Hi I’m Rachel (or “Nyc”). I am always trying new things. I don’t sell anything, so I don’t know where to go with this intro post. I just gather weird knowledge, and make whimsical doodles. ✨

Alright! My jambalaya addition to my Louisiana foods series is now complete! I had to add a little extra to the pot.
How do you like your jambalaya? With tomatoes? Kinda dry? I like it Ascension style- kinda dry with lots of pork.

Go up or down in the thread to see the gorgeous (pseudo)color in the adult.

... you absolutely have to see the caterpillar from which the butterfly emerges.
No wonder they made him emperor of Japan, that's the cutest little guy on the whole island chain.
Hell, I say we make him the President of the USA, too.

SG-1 wasn't always hits but damn when they nailed a scene, they NAILED it. Allowing that the real answer for why they kept winning was plot armor, the frequent demonstrations of "They approach the problem different than those sci-fi goobers and it works" hit home. Tactics matter.
Also this scene in SG-1 really sold much the shows ethos and why the Tauri could win without destiny on their side or what not

Beginning to suspect my neighbor is a slug man. He's trying to hide it but the slime trails to and from his apartment, coupled with his insistence that he's allergic to my salted peanuts but fine with the unsalted ones and the 47 heads of lettuce I helped him carry into his apartment sure seem weird

Elastigirl is so clever and smart utilizing her powers, and Mr Fantastic in the newest movie may as well not have any, for all he uses them.

Flipping idly through my soup rolodex as I contemplate my next big business decision (lunch)
Also, tired of freezer jenga? Freeze anything liquidish flat on a baking sheet, then you can file it. Pasta sauce, soups, chili, etc. This is ~10L of pasta sauce.
