinched nerve is DONE. I'm so happy given the pinched nerve had not gone away (but has gotten better), and if I can just keep up with the kitchen, it shouldn't result in weeks of working while I can to clean it.

"Witness the blood moon's rise. When its red glow shines upon the land the aimless spirits of slain monsters return to flesh. Just as they did in a war long past. The world is threatened once again."

"Listen, roomie, laundry isn't gonna do itself."

So I ended up trying to make Seattle style Teriyaki, but didn't have any rice wine vinegar. I substituted apple cider vinegar, and then I was short on soysauce (only having a half cup, when I needed a cup). It was 2AM, everything was closed, so I just went with it.

I ended up making some sort of apple flavored stir-fry and I can't actually tell if I like it or not. It's not bad. But I can't tell if it's good or not....

@Salimonyous - I try to make a nice bread every week or two. Like my homemade tortillas this last week, or the struan bread I made a couple of weeks before. I find it a nice cheap luxury. :)

I kinda want to make three nice meals, but I don't think my neck will allow me to. Might go with one nice meal, one nice bread and two easy to make meals, but, honestly, I want three nice meals. :)

I found a complete list of recipes you can make in Tears of the Kingdom, and now I want some of this stuff. :D

Whoever set Seattle weather back to December, please fix the thermostat.

I love that this is a lounge jazz song about dogs on the street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuTNwBIhNQc

Dish Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope

All my dishwashable dishes are done. All that's left is hand washing the ones that can't go in the dishwasher. It's taken almost two weeks to clear all that out between the flu and the pinched nerve....

Suddenly craving Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. I don't suppose someone could open a branch up here in the PNW?

Lyrics Before Bed:

Open up my heart to show you the bigger guy
Out flies a bumblebee and a butterfly

What can I make with left over (uncooked) chicken breast, pork belly and shrimp?

2023: You're laid off.
Jenn: Okay, not a problem. I'll get some creative work done while I wait on interviews.
2023: Like hell you will....

@irenes@mastodon.social - It was a lot of fun, trying to figure out what kind of underlying pizza it was.

The more I looked at it, the more I realized it was a "Margherita Pizza" without the basil, and with bell pepper rings and onions.

Then came a matter of "okay, how much of X and Y do I need to make." I have a pizza dough recipe I've used before (it's less of a bready pizza, and more of a thin crisp-ish crust), and as I started preparing it, I shifted from six small pizzas to two larger three-sliced pizzas, so things changed there.

But other than useing smaller toamtoes next time, and putting the mozzarella on LAST (which would look less like the in game pizza, but would "hold" the ingredients better), it came out as intended. :D
