Dandelions Lie

Dandelions are flimsy things... When we're little, we pick them, blow on them, and let the wind carry away our hopes and our dreams in those little tiny balls of fluff... But dandelions are liars. You can't depend on the wind. You can't depend on your breath. You can only depend on the sharp stones beneath your feet... Those are the only things that will ever really get you anywhere. I have anxiety, OCD, dermotillomania, arithomania, fibromyalgia, an eating disorder, self harm disorder, and depression. But these things do not define me. I'm trying. I am getting better. I will be strong again. *message me for my poetry blog, as this will be my main blog*

the language of the flowers as a concept is so romantic. say things with a bouquet, with a handful of petals, with a single blossom representing your devotion

human brain: sometimes we need to do boring things with no gratification or immediate benefit

monkey brain: absolutely not. die

Human brain: ok what if we eat chips while we do the boring thing

monkey brain: I’m suspicious but keep talking

a singular scuit. just one.

an edible cracker with just one side. mathematically impossible and yet here I am monching on it.

[brunhiddensmusings]

‘scuit’ comes from the french word for ‘bake’, ‘cuire’ as bastardized by adoption by the brittish and a few hundred years ‘biscuit’ meant ‘twice-baked’, originally meaning items like hardtack which were double baked to dry them as a preservative measure long before things like sugar and butter were introduced. if you see a historical doccument use the word ‘biscuit’ do not be fooled to think ‘being a pirate mustve been pretty cool, they ate nothing but cookies’ - they were made of misery to last long enough to be used in museum displays or as paving stones

‘triscuit’ is toasted after the normal biscuit process, thrice baked thus the monoscuit is a cookie thats soft and chewy because it was only baked once, not twice

behold the monoscuit/scuit

Why is this called a biscuit:

[brunhiddensmusings]

when brittish colonists settled in the americas they no longer had to preserve biscuits for storage or sea voyages so instead baked them once and left them soft, often with buttermilk or whey to convert cheap staples/byproducts into filling items to bulk out the meal to make a small amount of greasy meat feed a whole family. considering hardtack biscuits were typically eaten by dipping them in grease or gravy untill they became soft enough to eat without breaking a tooth this was a pretty short leap of ‘just dont make them rock hard if im not baking for the army’ but didnt drop the name because its been used for centuries and people forgot its french for ‘twice baked’ back in the tudor era, biscuit was just a lump of cooked dough that wasnt leavened bread as far as they cared thus the buttermilk biscuit and the hardtack biscuit existed at the same time. ‘cookies’ then came to america via german and dutch immigrants as tiny cakes made with butter, sugar/molasses, and eggs before ‘tea biscuits’ as england knew them due to the new availability of cheap sugar- which is why ‘biscuit’ and ‘cookie’ are separate items in america but the same item in the UK the evolution of the biscuit has forks on its family tree
