Me yesterday: made a cake to give away, check, all done

Me today: ........but where's MY cake

Louisa

I'm great at wiping down the stovetop, frying precisely one egg and getting aerosolized grease everywhere

Louisa

Me: [needs podcasts to be a constant in the pandemic so I can just listen and quiet my thoughts]

Podcasts: this pandemic is a great opportunity to change everything, how about 5 people talking at once, how about one guy sounds like he's recording on a bus, how about a guest who doesn't understand the podcast premise and is calling from London

@Louisa Have I suggested you listen to the Triforce podcast yet?

Louisa

This was just what I wanted

Tahdig (Persian stuck-pot rice, fluffy and white at the top but it forms a crunchy brown crust with butter at the bottom) with some rotisserie chicken, tomatoes, and yogurt with fried cumin seeds, fresh dill and cilantro

Crunchy rice with creamy yogurt is a very good combo

Oh good, are we all up to speed on the weird black and white shitty goth(?) house

I may have slept terribly but at least I have a headache and a stomachache

Louisa

Sometimes I get hung up on "can't go to sleep until one good [some kind of interaction]" but everyone's already asleep so I just become more and more agitated

Louisa

Time to get hype for cabbage for dinner

Eugen Rochko

@Louisa I read it as hype for Babbage and I thought, isn't it a bit late for that

The Masto Playlist this week being specific to the time period that I was 16-21 is making me feel some feelings

Looking up recipes for oranges got very existential very quickly

A great thing to do with kaiser rolls that are starting to go stale, is to turn them into garlic bread

This is one roll, and I put the butter-garlic spread and cheese on two others and put them in the freezer for future meals

Louisa 🍽

Ingredients: (for family size)

12 garlic cloves (not peeled)
1 stick of butter (room temperature)
2 tablespoons grated parmesan
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese (optional)
4 kaiser rolls, small sub rolls, or one Italian loaf, cut in half crosswise

Instructions:

β€’ Preheat oven to 400Β°, put foil or parchment paper on a cookie sheet

β€’ Put the garlic cloves in a small skillet (dryβ€” no oil) on medium heat, shaking occasionally, until they get brown spots and become fragrant, about 10 minutes, then cool the garlic, peel, and mince it or press it through a garlic press

β€’ Add the garlic, butter, parmesan, and salt & pepper to taste to a small bowl, mix together

β€’ Spread the mixture evenly on the cut side of the bread, then sprinkle with asiago (if using)

β€’ Bake the bread for 10 minutes, or until golden brown 🍞

Notes:

Heating the garlic cloves this way cuts down on the sharp bite you get from raw garlic, without being as mellow as roasted garlic. I'm glad I found out about this because it makes the garlic bread really taste like the restaurant kind. You can use any firm but melty cheese in place of the asiago; if you add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella it will be more like cheesy bread

I'm using Mastodon on the computer for the first time and: it stinks

I don't want all these columns at once, get outta here

Eugen Rochko

@Louisa Disable advanced web UI why do you even have that enabled

Louisa

I have a question for menβ€” why do so many men cut their nails down to the quick? Like not even 1/16 of an inch left to help you peel a label off an apple, what the heck

Eugen Rochko

@Louisa To maximize the time until you have to cut them again

Louisa

There's just really no way to stop people from telling you what's happening on Twitter huh
