chook definitely would have old people taste buds like her favourite ice-cream is pecan flavour and when thanksgiving she will ignore mac&cheese than go for green beans coleslaw first.
Chook is such a contrary kid.
She has old person taste buds. She runs around like she's feral.
You just can't put her in one neat little box 😂

Jan 27th 2024
Update after my family dinner!
I completed a 39hr and 28min fast
I chewed slowly and thoroughly
This was my omad
I restarted my fast immediately after
I took the longest time to finish eating of anyone but I didn’t feel deprived or even like I was going slow
I declined seconds
I drank a cup of water first
I didn’t binge when I got home from Shame of eating at all
I feel confident going into my next fast
And because I followed these basic guidelines, it wasn’t that big of a deal!
The whole meal together didn’t look to be all too many calories but I can’t be sure how many it was. If you guys want to try and guess to show off your counting skills, go ahead here’s what was in it:
It was just crock pot chicken on a bun (no sauce) and a small portion of coleslaw, and then dessert was one small scoop of vanilla ice cream on a “apple crisp” thing which was pretty much just baked apple slices in brown sugar with oats on top (small portion) oh and a quarter slice of a pickle (not shown)
(And thanks so so much your your guys’s input on my last post!)

Victoria Roberts Talks about Animation.
Today's interview on Case is a little bit different—I had been seeing Victoria's lovely animations on Instagram, and asked her if she might be interested in talking about them on here. She kindly obliged, so I sent her a loose list of questions to consider, and she sent me back such an incredible rumination on her experiences that I replied back to her "This is so cool! You are so cool!" because though I was expecting something incredible (Victoria being Victoria after all!), it wouldn't be dramatic for me say that I was thunderstruck! Anyways, I hope you all enjoy reading what she has to say as much as I did! —Jane

On Animation
I’m so fortunate to be working on what I love.
It’s been a long haul in a way. I came to New York City from Sydney, Australia, because I wanted to run away with the Wooster Group-that is, do theatre. Or film. I was already a cartoonist, and I became one under contract to The New Yorker, an enormous privilege, thirty odd years ago.
But since last month, thanks to a software named Callipeg, I make an animated short every week, for which I do the voices, called “Axolotl Mondays.” Finally, I’m in the movies!
Tumblr media
To be a performer and tell stories, or at least vignettes, is my passion. At nineteen, with $5000 from the Creative Development Fund of The Australia Council, we made “Goodbye Sally Goldstein”, a five minute animated film. I had three collaborators:
Rob Rogers, composer and musician, Kathryn Pentecost, and Jacqueline Field who drew and painted. From the sound recording, inking and painting, to the shoot, it took six months to complete. My favourite task in all of this was doing the sound breakdown, which consisted of manually running the soundtrack tape through a reader (not sure what the device was called) and jotting down the length of each sound so that you could animate to the soundtrack.
David Deneen founder of Film Graphics was my inspiration and coach. What I knew about animation came from time spent over the school holidays in his studio thanks to my mum, who worked in advertising and got me the gig. They were making an animated ad for Witchy Brew, an ice cream, and I remember they said it wasn’t until they boiled spaghetti that they got the right sound for the witch’s cauldron. 
Every animator had a different style, and each animator’s desk, covered in drawings, felt like a different universe. Val Udowenko and Don Mackinnon were stars in this creative shop that went on to win the Academy Award for Bruce Petty’s “Leisure” in 1976, Best Short Film. To watch David Deneen solve a problem from idea, to script, to film, was my university. 
I left school at sixteen and got a job painting cels for Hannah Barbera. The studio was run by Zoran Janjic, and his mum Zora, ran the painting department. Her “quiet girls please!” in a rich Yugoslavian accent resounded often. It was a big studio.
Sometimes we were on a network deadline so tight that Bill Hannah came to Sydney. We were paid per painted cel, working overtime, and we would try to get scenes with many mouths, as lips were very quick to paint. We stayed in over lunchtime and Mr. Hannah ordered in for us, fried chicken and coleslaw. “Would anybody like more slaw?” he offered, and the painting department cracked up at his American pronounciation of “slaaaaaaaaaaw.”
