Not new, but still quite like it. We like to give each other silly nicknames when speaking on the radio. In this case, bread names :neofox_peek_bread:
"Rye, Rye, Rye, this is Spelt!"

Dev & I watched the Race to Alaska movie yesterday, about racers that journey up Canada's Inside Passage to Alaska, a 1207 km(750 miles) ride through strong tidal currents, traffic-infested waters, and overall very difficult sea/wind conditions. A very good watch. We saw the R2AK depart from the Victoria Harbour in 2016(second year for the R2AK), we were amazed at all the crazy pedal-powered contraptions the racers had built to propel their boats (victoria harbour doesnt permit sailing, and the race forbids the use of engines). @rek It's so good, right? I saw it at the virtual Wooden Boat Festival when it debuted. Welp, It is hard to take an appetizing photo of a whole wheat chocolate cookie XD! (Plus it's been overcast for days, shit light.) I've been experimenting with baking cookies on the stovetop, this was my best attempt so far. No burned bottoms, great texture :>. I used a trivet to elevate the cookies in my cast iron pan, and cooked them with a lid on for 30 minutes low-med heat. #thegalley Took a while to cook because my IH plate doesn't like working for long at medium heat, but it doesn't complain at low heat. The plate doesn't like to cook at med heat for long when it thinks that there's nothing in the pan(even if it isn't empty, this happens when I cook flat bread in the pan too). @rek oh NICE! these look real tasty and as if they have a good texture and solidity! a few weeks back i tried improvising a batch of "healthy chocolate chip cookies" (using canola, date sugar, spelt). they turned out tasty but a bit wobbly and soft. needs further experimenting ^^  I also updated this image :>! Our support page has an image of the boat in another mode, with the table gone. In this mode the table is hooked on the wall next to the woodstove. Ruler of the Taiga. 3 pages out of 6, still working on the other 3 :>... See pages together: https://kokorobot.ca/site/ruler_of_the_taiga.html Ruler of the Taiga. The last 3 pages [6/6] SUPER happy with this ^______^ Full sequence: https://kokorobot.ca/site/ruler_of_the_taiga.html

@rek so much more space. I’ve never used more than one burner at a time on the boat. #onepotlife Good tradeoff in my opinion. An otter kept us up last night, hopping on and off the boat non-stop, doing... I don't know what. Eventually Devine got fed up and stuck their head outside, the otter took a quick dive overboard and did not return. At night, both us are especially lazy. It's hard to will ourselves to get up to do something about the thing that annoys us, even if doing the thing earlier could save us sleep :neofox_blush_hide:

"Remember, you still gatta be you on vacation. If you are sad where you are now and get on a plane to Italy, the you in Italy, will be the same sad you from before, just... in a new place." "Traveling can't fix deeper issues." From an older SNL comedy sketch named Romano Tours.

  @rek I wanted to search some ideas for DIY shower curtain rod. And well I found something, but it was on some sports and workout website, the article had photos of people working out in the gym but the text was really about curtain rods (though obviously generated nonsense). At first I'm like WTF, okay generated but why on sport website? But then I got it - barbell rod. When Dev & I hang out with older sailor friends(hetero married couples), it is crazy how often they bicker(edit: not in a cute way), or are rude to each other, right in front us :/. It is SUPER uncomfortable :neofox_nervous:

   @rek As I say to my partners when we experience these things, "the straights are not okay". The heteronormative assumption that people who are married should hate each other is really tired and stuff like this comes up all the time sadly :\ We're about to cut into a SS sheet with our grinder, then realize that the lock nut is missing... can't find it, we looked everywhere >____<! No idea what happened to it. Gatta wait for its replacement to arrive to continue work on the galley. Ah well, forced break :>... I trick myself into doing the dishes by playing a game. The goal of the game is to finish washing up before the process of making tea is finished (from boiling the water, to the leaves steeping in a cup). It doesn't feel like a chore because it's 'free time', time I would have spent waiting, doing nothing. I then walk away with a warm comforting cup of tea and the washing is finished, yay~! |
