Sailing, SF, 2008

Really. When I say "it's serviceable" that is the highest compliment, not a criticism. But, as I always add, "one can do better next time, right?".

Heute ist der 22. März (Weltwassertag) und in fast ganz Deutschland sind die oberen Bodenschichten ausgetrocknet.
Die Karten des UFZ Dürremonitors weisen sogar extreme Dürre in vielen Landesteilen aus.
Das sollte man ernst nehmen. Anstatt über die Abschaffung des Umweltministeriums zu fabulieren.

With each new bag of rice I put it into a container, I use my traditional 合 cup and level off with a knive's edge, then I weigh the contents.
If I ever lose track of the rice cup, I can always use my scale. Different batches can vary by up to 4 g per 1 合.

Yesterday's Japanese curry for one (a single block of S&B medium hot curry), 130 mL of water, and 1/5 of the original ingredient amounts (carrot, potato, onion). Then some Botan brown rice alongside. Delicious!

I got up early and made a gō of Jasmine rice (for me, it's 144g for this bag I'm using). Worth the longer wait!

When you're tasked with the rice prep, sometimes you need to wait... and keep warm while chilling out.

23:10.
Of course it's time for fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

With each new bag of rice, I weigh one gō and print a label for the rice keeper it is stored in, making it easier to portion without using the rice cooker cup.
Now at the end of this 5# bag, when the new one arrives next week, a new label goes on.

Reading someone's AI-generated or AI "sanitized" writing is like taking a bite into Almost Pizza.
You know they didn't make it, they've never made pizza from scratch; it's missing a major ingredient and when you drop that it's AI, it shatters.
Do not eat!