Again I had the good fortune to hear the soundtrack for a series called “Wait ‘til Your Father Comes Home,” an animated sitcom. I loved the soundtracks, and again remember the sound more than the drawings, and longed to be a creator of some sort.
Some characters come to the world with more dialogue than others. A cartoon strip though roomier than a gag cartoon with a drawing and one line of dialogue, isn’t enough space still for some characters like Nona Appleby, an Australian octogenarian character I have drawn since I was 16. Finally I started to play her on stage, and that gave Nona the opportunity to say everything that is in her heart (it’s a lot!). I maintain that I am a vessel, and the characters do all of the work. 
“Axolotl Mondays” is mid-step between the page and theatre. There is the element of time in a video, which is delicate and wonderful. A friend gave me gift of a six week editing course at MEWSHOP in New York City, which gave me a very good base for cutting and thinking about time. We learned at one of their lectures that “Annie Hall” started out as a film with a stream of consciousness dialogue, but that Diane Keaton’s performances were so extraordinary that it became another film in the editing room. I mention this to underline the malleability, possibility and difficulty of film.
Tumblr media
These videos start out with a soundtrack usually, but I learn something new each week about how movement and time on screen works. My animation style is very basic, which fortunately suits my drawing style. It’s detail and timing, and other possibilities which I am learning about that make a piece “sing.” As with most of my work, I rarely know what I am doing. It’s the mystery, the discovery, that keep me on board. 
Callipeg is like having an old-style animation studio at your fingertips. Everything is done on the iPad. It’s so much faster than paper and cels, and cameras-and so accessible. Really a beautiful software, plus the creator’s tutorials are delivered in a native French accent!

Quotes part uhhhh whatever.
Fish sticks are like mozzarella sticks for Californians.
You ever think about how coleslaw is milk salad?
Yo Gabba Gabba is just an inbred crossover of the Teletubbies.
A small loan of 62 cents. The same price that my soul is worth.
There is absolutely nothing stopping your from making ice cream out of mayonnaise.

Pete Brenner:
Tumblr media
You're missing out on the festivities.
You're busy giving birth to Zoe.
You were having some back spasms yesterday, so you asked Pete to help you to bed, and ask for the heating pad.
The heating pad helped at first.
Pete is working from home, because he wants to be near you when your contractions start.
You had a few contractions, but you and Pete thought that they were Braxton Hicks (fake contractions, basically a false alarm).
Pete gives you a glass of water, and they calm down.
When you wake up to pee for the two millionth time that day,
Before you even get back to bed, with the help of Pete, you feel a very strong contraction.
Tumblr media
Pete calls the doctor straight away.
You're uncomfortable, so you and Pete are just waiting it until your contractions are get more painful and closer together.
That morning, Pete rushes you to the hospital.
Several hours later, you're wheeled into the delivery room.
Pete changes into scrubs.
You start to push.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Several hours later, Zoe is born.
She's the best baby ever.
Pete cuts the cord.
Zoe is weighed, measured and Apgared.
A few days later, you leave with your shinier than shiny lucky one.
But you and Pete are the lucky ones.
St. Patrick's day will have a different meaning in that Zoe was born, and has mad you and Pete feel even more complete.
Tumblr media
Pete is the first one to change Zoe's diaper when you guys finally arrive home.
Zoe grabs Pete's hands when they're close enough, and she won't let them go.
Pete does an amazing job at taking care of both you and baby Zoe.
Pete places Zoe next to you, and you kiss her, and Pete gets a pic of it.
Pete and you both wake up with Zoe. You're breast feeding, so you handle the feedings, Pete and you both take on diaper duty, and you both get her back to sleep when she wakes up in the middle of the night. Bath duty is split equally.
Next year comes, and you celebrate Zoe's first birthday.
The theme is easy, since she was born on St. Patrick's day, and everyone wears green.
Zoe's first cake has a little leprechaun, with a little rainbow and little pot of gold on it.
Zoe surprises everyone by taking her first steps that day. She walks right up to you and then goes to Pete.
She goes right up to her grandma and grandpa, but trips.
She cries momentarily, but crawls to grandma and grandpa.
Everyone claps when Zoe took her first steps.
You and Pete really are the lucky ones.
You and Pete wouldn't have it any other way.
Pete kisses you lovingly.

