@Shadami:
When going through healing and things like this, sometimes it can help to write it all out on a paper. I cant remember what the exercise is called that I did in gradeschool where you just start writing and writing without worrying about grammar or structure. Just write every thought. Some people burn the paper when they're done but I'm too lazy for that, I just chuck em. XD
Its a nice way to get it out of your head so you can process your emotions. <3

BUT THATS GOOD I'm so happy you found someone like that <33
I remember when I first met my husband I went absolutely nuts. Like crushes never hit me hard, but there were points when I'd get off work (where I met him) and come home to do my college homework. But I couldn't THINK so I'd lay on my carpet and get annoyed at all the gushy flutteries in me I couldnt get SHIT done!

@Shadami:
You got some of them!! XD
answers are in the 3rd post!

I'm not as great with spices either. I rely on smelling them to see if they fit the dish, more than I'd know their names. Which always works out great!
I only know to buy them if a recipe tells me to tho

@Feral:
LOL

*sneezes*

@Wildfire:
YEAH like I thought about moving them away from the stove, but there's really... nowhere else to put them other than the dining table XD
its a nice sized kitchen for being an apartment, but its not huge by any means (perfect for me tho).

XD GOOD
hoped my silly predicament can be fun



@Shadami:
thought dumping is danger for me too. But all the more fun

@Borealis:
heyy, your new avi looks squishy cute <3

@sunny:
Haha! what I would give to live in the country in england or wales, rain and all
London was neat and all (safer than the average US city) but outside it it felt soooooo nice being there during my 6 month visas

@Feral:
makes sense, I really dont like my government either!
Although I'm curious since I dont know the UK as well. Here in the US the government already knows everything about you as long as you have a birth certif and social security number (which is forced upon us at birth pretty much). So even if I didn't have a passport, they still know. Its kinda spooky.
Is it not like that in the UK?

@Atropa Belladonna:
I was (finally) labeling my spices in my kitchen using my cricut machine XD
and wax sealing a bunch of letters. Not really a craft per se, but its fun to do <3

Oh gosh that is awkward! But I hope it was nice seeing them at the same time?
I move so much that I'm often spared this chance :'D

@Wildfire:
:O
I did not know this! I have tons of rice, I'll give this a try. Thank you!!

@Wildfire:
Yeah some of them are kinda shaken up in the jars so it makes it cloudy or odd shapes XD
Some of the powders have also hardened in there? I think having it right next to the stove might have gotten them all wonky, so I need to sift them once I'm done labeling to break em up

@sunny:
LOL at a second look I see where it looks like chips! Its powder, but its just weirdly shaped being in a glass jar like that



@sunny:
Yeah, florida comes with a ton of warning signs
dont go in the woods, dont walk barefoot in the grass, watch where you stand, that palm tree is on fire but its fine, dont swim in the ocean where the pelicans float, aside from the ocean dont touch the water...
ah, and definitely dont crawl into tight spaces.

I've visited England a couple times, the nature there is a lot more relaxing <3



@sunny:
ohhh, you must live in england or somewhere like that where nature hasn't decided it wants to kill ya
I'm used to it though, I spent my childhood in florida.



@Borealis:
lmao I keep trying to make a halloween avi too, but I have a lot more cozy looking items like this!
maybe I'll make something to last like, a week, then onto winter themes XD

@sunny:
gosh probably more than I know. centipedes are one I hope to never catch anywhere near me, but I know they are around here. The big ones I'm told are all poisonous. But I'd commit arson if I ever saw one...

I ought to look up which ones are particularly poisonous to cats, cause we also got scorpions, spiders, and scarabs (but I think scarabs are chill to animals?)

@Wildfire:

Gosh you're so close on these!! I had to recruit my husband's help, but yeah definitely got garlic, onion, rosemary, turmeric, cumin, mustard, chipotle chili powder, paprika, ginger, sage, chili flakes, basil.
I use these all frequently in dishes but often just... go based on smell rather than knowing what it actually is LOL

I got the maker 3! Do you use a cricut/other cutter machine?



@Borealis:
Thank you! I totally forgot about this jacket piece from an item set XD was like seeing it for the first time again!
I stubbornly refuse to change my avi's legs so I gotta get creative with outfits without using leg mods <3

@Atropa Belladonna:
Hopefully there's still enough voltra to last a while <3

My weekend has been pretty productive so far! taking a moment to relax and fiddle around with my crafts :D
How about you?

@sunny:
oh gosh! that is the worst D:
I always fear my cats gonna eat the wrong kinda bug and get sick.
my husband is just straight up scared of spiders so theres that too



@Atropa Belladonna:
I agree, although I know I haven't been much help either. I very rarely donate ;;
Its so expensive to keep sites like these running



@sunny:
Its just that the crickets here are big like roaches. Thankfully, no roaches! ;;

@Borealis:
Yes, weather is crazy everywhere. It got real cold here on saturday and then sunday it was super hot.. tis normal XD

Posted in le spice rack Posted 2 years ago


I'm just sitting here at my desk, staring at my spice rack.
Now that I own a cricut I can make the cute labels for my spices that I've been wanting to do.

But I haven't had them labelled in a few months

GUESS
THAT
SPICE

which spice is what?



you dont have to I'm just having a laugh



in order (all are powders or flakes, just the photo makes them look weird)

Rosemary, Garlic, turmeric, onion powder
sage, pepper flakes, ginger, cumin
basil, mustard, paprika, chipotle chili powder



@Borealis:
Ohh, yeah, I remember the wildfires in CO as well. Weather is a weird thing that even if the patterns are the same every year, its like everyone forgets that its normal and they complain a lot every time there's a storm. With some few exceptions about intensity XD
