tyger( Home improvement project aftermath related grump. Damnit Sibling. )
But! I also made curry this evening! Pretty pleased with it, yesss. The chicken ribs are good, too! They have the whole rib bones in them, unlike with pork ribs where they're chopped up the other way, so they're pretty easy to eat. Might have had them before, in like, korean fried chicken or whatever? Not sure though, the rib bones are pretty distinctive and I don't THINK I have.
Other than that... nothing much! Will need to step up on the whole getting my shit together/tidied up things though I just realised there's only a couple of days before my parents are home now! At least I've kept up with the kitchen, despite my hatred of dishes...
ursamajorThough of course, out here on the West Coast, getting ahold of actual Fluff is more difficult; when supermarkets have jarred marshmallow product, it's usually Kraft's Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme, which is more liquidy. ... hold on, I can get a two-pack of Marshmallow Fluff from my local Cost Plus?! As in the same Cost Plus where my mom used to buy us Botan candy to keep us occupied while she looked at household decor? ROFL.
Of course I ended up down the merch wormhole with my search results; I'd rather have it as a long-sleeve tee, but I love the logo on this What the Fluff sweatshirt from the Fluff Festival. 20th annual this year! Pairs well with this Ice Cream Weather hoodie from Gracie's just across the square that I've been meaning to pick up for years now. As well as my What a Cluster! tee. And now I want Goo Goo Clusters and Marshmallow Fluff. At least Moon Pies have made their way to the Bay? I can get those at my local CVS sometimes now.
Cherry on top of all this internet wormholing: while trying to figure out if Fluff was sold in any grocery stores local to me (besides Walmart, ugh), I stumbled across their recipe section, and amusingly enough, one of their most popular recipes is Lynne's Cheesecake. I swear I didn't submit it - the recipe looks like a New York cheesecake recipe, and I strongly prefer my cheesecakes burnt Basque or Japanese cotton style. But now I'm thinking, maybe I should tackle a burnt Basque Fluff cheesecake. Though admittedly, on my cheesecake back burner, I also want to make a cheesecake with Poppy Bagels' truffle schmear, Wikipedia has just informed me of the existence of a smoked salmon cheesecake, and Kat Lieu just posted a SPAM Basque cheesecake. Time to reup our Lactaid stock!
And now, of course, I'm earwormed with the old-timey Fluffernutter jingle.
(Yeah, I know, an original Fluffernutter has no chocolate, but sprinkling some chocolate chips on top of one side and melting before assembly is pretty standard. Though IME hagelslag or vlokken work better, and of course you can also get hagelslag at Cost Plus, 😂.)
swaldmanI enjoyed the first two books of this series. I didn't think they were especially good, in a sense, but they were gripping and enjoyable.
This one flipped over to "ugh, no". I forced myself to finish it, but will not be looking out for the next installment. This series, like many others, has handled the need for escalation between volumes by increasing the scale and raising the stakes. We started off with one young woman's survival, and now we're dealing with world politics. But this simply isn't handled well.

tygerI went shopping again! I did. Uh. More shopping than I expected to, even though I didn't get many things? Like. I bought stuff from five different shops that is so many. (For me. I know some people enjoy shopping, but I find it exhausting.) Most of it was food, but I also got a new hairbrush (badly needed, my current one is losing tines and is kinda bald in patches now), plus like. Toothbrushes and stuff.
Didn't actually make curry tonight ( I am sleepy so I rambled about food stuff for. A bit. )
Uhhh what else. Did some washing! And some tidying up of the stuff from the floor job, plus moving shit back into here. I really need to get back onto pokemon, there should be another set of shinies out, plus a raid. I'll at least put it on the charger tonight before I pass out, that's a start...
Speaking of I should definitely get ready for bed now ugh it's 4am brains why are you like this.
