I feel like the Noble Bell Compound is very religious and cult like. It's gotta be rough to be a woman there, like handmaid's tale vibes
Terribly rough. T_T and you are so right. It's extremely cult-like. It's the situation in which the leader (Rollo) comes in to help when all hope seems lost and everyone thinks he's an absolute saint when he builds the compound up with sensibility and sturdier foundations and walls, as well as fostering such crooked ideals. A lot of people within the compound look up to him, treat him like he's some savior or a prophet, and Rollo always seems to know best. His two righthand men are so blindly faithful to him, and Rollo appears so kind and fair with everyone, including those within his close-knit circle. He's just so forgiving, so sweet. How could anyone distrust him? How could he lead anyone astray?
The entire compound feels like a utopia amidst so much dystopia, but the people who reside within don't see what lies beneath the compound in underground dungeons, where misbehaving nuisances are kept and silenced. Anyone who tries to question things, who tries to speak out against the little paradise Rollo has manufactured so dearly, so carefully, so graciously, conveniently vanishes to who-knows-where. No one questions anything because Rollo always has a perfect lie at the ready to keep the masses calm and collected.
Being a woman in the compound is not fun. At all. :( you're treated warmly (at first) just so you'll be tricked into a false sense of security, so you'll be more likely to accept the conditions in which you will be kept (and used). But the longer you spend amidst so many other brides, the clearer it becomes that you are not in equal standing with the others in this compound and Rollo certainly doesn't seem to think you are anything more than livestock meant for reproduction. However terrible his views are, Rollo still ensures the women are given adequate protection and care. After all, he isn't a monster (so he claims). You'll live comfortably (not as comfortably as those who are more privileged, but it's better than nothing), and you're given healthy meals each morning, afternoon, and night. You live like anyone else would, but there are a few rules that permit only to you.
For one, every woman within the compound must remain a virgin. If you don't bleed or feel any pain/discomfort the first time your husband takes you, you're seen as impure, a liar, a filthy slut. And when you're labeled as such, you're treated as such. Rollo conducts pussy inspections to make sure everyone is healthy and oh-so-pure (how he gleans that from running his gloved fingers along your folds or even forcing two inside your tight warmth just to see you squirm, you have no idea. He always spends extra time examining you; the brides gossip over this, eagerly insisting with hushed whispers that the compound leader fancies you. You shudder to think someone like Rollo would ever have his eye on you.)
Additionally, every bride must always wear white. It's a soft color, the symbolism of purity. You're meant to be demure and obedient things, subservient to the men who will choose from the lot of you as if you're nothing more than candy in a jar, eaten as easily as you are discarded. Every morning, it is mandatory that the brides stand before the compound leader and, in unison, list their vows, all of which have been stamped into your memory like a bad tattoo. Every morning, you promise you are pure, insist that your only hopes and dreams are to provide for the compound, to be good mothers, to be good brides, to remain untouched by sin, to remember these vows and hold them close to your heart. Essentially, by participating in this daily routine, you strip away parts of yourself and replace them with the parts the compound wants you to have, and by verbalizing them so often you'll begin to believe them, especially when everyone around you shares the same opinions and feelings on the matter. It is the finest form of brainwashing. And to make matters worse, to cement these ideals that have been practically engraved into you, Rollo always applauds the lot of you, smiles with so much satisfaction, praises everyone for such pleasant mindsets.
Every month his voice seems less like the harshest, grating static and more like a heavenly choir because, for all you've endured and will continue to endure, he is still the only beacon of light in this dark, dismal world.
#twisted chit chat#twst apocalypse au#yandere twst#n/sfw#tw: misogyny#he is so gross!! so vile ew!!!!! >_<#but i would comply so quickly if he wanted to inspect me#anything for you mr. compound leader <3 <3#i would say any other compound is better than noble bell#but when your compound is run by a man with the biggest breeding kink (*ahem* azul malleus kalim *ahem*)#there is no such thing as a 'better safer compound'#actually to correct myself when your compound is run by MEN there is no better safer compound lol ;;;;

Attempting Biscuits
Right, so it's been a long time since I've had proper Southern sourdough biscuits. To my knowledge, there's not a family recipe written down, and I have only 2 decades experience eating them and watching my parents make them to go off of.