Food items I am never without.
I like to cook, so I’m constantly picking up oddball ingredients for Some Recipe I found on a blog (usually Smitten Kitchen). But there is some stuff I just ALWAYS keep in stock.
1. Thomas’ Everything Bagel Thins. I eat these for breakfast almost all the time when I’m at home (which is 4 days out of 7). I eat them with cream cheese, Everything Bagel seasoning from TJ’s, and a salted tomato slice. Perfection. They’re also good with some schmear of your choice and lunch meat. A full bagel is just too much starch for me, these are perfect. 
Tumblr media
2. Pre-cooked bacon. I buy this gargantuan envelope from Costco. It lasts a few months and is well worth it. Two strips in a folded-over paper towel for 50 seconds and you’ve got nice crisp bacon, for eating, crumbling on a salad, putting in eggs, or in my case, making a wrap sandwich. It’s so much quicker, easier and neater than cooking up bacon from raw.
Tumblr media
3. Mission low-carb tortillas. I don’t particularly keep low-carb but these taste exactly like regular tortillas so why not? My go-to work-at-home-day lunch is a wrap made with these, lettuce, chicken strips (which I either cook up myself or get at Costo, they sell great packs of them), pickled red onions (which I make myself by the boatload and am never without), mayo and two strips of bacon. Sometimes I’ll make a quick-and-dirty fish taco with frozen fish sticks in the air fryer, some coleslaw or broccoli slaw mix (or just lettuce in a pinch), pickled red onions and chili sauce. They’re also good to make egg wraps.
Tumblr media
4. Frozen acai berry bowls with granola. Another Costco find. I tote one of these to work for morning breakfast and sometimes have them for a snack. They’re really good. One minute in the micro direct from frozen makes them still freezy but soft enough to stir up. This is the item that makes me want a chest freezer for my basement - they come in packs of six and I just don’t want to be at Costco every two weeks.
Tumblr media
4. Wasa crispbread. I eat this all the time. When I do avocado toast, it’s on these. A schmear of cashew spread, avocado, lemon olive oil and either salt, dill seasoning from TJ’s or Tajin.
Tumblr media
5. Crystal Light. This is what I drink 90% of the time (although Spindrift seltzer has been gaining ground of late). I don’t make up a pitcher of it. I mix up six packs each of lemonade and iced tea together to make Arnold Palmer Crystal Light, put it in a lil dispenser, and mix it up by the glass in these big 30 oz plastic hockey game souvenir tumblrs which are surprisingly sturdy and useful. I go through this so much that I order the packages by the dozen from Amazon on Subscribe & Save. It really helps me put down enough water every day.
Tumblr media
6. Taylor Farms chopped salad kits. These kits are the BOMB and they make a very satisfying, big salad. I usually add some chopped chicken and/or hard boiled egg to give it some protein. They have MANY flavors. Creamy Dill Pickle is my favorite. 
Tumblr media
7. Mini snacking cucumbers. This one’s hard because they go bad fast. TJ’s has the best ones although the Costco ones are good too but only intermittenly available. I eat these like candy, dipped in Tajin (something else I am never without).

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls: Season 1, Episode 17 ("The Breakup Part II")
What happens in this episode: In the previous ep, Dean dumped Rory because he is a barrel of smelly expired coleslaw. Rory eats two giantic beach pails of ice cream over it. Lorelai continues to dole out questionable relationship advice to her daughter. Rory goes with Lane (?!) to a massive Chilton party. Rory takes a can of Parmasean cheese into her bedroom and Lorelai doesn't blink. Rory throws Dean's pointless shit in a box and Lorelai has been throwing pointless Max shit into a box as well. Rory and Diet Logan share an unnecessary kiss. Everyone is boinking everyone except our eternal virgin girl scouts Rory, Lane, and Paris. It's a boinkfest with sprinkle cheese on top. Strap in. 9 episodes to go until a breath of fresh air arrives in Stars Hollow and everything goes to hell in a different way. (talking about Jess).
