this is great bc this mushroom is Cerioporus squamosus, most commonly known as Dryad’s Saddle which “derives from the mushroom’s shape; its brackets seem to be perfectly sized and positioned to form a little seat for a weary tree nymph (dryad)”

hey, don’t cry. one half flour one half yogurt knead into dough and fry for easy flatbread and dip in balsamic vinegar, okay?

After three batches, my findings so far:

  • I use full fat Greek yoghurt and self-rising flour
  • Ratio by weight
  • Add a pinch of salt
  • Knead until no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary
  • Roll them with olive oil instead of flour and fry in an otherwise unoiled, preheated pan (medium heat) (trust in the lord; it will seem like it's going to stick to the pan at first but they'll unstick in about 15 seconds)
  • Roll them thin but not too thin; mine take about 45 seconds on either side
  • Serving with garlic butter is also a very good option

This actually works?? Two-ingredient bread??

I gotta try it.

That's...naan.

That's naan?

*runs to Google*

HOLY SHIT THAT IS NAAN! HOW DID I NOT KNOW NAAN WAS THAT EASY TO MAKE?

this is one of those rare easy bread recipes that also works with gluten free flour! the yoghurt helps with structural integrity. you may want a pinch of xanthan gum if your flour doesn't come with it mixed in. i like to mix some rosemary into the flour to have a herby naan, since i can't have garlic.

Despite approximately 200,000 years of evolution, humans are still completely vulnerable while they sleep and lack any sort of defensive mechanism.

The defense mechanism is community you self centered prick

First line of defense. Its a fucking wall. While these particular designs are new, controlling access to the space by reducing the number of ingress points has served human (hominids, really) well for a couple million years or so, ever since we found caves and said “Hey, this is pretty neat.”

Second line of defense. She’s an older model, but we’ve been using the same technology for at least 30,000 years, and it’s still reliable. With better senses of hearing and smell, they are able to track and identify interlopers before humans can. They are also snuggly.

After that, we have our third line of defense, which is other people.

I ran an Aliens rpg years back. But the players didn't KNOW it was an Aliens game until halfway through the first session.

They thought it was a sci-fi game but they also thought the monsters were going to be zombies.

Over a period of 2 hours they then proceeded to make EVERY Aliens movie cliche "mistake" known to man. Because at the time they all made sense.

The characters in a story don't know they're in a story or what kind of story it is.

They might think their in a romcom instead of a slasher movie. And if you're not in a slasher movie, why the fuck would you search through every closet in your house just because a cup mysteriously fell off a table in the dining room?
