A recipe

Take five boys.

Add two girls.

Raise them on old movies and puppy piles and enough food to feed a small army.

Teach them card games and board games and silly little games of pretend, where the swing set is an obstacle course, or a house, and the propane tank is a boat, or a horse.

Marinate them in the Christmases (give them presents that will last) and summers (give them trees to climb) and family reunions (send them across the street until it’s time for them to stuff their faces) of years past.

Sprinkle in birthday Phone Calls to taste.

Bake them on hardships and fights and moves across the country.

Rest them on the memories of happier times.

Now take them out of the oven and try to tear them apart.

If King Charles dies on or before March 25th, 2024, he will technically be the shortest-reigning king in English history.

Anyway, like to charge, reblog to cast.

I really love how Adam is an asshole, because it is incredibly fitting. He was the first man on Earth, he was given permission to control Lilith and when Lilith didn’t want to lay beneath him he damned her. Adam is always seen as the victim in the Garden, tempted by the wiles of Eve and her weakness for evil and dragging him with her. He would be an asshole and not just that but one who for eternity thinks of women as lesser than him because it is his design.

He's just as much of a sinner as Eve. He was literally right next to her when Lucifer tempted her and didn't say a thing about not eating the fruit. He was an entire adult who very easily could have told Eve not to eat the fruit and/or decided not to eat it himself. My (very conservative) pastor literally said that Adam is just as much at fault for not being a leader as Eve is for eating in the first place.

Also: if you go with the idea that because Adam is the Man™, that means He's The Only One Allowed To Make The Final Decision. He DIDN'T tell Eve no, meaning HE IS EQUALLY AT FAULT!

The Ring: If I had a quarter for every time a hobbit picked me up, I’d have two quarters.  The Ring: Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Of all the bearers of Sauron’s ring, 4 of them were hobbits.

I was wrong. It’s 5. Not 4

The lineage of ring bearers is as follows.

  1. Sauron.
  2. Isildur
  3. Deagol
  4. Sméagol
  5. Bilbo
  6. Frodo
  7. Samwise

I love how Deagol counts as a ring bearer even though he had it in his possession for all of like five seconds

He held it for the rest of of his life!

[Image description: Tweet by @banalplay saying “but something happened then that the ring did not intend. it was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a hobbit, the same fuckin thing that just had it for like 500 years.” End Image Description.] Link to original here. Otherwise reblogging for the final rb there, which made me cackle.

From the ring’s perspective:

1. Home, the finger of my creator and other self.

2. Well, I don’t like it but I can work with this. Cause some trouble, get some revenge, find my way home, this is fine.

3. What the fuck is you?

4. Right personality, wrong species, I don’t know what you are but I hate you and I don’t know why you’re so resistant to my powers.

5. NO NO NO there are goblins everywhere how did I find another one of THESE horrible things. This one’s even more resistant than the last one and also disgustingly nice. I suffer.

6. Listen, I’ll cooperate, just get me the fuck out of this hellhole full of small cheerful people my power doesn’t work on properly. No, not like that. I hate you. Please stop. 

7. FUCK

8. (Frodo again) I still hate you with every molecule of my mortal form but at least you’re not number seven. Think I’m starting to get through finally. 

9. (Smeagol again) YES it’s you I actually missed you now get me back to the Master and NO FUCK NO I HATE YOOOOUUUUU…. *fzt*

Due to some incident on Thai Twitter this week, I want to ask the heterosexual (straight) tumblr dweller this question.

If the person you are dating comes out as Bisexual/Pansexual, how would you feel about this information?

Please answer the poll.

And please reblog for a larger sample size because I feel like I don't have enough straight people in my orbit.

if you're learning how to cook or branching out or feel like you just are not a very good cook or can't cook at all it is so important to know that when experienced cooks say they're measuring with their heart they are lying to you. They are measuring with their intuition, instinct, and experience, all of which are built by following recipes (written or taught by family), experimenting a lot, or some combination of the two: no matter how they learned, they learned it through cooking way more than you have. If you're trying to cook based on instinct or the assumption that you should just be able to figure it out and you don't like how your food comes out or you don't know where to start, find recipes and follow them to the letter. There is nothing wrong with looking up how to scramble eggs or make a stir fry. It will make your cooking better and easier, I promise.

I am a very experienced cook. I cook near daily, I bake a lot, I write recipes, and I rarely *use an implement* to measure ingredients while cooking. This is because I have years and years of experience figuring out how to adjust recipes to my tastes and I know that I can eyeball the amount of starch or salt or flour to put into a recipe. I'm not measuring "one tablespoon" of starch, I'm just shaking in what looks right, which is approximately a tablespoon and I know what too much or too little looks like because I've measured a lot of tablespoons in my time.

And STILL, even with that knowledge, if I'm trying to cook something for the first time I'll usually try making four or five different recipes before I combine what I like out of all of them into my "standard" recipe.

And even if I'm cooking something that I'm familiar with but haven't cooked in a while or haven't written my recipe for, I may look up a video or check a recipe or two as a refresher. For example, I almost never cook pork, so I flip open my betty crocker cookbook and check the weight and temp charts any time I pick up a pork loin. (The betty crocker cookbook is a good basic book with handy charts that is inexpensive and easy to follow if you're looking for something that has a wide variety of recipes to try)

AND STILL, with all of that, I use measuring cups and measuring spoons for nearly everything when I'm baking. Baking has a lower margin of error than cooking. You can maybe get away with eyeballing the poppyseeds in lemon poppyseed muffins or the chocolate chips in chocolate chip cookies, but you cannot get away with eyeballing the baking powder. Knowing what you do and do not have to measure exactly is another dimension of the skills that come along with experience.

Cooking is a skill that takes practice. It gets easier as you go along and you should never feel bad for using reference or looking up techniques. Nobody "just knows" how to cook well, they all had to learn.

There's a snack that I've been making a good portion of my life, I practically have the recipe memorized, but I STILL measure everything out Every. Single. Time.

Both The Boyfriend's mom and my own mother have done enough cooking in their lives that they don't *need* to use measuring utensils and they both use them when trying a new recipe!

i genuinely think it should be illegal to purposefully give someone food or drink with something they didn't ask for. no adding dairy milk, no lying about gluten, no giving regular vs diet soda, no meat in vegetarian/vegan food, none of it. that shit can make people so sick, and in some cases its literally life threatening. even if it doesn't make someone ill it's still a huge violation of their boundaries. there's a million reasons why people have dietary restrictions and it is not your job to deem them worthy of accomodating or not
