Somewhere Under The Rainbow

29 she/her annoyed I can’t have an icon and header because I’ve been here since before the adult content purge and was too lazy to purge my blog so now I’m barred from personalising. Which is dumb because my icon and header were cute and not nudes.

Imagine that one day as you're walking on a hot sunny path, your hat jumps off your head and lands into a muddy ditch. And you look at your muddy hat and ask it: "What did you do that for?"

"I don't want to be a burden anymore", your hat answers. "You are always carrying me around, and I can't carry you. That's not fair."

"I don't mind carrying you, little idiot", you tell your hat, "you hardly weight anything at all, and you shelter me from the sun."

"But that's different", your hat protests. "I don't mind the sun scorching on me. That happens anyway. It's literally no trouble for me to shade you too."

"Just the same it's no trouble for me to carry you. But now, because you wanted to stop inconveniencing and bothering me, I am now hatless and you are in the dirt."

washing my hair tonight bc I fear I won't have the strength to do it in the coming days if I am overtaken by The Crud

[girlmuppet]

Do any of u have decent recipes that are like 5 ingredients (not including spices) and take 45 mins or less to prepare i gotta stop eating sandwiches for dinner

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

yeah hang on

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

ignore the title of this google doc because it's a long story but it's a really solid recipe for southwest chicken alfredo

this is a vegetarian potato curry recipe that's about 75% spices; once you get the potatoes in there you can really do whatever you want with it

this is literally just pasta, broccoli, and cheese babey and you can live off that shit for DAYS it makes such a big portion

bro this spinach/pesto/3 cheese flatbread is so fucking tasty bro

also you can make the flatbread yourself it's super quick!!

oh hey I'm eating this white chickpea chili right now, much like the curry it's mostly spices and you can do p much do whatever you want with it

don't let the name fool you these potatoes are delicious any time. not just breakfast.

this is slightly more than five ingredient when you add them together but if you have time and really wanna fuckin treat yourself I recommend these chicken strips + this cornbread + either these potatoes or these buttered veggies on the side.

These are my two favorite comfort foods. They're very easy to make and dont take long to cook.

Garlic butter rice

Orzo mac and cheese (comes out a little bit soupy)

[shadowblinder]

this recipe for gogumabap (sweet potato and rice) saved my life when i couldn't eat hardly anything for a long time. the recipe itself calls for a heavy bottomed pot but you can absolutely use a rice cooker and put the rice and diced sweet potato in together and just let the machine do its thing

Time for me to beat my little clown drum again for Indian-ish by Priya Krishna, aka The Easiest Recipes I Have Ever Fucking Made. Dal that takes 15 minutes. Easy aloo gobhi. Easy saag feta. Buy. Cook. Eat.

a fun fact i can post now: the glasgow subway ticket machines have had a little sticker added to them that says they don't accept the new king charles bank notes and if you have those you have to go to the counter to use them. i assume the keyword here is new and this is because the image-recognition of the cash machine can't for whatever reason be quickly updated to accept novel currency as legitimate. but frankly it's more fun to imagine the machines have refused to accept the transfer of power and are just straight up committing treason on purpose.

I love how you can put literally anything in the tags except for commas. You can have whole-ass ideas and thoughts and messages in there... Just not structured and coherent ones.

Another question for my tumblr census...

Do what you feel is most accurate, even if there is some nuance. If nothing feels accurate enough for you, do other.

Which describes you?

Cis man

Cis woman

Trans man

Trans woman

Nonbinary

Other

As this post moves out of horny gay male tumblr, cis woman has surged past cis man. Everything else has stayed relatively the same. That's my update as I watch this post

[teacupthesauceror-blog]

The non binaries have found the poll. Soon there will be none of you binary fuckers left

Ok look. I’m an Elder Millennial and I know we have our quirks but I honestly want to know something.

What is your favorite stove burner and why is it the front right one?

Because it’s the closest to the sink

I have no idea why, it’s just the best one

It’s not, it’s the front left

I’m a heathen and my favorite is the back right

I’m weird and it’s the back left

I’m bougie and have a middle burner and that’s my favorite

Why do you care?

I don’t have a favorite?

