Rhapsody in TET

[Auremena]

I'm confused at the relevance? Maybe it's cause I've had a drink tonight or I'm just some stupid fucking idiot and should shut my mouth already.

Also cooking. Cooking's a particularly motivating thing at least for me.

Jobs are for dough. Hobbies and political engagement are for meaning.

Not sure how making sure people have access to basic medical treatment like simple yet life saving medications and vaccines is a hobby or political engagement... the dough is irrelevant when there are those dying of eminently treatable conditions and I could be easily help do that with the proper support (not to mention explore new locales otherwise difficult to access and all sorts of interesting people and interesting things abound,) but without any sort of real social ability, how do I get coach to be like AURE ARE YOU READY? GOOD CAUSE YOU"RE GOIN'!

You said that was something you weren't ready for so I suggested some other things that help make a person less mopey.

Not ready mostly cause I can't do that bit about convincing them to send me in.
Like if someone told me that I was going to touch down in say Bangui in September to fight an epidemic say, I'd make myself ready.
All the reasons I'm not ready are my fault though, even if indirectly. Kinda fucked myself too bad to climb out in a lot of regards.
The theory is more of how do I crawl out of my failhole when it's meaning I seek?
It feels futile to think that I can do... anything meaningful. If I did anything it was on accident and didn't intend what it actually did or didn't intend anything and/or made things worse.

[Ethel mermania]

I have a craving for lobster mac and cheese

Never made mac and cheese actually. It's on my to-try list.

Very simple, very Scandinavian - American.

'K. But 'til then, quilting's also cool.

Oh I know it's a simple sort of dish, I just never got around to it.

I wouldn't put lobster in it though. Not a fan of shellfish.

Sounds casserole-y. Could be good. Won’t know. Lobster hates me.

Oooh, crafting. I tried crocheting a while ago. Not very good at it but it helps pass the time.

Another reason for me to hate lobster.

Theruuuu, hold me.

Truthfully, I’m allergic to lobster. Funny thing is, I don’t have issue with any other shellfish.

I gave that project up ages ago. I found my thing in the kitchen. Cooking's my antidepressant. Gonna get a new slowcooker tomorrow, I have a machine that works for it but it's technically a nabe pot so I wanna get a proper slowcooker to do neat lentil soup with.

Girl, that’s awesome. Anything that’s soothing and productive like that is great.

idk how I'm supposed to take up something new when I've still got half finished and some never started games in my steam library I probably won't ever touch...
Maybe a non-sequetur, but it's the execution of purpose I need, not just something to occupy me.

I'm not that good at the part where I'm supposed to eat the things but on the plus side, not being a greedy eater means one load of cooking lasts four days. And those are four days where I get up happy knowing I made something elaborate that I get to indulge in.

Curry's the current hit, doing a curry tuna stew for a friend next week. After the chicken mystery box on Tuesday for an entirely different friend.



...I've got a lot of friends who need some cookin' done for them.

I don't seek purpose, I build it.

Curry’s always a good choice. I often make veggie curry, over steamed jasmine or basmati rice. Delicious and filling.

Those friends of yours are lucky.

That lentil curry stew thing I did with roasted cashew nuts and lime together with some jasmine rice a while ago was my gateway, I want moar. Moar. Moar.

It's treatable with my patented prescription cream.

You may feel a stinging sensation but don't worry, usually all the venom's filtered out.

Pfft, I am married, I am immune to stinging sensations.

Never could stand shellfish. Not even shrimp. Actually especially not shrimp. Shrimp is one of the two worst tastes I know. The other one's raisin.

Saffron's a close third.

Curses. Once again I am undone by Mrs. Mermania.

I miss having my own kitchen. The mustard glazed turkey burgers on a waffle bun with fried egg and maple syrup was a food of beauty.
Yes I was stoned when I came up with it shut up >.>
