My father in-law got me a Weber Kettle grill as an early birthday present. I assembled it yesterday and plan on using it today for some burgers. It's being baptized by a thunderstorm right now.

Lana and Hazel snuggling with me.

I started a new med (fluoxetine) and my executive functioning has been a LOT better. I’ve only been on it a few weeks but I am already noticing such a huge difference. I’ve been cooking, cleaning, exercising. Is this what the normies do??

    Kitten only wanted to whine. She stopped but now she's sulky. She was given a small dab of cream cheese and is now snoozing.

    Storm, the tomatoes survived

    Well

    Some of the leaves are fucked from the 100+ heat but oh well.

    Going to buy weed and try and plant some jalapeños outside today. Then play Stonetop.

    I got a small(It's about a 15cm square) dehumidifier, I don't expect it to help much with the heatwave but I can see results of it in the collection tank already after only being on for a few hours.

    I've spoken twice since I last mentioned the no speaking so that's an improvement.

    I love my charcoal grill. I watched a lot of Good Eats as a kid, and Alton Brown's YouTube channel as an adult. Natural chunk charcoal > briquettes. A charcoal chimney is great for starting it.

    He likes to put cooking oil on newspaper or butcher paper to light the chimney. Personally since I have a natural gas stove top, I just put the chimney on our biggest burner on high for like a minute. Yes, there's technically a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning fron burning charcoal indoors, but I only do it long enough to light it and I usually open a window. It makes the drove a bit messy but its not terrible.

    I love grilling a whole pack of burgers, a couoke packs of hot dogs, and like 5lbs of chicken breast or pork loin or something. Then we freeze some ans refrigerate some- its like a partial meal prep fkr the next 2 weeks where the entree just needs reheated and we can make sides as-needed.

    bad news: my

    Tap for spoilermy carreer is a flaming wreckage. nobody in my field will hire me and i'm going to melt down at my current workplace if i don't leave immediately.

    interviewing at fast food today, wondering how to explain how it comes to be that a middle-aged person applying there without seeming like a total fuck up.

    and i have a very nice version of a gordon nightfoot song which incorporates some of my spanish guitar playing with a thiik some generous loans from leo kottke
