upon the request of murdonner, my sister in law’s recipe for pickled broccoli stems!!! super simple & a great way to use up something that’s normally food waste in a really really delicious way <333 it goes as follows:
chop up some broccoli stems & jam them all down as tight as possible into a jar with a quite generous pinch of salt. pour filtered water over the top - avoid any air bubbles. cover the jar with some paper towel so that it can breathe (secure with an elastic band), and then just chuck it in the cupboard for 3 or so days. once a day press the broccoli down with a clean metal spoon. start taste testing daily on day 3, and when it hits the desired level of pickled-ness just move it to the fridge and put an actual lid on the jar and ur set!!!!!

PERFECT FOR JAR HOARDERS. my great aunt’s recipe weirdly easy to make it’s just like 2:3 ABC vinegar to water + like so much salt but just tasted it, ya know? If you want that bright pink put a slice of raw beet in there. Leave on the counter for like a week.

Something fairly easy, but super delicious and rewarding to eat. (Cutting into fun shapes is necessary)
I used 3 cups water, 2 1/2 cups of vinegar, 2 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of sugar for the brine. (I like mine a bit on the sweeter side, but I’ve heard sugar is optional)
The fun part is the customization of what veggies you want in there. My choice was cucumber, radish, daikon, red onion, and carrot.
The final touches to help with flavoring were garlic, pepper corn, dill, and Thai chilis. (highly recommend the chilis if you like a lil spice) I wonder what combo I‘ll try next.

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