This year I'll be both hosting Thanksgiving and responsible for the lion's share of the meal, and I'd like to attempt making Southern dressing, of which sourdough biscuits make a part.
Furthering the difficulty, I need to attempt to make these biscuits celiac-safe. I am bending on the point of dairy-- while I have an intolerance, I don't want to replace buttermilk unless absolutely necessary.
I'm starting with:
- 1 cup gfJules all purpose flour
- 1 1/2tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4tsp iodized salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (8tbsp) of Crisco Vegetable shortening
I chose the shortening over lard specifically because I've seen it prepared both ways and I'm testing out the way it rises for me before I broaden my horizons (and, also, I can be assured that Crisco is safe)
My family has always baked biscuits in a 9" cake round, so I did the same, essentially shoving them all into it. My concerns with the raw dough is that they were more flat discs, though I tried very hard not to overwork it. My one good note about it is that the dough smells correct to me.
I put it in the oven at 350f and I'll cook it until it smells right.

You mentioned gastroparesis in a recent post.
Any tips for someone suspecting it?
(maybe gross: tw vomit)
I literally vomited up food somewhat in tact the other morning that I ate over twelve hours beforehand, and I know that's not normal. Smaller meals help greatly, and the PPI I was on made it worse. Off that one now. Sulfasalazine has also made it worse. Have to keep that one.
I've also noticed high water content meals (like soup) digest much easier.
Is there a point at which you should definitely go to the doctor about this issue? What is it?
Thank you for your time!
If you're vomiting more than once a month, it's recommended to see a doctor. Tho honestly I'd recommend going if you see a pattern too. It's always better to be safe then sorry.
I definitely understand vomiting up food hours after I ate it. It is definitely a big sign you might have gastroparesis (tho there are other reasons and sometimes gastroparesis develops because of something else and is therefore temporary).
Soup is definitely a good food to eat. Any meat or vegetable in it will be soft and tender and soft and tender means it's easier to digest. The same goes for things like noodles vs bread. Noodles will be easier to digest then bread. Liquid fruits and vegetables are easier to eat then solid.
One suggestion I'd give is limit intake of high fiber foods. Fiber is super hard to digest and sits in the stomach longer than most foods. Boiling vegetables makes them easier to digest tho tbh mine is bad enough I usually drink my vegetables (buy the expensive produce aisle stuff and drink like half a glass a day). I believe corn and I think cherries are also supposed to be avoided because they often form a bezoar in the stomach which makes it even harder to digest food.
Avoid high fat content and greasy foods. Go for fat free or 1% milk products when you can. Anything higher is harder to digest. Use margarine instead of butter. Don't eat cold pizza (I miss it smh lol). Air fry things or throw them in the oven, don't use an oil fryer.
Avoid tough meat. Chew meat thoroughly. Really, chew everything thoroughly. Lean meat is also easier to digest. I honestly probably don't get enough protein and should get those fancy protein drinks or replacement bars. Give em a try if you want.
I don't eat spicy food much but it does irritate the stomach and can make nausea worse so it's recommended you avoid it.
Also try to avoid eating skins on fruits (apples, grapes, cherries, etc). These are also tough to digest.
Listen to your stomach. If you're feeling bloated and nauseous and a meal is coming up, don't try to force regular food down. I usually eat a small serving of 1% cottage cheese and/or slow drink a breakfast essential for a meal if I need to. You can always snack later if you feel like it.
Make sure you're not eating and then going to bed immediately after. Give your body a few hours to digest it first. As someone who sometimes naps after meals, it's not fun to wake up nauseous and that's just an hour or 3 hour nap. Doing a whole night isnt a good idea. Sleeping slows digestion down even more.
Drink water after you eat. Water aids in digestion. You can still drink too much water and make things worse obviously but drinking after a meal even just a little bit often makes my stomach feel better and often will even make me feel a little less bloated if I was dumb and ate too much too fast.
Good luck with everything. Hopefully you can get some control over this issue.

Plot summary of "Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning!"
digimon fandom deleted my plot summary of "Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning. So I'm posting it here
Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning
In February 2012, a giant, shiny egg appears above the Tokyo Skytree. At the same time, people all around the world receive a message stating that "everyone is going to have friends, everyone is going to have a Digimon".