Other, and I’ve put it in the tags

if you spend your life bitching and complaining about the fact people are 'expected' to engage in the dreaded pointless banal '''small talk''' instead of learning to trade pleasantries with the people around you, you will never know the true and heady joy of doing a dumb bit with a complete stranger and as a result your soul will remain small

#my favorite bit is when i wear my wrist braces in public and someone asks if I got hurt#and I tell them something patently insane #'I got into a Kung Fu Battle with the local canada geese' insane #and realizing that We Are Playing A Game #they will Yes And me #'Oh yeah they've been taking lessons from the squirrels' they nod #and within two minutes the lady cutting my fabric at the quilt store and I have a whole bit about the urban animals all being in rival dojo #The grandma behind me chimes in that the fat raccoons under her porch must be doing Sumo

We have a recipe for the Olympic chocolate muffins!

[sconebutchbites]

For those who can't follow from the video (because it's a stupid fucking format for recipes). And including metric conversions.

Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Line/grease 6 muffin tins

3/4 cup/180ml milk

1/4 cup/60ml water

2 tsp espresso powder (will vary by brand but probably about 6g)

Simmer (don't boil)

Add

1/2 cup/40g coco powder

1/2 c/90g chocolate chunks (will vary by brand and I'm assuming 55-65% coco)

1/2 c/115g unsalted butter (the video says 1 stick butter which is a stupid fucking measurement that doesn't apply to 95% of the planet. 1 stick is 1/2 cup or 1/4 lb/112g)

Melt and stir. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

In a separate bowl combine

2 cups/240g flour (all purpose/plain)

1 tsp/4g baking powder

1/4 tsp/2g salt

Whisk and set aside.

To the chocolate mixture (if your pot is large enough and sufficiently cool there is no point making more dishes for yourself by transferring this to a bowl as well)

1/2 cup/100g brown sugar

1/2 cup/100g granulated sugar

1/4 cup/60ml neutral oil

1 tsp/5ml vanilla extract

2 eggs (probably large, room temperature, if your chocolate mixture is hot they will cook. Room temperature eggs keep your mixture from being cold when it goes in the oven.)

Whisk until smooth

Stir in 1/3 of flour mixture until smooth then fold in remaining mixture until just mixed (over mixing causes the muffins to be tough because of gluten activation)

(Honestly, if you want to avoid even more dishes, skip mixing the dry ingredients. Instead, stir the baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup/60g flour into the chocolate mixture then add the rest of the flour. The goal of premixing them is to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt without over mixing most of the flour.)

Fold in

1/3 cup/70g chocolate chunks (see above)

Distribute between muffin cups and bake for 24 minutes. (The person on video has done the food stylist thing of leaving some of the chunks out and placing them on top. This is not necessary but looks pretty)

Filling

Heat over low until just hot

1/2 cup/120ml heavy cream

Remove from heat and add

1/4 cup/45g dark chocolate (chunks, cut bar, whichever)

pinch salt

Stir until smooth. Allow the muffins to cool at least 15 minutes before filling. The method for filling is not displayed but most likely is piped in. At home, without a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag and cut the corner off (after filling the bag, don't be an idiot, this shit is runny).

@elodieunderglass a TRULY unusual offering!

[elodieunderglass]

Oh wow I’m obsessed with how the pillow end is supported. Is the whole thing cantilevered or is there a support of some kind…?

[pixalartantfarm]

I can’t find another good image of this bed but they did several abs seem to have a bar support at the back.

I cannot recommend looking at more of Les Lalanne designs enough.

this bar for instance

[homunculus-argument]

It's not that you become utterly oblivious to what is cool as you age. But once you turn like 30 you discover that cringe can be weaponised. You figure out how to deliberately compose a sentence that will make every under-20-year-old's internal organs scrunge from just hearing it, like you just cast a wizard spell.

ever since i was a little girl i've always wanted a hysterectomy

[murderballad]

It's weird that I always see the ghosts of Discourse but never the actual Discourse, like I just see people making salty posts about how "people always say x about y" but I've never actually seen anyone saying x. Is this even real?? Where is this happening???

[missingrache]

I call it the glass bottom boat experience of fandom discourse. Gliding along and occasionally catching glimpses of lovecraftian horrors just out of view.
