stupid hateful shoulder/arm hurts for hateful stupid reasons, and the good news is that i know the cause, and i can use them without fear of worsening the injury (there is no injury), but the bad news is that it fucking hurts and will continue hurting until the day i wake up with no pain

#i can't turn my head to the right! #nobody is allowed to sneak up on me from my huge fucking blind spot

on the one hand, i understand the first position: local banh mi place has two items on the menu that i can even eat (mushroom bahn mi, tofu banh mi), so i only ever get the tofu banh mi. fortunately, it's delicious.

on the other hand, my favorite two restaurants in the area change their menus constantly: one weekly, one every other week. at one, i have the benefit of the individual dishes being small enough that i can order one of each (tacos and tostadas), so i never miss out. at the other, partner and i always order at 80-90% food communism; if we both think that one dish sounds amazing, we generally don't order two of it:

And even extremely delicious foodstuffs are subject to diminishing marginal returns: The first bite of your ribeye is mouth-watering. The 20th bite is still good, but you are probably not enjoying it as much as the first bite.

at bars, i have the baffling position that i want to try drinks that challenge me. this is largely because i am a fucking doofus, but also because i have a very full set of liquor shelves at home (~100 bottles), so i would prefer novel drinks using ingredients i don't have or don't know how to use. this means that of the cocktails i order out, i don't like 50% of them... but the other 50% are really cool, so, maybe it balances out.

so yeah, at times i treat restaurants as Food Research: they know how to prepare food that i don't know how to do! i could eat more food at home if i steal their techniques!

That neurodivergent feel when you are ordering food/going to a restaurant and you are like "hmm what shall I order today" but then every time you wind up getting exactly the same thing you ordered last time.

Not because you are dedicated to sticking to the same food mind, but because you are optimizing for the same criteria as before ("tastes nice") and after running that procedure through their menu you realized that you've come out to the exact same result as last time and so you never end up eating anything different, lmao.

"Why not just have something different then" but then I would be having something that. Tastes less optimally nice why would I do that

#i wish i had a cute food tag #baffling position: i would be happier if i drank more #alas i have some other gently-incompatible goals atm but i think i can return to it soon #we went to Favorite Restaurant with slaw when she was here last year #and between the three of us we ordered EVERY item on the menu

Found on marketplace, the description is my favorite part

starting to think I just cannot get into gardening due to Texture Issues. You're saying I have to... touch... dirt?

#people are baffled that i can deal with potted plants but cannot deal with outside plants #it's DIFFERENT the outside dirt is FERAL #outside has BUGS

Me and mom learned new English word.

#that wasn't hard to find at all #my fear was unfounded

[robustcornhusk]

i want to see the comic wherein the artist learns about the english word "tit" for "small bird" and decides to look for pictures of "tits" alongside their mother and the two just get blasted with boobies

but i myself don't really feel like getting thus blasted today

#perhaps i will brave the storm anyway

it's a fly, don't give a shit. if it gets near me i'll open the window for it, but i can't leave it open because there's a kitty who mustn't go outside (too cute, foolish for the outside world)

oh god there's either a fly (fine) or a bee in here (oh god oh god oh god)

Four months latter finally got around to buying some miso paste and trying the lima bean recipe @toasthaste was doggedly evangelizing over the winter (the picture in the recipe looks better).

Anyway, Absolutely delicious 10/10. Deeply sad that my local store only sells lima beans canned and I can't just grab a kilo of them dry to make more of this whenever the mood takes me.

i can't tell if those were peas for shelling or for eating whole

i ate the entire thing, which might make one think they must have been in the latter category, but i've also eaten entire edamame pods before without complaint