Tumblr media
OK THIS IS NOT CUTE OR HEALTHY LORELAI. ESPECIALLY NOT FOR A TEENAGER. LG: "Have you seen the cover of his notebook? It's one step away from stalker material." NOT CUTE! Lorelai is so stunted when it comes to dating that she is passing this unhealthy shit down to her daughter. Why is Lorelai only tolerable when she's not getting involved in Rory's love life? The scene: Rory throws everything Dean ever looked at or touched including The Quarter on A String bracelet into a box. RG: Dean gave me this sweater. He saw me in it and he liked it. LG: Well, he's got good taste. RG: He said it bought out the blue in my eyes. LG: Then he's gay. Early 2000's tv writing, everyone! LG: In the future you might regret that you don't have those things anymore. They're 16 fucking years old. It's not like they were getting married. Half of what she threw in there were some old books Dean pretended to read. I think she'll live. I need to come up with a headcanon about what Rory put in her Jess Box. Ideas, people. I need ideas. Rory asks Lorelai to burn the box, throw it in a dumpster, get the box out of the house, etc etc. Lorelai agrees but just hides it in a closet under some blankets. If that were Rory's Jess Box, Lorelai would definitely have burned it.
Tumblr media
Some guy out there selling nuts on the street at like 7am. I respect the hustle. Thought it was going to be another festival. Guess Taylor ran out of funds to embezzle. For now. Rory doesn't want to go to Luke's because Dean might be working next door at Doose's. Luke is unbothered by their frequent boycotts because the Gilmore Girls never pay him for their food anyway.
Tumblr media
Now we can't go past the high school either because if he happens to be off from work he'll be playing football. Are these the same "Friends" Jess "played football with"? I need to see these guys, okay? I don't believe they actually exist. I guess Dean is a jock again. Lorelai is panicking because Rory won't go near Lukes. Just dump her off at the Nut Cart and go there yourself. Cut the cord, Mamma. You'll both live. Does Luke put crack in his Folgers? Is he dealing Lorelai drugs out of the stock room? Mamma is SWEATING. They take a detour through a back alley that I don't remember seeing again and enter Luke's through a back door #ThatsWhatSheSaid
Tumblr media
I have to share this amazing accidental screen shot.
Tumblr media
Let's place our bets on whether or not Rory is too naive to realize why Rachel is wearing Luke's shirt.
Tumblr media
Heh heh. They had sex. Rachel is working at the Diner because why not. Luke hires literally everyone in town at some point except for Rory. Who never held a single job throughout all of high school & college except for swiping meal cards at Yale for one day (she slept through it). The only thing Rory contributed to society was picking up trash during her community service. Anyway where was I...
Tumblr media
The boinking was good huh? Tomatos Sign spotting!
Tumblr media
Luke has got a real post-boinking smirk going. Luke: I knew that kid Dean was trouble. Does he think he can do better than Rory? Well, Lindsay seemed pretty nice, other than having questionable taste. #JusticeForLindsay
Luke spots Dean trying to come in and he runs outside to kick his fucking ass! LD: "Do you see a smile on this face?" DF:"No, but what's so different about that, you're not exactly the town crackup."
KICK HIS ASS LUKE! KICK IT!
Babette: "I can tell Rory about how you have to go through a lot of bad relationships to get to the good one." Ah yes. The Jack Pearson burnt pancake theory. "I can tell Rory about all the horrible men I've known in my day, really, truly awful men. I was pushed out of a moving car once." #ILoveHer
Tumblr media
A paper invitation. How quaint. #Giraffes?
Tumblr media
Rory pulls out a can of Kraft Parmesan cheese and retreats to her bedroom with it. Lorelai does not question it. As if this is a regular occurence. I know Rory is going through a breakup but this may be a cry for help. I need answers. You know what else I need answers to? How Lane was allowed to go out to a Chilton party with Rory and leave the house in a spicy red low cut blouse AND she has a midnight curfew?
