Ooo! That sounds wonderful! I’m envious. I don’t think I have ever actually had honey cake. But I’m bound and determined to, even if I have to make it myself!

Bakkali Central Asian Honey Cake Bakkali Bakkali is a traditional Uyghur cake that is soft, sweet, and full of nutty flavor. The main ingredients are honey, walnuts, eggs, sugar, and flour, and some recipe…

This week I think I’ve organically come across honey cake in three different cultures. So weird. I’d like to make this one. Though I would need to give most to friends here or risk making myself sick.

Abu Simbel - Wikipedia

This is a really cool article. I had no idea that these two temples were moved prior to the Aswan High Dam flooding the original site. The idea of the first visitors to the original site carving their names into the statues fills my mind with rage like buzzing bees.

I did have six mini eggs this evening, because I have very little self control. Now that I’m a sweaty, nauseated mess, however, I will think twice about doing that again.

I’m not entirely sure how I got from white chicken enchiladas to Samarkand. *is puzzled*

Ooo delightful!

Ooooooohhh!!!

Today’s food rabbit hole started with previous decades cake recipes, then transitioned to pies, then cheesecakes, then Bundt cakes, & then weird “salads” like Watergate salad.

Then I tore myself away to actually eat. A hard boiled egg & half an avocado w/everything bagel seasoning. So full! #food

Such pretty. 😍

Thank you!

He created a lake to raise fish and installed cameras to monitor them, but ended up attracting eagles, deer, and owls to one of the continent's most unexpected wildlife sanctuaries He built a 5-acre fish lake, then cameras revealed a surprise takeover by bald eagles, deer, owls, and nonstop wild drama.

This was a neat look at what was supposed to be a closed ecosystem.

I wanted this mari to be inspecting a strand of fate, but you can come up your own story

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

Woke up from a smexy dream about Bossman. Hasn’t happened in literal years. *is wistful* I do miss talking with him, but I moved away and he didn’t seem that invested in the friendship once I did.

Now I haz a sad. 😔

I’m still kinda tired. Think I will burrito in bed and go back to sleep for now.

I think I’m ok. I guess my new normal is really low in the morning, and then kinda high in the evenings. *shrugs* I’ll continue to log it and mention it to my docs during my next appointments.

But thanks for being concerned. 💜💜💜

My body is doing weird things. Blood pressure is high when I go to bed. Woke up four hours later and BP is 78/64.

It’s just been so odd.

i can’t stop laughing

I didn’t know I would miss oatmeal this much until I couldn’t have it anymore.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Stupid capitalism, getting in the way of yummy times.

I hope so too! I think he said they can each take 50lbs a day? Which is an absolute fuckload of fish, so maybe I have that wrong. But maybe not!

Had two Cadbury mini-eggs as a Valentine’s Day treat. That should be a small enough amount that it doesn’t aide track my recovery too badly. And man were those two tiny eggs tasty. Mmm chocolate.

*tucks that cake under one arm like a running back and beats feet elsewhere*

roses are red
chocolate is nice
read books, punch nazis
