Huh, this stirs some memories about a cabbage, carrots and potato 'gruel'/stew our mother used to make when I was a kid in the early 90's. Our country was in bad economic depression at the time, and our family was having it hard. I remember hating it as a kid.
I think I'm gonna improvise a pot of something similar in the weekend, maybe I'll appreciate it more nowdays.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm just embracing my inner peasant in this ever increasing modern techno-feudalistic worldscape.
Yep, nostalgia is a powerful thing. We used to eat it with vanilla sugar as kids, that works wonderfully well too imho.
My fancy peasant's gruel. Semolina gruel that turned into porridge like consistency (see I can afford the wheat, no need to water it down) with cut up wiener pieces in it. I'm sometimes fancy like this.
How many security guards can one of these assholes have on duty at any one time?
Dont y'all have assault rifles and semiautomatics on you at all times and you are all about being against tyranny? WHAT GIVES?
Little over four years smokeless for me too, after 20 years of smoking. High five for the quitter crew!
Sadly I still get cravings almost weekly.
Started reading The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan as my new fiction book. Surprised that it seems pretty good for vampire fiction (though admittedly I have limited experience with the genre), at least the first 50'sh pages.
As my non fiction I just finished reading Schools and styles of Anthropological Theory, ed. Matei Candea. Good enough brief overview of the development and larger discourses affecting anthropology as a discipline.
Probably not flying, though.
Thats Googles fault. Firefox has an user agent switcher -addon. Flip it there to appear as Chrome, and suddenly Youtube bufferring problems drastically lessen.
Also if you are in EU, consider making a complaint about this assholish and anti-competetive behaviour to your country's competition/trade authority. Also EU's, if you feel like being an extra responsible EU citizen. These assholes at Google need to be fined to extinction.
Typically I have multiple books going on at the same time for varietys sake, usually fiction and some-non fiction.
Right now I have besides me as my non-fiction choice; "Baltic Cities - Perspectives on urban and regional change in the Baltic sea area", ed. Martin Åberg & Martin Peterson.
As my fiction book I'm nearing the end of "Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson.
On special occasions I grind coffee beans with a small wooden frame coffee grinder my grandparents got as wedding present sometime in the 1930's. Made and gifted for the couple by the grooms brother.
This might be obvious to you, but dont buy HP laptops. I've twice been tempted by the cheap price, twice I've been burned. Cant wait till this current piece of shit croaks and I have an excuse to buy something stable and without endless amount of bloatware.
A pain hook (self-use massage device for the neck and back) made from a pine branch. Snoopy-like dog appeared from the branch while whittling, hence the name.
Lightly stained with walnut colour stain and a light beeswax layer on top of that so it feels smooth on the skin. Handle made from old repurposed leather belt strips.
These pain hooks are an old Finnish and Karelian thing for massaging one's neck and back, and I was wondering if these sort of self-care "devices" are known and in use in other cultures?
At least part of it survives. Better some than none.
