#wendymacnaughton — Public Fediverse posts

So, not too long ago, someone here on Mastodon (I've forgotten who) suggested I pick up a copy of #SaminNosrat's #SaltFatAcidHeat. It is NOT a vegetarian cookbook, but it does have some veggie recipes that I'm planning on trying out (and sharing with folks here). I watched the TV series on Netflix (CW - lots of images of meat on the episodes), but I learned how to make salt from salt-water, learned about cold spots in the oven, saw how traditional tamari is made in Japan, and how microflora in the soil affects the taste of olive oil! And lots about the chemistry and science behind cooking! Some good stuff!

A responsibility to light

Feel all the things. Feel the hard things. The inexplicable things, the things that make you disavow humanity’s capacity for redemption. Feel all the maddening paradoxes. Feel overwhelmed, crazy. Feel uncertain. Feel angry. Feel afraid. Feel powerless. Feel frozen. And then FOCUS.
