#so no fresh veg

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

oh right, technically i sell t-shirts

i forgot about that

#holidays are coming up and it would make a terrible gift #that's the main selling point #anyways these exist and can be exchanged for legal tender #the cost is the listed price + the emotional expense of knowing that i am judging u #bc i am. i am judging u #why would u want this. why would u exchange currency for this #there are so many other things you could exchnage currency for instead #a grocery store shrimp platter for instance #with the nauseatingly red cocktail sauce that is SO much better than a t shirt any time #hmm chicken picatta at a local Italian Eatery perchance? i am. a big fan of anything picatta #oh oh i know! 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH OKRA #FOR THE COST OF THIS FRIVOLOUS T SHIRT U COULD INSTEAD PURCHASE 3.6 POUNDS OF FRESH DELICIOUS OKRA #and then --hold on i have a recipe--and then what u do is #so it is basically sacrilege to suggest this but what u do is u skip the cornmeal entirely #my southern ancestors are shaking a wooden spoon at me right now but LISTEN. u skip. the gotdang. cornmeal #instead: wash chop and soak (for 10 min) the okra in a mixture of 1 egg to tblsp water #then coat in flour #THATS IT JUST FLOUR #No cornmeal. i am betraying my heritage rn but I'm RIGHT #coat in flour sprinkle liberally in S&P and FRY that suck in veg oil high heat #until crispy & brown & u hear your arteries clenching in apprehension #so. so yeah #that's what u should do instead of buying this shirt go fry the shit out of some okra #(but buy local and young & tender if u can bc the grocery store is full of old-and-therefore-super-stiff specimens #pro tip (aka grandma tip): if u can't chop okra smoothly with your normal cutting knife then it's too old and tough. #...i mean u probably CAN still fry the shit out of it I've certainly done that before it's just much less delicious #ANYWAY. anyway ANYWAY. shirt. okra. farmers market. that reminds me of a post i made back when we first started selling these dang shorts #shirts. shorts shorts. oh shit i should make a crop top option. #i. i don't Know How to make a crop top option #HUH . . . i need to lie down now and contemplate the constant and irreconcilable limitations of the human experience good night

so i have been entirely out of action bc i caught covid on my final work trip (i am in fact quitting my fucking job lads. i did it. my notice period is uhhh. muddled by the fact i didn't get to logistically confirm an end date bc work gave me covid and i'm not lucid enough to talk to hr.) but i have knit an inch of a sock plus an entire heel turn today and watched four episodes of d20 fantasy high which is a huge improvement from two days ago when watching any kind of video or moving game gave me such bad vertigo i had to immediately sleep ten hours so. progress? wish me luck bc i'm not having a great time and still can't stand for longer than an hour at a time

#tony muses #time to tackle the insurmountable task of turning the fresh veg in my fridge into dinner #i am so dizzy and tired

Ordering Chinese expecting it to slap extremely hard only for it to be mid breaks my heart every time. Chinese is supposed to be a TREAT

#psy's no punctuation posts #my family used to order from this one restaurant bcs everything was always sooo good #then the last time we got it the chicken was really gross n fatty and I couldn’t finish it #so I ordered from the restaurant just down the street cause we used to go there all the time before it wound up being kinda meh #and it does such amazing business all the time… anyways it’s still mid #their egg rolls are so much worse now though it’s sad #theirs used to be so good bcs the veg was so fresh n crunchy but this time the interior was all gloopy like it was from Panda Express #which damn in that case I could’ve just ordered from fuckin Panda Express!!!! #woulda saved me a lot of money honestly #it’s so sad. my life is extremely hard as you can imagine

$1000 a month

-the money I need for things I pay by debit, like the phone

$800

/ by two shopping trips a month

$400

-the cost for feed, medicine, and other necessities for all the animals

$80

-the kerosene for the hot water heater

$48

So, everything I buy for me…food, toilet paper, I mean everything, has to come out of $48

Oh, and gas for BOTH the car and pickup…..

Um, yeah. That doesn’t work.

See, I REALLY do have to focus while shopping. I won’t have enough money for everything, but if I think carefully enough I can find a way to get by.

(Yes, yes, get rid of the animals. The animals that are my only true friends. The animals that are the reason I have to keep surviving when despair crushes me. The animals that adopted me as wandering strays or who have lived their whole lives here on the farm. Break up their complex family and tear them from their life long home so that I can live a more comfortable life……

Nah. They cost, and I am constantly hoping against hope that no one new shows up, but we need each other. If I have to eat crap and delay repairs to keep them alive, then I have to. My life depends on their lives too. )

#my day #poverty #pets #money #grocery shopping #I miss blueberries! #I miss so many foods #but whatever #A week and a half of mac and cheese with canned green beans and beets for veggies hasn’t killed me #nor did almost two weeks of bean soup #but damn I want fresh fruit and veg all the damn time #and shrimp! #OMG I miss shrimp! #my gambling is hoping for good sales when my shopping day hits

i really couldn't hack it in a city. i let a man holding a 48 pack of water go ahead of me in aldi because duh, i had a full cart of groceries. and there was only one queue open. so duh.

this man thanked me. THREE times. i think i made his day.

