I am basically a kindergartener: give me a cup with a straw and a brand new pack of crayons, and I stop crying right away! On a related note, there is a disgraceful shortage of inpatient psych beds. So ima be hanging out in the "special" ER section until tomorrow...at least. (I'm safe and all - came here voluntary, also I like to scream my mental status to the heavens)

Oh, and nurses have their own version of kitchen goblets/wine glasses except this one is measured in cc.

100% true and in related news I'm not allowed to talk about Johnny Appleseed or even apples in general in group therapy anymore

having someone as a guest on your podcast who has just finished grad school & defended a thesis about the episode’s extremely niche topic is SO dangerous. The impulse to just. Become a human broken dam disaster of information seems irresistible. This guest is lovely and funny but they are turning this podcast episode into a complete hostage situation

From the archives of the Hyenoid Museum of Physical Culture:

Rattle composed of Yuan-ti vertebrae

Donated in honor of Gnaw-Gnaw, tribal matriarch

Nearly all cultures create images of their infants holding a symbolic representation of "baby". This object generally resembles a common infant accessory or toy created from a precious substance, in contrast to the mundane composition of its analogue. The Gnoll are no exception.

Within human culture, a silver rattle is a common heirloom. Among Bugbears, combs carved from precious ores are prized. Gnolls honor the hunting prowess of their tribemates by crafting symbolic toys out of the bones, then gifting the toys to that hunter's child upon birth. As these toys are used only for symbolic purposes, it is rare that any are lost or broken. Therefore, images of a Gnoll infant from a notable lineage often depict the child perched upon a mound of toys as if it were a throne.

Let's start off with a few of the recipes that endear this cookbook to me.

What? And also, yes! This is so freaking clever.

Harvard Beets are the first recipe I ever learned on my own. Why did preteen me think *this* was the thing to start with? The answer has been lost to the ages. (BTW, it's delicious, I still make it occasionally, and I would highly encourage trying it out. Use roasted beets if you have time.)

Finally, a truly unique post-Thankgiving recipe! Let's make cinnamon rolls but fill them with meat instead! I'm completely here for this.

It's our old friends The National Live Stock and Meat Board! The post-WWII period saw lots of corporate joint ventures. So many products and supply chains had been put in place to support the war effort, and no one was willing to let that sweet, sweet military-industrial complex money slip away!

For a short while, it was more worth it to direct consumers toward any product within their scope. Brand loyalty would come later; first, people had to be convinced to even try these new products.

Also - "Book Production Industries ".

You've all been such good boys, girls, boths, neithers, and others that I think you deserve a treat. Behold -

I actually really like this cookbook! It still possesses all of the glorious weirdness you'd expect from a 1950s supermarket giveaway cookbook - but more importantly, it also repaints shortcuts like canned food and electric appliances as tools for the savvy cook.

There was A LOT of both implicit and explicit shaming of women's culinary choices during the post-war period. Not that that wasn't always a thing (cause it was) but the women it primarily affected were the burgeoning middle class, not the extremes of the high- and low-society.

This cookbook both assumes the reader to have basic culinary knowledge AND a life which is not kitchen-centric. These two ideas will soon become opposites.

(For more on this, stay tuned. I'll cover The Can Opener Cookbook and The I Hate to Cook Book soon.)

This is so well-designed and awesome. And also I kept reading "mammals" and was highly confused.

We see a lot of white, gray, blue and some green but what colours are uncommon/ non-existent in manuuls?

what could be considered uncommon are light or dark-colored maanuls, fully white coats are rare to nonexistent. A black pelt of feathers is actually just a darker shade of blue, as when light is shone on them they will reflect blue coloration. Individuals having pelts color variation could be the result of dye, trying to reassemble how they picture their goddess Haanu. The most common colors are set to be dirty grey with darker shades of blue in their back, although that can vary from region to an other as southerners have more flashy colors (especially the males)

green coloration can be the result of iridescent feathers or dye, the yellowish tint like on this random sketch is done by crushing some chemical minerals and rubbing them at the end of their feathers.

Monmartre can be an example of a rare coat as it's abnormally light with barely any darker contrast (the drawing has an outdated look of current maanul ears)

One'whisker being a northern-east maanul is a sort of exception to the rule of dark pelts being rare, as some small population in the north live in cliffs that have a different color from the norm, being quite dark to almost black in the result of ancient volcanic activities in this particular region. The maanuls have adapted by being a darker blue than any other population

small detail but notice that northern maanuls have feathers covering their ears, and some have some featers up to the keel bone. Tho altuyur's north is not really cold (approx 14°), it is actually still quite hot but compared the the overall planet the other parts of the world think that region is unbearable for its temperature

[although recently, i was thinking of what strange colors/patterns could result from mixing subspecies, I am thinking of taking examples of some odd feather patterns from my pigeons]

What is the difference between these two recipes?

A.

B.

Answer: only B deserves to exist. Headcheese, as off-putting as it is to many, serves a vital purpose - what the hell else are you going to do with all of that otherwise inaccessible meat? It's 1949, and America is barely removed from the Great Depression and wartime rationing. The average housewife wasn't always boiling down hog's heads, but she wasn't *not* boiling down hog's heads either.

As for A? Stop ruining good food - meat-in-jello is not a value added product!
