mmmmm as the TA, gonna say a hard no on eating anything selected by a student with one of those.

That absolutely makes sense, and yeah, I’m on roughly the same part of the continent so it’s happening here too. These pictures are great!

I’ve been having this conversation with a bunch of my colleagues lately - what happened that made foraging particularly trendy this year?

Tbh I’ve been sick for over a week and feeling pretty out of it so I had entirely forgotten who planted that idea for me. I read pretty much everything Klosterman had written roughly in that same year (2012) so if it’s in one of the collections prior to that it was almost definitely him. Appreciate the honesty…

I have this theory that famous people are stuck in the year they first hit the limelight. Although there are still a lot of people saying “who is Grimes” based on all the recent trash.....I would say she first became a Famous Person and started to get invited to huge fashion parties like the Met Gala (she was there…

I was thinking about this topic this week, going back and listening to Aretha and her peers. You can hear the power and the skill.

For some reason, I kept ending up choosing the same sort of colour (a dark magenta/fuschia) for all my back to school shit Grades 9, 10 and 11. I DON’T KNOW WHY. It doesn’t look terrible on me, so that’s a plus, but why did I think ‘ah yes, this is it’ again and again?

No compelling reason. There were a few annoying dudes I knew in university who mostly conversed in movie quotes, a few from the Big Lebowski among them, so I think that’s what put me off for awhile......but that’s not a fault of any of those movies. I like the Coen Brothers plenty and I’ve seen about half of their…

I hate the Eagles and I slightly-less-hate that people think I’m quoting a movie I haven’t seen when I say that. It’s a legit opinion unto itself.

That spinal column (?) looks very phallic.

I made a mix CD labelled “MAY 27, 2005" that made the rounds around my friends and I until we graduated roughly a year later. Someone initially stole it from the ancient PC in the yearbook office, then it hopped from car to car. Last year I found it at my parents’ house and was mostly stunned that it eventually ended…

LOVE the instrumentation on this, having only listened through once so far. I think it’ll take me a long while to fully absorb the lyrics. In an interview with her recently, apparently not all of the lines about love are about people; Nobody is supposedly about the process of making music. She’s so good!

Seriously, who the fuck hired Emile Hirsch?

I clicked away from this tab after starting the video and was like ‘who even is this after Aretha’......went back, and it’s CELINE DION??? You weren’t kidding!!

I’m trying to decide if taking a dance class for the first time (looks so fun!) is just a Dumb Thing/Placebo or actually a valuable opportunity for a New Experience/Personal Growth.

I want a linen jumpsuit too but that’s definitely just frivolous.

What do we think about other animal prints? I have a silky deep burnt-orange tiger print top that I can’t bring myself to get rid of. I used to wear it with high waisted shorts to go dancing and I’ve tried to talk myself into wearing it under a blazer as a power outfit.....but I haven’t had the nerve.

Replying to myself in case literally any future people are like ‘hm did she actually research’ - yes! (I did it lazily from a single primary source!)

I’ve also cooked professionally so I get it, thank you! In my home life I’m a little more willing to compromise an ideal flavour/texture for health benefits (looking at you, post-gym pea protein in oatmeal) but I hear what you’re saying re: either masking or complementing the nutty taste.

Can you comment on what the cricket flour tastes like and what you use it for? I agree with the two of you and I’m inclined to get on board. I heard a podcast on which the hosts used the cricket flour to make pancakes and muffins....is it really that versatile?

The way you get the texture right / not fucked up is to use this:
