i think minimizing is a very important life skill. like yes, my anatomy grade is bad and i have to pay insurance and i am seriously torn for my plans after high school.

but, i’m in the car with a good friend, we’re getting home from school, i have minimal homework, and i’m listening to duvet by twilight and we’re getting food on the way home. life is okay, i am okay. the world isn’t going to explode, im just 17.

Easy Cooking, Egg n Pasta

Full title: Easy Cooking in detailed steps, boiled Egg & Pasta. (For one person).

Note: This recipe might look long and complicated, but I promise it’s an easy recipe. I just broke down the steps into many smaller ones, in order to make them as easy to understand as possible for people - even if they should be complete beginners at cooking.

For this recipe you will need: A smaller saucepan, 2-3 Eggs, a pinch of salt, a spoon, random smaller bowl, water, and half (0,5) of a cup of pasta. Also, an alarm. (Most people can set alarms on their phone, but alternative alarms work as well).

Total cooking time: 10-20 minutes, depending on how quick your stove is.

[Picture ID: Example of a cup to use for the pasta. If you can’t see the cup in the picture, use a cup roughly the same size as your fist. Picture ID Ended.]

Tip: The spoon you will need in this recipe is for some slow mixing and in order to take out the eggs from the boiling water. I recommend a wooden spoon for this, because wood doesn’t lead heat. However, if you don’t have a wooden spoon you can still use a normal one. Just be careful not to burn yourself on the water.

.

Recipe Steps:

. Read through the entire recipe before starting for real.

. Use the toilet before you start to cook, and then wash your hands thoroughly. [ That way you don’t need to run in the middle of cooking. ]

. Take out everything you need (see the list above), and place where you cook. (NOT on the stove though. It could cause scratches to the stove and/or start a fire if you’re unlucky.)

. Lightly rinse 2-3 eggs below running water.

. Place the 2-3 eggs into a fairly small saucepan.

. Fill the small saucepan with just enough water to cover the eggs.

. Add a pinch of salt in the saucepan with water.

. Place the saucepan with water on the stove. The saucepan should just barely cover the stove hob, or as close as possible. (The “circles” on top of your stove.)

. Turn on the heat for your chosen stove hob. Use the heat-stage before the hottest on your stove. (Usually 8 of 9, or similar.)

. Prepare half (0,5) of a small cup of pasta. If you’re hungry you can fill it almost all the way up.

. Prepare a timer for 6 minutes. (Do NOT turn it on yet). This alarm is to give you medium to hard-boiled eggs. If you prefer looser eggs, set the alarm a bit earlier, but I’m going to use 6 minutes for this recipe.

. Once the water start to bubble, to boil, turn on the alarm. - - - - If the water hasn’t started to boil after 10 minutes, check/make sure you didn’t accidentally turn on the oven or the wrong stove “circle”.

. Pour the Pasta into the boiling water and eggs.

. Slowly blend/mix the pasta and eggs once in a while.

. Lower the heat on the stove one (1) step. [ Example, now 7/9 instead of 8/9. ]

. Read the pasta package or have someone tell you how long the pasta needs to boil. This will usually be around 6-12 minutes, but it depends on the kind of pasta you’re using. If you don’t know how long the pasta needs to boil, assume it needs 8 minutes.

. When the alarm sounds, turn it off and immediately set a new alarm for the remaining time of the pasta. Assuming you set the alarm to 6 minutes for the eggs, the pasta should now have roughly 1-4 minutes left depending on what kind of pasta you used.

. Immediately after you set the new alarm, use the spoon to CAREFULLY! take out the eggs from the boiling water, and place the eggs in a small bowl with cold water.

. When the pasta alarm sounds, turn off the alarm. . Turn off the stove.

. Peel off the egg shell(s). - They should have cooled down enough to do so now, but if not, change their water to give them cold water again for a few seconds.

. Once the eggs are peeled, carefully drain/pour out the water from the pasta into the sink.

. Pour the pasta onto your dinner plate/into your dinner bowl. . Place the peeled eggs on top of the pasta. Time to eat, you’re done.

. Optional: If you want to eat this as a simple soup instead, pour a cup of milk into your bowl and add some spices of your own choice.

And/or you can add a vegetable/fruit to eat alongside if you want to, but this is a basic recipe you can cook to at least get both needed calories and protein into your body.

.

Possible Questions you might Have:

. “I need to use the toilet (again), but the water is boiling! What do I do?” - Answer: If you just need to take a quick pee, lower the heat two (2) steps and Run to make sure you get back before the alarms goes off. Rise the heat two (2) steps when you get back again and maybe add a count to 20 to the time after the alarm goes off. Alternatively, if you live with someone else you can ask them to guard the food while you’re in the toilet.

