Twyla's proposition, revealed! And the dragon's horny counter-proposition.

Kitchen Appliance stuff 

I really need to get an actual dedicated slicer, everyone here loves thin sliced meat and being able to .5m-10mm cuts would be great.

But an actual commercial grade slicer is pricey and for something like a 25cm slicer, I'm not sure I trust a retail grade appliance.

Plus my poor 15 year old food processor is showing it's age. Can't sharpen the cutting bits, plastic is getting worn and loose and holy shit they really don't make food appliances like they used to looking at various reviews... and holy fuck commercial grade food processors are pricey.

Food prep, woes of delivery groceries 

Welp.. safeway delivery went ~$40 over the estimate because of substitutions for items with no substitution marked...

Except it wasn't actually a substitution. It was that the 4-6lb value packs of untrimmed tri-tip where 8-9lbs.

So I have 17lbs of tri tip instead of ~10lbs

Normally I trim it before cooking but after putting everything away there wasn't really space for another 8lbs of tri-tip and I didn't feel like spending 30 minutes trimming two fucking huge cuts, so I dry rubbed two of them untrimmed, one with my traditional blend of minced garlic, pepper, rock salt & onion and the other with blacken seasoning.

Gonna crisp that fat!

Then probably put them through the slicer on the food processor and we'll have lunch meat for a week.

A helpful pair of sharks just reminded me that today, the 17th of April, is @fluxom_alt Appreciation Day!

Everyone please remember to heap as much love and support and appreciation upon Sprinkles as local laws will allow, and then slide more of that love, support, and/or appreciation under the door where the law can't see it.

I just spent a half an hour designing a seal for a fictional coven of horny witches, then turning it into a lower back tattoo for its members to wear, how's your Sunday morning going?

The problem with time travel isn't that you change the past. Do that, the future is changed, and you find yourself in the now, momentarily confused.
The problem is that for some reason to-do lists are not affected.
Why did I think I needed to "peel sacrificial potatoes"?

Dragons who are librarians 

-Always know of some strange, obscure tome that is exactly the book you need (regardless of whether it's the book you want.)

-Return books late or damaged at your peril, though.

-When you're walking through the immense shelves, and you see something in the dim light ahead hanging down in front of the books. You approach. Suddenly, as you get close, you realize it's a huge, scaly tail. You follow it with your gaze up to the top of the shelf to see a pair of glowing eyes staring back at you.
"You'll want to take a right at the end of this row," the dragon says. "Then go three rows down and turn left." The tail retracts back up into the shadows above the books, and with a sudden, fluid movement, the dragon is gone.
You never actually told the dragon what you were looking for.

-"Oh you don't need a library card." *growling chuckle* "I will remember your scent."

rice is all done.. tossed some home made sweet-hot pepper relish in my bowl with it..

Verdict: Tasty!

Damn.. kinda wish I'd made a roux to thicken it up... or had some okra.. either one of those would be like the only think of to make it tastier!

Oops. I accidentally made "red" creole when just tossing some cajun chicken thighs, peppers, onions, tomatoes, sausage and celery into a skillet...
At least what my family called "shrimp" or red creole when I was a kid.

we should replace the phrase "gig economy" with "parasitic capital"

I've to talk about my amazing food enhancement condiment.. made from scratch but... the ingredients are a SECRET (because I'm a heathen that doesn't measure and because pickle pepper companies are like "PEPPERS" as the ingredients!)

But it's like carmelized sweet onions, roasted red peppers, jalapenos, some itty bitty hot pickled yellow peppers, jalapenos, hot cherry peppers, sweet cherry peppers all tossed into the food processor and made into relish like texture of delicious sweet and hot.

transhumanism 

yes, let me be the cybord dragongirl with cool hologram bits and gosh look at that tail

but also actually gonna be honest. The "eat a pill that its an entire day's of calories" or the "turn this protein paste into lines of code" meme actually also sound appealing.... as a bonus, not an end goal <_<

It seems very appropriate that 22-2-22 fell on a 2sday.

They call them "mammaries" because having them make people want to call you "ma'am".

brain bad 

Bleh. Bad brain. Feel like I wasted my day.
4 hours writing a thing I'm not gonna finish or do anything with.
1 hour transcribing from my brain a recipe (Actually useful)
1 hour dinner prep (okay yeah yeah)
It's 6pm. And dark. Day over!

Messed up the ratios for my jambalaya and was making in a smaller pot than normal. Didn't have room for the rice.. ended up draining 8 cups of liquid from the 6qrt pot with all the meat, veggies and stuff in and cooking the rice separate in that. Came out pretty tasty. I could mix it all together properly now but this way the rice won't get soggy either.

just a gender grumble, not really much 

The fact so many cis people just had a gender handed to them and said "yeah. this fits" is baffling to me.

It would be like just walking into a store and buying the first shirt in your size and walking out.

H...how the fuck does someone do that?

Ugh... me today. I want to talk and hang out. My voice today. Hey your throat is all dry and here is you losing you voice. Also brain, remember we have pathfinder tonight, that requires a lot of talking.
Me... okay I guess today is a day of quietly drinking warm tea.
