"Vietnamese" tofu
This is inspired by the tofu in the delicious tofu bánh mì at Vui's Kitchen in Nashville.
Ingredients:
firm tofu (probably not extra firm, definitely not super firm)
large clove of garlic
fresh ginger (size of a large clove of garlic)
1/3 cup light soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
oil for frying
Directions:
Cut the tofu into 8 steaks like this:
Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the marinade: Grate the ginger and garlic real small and combine them with the soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. When the tofu is done pressing, marinade it in the mixture for a bit. It's ok if the ginger and garlic stick to it. Then fry it in a pan to desired doneness. YUM.

Building Better Everything
Cutting the poles was a pain, but I’m happy with how sturdy it is.
Bought this when I was buying more cheap weigh plates, sadly they’re now done, for cutting and now ecided I’ll use it for the front flowers.
An old poppy I pulled from the rose garden, plenty there still.
Daffodils are sluggish, but appearing finally.
I guess you’re never really finished improving, it just becomes smaller and…

The Autoimmune Protocol and Herbal Supplements for Healing"
In this video, we explore the revolutionary approach of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in healing autoimmune diseases. The AIP focuses on a holistic food and lifestyle plan that specifically targets the root cause of autoimmune conditions. By eliminating trigger foods that cause inflammation, the AIP aims to restore optimal bodily functions and offer hope for recovery.
One important aspect of the AIP is the incorporation of herbal supplements, which play a crucial role in complementing the protocol. These supplements provide additional support to the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being. Some of the most effective herbal supplements for individuals with autoimmune disorders include astragalus, bee propolis, boswellia, reishi mushrooms, ashwagandha, turmeric, ginger, green tea, and garlic root.
To fully benefit from the AIP, a major change in diet is required. This includes avoiding trigger foods like nightshade vegetables, dairy, wheat, processed sweeteners, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, oils, food additives, refined and processed sugars, and certain medications. Instead, the AIP encourages the consumption of nutrient-dense foods such as collard greens, Swiss chard, and spinach, which are rich in essential nutrients and offer numerous health benefits.
The AIP protocol consists of three phases. The elimination phase involves removing foods that cause autoimmune reactions to reduce inflammation and promote healing. The reintroduction phase is a gradual process of reintroducing excluded foods to identify triggers and customize the diet. Finally, the maintenance phase focuses on long-term management, incorporating diverse nutrient-rich foods while avoiding triggers.
Research has highlighted the potent anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties of certain herbs, making them ideal for managing autoimmune disorders. Additionally, fasting and intermittent fasting have shown promise in regulating the immune system, reducing inflammation, and improving overall well-being in autoimmune patients.
While following the AIP, it's important to be aware of possible reactions related to the immune system. These can manifest as aches, pains, muscle and joint discomfort, decreased energy levels, sleep disturbances, mood swings, depression, and decreased stress tolerance. These symptoms serve as indicators of immune-related conditions and should be monitored closely.
To help you implement a simple and healthy diet for autoimmune disease, we've provided a sample meal plan. Incorporate a variety of colorful vegetables, leafy greens, fatty fish, and omega-3 fatty acids into your meals. For breakfast, you can try overnight oats with chia seeds and berries, followed by a salad packed with colorful vegetables for lunch. Enjoy hummus with nuts or a Greek yogurt parfait for snacks. Remember to customize your diet to meet your unique health needs.
Cost-effective choices are also available for those looking for an affordable sample healthy diet for autoimmune disease. Include whole and frozen vegetables, rolled oats, seasonal fruits, brown rice or whole wheat pasta, tomato sauce, mixed vegetables, whole fruits, peanut butter, whole grain crackers, and budget-friendly herbs and spices in your meals. For dinner, consider roasted chicken with affordable spices and herbs, baked sweet potatoes, and steamed frozen vegetables.

Art Diary time! <3
Some of this is stuff I was due to draw about, but was just too freakin tired to.
Bugs in my house, ew, leave please! My family cat is back from visiting Fluffy's sister, and he's so floofy and sweet, and I love him!
I watched Transformers: EarthSpark with Fluffy, and I really liked it! The characters are so charming and fun, some scenes go HARD on the animation, and they surprisingly handle a lot of important topics rather well!!
Blah blah, antis suck part 5290411.
Aaaand I've started watching some Vaush videos again (and other video makers too, so this time I won't tunnel vision one person, and I'll be able to make nuanced judgments about stuff people talk about on their channels). I did miss him a lil. He's fun, and some of his videos directly helped me take a BIG leap out of my crippling anxiety and self-doubt. His content also contributed to helping me accept myself as trans. So ye! I like the spicy left-tube man.

Restive Robins and Combination Clowns
Restive Robins and Combination Clowns
Even if hell froze over I’d still have roses.
Climbing plants are entering The Rambler.
So very late and very hard and dry.
Bees seem to like these Tree Mallows.
Still fine despite the heat.
The first fell off, but I’ll try again and again.
Surpringly a lot of work to get it sealed neatly.
Yo, Dear Reader, the heat is now at the point where crops are being damaged and near unsalvageable. My…