On February 28th, 2012, Davis Motomiya and Veemon invite the other Digimon Adventure 02 protagonists and their Digimon to a meal at the ramen bar where they work. There they see a report on television about a young man having climbed up the Skytree to talk with the giant egg. They head there, just in time for the Digimon to catch said guy, who had fallen off. He introduces himself as Lui Ohwada and claims to have been the first child with a Digimon partner. While he shows them his broken Digivice, the kids wonder why he is not accompanied by a Digimon partner. He refuses to give them an answer, but asks them to destroy the giant egg on his behalf, to which they agree. Davis and Ken use Paildramon to fly towards the egg, together with Rui, and attack it, but are unsuccessful. Instead, they fall off Paildramon and right into the egg.
When regaining consciousness, they discover that they have travelled back in time to February 29th, 1996. They see a young Rui, who had birthday that day. Rather than celebrating, he is seen growing up unhappily, with a comatose father and an abusive mother, who locks him out on the balcony. There, a Digi-Egg appeared and hatched into Ukkomon. The Digimon promised Lui to make all his wishes come true, with adult Lui explaining that it had the actual power to do so. Young him had thereafter wished for a happy family life, and for himself and everyone in the world to have friends. Ukkomon had promised to make it come true by his next birthday.
The DigiDestined are thereafter returned to the present. They head towards their old school, where Lui explains what had happened subsequently. His father had awoken from his coma, and his mother had become friendlier towards him, with both of them accepting Ukkomon into the family. Furthermore, his wish had created a bond between Digimon and human children, whom had subsequently began meeting their Digimon partners, essentially setting the events of the Digimon Adventure universe in motion. As Lui had been happy on his next birthday in 2000, and more and more children became friends with Digimon, Ukkomon felt like it was fullfilling its promise.
However, in 2004, Lui became disillusioned, once he noticed that Ukkomon had robbed his parents and other children off their free will. He also realized that the bond between Digimon and humans was leading to fighting and destruction. In rage, he had destroyed his Digivice, damaging his eye in the process. Ukkomon replaced the eye with one of its own, but Lui had still felt dissatisfied, and expressed that he did not want Ukkomon in his life anymore. Feeling that it had lost its purpose, Ukkomon then regressed back into a Digiegg, along with leaving Lui's parents for dead. The Digiegg was identical to the one that now hovered above Tokyo Skytree.
Shortly after Lui finishes his story, the clock strikes twelve: It’s Lui’s birthday again. The giant Digiegg then transforms into a giant, shiny creature resembling Ukkomon, but equipped with far more tentacles. Each tentacle comes with a Digiegg attached, through which the children conclude that Ukkomon is attempting to give every human on the planet a Digimon partner over the course of the day. Worried that this would cause an insufferable amount of chaos, maybe even the world’s destruction, they agree to stop it. Lui urges the other Digidestined to kill Ukkomon, but they refuse, concluding that this might destroy the partnership between humans and Digimon for good. Instead, they convince him that Ukkomon merely wishes to reconcile, and that this is what Rui also should do.
To have Lui and Ukkomon meet, the Digidestined's Digimon evolve: First to Champion level, and then to their DNA Digivolved forms. Fighting the giant Ukkomon creature along the way, they manage to bring Lui to it, who then enters its body. Lui finds himself back on his birthday in 1996. He manages to create an oppertunity to speak with Ukkomon on his own, where they manage to speak out reconcile. However, Lui is told that Ukkomon's giant version in the present still needs to be destroyed.
Back in 2012, Lui informs the Digidestined of his success. Imperialdramon subsequently fights and manages to defeat the giant Ukkomon. Following the battle, Ukkomon’s normal sized Digiegg materializes back into Lui’s hand, who also loses his artificial eye. While he promises a fresh start for them, Digivices all around the world suddenly begin disappearing. The DigiDestined conclude that they have become a relic of the path, due to the fact that a strong partnership and will for conflict resolution alone are enough to maintain the bond between a Digimon and its human partner.

Savon Sanomat was among the papers carrying an STT news agency report that one in two Finnish mortgage borrowers has reduced spending on daily expenses or switched to buying more affordable products due to rising prices and interest rates.
