wanted to make curry noodles again but the only potatoes in this house are in the form of fries or smiley potatoes bc i ran out of hands while grocery shopping yesterday & couldn't carry potatoes (i originally went in for two (2) things & didn't grab a cart). maybe i'll bake some smiley potatoes after all.
oh & i made a lemon loaf again last night but I cannot figure out for the life of me why it doesn't rise as much as the recipe says it should... i doubled my baking powder (it expired) & it helped but still didn't make as much of a difference as i thought. starting to think it's the temp making a difference since i bake it in the toaster oven... i'll try 325°F instead of 350 next time & see if it helps

@whyimdeleted i don't know what that's from but it's impressive how well the colours match!
@october i like trixie, i'll prob go for that one :3 thank™ for the suggestion!
@g0bl1n_gurl pingas
@generallonghorn i do have a deer from the same series, i'll get a pic later! i don't think i have any reindeer plushies tho. i have a subset of my plush collection that's basically "animals you don't generally see as plushies" & now i wonder if a reindeer is uncommon enough to fit there...
@epic.io i got a lil woodstock similar to this plush for my bf maybe a year ago? he is very cute & full of beans

on saturday i made ramen :3
ground beef is actually taco night leftovers that i pan fried in sesame & chili oil mix w/ mirin & mentsuyu added for flavour. (would have done gochujang too but bf wasn't in the mood for spicy food)
the broth is my usual recipe for miso broth & the noodles are a new type i tried, they're vacuum-sealed in individual packets & they just need to be put in water for a minute or two to separate. quite good... quick to cook & they have a nice bite. i'll get them again. finally remembered to marinate my eggs the night before & got a double yolk again!

spent a few days away from the net... time to catch u all up!
friday bf & i drove out to a town ~45 mins from here bc i wanted to go to this card shop a friend showed me a while back... ended up spending a chunk of my birthday cash on pokémon cards lmao. first pic is my fav card i got! then we went to the liquor store bc this shop was one province over & said province is the only place i can get my fav blackberry cider! so i stocked up LOL
then we went the opposite way to the city & got some coffee (for him)/bubble tea (for me) & picked up some food from this lebanese place we both rly like. i got my usual shish taouk (chicken kebabs, second pic related) & bf got lamb kofta (no pic bc he started eating before i did). the food is so good & normally it's big enough to make two meals out of it but i was so hungry i ate the whole thing... delicious as always!
mom's gift to me is that she's taking me to mtl in septemberrrr <3 it's been forever since we went on a trip together! it's gonna be awesome!!

late reply but thank u all :3 i'd tag u all but... that's a lot of ppl in one post lmao
@newduckcity ayy someone else who's my age here, nice!
@yep thank u for translating i am not in w/ the times when it comes to modern slang LOL
@quentin that's the first time i've been called cool in a long time! as for sharing my wisdom... to be a cool old man is to be unapologetically urself, to do good in this world for urself & others, & to take care of urself, take care of others (w/o burning urself out... been there done that) & take care of this world we all live in. ik it sounds cheesy but that's what i try to live by!

literally me today (it's my 30th birthday)
i don't really make a big deal out of birthdays anymore but i do celebrate the fact that i made it a lot longer than i expected/planned to... i spent a good chunk of my life horribly depressed & wanting to not be alive so every year i just celebrate that i held on a little longer than my nine-year-old self wanted to.
