Homemade cheese buns!

Made with charred broccoli and onion (made into a paste), using a pork broth base instead of water, cheese cubes mixed throughout, and with the pork fat rendered out and mixed with canola oil added in before forming (and on the tins).

Just a touch charred on the top from overzealous broiling, but they smell incredible.

In order: after kneading (pre-rise), post-rise (hand for scale), after scoring, adding more cheese on top, and the final product.

#really happy with how they came out #we've been making more buns with leftover broths which are great for the ladies so they can get more nutrients and fats and proteins #but it also gives me an excuse to flex my baking and learn more about making complex buns and breads #if only smell-o-vision existed #alienfood #alienwords

This is a long-shot, but does anyone happen to remember a painting of a wizard at a dining room table, drinking beer (I think?) and looking at the viewer as if caught in the act? The lighting was very sharp above the table and very dark otherwise.

#our new lightshade makes our table feel very sharp lly lit and it weirdly reminded me of it #my searches have thus far been fruitless #alienwords

I find it fascinating to reread an old sci-fi novel and see neopronouns for a character in ways that are almost right in terms of modern grammar usage.

Using Hir for every pronoun placement instead of Shi/Hir is certainly a choice, even moreso in 1987.

#but to even See neopronouns for a character (albeit an alien) in an older sci-fi book that is doing hir justice? incredible #the book is 'From a Changeling Star' by Jeffrey A. Carver #I'm fond of the way he writes aliens in particular #(though fair warning: it's still a book from the 80s so. y'know. table salt.)#alienwords

I do love being forced to jump through hoops with multiple phone calls (exacerbating my phone anxiety) to eventually find out my benefits were cut off without notice (not even an email, let alone a letter), and that I now have to appeal (more labor) to have them reinstated, despite nothing having changed in my situation

"You may be disabled, but you're going to have to work through that to constantly prove it to us"

Hey, yeah, can you come pick up your knight? Yeah, no, it- it,'s fine, it's just been really distraught and trying to protect people all night. Really harshing the vibe.

Yeah, we tried to give it some space but then it thought it was being shunned and started making a..."cat-o-nine-tails"? Out of cutlery to atone or whatever.

It's- no, yeah, it's good for now but it's like, locked itself in the bathroom as penance, I guess? Can you come by and like, act distressed so it can come save you?