#also! very exciting! the cashier who's been my cashier every time i've been called me darling today 🥺 #i got a good grade in customer #didn't go to the theater because i barely slept last night so the day would've been too long #but next time i will #aldi + eating predominantly fresh produce = my fridge is FULL #no joke. it has never been this full ever before even when i was a kid #maybe parosmia is a blessing in disguise because i spent about 10 minutes today hunting for a frozen food i thought wouldn't trigger it #just like every time literally could not do it #and decided to just 'make do' with an entire fridge full of fresh food‚ pasta/rice/grain‚ frozen veg‚ plus dairy meat etc #😪 guess i'll just have to keep eating lots and lots of mostly or completely unprocessed meals 🤧 #adam talks too much

Ah things have manifested in a way where I like... after the vet bill won't have any money this paycheck (the leftover will all go towards rent). which is fine I have so much food in the freezer waiting to be made just sucks to be me for the next 3 weeks

#ktxt #I'm hopefully overestimating the vet costs but you know #okay new quest is to batch make some food when I get home and use up my fresh veg if I can #Probably thai curry tonight so I can use my zucchini and tofu up before it goes bad 👍 #its not that serious I think next month it will even out but I'm paranoid so hunkering down

What was a recent act of kindness that your character extended to another person?

Y'aromirr has settled fully into his parental concern mode, and in that makes a habit of taking care of the small things where he can; Most recently he had good harvest on cabbage in his garden and hand delivered some to the nearby Free Companies! He's keeping good track on what veggies get eaten up quickly among friends...

#thank you so much for the ask!! you do so much for sending these out to people & i super appreciate it! #as i'm sure many people do <3 #answered #in game and in writing he gives veg or fresh tea /allll the time/ #which spares rosie & eren burning out on papa's garden goodies which is a double blessing

[a-polite-melody]

I now truly understand the love of instant rice, frozen mixed veggies, and eggs.

#about me #so easy #so tasty #always had 30 min cook rice at parents house #and sparse fresh veg #n typically no eggs

[blujayonthewing]

#I have no explanation for why this irritated me so much or why I am still irritated it's been YEARS ajhskdfgh #I have friends for whom Jay LOOOOVES Cucumbers is STILL like an inside joke and I just ????? #I LIKE THEM A NORMAL AMOUNT THIS IS A NORMAL FRESH VEGETABLE TO SNACK ON AND YOU *TOLD* US TO *EAT THEM!!!* #I do love cucumbers but I don't know that I love them more than say apples or carrot sticks-- two other completely normal snack fruits/veg? #it feels like I failed some kind of inscrutable Being Normal test-- or like-- was tricked into failing it?? #'please eat cucumbers' [eats cucumbers] 'LMAO WEIRDO!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A LITTLE CUCUMBER FREAK LOLLL' #like idk I guess I didn't slice them up or anything first but #why I've been clowned on for Loving Cucumbers So Much instead of specifically for eating them like a wild animal is ????? #anyway I think about this any time I eat cucumber #about me #irl frens

Im still so upset abt my family pulling a Charlotte Lucas on me this weekend but like. It's fine. I am going to get So Buff so I don't have to hate having a soft "feminine" body and also so I'm strong enough to bear the weight of their Ongoing Disappointment (TM) about p much every single one of my life choices and also maybe my very existence

#franposting #im somehow so upset abt that #but also so happy bc im working out again and the weather is nice and i have recipes to make and fresh veg in the fridge #also im reading the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue as a completely self indulgent comfort read #and im just 🥺 #what if u were in love with ur best friend in the 1700s #and u were both boys #but also ur a little depressed and a little bit an alcoholic. and ur dad is a shitbag. #and also ur being chased by highwaymen on the grand tour of the continent. for funsies #literally. in love with ur best friend is such a good trope. making it sad queer 18th century is just. delicious #this shit HURTS and I'm actively crying #because all the bits with his dad are like. YEAH ME TOO. this is one of THE biggest sources of nightmares for me #i can never be free or honest!!! i simply make up excuses abt being single forever and ever #also bk2 is abt felicity and i love her. queen. truly. just wants to get a mans education and escape finishing school. icon #but yeah. this was supposed to be fun haha lil fluff romance with no stakes ol #just a distraction from my woes. and now im like. oh #oh shit we be in it now #dare i say..... sebastian flyte vibes of it all.... #softhearted fop alcoholic in love w ur best friend. rich brit. parent issues. really just need to love and be loved

[pinktinselmonstrosity]

one of my all time favourite hobbies is wandering aimlessly around a market. pick up some interesting cheeses. look at some local homemade pottery. buy a scotch egg from a combination butchers/candy shop. rifle through some vintage clothes. ideal morning activity

#looked at my bank account and it said 'KANDY KORNER' and i was like. when the fuck did i buy candy? #i didn't. for some reason the place that sells like. scotch eggs steak bakes quiche slices pork pies etc is *also* a sweet shop #the guy working there was super nice <3 he asked where i got my coffee and said he'd have to try it out :) #and the lady at the vintage shop was so nice she helped me find things in my size and told me there was a discount for ''young people'' #because ''things are really hard for young people at the moment'' <3 nothing i tried fitted unfortunately but i'll definitely go again #got some fancy wine to toast my grandfather's memory too <3 #and fresh fruit and veg and a lovely cake <3 #🧃

currently eating the most harrowing bowl of fried rice I’ve ever made in my entire life

#no rice in the house!!! not a grain!!!!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!!!! #except for brown rice and. get this. a half full bag of basmati that has probably been in the cabinet for 4 centuries #i am. desperate. made it anyway. #got two eggs to scramble with my veg. cracked one. it’s lovely. cracked the other. itS ROTTEN!!!! ITS A ROTTEN EGG!!!! FUCK #screaming crying sobbing laying on the floor in a fetal position praying to whatever god will hear #everything smells bad now. holy shit. i can’t smell nothing but fuckin. ROTTEN EGG #sesame oil and fresh black peppercorns this is ALL on you. you are between me and chucking my guts #god. y’all. i don’t even want to eat anything anymore. #i had a brownie with coffee moonshine whipped cream while the 1000-year-old rice was cooking so that’s probably enough for dinner. #when in doubt booze it out. fuck me #i can tell I’m at the end of my antidepressant’s rope bc this has genuinely shaken me I feel like I’ve been in a physical fight #shut up myth