The figure is from a survey released by Danske Bank which also showed that about half have had to reduce expenditure on non-essential consumption, such as clothing purchases and restaurant meals.
"Some households have been disproportionately affected by the rise in prices and interest rates. In the big picture, however, Finnish mortgage borrowers are doing well. Although reducing everyday expenses is currently a common topic of conversation, according to the study, it affects only every second Finnish mortgage debtor," Sari Takala, Danske Bank's head of personal loan services is quoted as saying in a release.
Conducted by YouGov Finland, the survey asked respondents how they had adjusted their spending.
A quarter said that they have not had to make any changes in their finances due to rising interest rates or prices. Ten percent said that they have had to postpone the payment of some other bills. Eight percent answered that they had to rely on financial help from family members. Six percent had had to take out a new loan.
"It's good to remember that everyone has their own, personal level of inflation. If there is no room for manoeuvre in your own finances, you should find out from your bank whether, for example, an extension of the loan period or a repayment holiday would help the situation," Takala said.
Hypermarkets to the rescue?
Helsingin Sanomat looks at the possibility of hypermarkets revitalising the capital's city centre.
It notes that the idea has proven to be successful in Tampere where a Prisma hypermarket is doing well after replacing a downtown department store.
Mika Sivula, the southern Finland regional manager for Kesko, a company with about 1,800 stores in Finland and abroad, told the paper that he believes that there would be sufficient demand for a selection of hypermarkets in the centre of Helsinki.
"But the problem is that it is very challenging to find large enough business premises in the densely built-up centre," he pointed out.
One of Kesko's K-citymarkets would require nearly 10,000 square metres of retail space, preferably all under one roof. In addition, transportation connections, and access by private car, would be a key factor. In this context, HS notes the issue of frequent street works in the city centre.
City officials do not object to the idea. Helsinki's director for urban environment, Ville Lehmuskoski, told the paper, "If there's a demand for it and it's a service that's wanted, the city will try to make it easier."

Finland's high Covid death rate
Ilta-Sanomat reports that WHO figures show Finland to have registered the largest number of Covid deaths per one million inhabitants in Europe over the past 12 months.
Lasse Lehtonen, director of diagnostics at the Helsinki Universitry Hospital HUS, pointed out that the WHO collects statistical data from every country in the same way, with all persons who tested positive for coronavirus infections who have died within 30 days of infection being counted as Covid deaths.
Lehtonen considers WHO's statistical method "rough and simple", but the best available to make global comparisons.
"It is not the truth, above all it describes variations among the countries," Lehtonen said. "It does not measure the absolute number of coronavirus deaths, but how different countries rank in relation to each other."
The method used by Finland's Institute of Health and Welfare (THL) is based on a screening of death certificates which specify the coronavirus as the actual cause of death, or when it is recorded as a contributing factor.
Over the past year, more than 3,000 deaths from coronavirus infections have been recorded in Finland, which put the country at the top of the per capita list in Europe.
The overall total number of deaths attributed to coronavirus in Finland exceeded 10,000 at the beginning of July 2023. The total number in Finland is now clearly higher than in Norway and Denmark, which are roughly the same size in terms of population, but also clearly more densely populated.
Still cold, still wet
Iltalehti told readers that the latest monthly weather forecast calls for colder than usual weather for the first two full weeks of November.
Temperatures are expected to be about 1 to 3 degrees Celsius cooler than usual in large parts of the country. In southern Finland, temperatures will be more or less normal for the time of year.
Next week, starting 6 November, more rain than usual is likely to be seen in the south and in areas in the east.
"Unusually rainy weather can be expected in the southern and eastern parts of the country, while in the north precipitation should be less than average," the paper quotes Foreca meteorologist Joonas Koskela as saying.
The week starting 13 November, almost the entire country will see more precipitation than usual. The weather during the week starting 20 November is expected to bring average seasonal temperatures and precipitation.
There are signs that the final week of the month will again be warmer than average.

VAMPIRES WILL NEVER HURT YOU : VAMPIRIC TRAITS
As Jude is a fandomless character , I take inspiration from various media and folklore for how his vampirism operates. These apply to all vampires within this original setting.
