Well shoot. In order to even apply for the Farmer's Market, I first need "cottage food" certification from the county which costs $50 and takes weeks. And once certified, I can't sell outside the state, so no mail-order experiments (I already got boxes for a few trials). So I'm probably not gonna do this after all. :(

I just splashed out $720 for a new saline nebulizing system that will supposedly cut my nebbing time by at least one third. That's an hour every 3 days. 120 hours a year. So I reclaimed 5 days per year for $720!

I, too, would be a badass swordfighter if only there were classes here. Yes, that is the reason I am not a badass swordfighter. Alas, I must spend my days making chocolate TERFfles and drawing pictures instead.

I'm somewhat disappointed in the freeze-dried raspberry powder. Tried making a ganache with it. Flavor was mild, no way to get the intensity I seek. Maybe it'll grow on me. Or maybe I'll abandon the project and stick with spices as flavorings.
From my juicing experiments last year I know raspberries contain a lot of pectin. The freeze-dried stuff seems to as well. I started by whisking together equal parts raspberry powder and cream, and the result was extremely thick. Could probably use this stuff as a whipped cream stabilizer, which might be a better use anyway (and quite tasty).

This morning I took everything out of my pantry, threw away everything that was opened and/or expired, cleaned various containers, bins, jars, and shelves, and put back whatever remained in a more organized configuration. Whew.

Speaking of which...I love this stuff. Saved my ass on many a long bike ride. No farts.

Lentil soup:
Sautee diced onions in olive oil (sorry I don't measure or weigh. A few medium onions I guess) and some garlic (about 1 tsp jarred minced garlic, or a couple fresh cloves) until tender/soft. Add diced celery (about the same volume as the onions, 3 large stalks or 5 medium), a large diced carrot (optional) and a medium diced potato. Add about 1 pound dried lentils (4 cups?) and enough water, bring to boil. Add a few tablespoons of homemade veggie bouillon mix (equal parts nutritional yeast flakes, table salt, and Trader Joes 21 Seasonings Salute or similar herb/seasoning mix like Mrs Dash), a few bay leaves, and 2-4 pucks turmeric juice (I juice my own and freeze in little pucks, each about the size of an ice cube, great for cooking!). Simmer everything until lentils are fully cooked and desired soup-like consistency is achieved. Add water if needed. Season to taste; might need more bouillon mix or just salt. Can also add soy sauce/tamari to season. Finally, add 1 bunch fresh parsley and 1 bunch fresh dill, washed and chopped. Stir fully and remove from heat.

I ordered groceries for delivery via DoorDash for the first time, because it's snowing outside and I have had enough and I need onions to make lentil soup. So there.

New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 148: Hurricane Gender downgraded to Tropical Depression Gender
https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-148-hurricane-gender-downgraded-to-tropical-depression-gender/
*Speaking of depression, Cori admits his but Nina sounds so cynically resigned maybe she’s depressed too. After discussing Feline euphoria, free speech, hate speech, terrible presidential candidates, and men’s clothing, Cori reveals his misadventures trying to get actual health care from endocrinologists who prioritize “gender identity” over human health. Nina brags about her postmenopausal testosterone-producing cajones and insists women are more than “estrogen containers”. We’re getting sick of talking about gender but no one will talk to us about AI, and if we continue insulting potential guests no one will talk to us at all. Is this the end of “content”? Listen and decide — but please don’t tell us.*
