Sardines are great in a sandwich and are healthy. I love sardines and thin sliced onions with some mayo as a sandwich, yum. Homemade hummus also cheap and healthy, and if you bought mayonnaise make a little slaw for that too.
Lentils on toast are good & healthy, not a sandwich but would leverage your bread.
I agree that nobody should be eating anything they would not prepare - I don't hunt because I don't like camping and am a terrible shot, would be a menace with a gun. But I have gently raised chickens, and am at ease with eating meat, and DO want to know what I am eating. So hunted fowl and grass fed ranch animals are great, , I try to eat less meat humanely raised. We are animals and omnivores and we belong to this cycle of life.
People who want meat as a sanitized experience, who don't want to think about what they are eating, that does bother me. Vegans don't bother me, that makes sense. Hunters (for food) don't bother me. Fishing kinda does, because the oceans are so overfished, we need to lay off awhile.
Anyway - I do think it's ethical, a deer is going to be somebody's food and a quick death is gentler than what a different predator would do.
I was really happy to be able to vote for her, even though she didn't win & I hate A.Moody. It's so unusual to have a chance to vote FOR someone and not just against the greater evil. I really wish we could have turned out enough people to get her elected but it was pretty close and she is genuinely progressive.
That is funny to me; I love seeing beautiful people but they don't stun me like that, I can't really be attracted to someone I've not met. And I couldn't define a "most beautiful" because there are just so many different ways to be beautiful.
I'm old enough to remember Ann Richards, and Lawton Childs here. Texas, and Florida too, are still close to 50/50, just gerrymandered to hell and back. It's nice for Texas, I am happy for them, and Georgia too. Sorry that we couldn't get enough people out, I kinda like Angie Nixon, it would have been great to have a progressive voice for FL. 4,207,947 votes for Moody (the traitor) 3,969,186 for an honest to God progressive.
Cheap and comfortable at least. Easy only after you figure out what suits your figure and style. At which point I think I'd even add "fun".
Nile crocodiles eat about once a week on average and can eat twice a year and survive. I wouldn't count on a t-rex expiring from hunger in a month. Maybe from all the new germs, if it was time-traveled in, but not starvation.
But it's in your field of vision like that, in the way of what it's blocking? Any sort of hallucination like that really should be explained by a doctor because what if it's some brain disorder that can be treated? And will harm you if untreated?
I feel uniquely qualified to answer this, unfortunately, as someone who has given birth naturally several times and passed a kidney stone when I was 20.
The stone was more terrifying because I didn't know what was happening, I had intense pain and was pissing blood, thought I was dying but by the next day felt nothing and when I went to the doctor he said "you passed a stone, it's gone now, drink more water."
I have had migraines more painful than either, but not as urgent feeling as the bladder stone, if that makes sense. They are depressing not terrifying. Childbirth hurts but doesn't feel like either, it's productive and sort of exciting, you are having a baby. So it hurts a lot but without the negative emotions it's easier in a way.
ETA after reading Velma's post - I never had labor for days with mine, 2 (the first and last) were "precipitous" which basically means I only got the worst part of labor and only for about 20 minutes, one I got the ideal, about 4 hours so time to get used to it and gentler start, and one did take over a day but that was because water broke and no labor, had to be induced (with acupuncture!) and an induced labor hurts more so that was the most painful one, but only a couple of hours. So when I say childbirth not as bad I mean not a complicated one.
This is so normal. I always sort of thought it was nature trying to replace the person who died. It does feel weird but is very common.
Yeah this is for sure a good situation for "fake it till you make it."
Just say hi to everyone when you see them. Once a day talk to a different person for awhile, you will find out who is more friendly. I'm not naturally social or outgoing and I'm at at ease with that, but people can interpret it as unfriendly, so I try to communicate the way each person likes, to some extent. It may not come naturally to you but YOU ARE NOT ALONE in that. We just learned by practicing.
Got near a hundred mini watermelon this year, the very late ones were no good but for a couple months they were glorious. Mini love variety, it was a brutally hot summer and they flourished, I let them take over the whole garden.
Two plants survived being overrun by watermelon, the asparagus and the hong tsoi. I'm sort of resting it until "spring" which is planted around Feb here.
Very basic scoring this time. One line one x. I was happy to find some "golden whole wheat flour" yesterday.
350g Golden whole wheat flour
650g strong white bread flour
20g sel gris
675g tap water
200g starter made with all purpose white flour and tap water, hydration 100%.
Just mix, rest, stretch and fold 4x at 30 minute intervals. Bulk rise took awhile, maybe 4 hours this time (it varies, one hour to 8 - is a condition not a time). Split and bench rest then shaped, into cloth lined baskets wrapped in plastic bags, overnight in the refrigerator. Baked cold bread in very hot closed pans 20 minutes then open lids and 20 minutes more. 450F.
(Sorry for the mixed measurements - I had a bunch of egg white so had to weigh out 1 egg worth)
35 grams egg white
1 Tbsp guava jelly or guava paste
1 oz good mezcal
1/2 oz over proof reposado tequila
1/2 oz Aperol
3/4 oz lemon juice
ETA I failed to list one step. First: whisk or muddle the jelly and booze to incorporate it.
Shake without ice, then with ice. Just as good as it sounds and so beautiful.
It's not a looker, but tastes great.
2 oz tequila (any)
1 oz lime juice
1 oz creme de cassis
2-3 oz ginger beer (I used 1 oz ginger syrup, 3 oz fizzy water, 2 squirts of fire tincture)
Result of googling "what else can I make with tequila and lime"
Husband is having a Stella, that's the bottle in the background.
He's up to 7.5 lb from under 1 lb when we found him. (From 300 grams of baby to 3.5kg of kitten in only a few months, crazy.)
Here is a "before", the day my kids texted to say they found the source of the meowing I had heard before work. Just a wee handful. Always bold as anything though, he was never afraid of us or our 75lb mutt of a dog.
1 oz barrel strength bourbon
1 oz barrel strength reposado tequila
1 scant oz Aperol with a splash of Campari to make an ounce.
1 oz Amaro Nonino
1 oz grapefruit juice
1 oz lemon juice
Shake together with ice. If you are somewhere it's not still summer, serve up in a chilled coupe. Tart enough for a sugared rim. But it's still hot here, so everything is iced. This is sort of 1.5 servings, I just find it fussy to measure .75 of an ounce. Equal parts is the key.

Equal parts tequila, mezcal, Apricot liqueur and lime, half part Aperol works best IMO, any more Aperol and it gets too sweet.
This is a pantry recipe for me as I keep Giffard Abricot in stock always. You want a good apricot in this, I think passion fruit or peach would be equally delicious but make sure it's made from real fruit. Also can sub Campari for the Aperol if you want a little more bitter.
