The Embodiment of RED @thraeryn@thraeryn.net

Last night's AEW Dynamite was an amazing show for many reasons,

including THIS MAN, who once performed in *North Carolina*! 🤣

(eye contact)

Candy corn.

Sugar and edible wax.

Why, that sounds very much like a honeycomb, hm?

(Fumblemuggins.)

In conclusion,

✅ My dad was a really lazy cook
✅ I didn't eat much really GOOD food until maybe my second live-in relationship
✅ Thank fuck for real chefs on the 'net making fine recipes as accessible as they do

Still amazing. Finished that plate, had to get a second.

It's everything my dad ever wanted a slow cooker stew to be, that such a thing never could be bc
✅ lack of pre-cook browning
✅ stew instead of braising
✅ friggin' slow cooker
✅ trying to keep the veggies from the mirepoix around like they're worth anything
✅ potatoes 🙄 (I made mashed as a side rather than try to shove 'em in this)

Last night's braised short ribs,

TODAY

And now I think it's time to enter a food coma

Okay, dinner was amazing.

The braised boneless short rib was wonderful, especially with the jus

The garlic mashed potatoes were my first from scratch and near perfect

The green beans weren't special, but were quite solid

and everyone was very pleased ❤️

before I ate, I was in the kitchen saying random strings of letters & numbers as I hurried to prepare some hot dogs :P

My buddies.

After being reminded of a task I forgot,
dealing with getting an old scanner working with my Linux install,
scanning a bunch of photos,
waiting too long to eat lunch,
and mildly stressing the whole time about what I'll cook tonight,

I am very rickety, and almost a shambles

I'll be so glad to finally have a drink in my hand & ingredients on my cutting board, music filling the kitchen

I'm torn

It's hard to imagine how something ground to a powder and added to sweet would be that objectionable

and

I hate arachnids, and would flip not just my own, but all the shits around me if I heard a confection was made with them

For the Homestar Runner character, see List of Homestar Runner characters § Marzipan. 🤣

@witchfynder_finder @stitchandsew

Yep, (ground) almond (meal) and sugar/honey

which sounds a lot better than I ever imagined the stuff would actually be?

@zigg

This is my favorite thing this second. 👍🏼

I did it, I made dinner despite the sloth

Time to sloth
