still here, still queer. singularly unlikable. good cook, hates cooking. writer, editor, knitter, spinner, stereotypical middle-aged cat-obsessed dyke. i rarely check my activity here—that's none of my business—but my inbox is probably open. i wrote cooking is terrible: https://books2read.com/cookingisterrible

you know how people are always like, 'someone should write a cookbook that's actually easy'? i wrote it (amazon us link). i actually did it a while ago, but i finally got my shit together enough that it's widely available as both an ebook and a paperback, so i figured i'd mention it again.

you can buy the ebook almost literally anywhere, including on amazon, kobo, indigo, thalia, booktopia, gumroad, and pretty much anywhere else you care to buy ebooks.

you can also buy a print book almost literally anywhere, including amazon, indigo, powells, waterstones, and basically any other bookseller.

this is a book for everybody, anywhere, who has limited, time, energy, or resources to make food. here's what i assumed:

  • you don't want to spend a bunch of time and energy cooking
  • you can't afford to eat nothing but takeout
  • you probably don't have access to Brands, because Brands are expensive and region locked.
  • you probably don't have a bunch of gadgets—there's no slow cookers or instant pots in this book

that's about it. there are vanishingly few measurements, and when there are, they're both imperial and metric. i'm from the us, but live in australia, and you can purchase 99% of the ingredients mentioned at the nearest supermarket in either country. when i was formatting this for print distribution, i also checked tesco and used my terribly bad german to check rewe to make sure this was as broadly accessible as possible, and they have basically everything, as well.

i wrote it for you. if you have more questions, you can see a couple sample recipes here and the answers to frequently asked questions here. If that's not enough, my ask box is open.

With the Reddit 3rd party app crackdown and the ongoing horseshit Elon Musk is pulling with "X", I realize a lot of people here might be pretty new. So I put together a quick and easy guide for using Tumblr for anyone new who might need it.

  • Tumblr was made by David Karp and we call him Daddy around these parts (^///^)
  • You are not safe from fandom-gif attacks ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
  • Speaking of fandoms, the tumblr fandoms are always ready to grab their [object] and go to war against the Beliebers ╰(*°▽°*)╯
  • The only safe refuge from fandom tumblr is with hipster tumblr. If you can get a cool alt-girl to take you under her wing, you might be safe... for now (●'◡'●)
  • You will watch the first episode of Supernatural... and then you're part of the Winchester family. (Or if you skip right to season 4, we don't blame you. It's where Destiel starts (*/ω\*))
  • This is not a glomp-free zone ☆*: .。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
  • Use missing e. It's the only way to make Tumblr useable on Internet Explorer (this is the most popular browser and you're probably using it right now) :-D
  • Our only adult-supervision is John Green... and even then does that REALLY count as supervision? DFTBA! φ(゜▽゜*)♪
  • Just this once, everyone lives. It's bigger on the inside. Elementary, my dear Watson.
  • If you see Misha Collins staring at you, the polite response is "Saving people, hunting things, the family business." O.O
  • I might lose followers for this, but this blog supports gay rights, and yours should too (14 gifs of Sherlock and The Hobbit)
  • Tumblr will teach you more about the world than you'll ever learn in school. ○( ^皿^)っ
  • Tread carefully... we have teh yaoiz O.o. Oh you don't know what that means? Well let's just say... it's full of lemons here.
  • If you see Hannibal Lector in a flower crown, tell him it looks very nice. His boyfriend Will Graham made it for him. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
  • Do not enter the dog park. The dog park will not harm you.

*choking gurgling blood dripping from my nose choking and gurlging on the blood pouring out of my nose*

Reviews are in! Reviews are glowingly positive! Reviews are glowing like the cloud we All Hail.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Stop. Please back up. That's not a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. That's a Feral Non Binary Autistic and they're highly aggressive towards outsiders.

Couldn’t figure out where the jolly rancher smell was coming from. Stroke? Spill? No. Stink bug in my shirt

Child soldiers praised for the accomplishments that gave them so much trauma?

This was not the post I intended to respond to.

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

some of you in the notes.. i would say read the room but you didn't even read. the post

rewatching Fool For Love and that one cut from Drusilla and Spike to Angel made me laugh so much because it reminded me of this post

like here we have spike and drusilla at their hottest. utterly unhinged, covered in blood. they are at peak vampire eroticism and the sheer sexual chemistry they ooze into the atmosphere could kill the population of a small country. and then it cuts to

guy in the worst wig you've ever seen looking like he's trying really hard to concentrate on a math problem

This post doesn't even TOUCH on the fact that when they open their mouths Spike and Drusilla sound genuinely, delightfully British and then Angelus is like [SOMEONE ONCE SOLD ME A BOX OF LUCKY CHARMS AND THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE THE LEPRECHAUN SOUNDED LIKE IN THE COMMERCIALS? IDK I SAW IT 15 YEARS AGO]

Imagine that. You're Aragorn. You're Isildur's heir. You inspire loyalty wherever you go. All who know you love you. Your people will follow you into the gates of hell. You're a deadly and valiant soldier, yet your hands also have magical healing powers. You save Middle Earth and become a great and beloved king.

You're own creator still says you're not good enough for Eowyn
