at the start of drafting a new novel but in the meantime my brand new show @multitudespodcast.bsky.social launches in two days! (on Jan 14) wheeeeeee

Totally agree. This project seems to assume as starting premise that humans combining edible materials into meals or snacks merely creates a new commodity. There's no recognition that the human element in the creation is not replicable

You’re welcome! I know you’ll find some excellent reads 🤓

Tiger Balm 1000%

Mentholatum (but not menthol)

Ooh la la 🎾

bc the 2 beds were each singles lol

but also: the short straw also meant I slept on the floor 😭

ohmigod 😂 Did you stick to a totally different language? Or just pretend to stare uncomprehendingly?

Yellow mustard + (pickled) banana peppers are some kinda perfect alchemy

I tried to stick to Cantonese when the hotel clerks spoke Japanese then English to me but I kept wanting to respond lol. Plus I felt so bad pretending! I hated lying and it showed; I ended up paying the fee 😅😂

Once, in Yokohama, we 3 poor students didn’t want to pay for an extra person in the hotel room. I drew the short straw: I was sent out for dinner (McDonalds) & had to fake my way back up, past the front desk. I discovered it’s really fucking hard to pretend not to speak a language you know! 😂

Yes! My kind of discourse lol

I love grilled cheese too! My fave: med cheddar, red onion, pickled jalapenos on sourdough; butter not mayo on the grill side

Fave cold sandwich:
Dutch oven focaccia, sundried tomato pesto+mayo spread, genoa salami (hot & plain), grandpa ham, lettuce, havarti

Good one 😁
