This week's meal was
(1) a complete miscalculation: I bought 1 1/2 pounds of bone-in pork loins making me lose about a half pound in bone)
(2) overcooked: my meat thermometer says 170 is a safe temp for pork, but everywhere else says 145 and given that I made pork edible hockey pucks I'm going to assume 145 is right.
So we're not going to post that meal JUST yet. I'm going to redo it next week and hope it works better.
That said, ROYERS ROUND TOP CAFE's Peach'n'Pepper glaze is legit.
If cooking builds up a sweat, I'm calling that a work out.
This Week's Bread: Sadie's Bruschetta
A nice bread dish that's good hot, but sadly, doesn't keep well. Still tasty, just....it's no longer crunchy toasty.
I'd go with slightly less red onion, or slightly more salt (which is to taste, anyways). Never sure about that when dealing with red onion...my reaction to red onion is pretty strong for some reason.
# Sadie's Bruschetta
Cooking with JB & Jamie
1.0 whole tomato (diced)
0.5 whole red onion (diced)
10.0 leaves basil (chopped)
1.0 tbsp garlic (minced)
salt (to taste)
olive oil
1.0 whole loaf french bread
1.0 pound fresh mozzarella (sliced)
balsamic reduction
1 - Mix together tomato, onion, basil, garlic and salt.
2 - Let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes (we recommend one hour or more) to bring out the best flavor.
3 - Spread a little olive oil on slices of French bread.
4 - Toast bread and cut into squares.
5 - Place toasted bread on a platter and top with mozzarella.
6 - Top with a spoonful of tomato mixture and drizzle with balsamic reductions.
Drawing the "Fashion Plates" I've done so far, only one has been particularly feminine. I've gotten asked about that over the years. I worked so hard to transition, why don't I "revel" in that?
To be honest, I've had it beaten out of me. I love dresses and skirts and nice blouses...but I wear those out in public and I just get harassed and laughed at. And after a while, I toned everything way back just to be able to function in society.
I do dress fairly feminine for occasions where I need to wear something nice. Otherwise, it's pretty androgynous, wether I want to or not.
I have a much more feminine wardrobe in Second Life, cause I look exactly as I want to there, and no one makes me the evening's entertainment.

The experience of transition is a lot of little things, hundreds of tiny interactions that tell me that treating my gender incongruence was the right decision. This morning was the non-event of choosing a simple cotton dress from my closet, looking over the seams to orient it properly, and feeling a spark of joy as I toss the wide end of the skirt over my head and swim through the open V-neck on the other side. I love wearing this, and I get to do it every day. I've been doing this every day for over a year and it still makes me smile.

Here's some tips for all the newcomers on here:
-Introduce yourself by announcing who your least favorite professional badminton player is. It is standard.
-If you wish to verify your account, please upload a picture of your face to confirm that you are not James Corden. James is not allowed on here.
-Socialize by finding one person and commenting "others may judge you for this, but it does not make me respect you any less" on every single one of their posts.

With the enshittification of search engines & the boom in craptastic AI word-vomit machines, I'm starting to wonder if we should go back to making old-school public listings of our favorite sites, especially other ones created by actual humans and with actual valid knowledge contained on them?
Or maybe more librarians could catalog the web for us, since they're pretty expert at that kind of thing.
Because the machine-driven systems we've built are just... *bad*.

Conversation between me and my best beloved:
Kate: Well, I do sometimes behave like a 12 year old.
Kathryn: I wouldn't say a 12 year old, you sometimes behave like an 18 year old.
Kate: I'm not sure that's a compliment...
Kathryn: [Long silence]

Just found out the Garfield mug I've had since I was a kid has cadmium in it and is thus is notably radioactive and I've never been more excited to own something potentially deadly.