. “The boiling water is overflowing! What do I do!?” - Answer: Carefully lift the saucepan off the “circle”, so the saucepan now only stands half-way on it. Lower the heat one (1) step, count to 20, and then blend/mix the water at a slow pace as you place the saucepan back fully onto the stove “circle”.

. “Why should we add salt to the egg water?” - Answer: Without going into the detailed science behind it, the salt makes the water start to boil quicker. It also acts as a light “spice” for the pasta. If you choose to add more spices later, the salt also acts as an enhancer to the the spices.

. “Why did you make this?” - Answer: I keep seeing people on Tumblr who don’t have any idea on how to cook and/or are too worried to try. This is a basic recipe, sure, but I broke it down to smaller steps to make sure even complete beginners have a chance to follow along. We all start somewhere.

Cooking is a life-skill, and we all need to know some basics.

“Why pasta and eggs of all things?” - Answer: Because they’re cheap food who cover a lot of nutrients your body needs. Boiled food in general also has a lesser risk of becoming BAD and/or dangerous to eat even if you screw up a little bit. If you’re a beginner, this takes off a lot of pressure, because the vast majority of times you can still eat the boiled food you screwed up a little.

.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll be happy to help if I can. 👍🏽 //Jezzica.

on the one i hate the "girl (gender neutral)" meme on principal, and forcing it on people who don't identify with girlhood is transandrophobic. on the other hand being referred to as "one of the girls" in a joking sense while still having it understood that I am in fact a man is about as gender as it gets for me and actually I love it

a conundrum!

#it all comes down to intent #but honestly it's.... i genuinely love it #it feels like taking the power out of something that used to hurt me it feels like reclamation #idk if that makes sense because obvs girl isn't a slur but that is how it feels to me #and using it as a joke? using it to say ''this has no bearing on my gender actually'' feels powerful it really does #this is in no way intended to change anyone's mind i Get It i do this is just saying how I feel #i always feel weird about feeling different from the Agreed On Opinion of people whose insights I value but i suppose it's an important #life skill #also yes this post was made because I thought for a second the previous post I reblogged was going there lol #lavender thoughts

So apparently it's Common practice for people my age. To Not know how to sow. And I'm not saying using a sowing machine but simple sowing techniques.

How to thread, a few stitches, how to sow sow a button.

Now younger people under 20ish I get. I'm pretty sure they dont have home ec in schools anymore. I GET THAT! BUT MY 27 , 35, 31, AND 40 year old family members not knowing how to do a simple sowing..wtf?

Seriously it's a life skill you need to learn. Just the basics is all you need.

13 Essential Lessons in Financial Literacy that You Should Teach Your Children

“Maybe instead of getting upset over this make a teachable moment?” It would have been met with the classic response this-is-my-kid-it’s-none-of-you-business type of the answer, but on the contrary, it was received with an open mind as it stopped the lady from seething in anger over her child’s erratic behavior, “How?” “Teach him the value of money.” “Money doesn’t grow on trees!” That was my…

the thing about art is that it was always supposed to be about us, about the human-ness of us, the impossible and beautiful reality that we (for centuries) have stood still, transfixed by music. that we can close our eyes and cry about the same book passage; the events of which aren't real and never happened. theatre in shakespeare's time was as real as it is now; we all laugh at the same cue (pursued by bear), separated hundreds of years apart.

three years ago my housemates were jamming outdoors, just messing around with their instruments, mostly just making noise. our neighbors - shy, cautious, a little sheepish - sat down and started playing. i don't really know how it happened; i was somehow in charge of dancing, barefoot and laughing - but i looked up, and our yard was full of people. kids stacked on the shoulders of parents. old couples holding hands. someone had brought sidewalk chalk; our front walk became a riot of color. someone ran in with a flute and played the most astounding solo i've ever heard in my life, upright and wiggling, skipping as she did so. she only paused because the violin player was kicking his heels up and she was laughing too hard to continue.

two weeks ago my friend and i met in the basement of her apartment complex so she could work out a piece of choreography. we have a language barrier - i'm not as good at ASL as i'd like to be (i'm still learning!) so we communicate mostly through the notes app and this strange secret language of dancers - we have the same movement vocabulary. the two of us cracking jokes at each other, giggling. there were kids in the basement too, who had been playing soccer until we took up the far corner of the room. one by one they made their slow way over like feral cats - they laid down, belly-flat against the floor, just watching. my friend and i were not in tutus - we were in slouchy shirts and leggings and socks. nothing fancy. but when i asked the kids would you like to dance too? they were immediately on their feet and spinning. i love when people dance with abandon, the wild and leggy fervor of childhood. i think it is gorgeous.

