I'm making some pad thai sauce, which is supposed to be for supper tomorrow, but it smells so good that I may make the executive decision to have it for supper tonight.

If it tastes as good as it smells, it will be

a) the best pad thai I've made so far

b) entirely impossible to recreate, since I stretched my fish sauce with soy sauce and anchovies, and stretched my brown sugar with honey and molasses.

#I know it's supposed to be palm sugar #but brown sugar is much easier to find #and I have a hunch that honey will make a better substitution than white sugar #I have no excuse for the fish sauce except that I had more tamarind than I thought and ran out of fish sauce #delights #dandelion cooks #cooking #pad thai

★ foldable joy journal!! ★

I made this little zine / journal that is printable and foldable easily at home!!

I think there is a lot to be said about being mindful and intentional about seeking the joy already present in our lives, a la Ross Gay's The Book of Delights. The word I chose to guide me in 2023 was "revel" which really encouraged me to take in all the delights in life :-)

This zine was inspired by a format I found in Special Collections of my college, and I made it through a process of lino-cut prints, collaging, and prototyping!

print here!!

hope you enjoy!

Down near the bottom of the crossed-out list of things you have to do today,

between “green thread” and “broccoli,” you find that you have penciled “sunlight.”

Resting on the page, the word is beautiful. It touches you as if you had a friend

and sunlight were a present he had sent from someplace distant as this morning—to cheer you up,

and to remind you that, among your duties, pleasure is a thing

that also needs accomplishing. Do you remember? that time and light are kinds

of love, and love is no less practical than a coffee grinder

or a safe spare tire? Tomorrow you may be utterly without a clue,

but today you get a telegram from the heart in exile, proclaiming that the kingdom

still exists, the king and queen alive, still speaking to their children,

—to anyone among them who can find the time to sit out in the sun and listen.

Tony Hoagland, "The Word" from How to Love the World: Poems

Hello. I am the anon positivity virus. I'm gonna need you to list five (5) things that make you happy and then send this to people (anonymously, obviously). Please? Pretty please? With a cherry on top?

The mutual love I have with my close friends; the way we lessen our sorrows by supporting each other and amplify our triumphs by sharing them with each other

Beauty, natural and anthropic; music, nature, the clouds in the sky, the stars above, so many many many kinds of visual art, static and dynamic, and even more kinds of stories

The color blue - how happy I am when I see it, how right it feels to adorn myself in it, how it's such a part of my identity that people will send me blue things they think are neat, how much fun I have being the Blue Girl Who Is Blue.

Spinning poi - it's a hobby that's good for me physically, very grounding mentally, and gives me a way to exist in lots of spaces that feels right and good and fulfilling that I don't think I would have ever imagined being able to do 10 years ago. And - the delight it so clearly provides people who were not expecting to see random lightshows in public spaces always makes me feel warm inside, and the times I've used it to distract and calm down upset children are treasured memories.

Gay skating night - it's often the highlight of my week. I love skating and I've gotten so much better at it over the past year, and I've met some wonderful friends there and strengthened my relationship with existing friends by going. It feels so good and right be surrounded by my people, and to smile encouragingly at people who are starting out and trying new things, and while we often stay too late afterwards hanging out it's absolutely worth the sleep deprivation the next day.

(though - sorry nony i will not spread unsolicited chainmail even if it is cutesy chainmail aligned with my values and vibes. That's how they getchu! If anyone seeing this wants to do it, they can DM me and I'll send it to them)

Ok, yesterday we were haters. Today we are in love with ourselves (or at least tolerant) and the universe (no qualifications). Share your tiny delights if you'd like, so we multiply them with each other on the first day of the year which will be a good one or else.

I have a fresh pot of coffee. There's a dusting of snow (finally). I had a strange/cool dream about picking up baby birds and putting them back in their nests. And I'm going to go for a short hike and then make a roasted salad thing I'm pretty excited about later. 🥰✨🌻

Tell me yours! ❤
