Yesterday I went grocery shopping with the guy I’m staying with, and it was so fun it felt like a trip in itself, lol.
That one french fry in the bag that’s been overcooked to the point of crunchiness.
My cats sleeping in a ridiculous position.
The same boobs I’ve seen 10,000 times.
The rain, the moon, getting to snuggle my wife…
I like to wash dishes…
Boobs. Sunsets. The smell of the desert after rain. Big rain storms. A clear starry night. Lever action rifles. Gelato. Boobs. Nice bourbon. Eating something I made myself that takes more then 24 hours, like sourdough, beer, hot sauce, pickles, etc.
Trees, flowers, nature, dogs, cats, all animals basically.
It’s like my human soul yearns for a basic connection with reality that has been abstracted away by modern society.
I always thought it was cool how you could go from one very specific location to another very specific location very far away with just a few relatively simple directions.
Sunsets, a good breeze, sitting in a window with the sun on me, not the cold but being bundled up and warm when it’s cold out, bird sounds, extra rooty trees, puffy clouds, whispy clouds, people laughing, backyard rodents livin they lives, old cars, car maintenance, well figured pieces of wood, cooking, cooking with others, running errands with friends
Seeing birds outside. And froggies. And rats. And honestly any other critter.
Wild flowers. I’m about to make dandelion wine, and, later, poppy jelly.
Please update with a tutorial post. I love me anything with dandelions!
Roughly: 1 liter freshly-picked dandelions flowers. (No stems or green stuff. Pour 1 liter boiling water. Two days in a dark place. Strain. Add 1 lemon and 1 orange, quartered, 250g sugar. Boil for 30 minutes
Wait til it’s back to room temperature and add 10ml yeast.
Cover with cloth, wait 1 month (stir every day)
Strain (cheesecloth or sth very fine) Glass bottle. Wait 3 months before driking. Burp the bottle often, otherwise BOOOOOM.
I’m sure you already know, but for those playing at home a balloon or condom with a hole poked in it as a lid negates the need to burp and the colder it is the more slowly it ferments :)
Thanks homie!
Had a girl I was dating tell me she loved my excitement for little things I was finding in an Asian grocery store. Yeast balls, twice fermented soy sauce, oyster sauce, fresh enoki mushrooms. I like cooking and eating and I guess ingredients are my happy place.
I’ve been kind of obsessed with taking photos of utility poles lately.
That’s cool. I wonder what mundane things I should start photographing. I like storm water drains, maybe those.
Hell yeah
I made peanut butter at home last night. Both batches came out great.
It really is pretty darn simple. I buy normal roasted peanuts at the store, then grind them up in a Vitamix (think blender, but on steroids), then add a pinch of flavors to taste.
I like a lot to use white clean clothing.
I had a hard time thinking about this one. I figured that I didn’t consider anything too mundane to get excited about. I’m just grateful for everything, for every moment of peace and happiness I get.
Putting a small amount of heavy cream and stevia in with my coco wheats. Pairs nicely with a hardboiled egg and an orange.
