Ok, my handwriting in my recipe book is illegible to anyone else, protecting my secrets. But I have a note in there that this is a rip off and this isn't a "Goblin special." So, for once I only have to drop a link!

That fair, lol. I'm never sure if anyone is going to be interested in my recipes, and my instructions and measurements are kind of chaotic, so I don't usually type them out unless someone asks. I'll go through and write it up a little later today!

I can see your point here, but what is to stop somebody from behaving that way and just claiming to have an official diagnosis, rather than a self diagnosis to begin with? There's always going to be people who behave in bad faith in any group, People who are going to lie and manipulate are just going to do that. There's no way to avoid that, that doesn't result in alienating people with systemic barriers to diagnosis. With what we know about the bias in diagnosis to begin with as well as all the other reasons people have pointed out. I think rejecting self diagnosis as a valid means of finding support, and community is going to harm more people than keep out bad faith actors.

I met a Hexbear in person once, they were DISGUSTING and VILE They smelled like beans and mushrooms and when I shook their hand they gave me a small rat and told me it was "one for the road".

They had green skin like a goblin and had a shirt that said "Xi is my god".

I didn't feel safe. Be careful out there, and lock your doors too because I hear they steal your passive income.

I'm not sure if anyone is here from the reddit community, or remembers my tiny post about trying to find a way to package my dog food without using ziplock bags.

But basically, I said I make my dog food in bulk, using vegetables that where dumpsterd, home grown, etc. At the time I had a 150 lb cane Corso, only. So portions where already pretty large, I would process and freeze vegetables as needed and make a batch of dog food all at once in a 30 ish gallon stock pot, then freeze them in flat packs of ziplocks. Since then I also have an incredibly high energy rescue pit mix puppy in my family.

I was given allot of advice, all of which I tried out. The one that I thought would be the most promising was freezing them in sheet pan trays, scoring them. And separating them with wax paper. No lie. This worked horrible. I tried many iterations of that. Nothing worked out. I did end up finding a solution. I found large plastic Tupperware containers. They're about the size of casserole dishes. Just twice as deep. I fill those and pull 2 out at a time one to defrost on the porch and the other one to throw in the fridge for a few days. By the time the first one thaws out, the one in the fridge is about kicked. These containers are pretty cheap. And I don't expect them to last forever. But I'm very careful with them and so far it works great! I should also say they seem to hold up longer than the reusable vinyl/silicone bags I tried. Tbh for most applications, I would recommend using Mason jars over them for pretty much everything. I was so hesitant to buy plastic Tupperware that I ended up creating more waste in the long term.

That marinade is a thing of beauty!

So I can give you the rough proportions, but I eyeball it at this point.

Take a hearty glug of oil or lard and throw it in the bottom of a ripping hot pan, throw a diced onion in, and your rice. You're going to want to stir and shake the pot constantly until a few of the grains of raise are golden brown and the rest have turned white. Get them all nice and toasty. Just before that point I throw in a handful or so of finely diced cilantro stems just until they bloom. I have a pitcher of water and tomato consume' or knorr tomato seasoning at the ready before I throw everything in the pot. So when everything is done I flush the rice with the water and stock powder, I bring that to a light boil and then throw it on the back burner, barely simmering until done. Sometimes I'll throw some red beans or diced tomatoes, green peppers/whatever chilis I pull out of my garden but thats it. Finish with chopped cilantro. I know that's kind of chaotic, so let me know if you want me to clarify anything!

I made a massive pot of chicken and vegetable soup, and a big ol pan of Mexican rice for a Saturday food distribution a few weeks ago. I'm just trying to level up to a full-blown cauldron, but for now, I use my canning pots for giant batches of soup like this.

I have 11 hens and a rooster. Im getting almost a dozen eggs a day right now, but that's not usually the case. Those Lil ladies are spoiled. Definitely happy. I built them a chicken jungle gym i keep adding too and they roam around and get fed a ludicrous amount of veggies scraps from the garden.

I'm also usually not the biggest "flan" of sweet desserts. 🙃

But it's my husband's favorite, he absolutely goes crazy over it as well. Not to mention, it's damn easy to make and uses up eggs when we have extra, and my hens are kicking it into top gear right now.

Ingredients: 7 large eggs. 1 bar of cream cheese 1 cup of milk 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 1 can of evaporated milk 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract A square of butcher paper 1 large glass pan or casserole dish Place the butcher paper in the pan as a liner Blend all of the ingredients in a blender or with an immersion blender until frothy and pour it into the pan, trimming large chunks of the butcher paper if you have allot of excess. Throw that in the oven at 350° for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Allow to cool, flip it and slice. Can be served hot or chilled. I also throw a steel pan with a couple inches of water in the bottom of my oven while it cooks, but that's optional.

(I use my chickens eggs so if a few are small, I'll throw an extra 1 or 2 in)

Home-made flan (imgur.com)

Flan is surprisingly simple, delicious, and is one of my favorite desserts to make when my ladies go overboard on egg laying and we have some extra! I can post the recipe as well if anyone is interested!

Honestly I picked it up at the thrift store about a decade ago. I don't really know much about it other than It's definitely my favorite pot but it can probably use some barkeepers friend. I'll get a better picture from the side for you. I'm trying to image search it but I'm not having much luck

You can use chicken thighs or beef, for this is took a couple pounds of chuck roast and cubed it. I also tried out a curry paste instead of going from scratch. The brand is Mae ploy. And again my measurements are a bit odd. Ingredients: Cubed beef roughly 2 lbs Mae ploy massaman curry paste about a cup. Lightly roasted peanuts about a cup or so, Oyster sauce 3 large glugs Fish sauce a large pull A pat of tamarind paste about the size of matchbook. A hand full of kafir lime leaves Palm sugar/brown sugar a small palmfull 2 cans of coconut milk Chicken stock 3-4 rough cubed potatoes 2 small onions

Brown the beef in a pan and set aside.

Separate the coconut milk solids or fat off the top of the coconut milk and heat it in a large pot, add the curry paste, stirring constantly until the curry paste starts to come together and dissolve adding more coconut fat/or milk if necessary, break up the tamarind paste with the back of a spoon into the paste/milk mixture. Don't sweat it if it doesn't dissolve the whole way yet. Throw the onions in the pot and let them soften slowly adding fish sauce, Oyster sauce, the sugar and the rest of the coconut milk.

Next Add about 3-4 cans of chicken stock, I used a bullion powder so I'm just guessing here. Next throw in potatoes, beef, and lime leaves. bring it to a simmer while you lightly toast some peanuts in a separate pan and throw those in. I cooked it low and slow for about an hr or so or just until all the flavors came together and the beef softened.

Serve it over rice with lime wedges, Cilantro, and crushed peanuts.

Let me know if you want me to clarify anything and enjoy!
