I got these a few years ago to make it easier to ferry food up to my office. Not super deep but WIDE can fit the requisite marshmallows. Not sure how they are to drink out of honestly. Let my know if you want the Amazon link, but the alt text has the item description if you wanna track down similar.
A product photo of two bowl-like ceramic mugs with ventable plastic lids in light minty green and pink. The Amazon SEO jumble is "2 Pcs Christmas Floral Ceramic Bowl with Lid and Handle 30 oz Soup Bowls Heat Preservation Instant Noodles Mug Soup Cup Microwavable Bowls for Xmas Ramen Noodle Cereal Travel".

By the way, here’s today’s juicing efforts. I’ve been waiting to see if the apple juice loses its head but it hasn’t in about 9 hours…

So I’ve simply polished it off now.
Three 32oz glass bottles of juice sit on a kitchen counter. Two are nearly full on the left and have cold press orange juice and apple juice. The last has a small amount of apple juice. I’ve been sipping it all day. It was at 6-8oz this morning.

Did I succeed at crispy pork belly? No.
But did I succeed at tasty dinner? Hell fuckin yeah I did!

We’ll try for crispy pork belly again another day.
A dinner spread in black and teal dishware (and a glass container wrapped in purple silicone) on a less messy than normal desk. Less than crispy pork belly sits on a smalll plate with a dipping sauce of ponzu and chili crisp. A bowl of sesame noodles sits behind it. A container of sliced cucumbers with sesame dressing and more chili crisp sits to the right. Ramune (original flavor) and a bottle of water sit behind them.

Anyways, BREAD:
A freshly baked mini loaf of banana bread filled with pecan chunks sits on a silver metal cooling rack on a white counter after being laminated with butter.

I’d send you my energy and focus but I’m already all out. So here’s a pic of my Gritty and Baphomet (and other) plushies instead.
A Gritty (the Philadelphia Flyers bright orange fuzzy mascot) and Baphomet (a cute version of the crowned and horned winged devil goat) sit in places of honor among a cluster of over plushies in a small lit nook.

She is done and laminated and got that good knife scrape crunch going on the outside! And now she cools.
A small loaf of milk bread sits on a cooling rack, painted with melted butter and dripping on the counter because I’m a mess. Next to it is the bread maker it came from. Continue ignoring the counter, I’ll get to it.

She’s goin’ now!
A zojirushi bread maker sits on a marble effect countertop as it runs. It has 2:36 remaining and is now kneading. It’s really flappy sounding in there. A real one would ignore how messy my kitchen counter is.

Dinner good.
A steak topped with sauce and mushrooms, a bowl of diced carrots and peas, and waffle fries sit on a square teal and black plate. Behind it is a bottle of black currant cider and a rainbow metal cup.

Okay, I got up and made breakfast. Bacon, scrambled eggs, pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls, and the worst “healthy juice” I’ve had yet with water from the jar that once held the accidental green juice and STILL HAS THAT TASTE AND SMELL SOMEHOW.
Scrambled eggs with everything seasoning, three pieces of bacon, and two pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls sit on a square plate with a fork on the side.

Some photos from today’s being outside.

@diveamydive.bsky.social I think you’d like the beer can.
An order of deep fried chicken tender strips and beignets, with a slice of cantaloupe and a single blackberry and butter and maple syrup on a round white plate. The beignets half is covered in powdered sugar. A coffee cup and tiny pitcher of cream sit behind. I also got Swamp Water (a better Arnold Palmer). I’m still full right now, even though my brain is saying I should eat something healthy. Fuck off, brain, we’re not eating shit. We’re marinating in hair unguents while we continue to process this! A market sign in front of a bunch of tiny pumpkins that reads “wee b little pumpkins ($0.65/lb)”. I reject that reality. These are web ass little pumpkins. Cans of beer on a market refrigerated shelf. The can has a storybook bunny carrying a vintage chainsaw on one side. The other reads: “His cuteness will cut you to pieces! Bunny With A Chainsaw! Double dry hopped hazy India pale ale” I was informed this was the most beer one could fit in a single beer.

This updated Netflix (US) summary for Supernatural is absolutely WILD.
The text logo for Supernatural (TV, 2004-19) sits in front of a very cropped screenshot from s01. Below it is the following description, Oxford comma is my own as it's correct: "Jensen Ackles ("The Boys") and Jared Padalecki ("Gilmore Girls") play demon hunting brothers on a years-long quest that leads to heaven, hell, and back." The implication that Jared Padalecki's only acting achievements are Gilmore Girls and Supernatural is... a lot. That man is practically a scream queen!

Bless these Costco burnt ends and how quickly they can turn into a meal.
A dinner sits on a square white plate with a glass bowl and in a square white bowl on a black desk. The bowl has peas and carrots, the glass bowl has garlic mashed potatoes (instant, as I’m lazy), and the plate has brisket burnt ends tossed in bbq sauces and some more garlic. The pink glass behind the food has the mango limeade sweetened with honey I just made. The purple twitch bottle is just water. I have already demolished this plate, that’s how good it was. Especially for coming together in like a half hour.

I made a recipe that I found on YT Shorts from memory with modifications having never tried it or anything like it from scratch with missing aromatics and that shit still turned out good AND I have two more meals in my fridge now. Still got it.
A semi-improvised risotto-alike pasta dish sits on a messy deskin a black and teal bowl with a can of ginger ale behind (as a just in case) and a sparkling guava juice (which I still haven’t opened). The pasta dish is acini de pepe cooked in chicken and chicken bone broths with frozen peas and carrots, shredded chicken, and pecorino romano mixed in. It’s topped with pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. It was so fuckin’ good and hearty but I don’t feel like mistakes were made for once. I’m so happy. Might make a little salad to go with next time though.

My little mini monitor widget does its best but it gets so confused sometimes…
A photo of a tall thin monitor that’s built into my very pink PC case because that’s the kind of person I am. It shows the currently playing track or media with an album view, at least in theory. Right now it shows the album art for the previous song, Patrick Stump’s Soul Punk (Deluxe Edition). On the cover, a white man with tall blonde hair in a black suit and bow tie stands in an optical illusion of him emerging from boxes made of bright yellow tape. The info under the album cover says the current song is Muse’s “Will Of The People”, from the album of the same name. One could see how this might cause some confusion about what track is currently playing.

You ever feel really powerful for doing something that, technically, you really only made minimal contributions to?

So anyways, I have a juicer and made orange-carrot juice…
A nearly full glass bottle with a white cap sits on a crowded kitchen counter. It’s full of violently orange juice, like stain your clothes orange. Directly behind it is a cute mint green juicer with a very full pulp collector with orange and carrot bits. ……… I made this.

Holy shit, what a solid plan this was. Haven’t had any pudding yet, that’ll be later with some tea I think.
A piece of bacon-fig-onion-arugula square pizza with on a square white plate with pork rinds and a plastic container of a spicy red sauce. Behind the plate is a dark brown beer bottle labeled “Life Is Good Today” and a blue to purple gradient steel cup with water. Everything sits on a messy desk.

This is the pizza, I'm so excited.
A picture of a fig and bacon square pizza topped with arugula served on a silver vented plate on top of a black marbled table. "cheese blend, black mission figs, bacon, caramelized onions, chevre, arugula" is how it's listed.

I cannot read a word of next year’s desk calendar but it is SO stinkin’ cute.
A small standing desk calendar showing January probably, not like I can tell because it’s fully in Japanese. It’s also completely covered in little illustrations of cats. It’s the medium Midori desk ring calendar in medium. I might make learning Japanese a goal this year just to be able to read this.

The brekkie.
Scrambled eggs with salt, pepper, and milk mixed in topped with mild chili crisp, two chicken and maple sausage patties, and two slices of toasted Hawaiian bread with butter and kaya jam sit on a teal and black plate. Behind is a pink glass filled with ice, lemonade, and matcha.

As I fall asleep finally, here's one of The Horrors I've found on a food delivery app.
A screenshot from food delivery app showing a so-called "cheesesteak". While it has the basic elements of some kind of cheese, possibly Whiz (gross but not incorrect), chopped steak, and a hoagie style roll, there's inexplicable uncooked onions, shredded lettuce (though this is fine on a cheesesteak hoagie, which I swear is a real thing), and diced tomatoes. Are those PICKLES?! I love pickles and I would NEVER! Surrounding the abomination sandwich are a hard white cheese block, a single tomatoes slice and maybe lettuce but whole leaf bibb and not iceberg, and what I assume is a Coke. The restaurant is called "Cheesesteak Daddy"... I hate it here.

I'm organizing notes and folders and opened the file with this in it.

I have never hidden how much working in ttrpgs has helped me work with designers in video games. I just want to make it even more obvious one day.

Anyways, play indie ttrpgs.
A screenshot reading "Bane counts as a small gang and cannot be stopped". This is a riff on a mechanic from Apocalypse World by D. Vincent Baker and Meguey Baker. This move, NOT TO BE FUCKED WITH, comes from The Gunlugger. This does also imply that Bane is always in battle which... yeah...

I really don't know how I feel about this...
A screenshot from Brooklyn Vegan's merch email, advertising 00s pop punk band toddler clothing from Taking Back Sunday, The Early November, Thrice, Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory, and Less Than Jake. There's something very surreal about this that I can't put my finger on.

Car camping and to some extent glamping hover somewhere between no/low impact camping and "I've driven in my small portable mansion moving truck".

There's giving yourself the stuff you know you need (where you can/should do it) and this:
A small thumbnail from YT, showing a small white unmarked moving truck in a wooded area. The text reads "stealth luxury apartment (DIY) toy hauler".

Finished FFXIV patch MSQ last night and just had a flash of grief while phone app grocery shopping that was briefly unidentifiable until I realized I was wondering if people I’d known in my life are alive or dead and how/if one mourns them the same and I’m just…
Ichiban Kasyga (Yakuza: Like A Dragon), a Japanese man with a massive permed ‘fro wearing a red suit with an open white shirt and gold chain, takes a long drag of a cigarette while looking at his smart phone. He’s squinting slightly with one thick eyebrow raised. He’s definitely about to make some bad decisions.