GENERAL TRAITS : These are things that occur when embraced and are typically physiological.
RETRACTABLE FANGS : Vampire fangs are not visible until they want them to be. It can be involuntary as well such as when experiencing very strong emotions ( more common among fledglings ) or when very hungry.
UNSETTLING BEAUTY : Once embraced , vampires become supernaturally attractive in a way that is strangely alluring. Nothing drastic changes about their appearance but there is something about the quality that fundamentally changes in an almost faelike way. Vampires hunt better when their prey is intrigued by them.
TECHNICALLY DEAD : A person must die to become a vampire , and their body reflects this. They are cold to the touch , have no heartbeat , etc. When it comes to doing things they could while living “there is no relief tied to the action” a la one of the only valid things to come out of Tw*light. Vampires can eat but everything tastes like ash. They can breathe but there is no satisfactory sensation like when they were mortal and alive. They can sleep , but have no need to save for avoiding sunlight which can be circumvented as well. However , drugs and alcohol do affect them somewhat , but both are stronger when someone they feed on has recently partaken.
DRINK BLOOD : An obvious one but vampires can only sustain themselves on blood. Animal blood is an option , but it is extremely unsatisfying and surviving on it only requires near constant feeding. Drinking human blood is generally required at minimum every few days. If one does not feed they begin to take on a slightly more monstrous appearance ( more reflective eyes , veins turning black , visible fangs , etc. ) The quality of the human effects this as well : someone who is well off and thus able to afford to take good care of themselves is a better meal than someone who does not. Blood from a blood bank is only marginally less effective than a live human to the point it almost does not matter. A vampire can feed on other vampires but it is very difficult to do so. Draining someone entirely is the only way to fully satiate hunger and stop the ever present burn in your throat but it does not last long and runs the risk of discovery.
VENOMOUS SALIVA : There is essentially a toxin within vampires that allows them to better survive. Whenever they bite someone , there is momentary pain in their prey that is quickly replaced by a very pleasant and pleasurable feeling. It makes victims docile to allow them to feed and the linger effects leave them almost intoxicated for a little while after. It is with this same trait they can close the puncture wounds. And create other vampires.
EMBRACE : As is typical with vampire lore , the only way they can “reproduce” is through the bite , referred to as embracing. Someone must be almost completely drained of blood and killed before they can be turned into a creature of the night. Once this is done , the sire must feed their potential creation some of their own blood to complete the process. This means that having been fed upon does not automatically make someone a vampire and even then the toxin is “cycled out” after a few days anyway. The embrace is a very intentional act and why there is not an overabundance of vampires.
POWERS : Additional abilities that vampires have along the more supernatural line. Nearly all of these powers increase in strength as a vampire ages , and can weaken if one has not fed enough recently.
IMMORTAL : All vampires are undying , able to exist in perpetuity at the age they were embraced. They are already dead and there are few ways for them to meet a true death.
SUPERNATURAL CHARM : Vampires are not just physically alluring but literally so. They are able to take over the mind , to varying degrees , of other creatures. Their very presence can become more attracting , intimidating , or compelling with magical emotional manipulation. They can alter minds as well , confusing and altering memories , dominating any who can be influenced. Other vampires are more resistant to these effects , and few humans can without proper magical protection. When these powers are used , a slight tinge of red enters the iris coloring.
SUPERNATURAL PHYSICALITY : Even if they may not look it , all vampires have enhanced physical abilities. This includes supernatural strength , speed , reflexes , endurance , toughness , and senses. A vampire can will these abilities to exceed even vampiric basic standards in some cases at the cost of growing hungrier. For example , being fast enough to cross large distances in a moment , strong enough to stop a moving train , etc. though all of these obviously run the risk of mortal exposure. The state of a person during life when they were embraced does have some influence on the proportional vampiric abilities.
RAPID HEALING : Already difficult to damage , when a vampire is injured their body heals very quickly. A broken bone can typically be fixed within minutes.
WALL CLIMBING / WALKING : Vampires can walk or climb on vertical or upside down surfaces. They do not need to remain in motion and could theoretically sleep laying “down” on the ceiling if they feel like it.
THRALLS : In addition to being enthralling , vampires have the ability to create thralls. These are creatures , typically mortal humans , they are compelled into loyalty bordering on obsession in some cases. Thralls must be created by feeding vampire blood to the subject continuously over time in addition to repeated exposure to the mental manipulation of enthrallment.
WEAKNESSES : A list of weaknesses that often fatally affect vampires.
SUNLIGHT : The sun is fatal to vampires , though the burning process is not instantaneous. It takes a minute or two until it completely dissolves a vampire to dust. Vampire hunters can be especially cruel and leave a vampire tied up to meet the rising sun to draw out the true death. However , there is one way to prevent this from happening : an enchanted object of personal significance. Vampires have the ability to do this process themselves , but more often than not they require the assistance of a witch. Once the enchantment is complete , the object must be carried or worn and the vampire is able to walk in the sunlight. The moment it is removed from their person they can be burned. Only natural sunlight can kill a vampire ; manmade items like sunlamps do nothing.
BEHEADING : Removing the head results in immediate true death for a vampire. Due to their supernatural toughness , this is very difficult to do.
FIRE : While not an immediate death , fire is incredibly dangerous to vampires. It can burn them almost as quickly as sunlight and it impedes their regenerative healing significantly.
STAKE TO THE HEART : Whether it be wooden or not , being staked does not kill a vampire. Instead , it paralyzes them until it is removed and the injury takes time to heal. Some of the oldest of vampires go through the process of actually removing their heart , at the cost of deadening their emotions and morals , to prevent this possibility.
SILVER : Also not fatal though still dangerous. It does not burn them or anything as with werewolves , but it is easier to wound a vampire with silver weaponry. Like fire , it impacts their ability to rapidly heal their bodies after sustaining damage.
MYTHS : A list of other popular vampire lore that do not apply , or apply differently , to this setting.
HOLY PLACES / OBJECTS : If you could not tell by the nature of this blog , such things do not affect vampires , no matter the religion. There are supernatural wards that exist though , and have often been applied to holy places or objects , hence the prevalence of this myth.
ALCHEMY / MAGIC : Magic of the more physical than innate sense typically belongs to the realm of witches. However , vampires are capable of following the same practices and in fact are better equipped at grasping this talent than humans new to witchcraft and some other supernatural creatures. More specifically , vampires are able to take to blood magic very quickly if they are taught or learn it themselves due to their propensity for sanguine elements.
RUNNING WATER : Vampires are not affected by this in any way.
INVITATION : There is nothing stopping a vampire from coming into your home. Again , the wards that exist are often the cause of the belief in this limitation.
SHAPESHIFTING : Vampires cannot turn into bats , rats , dogs , clouds of mist , turn invisible , or anything like that.
ANIMAL AFFINITY : Animals are not able to be specifically commanded by vampires , but they are more susceptible to their ability to compel other beings.
GARLIC : This does not work as a vampire deterrent.
MIRRORS : Vampires do have reflections.
#( ♰ ) : study / meta .#this took so long LOOK AT IT#now y'all know how vamps work in this world asdfghjkl#ngl they are pretty basic but i think there are Enough interesting elements#that they aren't totally boring lmao#maybe one day i will write up a thing about#the expanded supernatural world that exists#like witches and werewolves and whatnot#maybe one day but definitely not today !

Anyone else ever run into not actually being able to put the things they like to cook to writing? Like, I thought “ooh, maybe I’ll dump a recipe to Tumblr, see if I can make that a thing and have that drive me to come up with more recipes”, then I sat down to write it and it ehm, did not necessarily go well. Here’s one for student-grade risotto:
Chop up some carrots and onions (how many? However many you feel like, you’ll get roughly a portion per one big onion or two small onions) in roughly equal amounts, bit more onion because that shrinks more. If you have other vegetables lying around that seem like a good idea, chop them up as well (but note you’ll get more portions per onion)
Put some oil in a pan
Optionally, before doing any of the lower-heat steps, brown whichever small meat replacement you like on medium-high heat. “Wokreepjes” (soy based stir-fry strips) work, so does tempeh.
