It’s just the remaining 3% that gets me. Today is apparently a 3% day.

Also: fork theory. I myself don’t need to budget energy in a spoon theory way most of the time, but I LOVE this one.
Tumblr post from user jenroses: Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old. So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork. This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

Shrimp caesar wraps for dinner. 🍽️
A row of three wraps in whole wheat tortillas, sitting innocuously on a plate. A wrap which has been bitten into to reveal its insides: shrimp, bacon, croutons, greens, and a creamy homemade caesar dressing.

a.k.a. baked a whole fish today lads. 🍽️
A whole trout on a baking sheet, its body covered in a yellowish crust full of green herbs and purple shallots. Its tail and face are poking out of the crust. Its face looks somewhat distraught.

Baked trout, buttered carrots with raisins, and some of the whole wheat challah for dinner tonight. 🍽️
A plate of carrots and raisins in a glistening brownish sauce, torn chunks of whole wheat challah, and slices of fish baked under a yellowish crust full of green herbs and purple shallots. Close up of the carrots and raisins for the delicious glistening sauce, with a nice view of the crusted fish in the background.

Bonne chance avec les spirales.
Meme captioning a photo of a bird and a diagram of the physics of birds’ flight. It reads “HOW has he done it? without falling? has he cheated god at last? no. he has simply befriended the spirals.”

Screencap of Xue Yang from The Untamed edited to have a speech bubble so it looks like he is saying the contents of the post I'm replying to.

Walked into the bathroom to unexpectedly find this absolute pancake.
Extremely flat puddled out black cat lying across the vent in my bathroom floor, between a toilet and a trash can.

Good show. :)
Photo of Ron Hawkins with an acoustic guitar and a microphone playing on a small stage. There’s a big golden light over him that looks sort of like a firework and a cardinal logo on the stage behind him. He’s wearing a knit skull and crossbones sweater.

Anniversary dinner. 🥰
Two cocktails: a dirty shirley temple in a can-shaped glass and a daiquiri on the rocks in a martini glass. Cheese plate of three different cheeses, grapes, pear slices, and sliced baguette arranged around a ramekin of honey. Olive oil-dressed burrata, tomato with basil ribbons, and sliced baguette on the nearer plate; a long plate of fried zucchini with goat cheese, pickled red onions, and a sweet chili sauce. Two pizzas: one with two kinds of meat, two kinds of cheese, basil leaves, hot honey, and chili oil, and one with pesto, goat cheese, mozzarella, and caramelized pear.

Well I WAS getting some writing done.
My lap, with a small black cat across it, insistently demanding ear scritches. A small black cat, now curled up on my lap, shoving her whole-ass head into my hand.

Samhain dinner. ✨🍽️
A plate of brined roast chicken, baked trout with a horseradish parsley sauce, roasted delicata squash rounds with sage salsa verde, and seared and roasted carrots with ricotta and carrot top chimichurri. A bowl of sunchoke and cauliflower soup with a parsley and sunflower seed gremolada topping. A water glass and a punch cup with pink punch are visible around the edge of the bowl. Loaf of bread shaped like a toad, nestled into a cute little basket with a towel. A small red dish sits nearby with a wooden spreading knife (there’s parmesan rosemary butter inside it but I forgot to take off the lid).

Dinner party SUCCESS and also my house has been entirely tidied up (though not yet fully re-arranged) but also the dirty dishes section of our counter has literally never been more full.
Several feet of counter between my sink and my stove. The entire space is piled with cutting boards, serving platters, pots, pans, mixing bowls, punch cups, glasses, cutlery, serving utensils, dip bowls, and a truly spectacular tower of plates and bowls.

I keep forgetting to post food pics. This is from several days ago—salmon, roasted broccoli, a wild grain mix, and glazed carrots, all with a seasoned soy sauce and pickled garlic drizzle. Alex made this one too. 🍽️
Plate of roast broccoli, salmon with some chili crisp on top, and carrots resting on a bed of grains. All of them are drizzled with a brown sauce and chopped garlic and sprinkled sesame seeds. Close up on all four components of the plate, for colour and texture.

Also we carved pumpkins today. 🎃
Four lit pumpkins sitting on my front step. One is an upside down face, one is a minion, one is a wide smiling face with a couple of little fangies, and one has cat eyes and a big mouth full of spiky teeth. Close up of my pumpkin, the one with the cat eyes and a mouth of spiky teeth.

Everything is okay! They’ll probably be back when things are Less.
Tumblr post from ripeteeth reading “Lowkey taking a step back from social media for a bit for life reasons (my dad is about to have heart surgery and I'm heading out to care for him and truly cannot handle The Horrors on top of everything). I'm okay though. If you have good books to rec, movies, video games for a Switch or Steamdeck, or meals I can prep for my dad and stepmom while I'm there, I would be very grateful ❤️ (I've deactivated my Bluesky for a bit because I have a much harder time avoiding it than I do with tumblr for some reason.)” It is followed by “Here is your moment of zen” and the tops of two photos (cut off by the screenshot) of a cat and a plant.

Cool tough baby clothes for cool punk babies who wear back patches and stud their jackets.
A fuzzy brown baby onesie with a hood with the text “coolest little punk ever” on the breast. Most of the words are embroidered on, but “punk” is stencilled on a patch which has been sewn on. The back of the same onesie, with a patch that says “you wake me, you take me” sewn to the back. A pale blue baby onesie with some patches added: golden brown with flowers on the cuffs, breast, and knee, and a black heart on the belly. Beside it, a light purple short-sleeved jacket with yellow spikes on the hood resembling a dinosaur’s crest or a mohawk. The jacket has been bleach-painted and there are studs through the mohawk points. The back of the same clothes. The onesie has more of the same golden-brown floral on the cuffs and a spot on the butt, and a black square back patch with a white heart and the word “love” printed on it. The jacket is also bleach-painted on the back, and the mohawk spikes (all with studs) go all the way down the back of the hood.

Cool tough baby clothes for cool punk babies who cuff their sleeves, round two, now finished.
A dark blue baby onesie with a cloud pattern on it, its sleeves cuffed and sewn in place. The clouds have been haphazardly sprayed with white fabric paint. Beside it, a grey baby onesie with a star pattern, its sleeves likewise cuffed and sewn in place. Several small monster patches have been sewn to it; one monster is peeking out of a cuffed sleeve. The backs of the same onesies. The blue one has also been sprayed haphazardly with white on the back. The grey one has a single monster patch on the butt and the text “little monster” stencilled on the back.
