Grumpy Black crone who likes to think and explore (and seek mindfulness). In pfp: a hedgehog with a kente kufi on its head, and red laser eyes. Not chill.
Currently rearing an unsociable 🦔 rescue.

First of all, who is HR News? Where did they get this news from? All I saw when looking this up was a Medium page full of regurgitated genAI dreck.

Brutal. This is the only thing she said that made some sense.

Done!
My subs:
* Used frozen kale instead of baby spinach.
* Used the Beyond Meat sitting in my freezer (defrosted). It worked, but stuck to the Dutch oven surface. Tastes great, though.
*Used half a can of Maesri red curry, also once sitting in the freezer.
So. Good. 🍽️

Oh, definitely pointy. At least, this one is. His predecessors were more relaxed among humans and had flatter quills in their presence (see Princess Shuri below; RIP). So touching them was like a boar bristle brush. They have very soft bellies and faces. ☺️

How this hedgehog waits for his dinner, when it’s late.
Mind you, he doesn’t eat it immediately. He’ll go on a little run to eliminate, go back to sleep, *then* wake up to eat.

Been running longer (and working on running just a little bit faster while still running easy) these past few weeks, so…
I’m proud of myself.

Why I keep stain and odor remover in this house. You see those packing peanuts? He pooped on them out of the blue (he stays in boxes while I clean). I put some on the litter tray to get him to use it.
Instead, he ran for the corner of this clean and sanitized cage and peed. Cute nonsense. 😤

Done. Quite simple, but I dry-brined overnight and I mostly did it for the garlic. One chicken leg removed for the pic. I was tearing into a drumstick already. 🍽️

I was about to take a good pic of him just chilling, but he caught my scent, and raised his quills in annoyance. Got up and burrowed into his blankets behind him. 😅
You’d think I was depriving him of a sleeping area the way he prefers to sleep out in the open.

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Ok, new painful parking situation aside, Traderius Joseph’s won me over by having some of my staples (such as plums and unsweetened soymilk) at great prices. And then I came across this baby. Now I want to make a maple-rosemary glaze.
This definitely tastes like fall.

« You got games on your phone?» ass face. This hedgehog will not go to sleep until you put his wheel back in his cage (in the daytime!).

Miracles will never cease. He unraveled in my palm and let me take pictures before participating the « slightly comfortable » language of all hedgehogs in human hands: 💩.

Somebody doesn’t like baths, but he needed this one. Most joyous bath I’ve given him. He’s a chunky, spiky guy again.

The result.
Because I used white wine *vinegar*, the scent is reminiscent of BBQ or baked beans, but the taste is a lot deeper and complex, thanks to the black beans, tomatoes and homemade chicken stock I used. Will remake.

Done. Most of it is in my Souper Cubes for later freezing, but this will be used in tomorrow’s pot of beans. It’s quite dark due to the roast chicken carcasses and the spinach I threw in. Skimmed the fat, but it’s a bit cloudy. Still useful, and very flavorful.

Camera got a good profile of hedgie tonight. Look how round he is. He was so much smaller earlier this month, that I held off on pictures out of grief. His appetite has been good, and he’s been active earlier in the night. He naps and eats the other half of the night.
I’m happy he’s still here.
