I happened to open up youtube unlogged in and the Algorithm decided I needed to see this, the trailer for Thai BL show “Cat for Cash”.
A man who inherits his dead mother’s cat cafe has an enemies to lovers arc with the man to whom he owes money to needed to keep the cafe open, who… well, I won’t spoil it.
It’s all very silly, idk if I will ever watch this show, but the trailer definitely brightened my morning.
I was tagged in a get to know your mutuals post by @hmasfatty
favorite color: Blue, and sometimes purple.
currently reading: Steering the Craft, a guide to writing by Ursula K Leguin. It’s good, I should get back to it!
last song: See above. Since it’s been in my head lately. Metaphorical suicide warning, kinda?
most recent film: Persuasion 1995. My husband Cam hadn’t watched/read any versions of the story so I showed him my favourite adaptation, he found it a bit confusing and slow but really fell for the characters, and and I enjoyed watching again. He then went off by himself and watched the 2007 movie (which he found easier to follow but too shallow and conventional) and 2024 movie (WORSE EVEN THAN HE EXPECTED)
most recent series: Watching and enjoying Murderbot!
sweet/salty/savory: A mix of both though not at the same time. Gimme a big pile of roast beef followed by some cake.
tea or coffee: Tragically can’t drink either of them any more, but I used to be more of a tea person. I do like coffee flavoured desserts though.
working on: Games, and my eternal 3Q fanfic for Jack Jeanne.
Me reading polyamory fic: Why is everyone so well adjusted? Where’s the 3 way mutual pining and drama??
Me writing polyamory fic: OH GOD JUST GET OVER YOUR ISSUES IT’S BEEN SO MANY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF WORDS AND YOU’RE STILL SUCH MESSES
Tagging: Anyone who’s interested, but let’s ACTUALLY TAG PEOPLE and pick the last 3 mutuals from my notifications: @spicyjellydonut @pedanther and @liz-squids
okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:
look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly
i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.
putting some of my saved recipes under a read more for people to use as inspiration or a starting point ❤️
here’s a few more:
when my sib was little, my mom put pumpkin in everything. puffy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
one thing that stayed a beloved food we’ve kept all these years as a thanksgiving fave was pumpkin crescent rolls.
- 1 pkg active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- ½ cup
shorteningbutter is great- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 5 to 6 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in the pumpkin, shortening, sugar, egg, salt, and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side of dough up. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until double, about one hour. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
Grease cookie sheets.
Punch down dough. Divide it into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a 12 inch circle on a floured surface. Spread margarine on circle. Cut into twelve wedges. Roll up the wedges tightly, starting at the rounded edges. Place rolls on a greased cookie sheet with points down. Curve slightly. Let rise until double, 30-45 minutes.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
originally from a Betty Crocker holiday cookbook. We used butter rather than shortening. forever making 2x and 3x batches they’re so fucking good I spend like a month having a carefully rationed hoard of them for breakfast with eggnog every year.
As someone who has limited energy and can’t eat cheese, two simple go-tos are tinned corn fritters, and adding veggie puree to cake mix instead of butter. These two ingredient cookies work with cooked sweet potato for those of us without access to tinned pumpkin:
