#one crust on top
Text
I bought a chest freezer recently so I can finally indulge my grandma instincts of Make An Unreasonable Amount Of Food For Not Much Money And Eat Of It For Months
Today I bought two rotisserie chickens and made SIX large chicken pot pies (9" pie tins), used the leftover carcasses and have chicken stock going in the slow cooker, with enough leftover chicken meat and veg to make chicken rice soup tomorrow for DnD and probably have quite a bit to freeze as well.
#totaled up everything cost abt $35-40#including the foil pie tins because i did NOT have that many glass ones#which? for that much GOOD food? im quite proud#coulda done it for less if i hadnt used instant mashed potatoes but it saved enough hassle to be worth it#my family always made pot pie to use up leftovers from a Big Chicken Dinner#bottom 'crust' was mashed potatoes#middle filling was chicken bits and whatever veg we had mixed into the gravy#one crust on top#mom ALWAYS made her crusts by hand#but i decided to just use store bought ones#ive missed pot pie#but my teeny tiny freezers have never allowed for it really#because its most efficient when done in a Fuckoff Huge Batch#and my tiny amount of freezer and fridge space never made it worthwhile before

take two: this time, with feeling!
#slight differences from the last one is that I used more spices#and more apples and I just melted the butter directly into the topping#melting the butter is easier and it also turns out to make a much crispier crust so that's definitely the way to go

[Image ID: Inked digital drawing of Digimon character Justimon. Justimon is a humanoid with a heavily Tokusatsu superhero inspired design- wearing a bodysuit with multiple different armoured parts particularly around their left shoulder, elbow and wrist, ankles, knees and chest and abdomen area as well as rivets dotted around their body. They have a belt with a large circular belt buckle spiked at four corners in the middle, as well as a very long scarf. They have a metal helmet on with no facial features, and four metal antenna- two longer ones that are sticking up and two shorter ones sticking down at each ear area respectively. Their right arm- a redesign of the accel arm- is much longer and bigger, with sharp claws at the end of it. It is very mechanical looking, with tubing and more rivet and gear motifs, their right shoulderpad having a blunt spike coming up from the middle. They are in a mid action pose, as if they were jumping or running, looking to the side with their head slightly lowered, their left arm bent closer towards their body whilst the right arm is fully outstretched. There are dark patches of shadow around certain parts of their body and scarf as well as small action lines. /End Image ID]

The ability to fly would open up a new dimension to explore (in the mathematical-physical sense—we already know Danny had opened one up in the other sense). Think of how much Danny would notice that no one else would?
Think of bees. (Not so much birds, because we see birds all the time, and also because they don't seem quite as graceful and maneuverable as bees.) When I did a search for how high bees can fly, I found something that said bees could fly higher than Mount Everest (little edit: may've misunderstood what it meant. They might not've been found flying that high after all, just that 'they could'). Bees can go anywhere they want, just for fun.
We as humans tend to (for the most part) view the world as six feet high. Anything six feet or under, we know about (or possibly up to eight feet. But it's not much higher than our height). And we don't really realize we're thinking this way.
Sure, we can look upward, we can see treetops from a distance, we can see what the sky looks like. But it's from the perspective of looking up from a distance. Our worldview is colored by looking up from six feet or less.
It's a flat surface. Despite us knowing it's not flat, we don't really internalize it as being 3D and navigable. And we also don't realize what's up there. Who would ever imagine there were bees buzzing around the top of a 200 foot tree? To get to flowers we didn't even notice were up there?
And, yeah, we have planes, but they fly in a set path and you can only look down at the very distant ground. Helicopters are probably more similar, but not many people fly or ride those.
But Danny... after the accident, he would've started out sticking close to the ground a lot, but as he started getting more comfortable with the ability to fly, his worldview probably would've changed gradually. From his preconceived idea of 'the world is six feet or less' to 'the world is spacious and easily explored and so very 3D'.
There's an episode where he's vacuuming the living room ceiling—as though he thinks his parents will notice that it's cleaner than before. And though I understand the 'I have to clean everything so I don't get in trouble' impulse better than I should, there's a chance it's partly from Danny seeing the house differently than before. The ceiling becomes just another wall for him. ...One that he might clean often when he has cleaning chores, because he's going to notice all those spiderwebs and cobwebs, and the little bugs gathering in the light fixtures.
(...He probably would realize the ground is also navigable at some point, too. Think of all the tunnels and moles and snakes and other creatures he'll see, and all the plant roots and such.)
#danny phantom#danny fenton#just some thoughts#it's not really a 'what if' idea because it just... is.#asj post#I'd looked at some red buds on a maple tree using binoculars and kinda thought aloud 'I wonder what pollinates maple flowers'.#Because I knew maples had flowers because I'd seen something about it online once. ...I hadn't really realized it before then.#And my dad said probably Honey Bees. And I was like... 'bees fly that high?'#When my dad said he guessed so; I said I've always only seen them around this high (and put my hand at shin-level).#So... that's what made me realize there's a lot I just don't realize exists. From only living in a world near my height and below.#Planted to the ground.#...There was a post I saw awhile ago about people with weird ideas. One was about an illustration showing people standing on top of#the Earth and a person had been surprised because they thought we'd lived inside the Earth.#And actually... I thought the person could've been partially right. We don't live On Top of the Earth. We live under the atmosphere.#We're stuck halfway inside it. Under the layers of atmosphere but above the solid layers. Actually we're on the teeny tiny Crust layer.#I thought it was weird because when we talk about gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn we don't measure them based on their core size.#We measure them based on the size of their atmosphere.#So yeah we actually do live inside the Earth and not on top of it.#There was also a post I saw with a closeup of Saturn. Those clouds looked so 3D and thick and invitingly explorable. They looked bottomless#my search engine had answered the bee question wrong. but I did find something that said they'd definitely found Flies over 19000 ft.'#Not as high as Everest but still really high.

[All right, we got the Motor City. You take one bite out of that crust right there, and write something on it: page. The ricotta cheese on the top reminds me of ricotta that my mother made on the lasagna.]

Today's mood: Picking up a Loaded Pizza with extra cheese while listening to the MP3 of "The Afton Family Remix" on a short walk between the gas station and home.
#We got like one food place in town and it's the gas station#But they make made to order pizza so it's pretty good#I like to get it with all toppings and extra cheese on original style crust#rae is such a dork

just remembered that one map someone made of the "weirdest foods" for each US state and Iowa's was walking tacos.
which, I feel like it's objectively the wrong answer. I mean, loose meat sandwiches (which I find delicious, but many others are a bit off-put by) were literally INVENTED in Iowa.
but I think a better answer to the weirdest food associated with Iowa is something that I'm not sure was even invented in Iowa.
breakfast pizza.
no, not leftover pizza from the night before that you eat for breakfast. pizza with breakfast ingredients on it, like breakfast sausage, bacon, and eggs. literally, every single breakfast pizza I have ever come across has scrambled eggs on it. the sauce varies, but when present I think is usually a gravy of some sort; I don't recall ever coming across a breakfast pizza with red pizza sauce.
breakfast pizza is an Iowa institution. you can find it at just about every gas station (which, in case you didn't know, Iowa gas station pizza is actually PHENOMENAL) and they served it in the cafeteria at every single school I attended, as well as at school events and competitions.
I, personally, despise breakfast pizza because I'm very picky when it comes to eggs and I also don't like meat on pizza (unless it's taco pizza). but it's so quintessential to my lived experience that I was ASTOUNDED when my roommate (who comes from a state literally right next to Iowa) told me they had never heard of it, let alone had it.
breakfast pizza is the weirdest Iowan food. even weirder than those so-called "salads" that appear at every potluck and they always have for sale at Hy-Vee.
#I'm not going to say nowhere else has breakfast pizza#I know that is patently false#but with just how much it's a part of Iowan culture#and how it's not really widespread#breakfast pizza is to me an Iowan Food#btw I'm not lying about Iowa gas station pizza being good#my family regularly orders gas station pizza instead of like Domino's or Pizza Hut or whatever#and Casey's pizza is so good I considered having it for my birthday one year#but they didn't have gluten-free crust so I was just going to eat the toppings#THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS. I WANTED IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY JUST FOR THE CHEESE AND SAUCE#all right I'll stop being Aggressively Iowan now#ramble#speecher speaks

#personal#i hate buying pies cause they always have additives and too much sugar#fruit has sugar why add more??? and then it's unhealthy and too sweet#like I LOVE the crust on the costco pies... it tastes so fake lol.... but the filling on the pumpkin one is way too much sugar#u can't taste the PUMPKIN anymore so i wanna make a pumpkin pie myself ;__;#or an apple custard pie with baked apples on top that's a fave of mine to make too ;~;

Our sister site handled all the sides we sold for thanksgiving. Which is good, because they weren’t in our way for most of the day unlike last year. It’s bad because I know what we sell these sides for and I’m fucking embarrassed of their quality.
#everyone raving about G’s 3 dozen pies and how good they looked#well just like last year I took one that didn’t sell home and if I’d paid full price I’d be livid#pumpkin pie—store bought mass produced crust; filling obviously mixed (badly) to make 36+ pies at a time#so egg and spice distribution sucked. bad. Marie calendar does it better for half the price#apple pie—so pretty with its lattice crust! that was made out of predone puff pastry and thus only required it to be cut then assembled#(no rolling out dough) and the ratio of puff pastry to apple filling was *fucked*. we cut costs by using less filling so the pie is dry#on top of that whoever cut the apples did it wrong—they cut too close to the cores and left all those little cellulose pieces#that protect the seeds in the mix so every other bite you’d get a bit of basically indigestible organic plasticine#and I’m not angry that G can’t make a pie; I’m angry he made a bunch of pies that were shitty#and we proceeded to sell them for damn near $30#before I was a butcher I was a baker; can u tell?

— Yan!Artist who purposely only asks you in his college to be his nude model for his art assignments (which may or may not have been faked, but that's beside the point).
And you didn't want to turn down the offer because he was paying $500 per hour, which for a college student like you whose living dime to dime whilst paying for loans that were dumped onto by your sperm doner and that leech of a woman who you have to put down as your mother on documents, was a sweet deal.
In those sessions, they would get lewder over time, such as him from asking you to spread your legs some more to asking you to put whipped cream on your nipples with cherries on top for an extra $1000.
You never really questioned it. I mean, rich artist kid who may or may not like to see others (its only you) with whipped cream on their chest and their lower half with cherries on top, who are you to judge. Never question the rich unless it's with kids and Dubai.
Along with his lewd requests, he'd asked about little tidbits of your life, rather than stalking, he'd rather hear it from you so you both can develop a happy little relationship which turns into dating then marriage then have 15 billion kids <3 who would refuse this lifestyle???
After staying in one pose for more than an hour, it was draining on you, so you asked for a break. You decided to use the restroom, but the penthouse layout was a little too confusing and ended up opening the wrong door.
Your mouth was slightly open from the shock. The portraits of you over the last couple of months all had some dried up crust that looked like it was splattered all over the paintings. The floor wasn't better, either with tissues haphazardly strewn across the floor scrunched up and it smelt bad.
Too bad you couldn't open your mouth to complain because you got knocked out by an easel stand.
Fuck the rich.
Also, I've hit 60 followers! yayyyyy!!! I'm not sure if i should do a special or not cus I might make a special with bunny yan y omega yan with a male reader becos omega yan likes males more than females sooo why not and bunny yan doesn't care. Not proofread.

I first became fascinated with it a few years ago when I noticed it out an airplane window on a flight from Texas to Southern California. In an expanse of endless desert, suddenly, a vast body of water. When I got home, I immediately looked it up on a map. The Salton Sea.
It’s the largest landlocked body of water in California. It sits right on top of the San Andreas Fault at over 200 feet below sea level. It is more than twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean. It is completely toxic. And I had never heard of it before then.
(photo essay under the cut)
In the early 1900s the Colorado River was diverted through a series of irrigation canals in order to provide water for the farmlands of Imperial Valley. One of the head-gates broke during a flood, and the desert basin filled with water for 2 years before it was fixed. The unexpected lake soon became a popular vacation destination; it was stocked with fish, and resorts and hotels popped up along its shores. It became known as a great place for sport fishing, waterskiing, and yacht parties. Big name celebrities visited. At one point, it had more annual visitors than Yosemite.
Salton Sea has no outlet, and is only filled via agricultural runoff. As the water evaporated in the hot desert sun, the lake became more and more saline. Chemicals began to build up from the run off causing toxic algae blooms, and mass die-offs of fish and birds started in the 80s. By the 90s, the beaches were littered with fish gills and bird bones and the resorts were abandoned. The lake began to dry up as irrigation run-off was diverted away. The exposed lake bed is also toxic, and the high desert winds kick up the dust, making the air poisonous.
Despite the unpleasant odor, the noxious air and the summer temperatures regularly reaching 120°, a renaissance of sorts began in the early 2010s. Artist and nomad colonies began to spring up around Salton Sea. Bombay Beach, once a popular resort destination, is now mostly a ghost town, but the folks who remain have turned the ruins on the shores into an outdoor art installation gallery where the found-art sculptures are cyclically destroyed by the elements and then replaced with new ones. Many of the houses and RVs in town are themselves art pieces.
In nearby Slab City, a settlement of off-the-grid lifestylers, you can find even more folk art. Salvation Mountain is a manmade hill painted with bright colors and bible verses and maintained by a community of volunteers. East Jesus is a sculpture garden and art installation.
This past weekend my partner and I finally made the pilgrimage to the Sea. California has the benefit of being home to a huge array of biomes. In just a couple of hours you can travel from snowy mountain peaks to lush oases to endless sand dunes. Driving the hour or so south from Palm Springs towards Salton Sea is like driving towards the end of the world.
Bombay Beach especially enamored me. The beach is crusted with salt and millions of tiny shells and bones. It smells awful, like sewage and chemicals and low-tide and rotting fish. You drive out onto the beach and park anywhere amongst the sculptures and deteriorating resort ruins. The art feels raw in a way I haven’t experienced before. It reminds me of seeing paleolithic cave art. Humans made this, with no motivation other than to create something intriguing or beautiful or sad. Not much can live out here, but what you find fills me with a great adoration for humanity. Despite the asphyxiation of the natural world, the human spirit persists.
#im sure most people know about this place but i didnt so!!#i hated writing essays in school but now in my 30s i do it for fun apparently#photos are all mine except the first one#salton sea#bombay beach#slab city#salvation mountain