Add the vegetables and sweat them (don’t forget to add a bit of salt) on medium-low heat (the more you’re willing to stir, the hotter and thus faster you can go, but avoid browning) until the onions are glazy and the carrots are starting to soften
Drain and add whichever canned legume you have handy, chickpeas and brown beans both work fine, so should lentils and whatever else, though some (esp. brown beans) will bind the result something fierce. These are your proteins and the reason the meat replacement in step 3 is optional.
While the legumes are warming up, put on a kettle for... about a litre per two-three portions?
Now add raw sticky rice, which will be about half of your mass after taking on water, so try to visually add about a third of what you have in your pan. Go to high heat, stir-fry for a minute, then turn down the heat to medium.
If you want to fortify your meal with vitamins, esp. B12 if you’re vegetarian, vegan, or close to it, the start of the next step is ideal for that if you have them in a form that readily falls apart (or dissolves) in water.
Add a bit of the hot water and some bouillon powder or cube(s) (enough for the amount of water you’re planning to add), stir until the water gets absorbed, add more, until the rice is done, which will likely take all the water you prepared in step 6, or about 10-15 minutes to give you an idea of how quickly you should be adding water. Also, it helps to stir and press quite a bit at this point to help the sticky rice to stick more
Turn off heat, put lid on, leave to stand for 10 minutes, then serve.
That’s not a recipe, that’s a sketch. It’s the scribbles from either a student or your grandma, the former because they don’t know how to cook, the latter because she does. How many? I don’t know. Weights and measures? Never heard of her. Which additional vegetables? Whichever you want. How much salt? To taste. What’s low or high heat? Whatever you feel it is. Legumes? Whatever’s handy. It assumes you already have a pretty good idea of not just how to cook, but how I, personally, happen to cook. It’s great for reminding me how it went, but to anyone else out there: good luck with it.
Maybe I’ll rework it into something actually usable later but the essential problem is that I don’t know how much of anything I’m really using, and might not use the same amount any two times. For now I’m going to rethink the idea of recipe blog posts. Sorry for the mess.

Five Reasons Why Burgers Are The Most Popular Fast Food Items In The World
Burgers are a popular choice for fast food establishments. They're quick and inexpensive, so they're perfect to satisfy your cravings without breaking the bank. You'll find many fast food restaurants that serve triple and double cheeseburgers. This will ensure you'll have plenty of choices that will meet your preferences and budget.
In-N-Out cheeseburger
The cheeseburger served at In-N-Out is one of the most sought-after fast food products around the globe. It includes two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, lettuce and onion as well as special sauce. It is also made from authentic American cheese. There are numerous ways to customize the cheeseburger, which means that anyone can order the right one.
Although Fried chicken sandwiches have attracted a lot of media attention recently, the cheeseburger is still the heart of fast food in America. You can find everything from classic drive-in burgers to basic value-priced burgers.
Wendy's Double Double

Menu Twenty-Eight
Vegetable Lasagne Verdi: lasagne sheets, spinach, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese.
Mushroom Sauce: onion, garlic, oil, butter beans, salt and pepper, oregano, sugar, tinned whole tomatoes.
Cheese Sauce: butter, flour, salt, pepper, nutmeg, cups, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese.
I remember almost every word ever said to me and ChatGPT once told me to be honest when I wrote retroactively. I’m writing at the tail end of Week Twenty-Four, about Week Twenty-Three. But I served my guests Menu Twenty-Eight, I was learning the same lesson as I did at the very beginning of this journey. Without alignment between weeks to menus I am left in disarray. Jung’s thesis around self-realisation was getting to me because he said it was nearly impossible for anyone but Jesus or Buddha to reach full self-realisation. I felt naive for setting out on this journey. I was nearing the end of the Primer and had learned that self-realisation could only be achieved if all parts of the self, the persona and the shadow, the ego and the anima, were fully integrated.
Essential elements
There was only one meal for Menu Twenty-Eight, a lasagne. Bishop and Carruthers broke the recipe down into three essential elements. Separate at first and then brought together at the end. The person before self-realisation. This was the third pasta dish of the journey, consecutively, because despite my previous thoughts and feelings around the non-linear nature of the journey I wanted to regain some direction.
