Cat ornaments. Kitty Skye was a special request. The others I just doodles tonight. I’m sure more kitties will follow. 😻

Yup! It is…fine 🀣
And there are some things you can do to give it some chew. But it still mostly tastes like a quick bread. Alas!

So far, my attempts at fluffy are mostly failing! (I also can’t tolerate Greek yogurt or any other cultured things, so the usual go-to for creating rising, chewy things is generally out)

But if you have a kneadable, yogurt-free, yeast-free product/idea or recipe I’m all ears!

Religion and American Military History Abstract. In the modern era, the United States is both the most pious Western nation-state and the Western nation-state most prone to war. Throughout U.S.

Finally! A book chapter I drafted in March/April 2020, it's been a long time coming. I have a whole different brain and life now. Weird.

I’m back home, but I feel absolutely awful. All of my worst neuro and dysautonomic symptoms are flaring HARD right now. It’s so bad. Headed to bed to see if rest and hydration will do the trick.

General Sherman (the gray beast) walked up to Admiral Farragut aka Davey aka Pirate Baby Cat (the sweet orange dumb dumb), occupying the much-coveted green fuzzy blanket, thwacked him HARD (usually Davey is the aggressor), then curled up and went to sleep. Davey still looks dazed and confused.

Oh yes, the addition of kale is a good one! And adding runny eggs to anything make it better. An all-time fave!

It’s SO good! It might need more protein for a full meal, if you eat eggs, a couple of poached eggs or runny fried eggs on top are GREAT. (I eat that for breakfast sometimes)

Oh I think you could do pretty much anything you want! It’s VERY flexible, I imagine. I add the psyllium fiber husk just to bulk up the fiber content, really. I can’t tell that it makes much difference to flavor or texture. I do think the flaxseed adds a little texture and flavor.

Brown diced onion in fat, add small-diced sweet potato and (homemade, quick-cook stock or water), cook until soft, add rice, salt to taste. Add flax seed and psyllium husk fiber when liquid is pretty fully absorbed. Crisp: cook to desired/tolerated brownness.

Recipe in text. Onion, sweet potato, brown rice in a large skillet

Current favorite low-histamine side dish (all measures approx.) two onions, one large sweet potato, two c. par-cooked brown rice, 2T. butter (or fat you tolerate), 1 c. stock, salt.

I also add 2/8-1/4 c. flax seed and psyllium fiber husk

Freezes beautifully!! Simple instructions in comment below

Not only is this a bald-faced lie, it is also a pernicious and blatantly white nationalist one that reeks of β€œlebensraum.”

Stagnant WAGES have not kept up with housing costs. ZONING and NIMBYism prevent building high-density housing. INVESTORS snap-up homes for sale, crowding out homeowners
