My Kitchen Alchemy

A diary of everything I've baked or cooked interspersed with random fangirling of the Sherlock BBC, Avengers, Hawkeye and more fandom stuff. Chaos gremlin, chaos reblogs, chaos posts. I'm not doing much #2am baking these days because of my new promotion but if you do get around to using my recipes or was inspired by the recipes I used, please be kind and drop a dollar in my Ko-Fi fund! I'd ever be so grateful! XD Update: the newspaper closed up on New Year's 2021 and I'm still without a stable job. Anyone needs a proofreader

Dishwasher flooded the kitchen this morning.

Washing machine just flooded the basement.

They are on separate lines so it's two separate issues.

We've reached the point where we're eyeing very obvious murder houses with visible splatter patterns still on the walls like, "oh, what a bargain" because it'd cost less to buy and remodel a murder house than it would to fix the ongoing issues in this house.

And like, exorcisms are free if you ask the church so....

do not taste plants if you don't know what they are

do not identify a fruit as edible just because it tastes sweet

hope you didn't eat any fucking seeds, bro

And today, we have this winner:

I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...

In comments, they continue:

and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:

So just as a reminder, folks. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your fucking mouth!

YOU GODDAMN STUPID MOTHERFUCKER

Younger people, one thing I want you to understand about Millenials is that, overall, our parents taught their daughters to aim for careers and employment, but they didn't teach their sons to keep house. This causes a whole lot of Situations.

health isn't a virtue.

[bebsi-cola]

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

Bound: The Devoted Gentleman by @fluffyunderneath

This is one of those fics that I loved so much that I knew I was going to bind it as soon as I finished it. Especially since I'd recently created a typeset for Persuasion that I knew would work perfectly for this fic.

Some new techniques I used for this bind:

First time I did a cutout on the cover. I wanted to have it peek through the end papers but I just could not figure out how to do it. So I decided to mount the art on the backside of the cover and then hide it behind the endpapers.

First time I speckled the edges! It's not nearly as messy as I thought it'd be, but I do have an extreme aversion to the texture of toothbrush bristles, so I had to be a grown up and get over it, because it is the easiest way to do these.

The endpapers on my bind were made by my beautiful and lovely friend @maleekamolscreates, and the ones I used for Fluffy's bind are my beloved Ink Drops cardstock.

I used white HTV for the lettering on my copy, but silver on the author copy (which now I wish I'd used on mine, but no big deal.)

The gorgeous art was made by @substellaris, commissioned by @upon-poppyhills.

I'm super happy about this bind, but the best part is that I didn't accidentally title it "The Distinguished Gentleman" like my brain really really wanted me to.