I started on Wednesday evening with the Mushroom Sauce, mashing butter beans in a metal bowl. Garlic and onion were sauteed in my largest pan then combined with the mashed beans, tomatoes and spices. Left to simmer, but not for very long. The Cheese Sauce, was a simple roux with grated cheeses and nutmeg lightly stirred in. That was all I needed to do over the stove, under the extractor fan which I had not turned on. The lasagne was assembled in the glass dish, fresh spinach and cottage cheese thrown on instinctively between the layers. I let this sit as long as time allowed, Bishop and Carruthers had instructed for oven-ready pasta to be left to sit with the sauce for at least an hour, but I had not read the recipe prior to cooking. It went into the oven at the lowest temperature to cook for as long as the oven would function. Guests arrived during this time, my ex-flatmate the first to arrive, her first time as a guest. Change was not necessarily a theme I thought a lot about anymore, which was a change in and of itself, however change was apparent this week. The room she had once lived in was empty until the replacement moved in, and the violent change I had reported earlier in the journey came to fruition this week. I threw together a simple salad, as mentioned in the fine print down the side of the recipe. I had full creative license over the salad and went with a salad bag from the supermarket with avocado, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Served, to perfect guests
When dinner was served, I brought it out to a table of five eager guests. They knew I had made lasagne before. Compliments were paid to me, and praise offered to Bishop and Carruthers for the use of beans to bulk out a vegetarian lasagne. We discussed roux. At the end of the meal I felt no closer to a fully formed self, but a sense of promise in the process toward doing so. On the final day of the week, my two remaining flatmates and I had moved the dining table into the room that had previously been an unusable lounge, and before that my bedroom. The room had about as many lives as the person with a fragmented self. I hoped that the change in setting would reignite the Wednesday dinner moving forward.

Debunking Common Weight Loss Myths
Weight loss is a journey filled with challenges and misconceptions. It's crucial to separate fact from fiction to approach your goals effectively and healthily. Let's bust some of the most common weight loss myths that's been around through the years.
Myth 1: Extreme Diets Lead to Faster Weight Loss
Fact: While crash diets might offer immediate results, they are unsustainable and can harm your health. According to nutrition experts, a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrients is the key to healthy weight loss. Sustainable changes lead to lasting results.
Myth 2: Skip Meals to Lose Weight Quickly
Fact: Skipping meals can backfire. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that missing meals can lead to increased hunger, causing overeating later. Regular, balanced meals support metabolism and aid in weight management. When short on time, consider meal replacements like VidaSlim, a well-rounded meal replacement with proteins and essential nutrients for your weight loss plan.
While some meal replacements may not offer a complete nutritional profile, VidaSlim is formulated with a focus on balanced nutrition. It provides a blend of proteins and essential nutrients, making it a wholesome choice for a diet plan for weight loss. This is scientifically proven since Vidaslim was sold as a prescription based product for a long time. Finally, over the years, it's been moved to the counter for better accessibility.
Myth 3: Fat Makes You Fat
Fact: Not all fats are bad. Sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil provide healthy fats that are essential for your body. The Harvard School of Public Health states that healthy fats are crucial for nutrient absorption and can help keep you satiated.
Myth 4: Carbohydrates are the Enemy
Fact: Carbs are often unfairly demonized. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, are an essential energy source and should be a part of a balanced weight loss diet. They provide fiber, which helps in digestion and maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Myth 5: Intense Daily Exercise is Necessary for Weight Loss
Fact: While exercise is important, its intensity doesn't always equate to effectiveness. Consistency is key. Moderate activities like brisk walking or swimming can be highly effective when done regularly, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Myth 6: All Calories are Equal
Fact: The quality of calories matters. 200 calories from a doughnut are not the same as 200 calories from fruits and vegetables. Nutrient-dense foods provide more than just calories - they offer vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients essential for good health.
Myth 7: Weight Loss is Linear and Consistent
Fact: Weight loss is rarely a straight path. Plateaus and fluctuations are normal, as the body adjusts to changes in diet and exercise. Patience and perseverance are crucial, as emphasized by weight loss experts.
Conclusion: A Balanced Approach is Key
Understanding these myths is vital in navigating the complex world of weight loss. A balanced diet, regular physical activity, and a focus on overall well-being are the cornerstones of effective and healthy weight management. Remember, the journey to weight loss is unique to each individual, and what works for one may not work for another.