Tumblr media
Oh stick a fork in my eye. What is this? It's either A Max Box or a Christopher Box? That she keeps in the same closet as the Dean Box? That closet needs an exorcism. (it is never directly said, but it is likely a Max Box). Overwhelmed with emotion over her Box Of Max Shit, Lorelai first stops at Sookie's house where Sookie is interfering with Jackson's cooking a romantic meal. Lorelai then makes her way to Max's doorstep without any prior notice and the first words out of her mouth are "Rory and Dean broke up." And then she starts one of her rambles. Max looks reasonably befuddled and then invites her inside. Figured he'd shoot his shot with an emotionally vulnerable Lorelai just like Christopher did a few episodes back. Just like with Christopher, it worked. This is a first and probably a last: Lorelai actually admits she's a hypocrite. She uses the words "I'm a hypocrite." That's refreshing. She is the BIGGEST hypocrite. You know what it means when Lorelai starts rambling to a man? They're gonna have sex. They had sex. Still no answers on how Lane was allowed to go to this Chilton party. Besides being in awe of the size of the house she seems comforable and unfazed at this massive party that should be wayyy out of her element (same for Rory), but maybe that's just my own social anxiety talking.
Here's a Dork Hall of Fame worthy quote from Rory to Paris: "Can you show us the way to the soda?" Such a good little girl scout. Lane, not to be outdone: "All this soda is French!" I never drank in high school or even much after that, so there's nothing wrong with drinking soda whatsoever, but they still sound like absolute fucking dorks and it's kinda cute. Although there are people walking around with red Solo cups, there is curiously no alcohol mentioned or visible at this massive unsupervised teenage rager run by a pair of Bad Girls (the show had no issue with depicting an underage keg party in season 3 but I guess they needed time to build up to that or in season 1 there were censors up the writers' asses or something) In this episode Rachel and Luke boinked, Sookie and Jackson presumably boinked, Lorelai and Max boinked, Madeline and Louise presumably had an orgy with their 30 year old looking hookups with frosted hair, and Tristan has an argument with a girl named Summer who boinked some guy named Austin in a bathroom. Rory, Lane and Paris remained unfucked soda-sippers who bring books to parties. I want to see Rory and Jess tucked away at a table reading together in the strip club.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#StepCousinSoulmates Lane and Henry dancing at the party is one of the cutest moments of the show. Lane has got some moves too. Later, Lane explains to Rory how Henry has all of the qualities her parent (s)?? would love but she doesn't want to date someone her parent(s)?? would actually approve of. I thought this is where we'd hear Lane's panic set in when she realize she'd have to find a lie to tell Mrs Kim. How would she explain to her Mom that she met this perfect boy at an unsupervised high school party at a mansion with a pool table and soda in plastic cups? But no. Still no answers about Lane's presence/escape. Lorelai and Max are making out awkwardly. Max pulls away. MM: We have to get a grip here. LG: I thought that's what we were doing. Lorelai you dirty bird! Diet Logan (Tristan) is attending this party and he's being mopey and annoying. Rory, being the ever sweet and thoughtful soda-sipping girl scout that she (currently) is, decides to talk to him and see what's bugging him.
Tristan (aka Diet Logan): "Think you'll get back together with Dean?" Rory: He was pretty set in his decision. Narrator: Neither Rory nor Dean were "pretty set in their decision". Diet Logan pretends to empathize when Rory tells DL that Dean dumped her and "apologizes" for bullying her. Whatever. Then just like Max did to Lorelai in this episode, DL takes advantage of Rory's vulnerable emotional state to kiss her. DL says "did I bite your lip?" after he kisses her and Rory looks like she's about to cry. All I can think about is the time Rory told Logan he bit her lip after he kissed her. I want to jump in my time machine and tell her to be patient because someone who actually knows how to kiss without mangling her mouth (Jess) is going to arrive soon. The dynamic between Rory and Tristan (and also Paris and Tristan) continues to be utterly confusing. I still don't know what purpose Tristan was meant to serve.
Tumblr media
I have never seen such a huge plastic beach pail of Ben and Jerry's like that before in my life. Plus there are two of them and one already appears to be empty. Slow down, kid. Don't waste the good ice cream on Dean. ESPECIALLY not Cherry Garcia. The best flavor. Can we get another shot of this pail? Holy moly. That must be a Costco-sized tub that's meant to feed an entire birthday party.
