blegh! I bought a gluten free pancake mix made with fonio flour and it has so much baking powder that I can't even taste anything else.

I've noticed some commercial bakeries do this as well and ruin their pastries. baking soda tastes terrible. don't use too much. I'd rather flat pancakes than this metal-acrid-almost-salt flavor

Like a lot of non-fiction books, it's padded out a bit too much, but it definitely has some parts that hit me right in the feelers

@DialMforMara Seasonal depression is NOT NICE and I am available to give it a good scolding

Bright light and heat make me sick. I love grey and clouds and cozy dark evenings with soft lamplight.

But seasonal depression? It can go live by itself in space and stop tormenting lovely people. And when the sun is doing horrible things to me, I like to think about it filling my SAD friends with enough peace and joy and energy to make it through the winter.

Grey clouds shield the morning from the awful sun. A cool breeze is a welcome respite from yesterday's heat.

The clouds will lift later and I cannot be annoyed - on the summer solstice, the sun should have time to shine.

To celebrate, I will watch the sun set this evening.

windows open, fans drown out everything but the sirens.

feet on an ice pack, nauseated from heat. waiting for cool air.

@Mainebot that's a brutal skyline

I just finished the last book in the Confederation/Peacekeeper series. I don't want it to be over.

I don't like O'Brien. I think he's mean and unethical.

I did not stay up all night reading about Torin Kerr and I am going to go to work today instead of staying home and reading about Torin Kerr and I am going to need a HUGE PRIZE for my willpower.
