Fragrance tonight is Tainted Love (vanilla, orchid, white tea, sandalwood) by Tokyomilk Dark, my very first TMD that I've neglect for a few months since I picked up new ones. I know it's not for everyone, but I love it.

For anyone who might be wondering about the eggs. It's fairly easy. Very large eggs are trickier, try to stick to medium or under. #FoodSky
No trick, only patience: place medium (small-ish) eggs in boiling water for 6 min (7 if large-ish) take out and put in cool water, peel carefully, put in a jar and cover with soy sauce half way, mirin a quarter of the way more, then water until submerged. Leave 8 to 48 h in that salty brine.

“Americans are uniquely bad and were never cool” is, ironically, just about the most provincially American opinion it is possible to have

this is profoundly accurate. quite frankly, saying stuff like this is one of the most accurate tells for “I am a person who has had exceedingly limited to zero experience outside of the U.S..”

Mindlessly "window" shopping my evening away and one thing I like about T & S is that they do feature a good variety of bodies, for real, unlike other sites. The tall, the short, the thin, the medium built, the big bellies, the small tits, the chunky arms, all. #UselessReflections

I hate February so much, you can't imagine. I'm doing best to keep my mind occupied. Dinner & show last week, weekend guests & hosting this week, lists of groceries & drinks I need to get, doing tax prep, business appts, agreed to go up north to look after friends' dogs at the end of the month...

This sounds delightful and I just submitted a good request to my library 👀 #BookSky
One of my missions in life is to encourage people to read Frans Bengtsson’s “The Long Ships,” a very dryly funny 1940s Swedish adventure novel about Vikings who wind up enslaved in Muslim Spain and then searching for treasure in the Black Sea. Don’t take it from me, take it from Michael Chabon:
The Long Ships by Michael Chabon
June 28, 2010 – Unearthing a Viking treasure. In my career as a reader I have encountered only three people who knew The Long Ships, and all of them, like me, loved it

IG is full of "This feral cat is showing up at my door". The "feral" cat: MEOW!!
(And people in the comments apparently just believe it *is* a feral cat, despite the meowing and the being 14lb with luscious fur 🥲)

This is correct, but still curious to be grouped with metal musicians and enthusiasts when most of my posts are in the Foodsky universe.

It's funny to me how a lot of folks have been insisting on "skeet" for nearly three years when "bleet" (like bleat) is right there. #UselessReflections

This is a post for the happy young folks still not knowing what it is to have your eyesight abandon you. Mark my words: sadly, this will very likely happen to you, too. Don't judge the e-book folks as harshly as you do now.
I still certainly prefer physical books, but: my reading vision started to fail me at 42. It happens. Aging is a bitch. "Hardcover/Physical book supremacy" is a stand for the young and fully abled. I don't know if I'll be able to read physical books 1-5 years from now.

"Puerto Rico does it better" was the island’s tourism motto when I first visited and I trust all of America is experiencing just that now.
I wish I could watch the HT show tho.
