I buy too much produce and listen to too many audiobooks.

For your consideration. I haven't listened to this whole album in a while, but I've used a song or two for specific playlists.
A screenshot from Spotify. A blue background behind a taupe album cover with white and blue lines swirling horizontally across the middle. The lines both evoke the idea of water or smoke and become the flowing hair of three faces along the right side of the image. White text, centered at the top, reads SUTARI, with SIOSTRY RZEKI beneath that in a smaller font.

It's time to buy too many cherry tomatoes, slow roast them à la @smittenkitchen.bsky.social, and freeze them to toss them in soups, salads, and pastas all winter long, or until we run out.

#tomatoseason
A baking sheet topped with crinkled white parchment paper holds mixed varieties of cherry tomatoes. Some are yellow, some orange, some red and some purple. All are cut in half, cut side up. They are arranged haphazardly. The cherry tomatoes, still on their baking sheet and paper, after their long slow bake They appear rather diminished and shriveled, and not nearly as tasty as they are.

Virgo new moon = actually dealing with a bunch of fermentation projects, and even *labeling* them. Watch out, world! I have one (1) Executive Function and I'm going to ride it until the wheels fall off.
A stoneware fermentation crock with lid, labeled with masking tape and blue marker: "carrots 8/23" The crock, the painted wooden surface it sits on, and the wallpaper behind it are all similar shades of off-white.

Sometimes a snowy little hike after work is just the thing. I feel like I can breathe for the first time all week.
A shallow, rocky stream, snow-covered banks, and bare trees

Some days you just have to make a bunch of bierocks?

Cooking is probably the least self-destructive coping mechanism I've ever had, though, so I'm not complaining.
Two parchment-covered sheet pans on a wooden table. Each holds eight bierocks, baked dough filled with meat and vegetables. They are unevenly round. The bottom tray is more golden brown than the top, which is paler. They are covered with everything bagel seasoning (top tray) and sesame seeds (bottom tray) because I ran out of bagel seasoning. Butter has leaked out of the buns on both trays.

A gray and brown cat with green eyes lies with one paw extended in front of her face. She sits on a blue chair with a pink blanket A screenshot from Spotify. It shows the album Constructs of the State by Leftover Crack. The album cover depicts a grim scene. Under an orange and red sky, two long rows of skeletons face each other. One row wears military and police uniforms from various totalitarian regimes. The other row wears gray prison garb. In the background, an ominous building looms. The song being played is The War at Home. A screenshot from a meditation app. There is a photo of Tara Brach, a middle-aged white woman in a black sweatshirt, smiling broadly. Underneath the photo, black text on a white background describes the meditation. 4.9 stars. Guided. 30 Min. Bringing RAIN To Difficulty By Tara Brach

Today's Affirmation with Alfred:

I accept each part of myself, even the part that wants to hog the cushions.

A gray and brown cat sits atop a stack of cushions in shades of orange, pink, and red. She looks mildly disapproving. Behind her is an altar with an assortment of candles, incense burners, and other items.

Sometimes, option A/option B readings can be subtle, and give you cause to analyze your precise goals and preferences before identifying the best choice.

This is not one of those readings.

Two tarot cards on top of a wooden surface. On the left, The Magus, which shows a dramatic yellow figure on a blue background. On the right, the seven of disks, Failure, which shows seven pastel purple circles against a gray and dark blue textured background. Both cards have gray borders.

Today in Affirmations with Alfred:

I am allowed to experience comfort. My misery is not itself a contribution to the work.

A gray and brown cat with a white patch around her mouth and a mildly concerned expression sits on the back of a yellow velvet couch. She is tucked up against an olive green cushion. A gray blanket is in the foreground, and the background includes white curtains, black typewriter, and storage cubes.

In defense of having a personal Emergency Mode, a 🧵

As someone who periodically has a Very Bad Time, because of my brain and also the general situation of life, I put this together the last time I started to climb out of a deep burnout/depression hole. 1/
Screenshot from notes app, titled Emergency Mode. Text reads: 1) if a food sounds good, eat it. M&Ms may not be dinner but they are better than nothing. 2) just throw it away. It's fine 3) listen to a lot of music 4) make sleep priority #1. Cancel plans. Call in sick. Figure out how to sleep, somehow 5) anything that isn't a real emergency or critical for keeping you alive can wait 6) if it sounds fun, even a tiny bit fun, do it (not dangerous obvs) 7) stop when you need to stop, no matter what it is. Stop talking, stop eating, stop wearing the shirt. Listen to your body

The most important part of the day is Sunbeam Time. #cat
A gray and brown cat lounges on a beige armchair, bright sun covering most of her and the seat of the chair. Her front paws are together.

Key to *elevated* cooking is mise en place before the gummy hits.

And a good soundtrack, obviously.

And not getting distracted to post about it.

#25mg #highcooking #curry #swisschard
A stovetop crowded with ingredients, including mismatched bowls of chopped onion, tomato, and Swiss chard, an opened can of coconut milk, and a jar of ginger garlic paste. On the one free burner, a stainless steel Dutch oven with a wooden spoon inside.