their adults showed up eventually, and a few of them said hey, let's not bother the nice ladies. but they weren't bothering us, they were just having fun - so. a few of the adults started dancing awkwardly along, and then most of the adults. someone brought down a better sound system. someone opened a watermelon and started handing out slices. it was 8 PM on a tuesday and nothing about that day was particularly special; we might as well party.

one time i hosted a free "paint along party" and about 20 adults worked quietly while i taught them how to paint nessie. one time i taught community dance classes and so many people showed up we had to move the whole thing outside. we used chairs and coatracks to balance. one time i showed up to a random band playing in a random location, and the whole thing got packed so quickly we had to open every door and window in the place.

i don't think i can tell you how much people want to be making art and engaging with art. they want to, desperately. so many people would be stunning artists, but they are lied to and told from a very young age that art only matters if it is planned, purposeful, beautiful. that if you have an idea, you need to be able to express it perfectly. this is not true. you don't get only 1 chance to communicate. you can spend a lifetime trying to display exactly 1 thing you can never quite language. you can just express the "!!??!!!"-ing-ness of being alive; that is something none of us really have a full grasp on creating. and even when we can't make what we want - god, it feels fucking good to try. and even just enjoying other artists - art inherently rewards the act of participating.

i wasn't raised wealthy. whenever i make a post about art, someone inevitably says something along the lines of well some of us aren't that lucky. i am not lucky; i am dedicated. i have a chronic condition, my hands are constantly in pain. i am not neurotypical, nor was i raised safe. i worked 5-7 jobs while some of these memories happened. i chose art because it mattered to me more than anything on this fucking planet - i would work 80 hours a week just so i could afford to write in 3 of them.

and i am still telling you - if you are called to make art, you are called to the part of you that is human. you do not have to be good at it. you do not have to have enormous amounts of privilege. you can just... give yourself permission. you can just say i'm going to make something now and then - go out and make it. raquel it won't be good though that is okay, i don't make good things every time either. besides. who decides what good even is?

you weren't called to make something because you wanted it to be good, you were called to make something because it is a basic instinct. you were taught to judge its worth and over-value perfection. you are doing something impossible. a god's ability: from nothing springs creation.

a few months ago i found a piece of sidewalk chalk and started drawing. within an hour i had somehow collected a small classroom of young children. their adults often brought their own chalk. i looked up and about fifteen families had joined me from around the block. we drew scrangly unicorns and messed up flowers and one girl asked me to draw charizard. i am not good at drawing. i basically drew an orb with wings. you would have thought i drew her the mona lisa. she dragged her mother over and pointed and said look! look what she drew for me and, in the moment, i admit i flinched (sorry, i don't -). but the mother just grinned at me. he's beautiful. and then she sat down and started drawing.

someone took a picture of it. it was in the local newspaper. the summary underneath said joyful and spontaneous artwork from local artists springs up in public gallery. in the picture, a little girl covered in chalk dust has her head thrown back, delighted. laughing.

#writeblr #warm up #this is longer than i wanted i really considered removing that part about myself and what i went thru #but i think it really fucking bothers me that EVERY time i talk about being an artist #ppl assume i just like. had the skill and ability to drop everything and pay for grad school.#like sir i grew up poor. my house wasn't a safe space. i gave up a FREE RIDE TO LAW SCHOOL. for THIS. bc i chose it.#was it fucking hard? was i choosing the hard thing?? yes.#but we need to stop seeing artists as lazy layabouts that can ''afford'' to just ''sit around and create''#when MANY - if not MOST - of us are NOT like that. we have to work our fucking ASSES off. hard work. long and hard work #part of valuing artists is recognizing the amount we sacrifice to make our art. bc it doesn't just #like HAPPEN to us. also btw it rarely has anything to do with true talent.#speaking as someone with a chronic condition i hate when ppl are like u have it easy. like actively as i'm writing this my hands r #ACTIVELY hurting me. i haven't been posting bc my left hand was curled in a claw for the last week #this isn't fucking luck. after a certain point it's not even TALENT. it's dedication & sacrifice.#''u get to flounce around and do nothing with ur life'' is a narrative that is a direct result of capitalism #imagine if we said that about literally any other profession.#''oh so u give up 10 yrs of ur life to be a doctor? u sacrifice having a social life and u get SUPER in debt?#u need to work countless hours and it will often be thankless? well i wish i was that lucky''#we should be applying that logic to landlords ONLY #''oh ur mom and dad gave u the money to buy a house? and all u did was paint it white and rent it? huh.''

Asking The Right Questions

I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about here this morning but the latest local BitDepth, a newsletter done consistently over the years by photographer and writer Mark Lyndersay, immediately roused my inner problem solver. I put on my software engineer hat and wrote a bit about this D’Hub (D Hub, phonetically) initiative, which I think is poorly named and late. In that commentary, I got…

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time