Tumblr media
OMG. We STILL haven't gotten to one of the worst advice speeches Lorelai ever gives Rory (besides the one she just gave about how stalking is so cute). It's already two or three episodes further into the show than I remember it being and still hasn't happened. If you don't know which one I'm talking about you hopefully will soon and this misery can end. The Good: Actually not a lot of Dean in this episode. Luke kicking Dean's ass. Henry and Lane are adorable. Rory and Lane being dorky. Lorelai admits she's a big fucking hypcorite. New Headcanon: The content and fate of the Jess Box. The Bad: Lorelai's usual sketchy advice. Men taking advantage of vulnerable women. The Confusing: No answers are given on how Lane ended up at a Chilton party either without her mother noticing or without revealing what lie she told Mrs. Kim to be allowed to go. Just like Jess, Dean claims to have friends he plays football with when we know he has no friends. A man is selling nuts at 7am. Rory eats two buckets of ice cream by herself and lives to tell the tale. WHAT DID RORY DO WITH THAT PARMESAN CHEESE?

You should date a woman who loves salad. More specifically, one who bedecks her salads with any combination of feta, chicken, rollmop herrings, apples, lemon juice, olives, cashew nuts, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, minced lamb, grated cheese, the occasional doughnut or pain au chocolat, coleslaw, hoummous, mayonnaise, mustard, curry, more olives, crisps, pretzels, tuna, pork pies, sausage rolls, takoyaki, sausages, gherkins, mushrooms, pickled onions, chutney, kimchi, noodles, pasta, potato croquettes, shredded cabbage, ice cream and of course croutons, packing in enough nutrition to live on salad alone.
She's an amazing chef and a wizard with lettuce, a truly enthusiastic eater. She might even show you how to unseed a pepper in a single stroke!

I have successfully cooked my farmshare box!
Here's what I got:
Tumblr media
This subscription runs for 22 weeks, from this week until mid-October, and I get 8 things every week. (Usually 8 different things, but I'm not complaining about this week's double strawberries!) The farm I subscribed to has a good variety of things planted, so I should get all the good stuff as it comes along.
Total cost is about $400, which is a big whack to pay at once, but I had one of those months where you get three pay periods instead of two, so I paid for it then. I get slightly fewer hours a week at work in the summer, so it actually works out pretty well to pre-pay part of my grocery expenses.
And here's what I did:
With the lettuce, a bit of the onion, and some grocery-store ingredients, I made a big salad:
Tumblr media
There are three of those, earmarked for work lunches. I'll add dressing and croutons when I'm ready to eat them.
With the kale (and more of the onions), I made soup with potatoes and sausage:
Tumblr media
I ate one bowl of that right away, and I have three more servings for weekday meals. I had the sausage, chicken broth, and cream in the freezer, and I had potatoes and garlic that needed using up, so all I had to buy for this was the parmesan cheese.
The radishes were a two-fer! With the actual radishes, I made a little salad that my cousin-in-law recommended:
Tumblr media
It's thinly-sliced radishes, green onions, and hard-boiled egg, and the dressing is greek yogurt and dill. Sort of a coleslaw vibe, although I think the dressing needs a little something more. I put it on a little nest of kale, because I had a lot of kale to deal with, and you kind of want something to cut the pepperiness of the radishes. Four servings of that left in the fridge. (The bowl with the green dots is a little one, about the size of the palm of your hand--you wouldn't want to eat a big cereal-bowl sized serving of this salad
And the radish greens were beautiful, so I sautéed those up as a little snack while I was cooking:
Tumblr media
Olive oil, green onions, garlic. No leftovers of that; it was just a handful of greens. While I ate them I thought about how nice they would probably taste if you were, say, a medieval peasant who had been slowly developing scurvy all winter since the last fresh food ran out.
If that is not your experience, they're okay--a bit chewier than spinach, less tough than kale. However, if your radishes usually come with wilted, mangy-looking tops, or no tops at all, this is not necessarily a situation you need to remedy.
With the rhubarb, I made rhubarb crisp:
Tumblr media
I ate one serving of that right away, and I have four more in fridge ready to warm up, add ice cream, and eat. (I only had a little over two cups of rhubarb, so I a-little-more-than-halved @bitletsanddrabbles's dad's recipe.)
The asparagus, I roasted with some olive oil, salt, and pepper:
Tumblr media
I had it with some tilapia that was in the freezer, and sweet potatoes that needed using up. One serving I just ate, and two more in the fridge for later.
The strawberries I'm not doing anything fancy with, just slicing them into a bowl with sugar.
