If both outcomes will be okay, pick the one where the process is the least annoying for you!

Okay, but WHY do I have to price my own art if I want to attempt to sell it. It’s much, much harder than the actual making of said art.

There was one point when I was standing outside. In the 20 degree sunshine. In January. With The Sound of Silence running through my head.

About two weeks ago, it hit 20c. Which is 68F. In January. In ALBERTA.

It’s more pleasant than -30c/-22f. But what the actual fuck.

I use mine more for things like roasting veggies or making things crispy or crunchy! Of course, I got mine in part because my place gets nigh unliveabley hot during parts of the summer, and the idea of turning on the stove or oven becomes impossible.

Boooooooooo

Thank you! And yeah, the first time I kept stepping and frowning and muttering “what.” I’m still a little confused! I’m obviously a stronger painter with my dominant hand, but - this could definitely be going worse???

Rough impressionistic acrylic landscape. Two small islands with conifers in a very blue lake, with a treed hill and mountain range behind them.

Rough impressionistic acrylic landscape. A stand of evergreens and conifers is reflected in a barely-there lake. Behind them are foothills and a mountain range.

Rough impressionistic acrylic landscape. Two mountain ranges converge around a lake, and there are dramatic clouds in the sky.

My dominant hand continues to be a literal pain, so I decided to try painting with my left. The first time was mostly for shits and giggles. But now it is - going surprisingly well?

I missed that this was already going around this year (it’s sure been some kind of year, hasn’t it?). But if anyone has some extra love rattling around, my thread at the holiday love meme is here!

Just going to wave vaguely at the Everything Everywhere at the moment

So glad you finally made it back safe!

Huh!

… wait, can most people not tell when something is using alternative sweeteners

The majority of people I know who dislike stevia have similar taste reactions to it - somewhere between sucking on a penny and weird vegetative off-ness - as opposed to the people who just find it intensely sweet!

I suspect we will find out there’s a gene variant involved in stevia taste perception, similar to with cilantro.

(I might have to keep an eye out for if it’s involved in migraine triggers, hmm)

Stevia tastes like drinking bog water out of an aluminum can. Makes everything it’s in inedible. And because it’s technically a natural sweetener, they don’t even WARN you about it, unlike “artificial” sweeteners.

I mean, to be fair, 2020 has yet to release its hold on us

Artists! Quote with your yellow art!

Maybe a potato crust for a quiche? Aloo paratha? Samosas? There’s a huge range of Thai and Indian curries you can put them in, and they usually freeze really well!

If they’re waxy potatoes, I love pan fried shredded hashbrowns! Grate with a box grater, use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible, and throw into a very hot pan with oil or butter. Season as desired. I’ll often do onions and or peppers at the same time, and an egg makes a meal.

Welp, that’s today’s reminder about how time works

I do not have a sweet treat to reward myself with for climbing a mountain, and I am disappointed in me

Yay!!!

I definitely had a long, drawn out moment of confusion before it clicked lol

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

Sometimes I forget you weren’t always from Ontario.

Whom amongst us has not had to turn down the music so their eyes work better?
