I don’t know what’s more sad:

• the few linked resources i checked didn’t list any sources for their claims or data
• that even if they did, people probably wouldn’t care for it.

It’s a nice list of resources i guess for new vegans who don’t know how to respond to some of the things people ask or claim

Better leftovers than waste. And looks yummy!

Love it! Yeah i think it’s amazing what people can do with blender but i just didn’t have the patience for it and I’m not the most artistic to begin with lol.

Black plastic cooking utensils have been in the news lately. We went ahead and replaced all ours

Food looks delicious though!!

Nice! I tried doing this a year or two ago but didn’t get as far before i decided i wanted to do something else instead 😅

The rainbarrels and drip irrigation sound great. We meant to do something similar like that a few years back but it fell off our radar

1. last recipe we tried was a ‘marry me tofu’ and it went pretty well! This was the second time we had it and it was really delicious. We toned down the red pepper flakes for my wife and i personally didn’t care for the sundried tomatoes, but we liked it overall and will be making it again. My only ‘complaint’ about the recipe is they wait until the very end to tell you to serve it with something so that was a surprise and i was scrambling to heat up some stir fried veggies Lol.

2. Latest hobby is rowing so i can get in shape

Appreciate everything you’ve done for the server hamid and will be sad to see your involvement wind down but understandable. Hope you take care

That does look/ sound like a fun project. I haven’t had a chance to try a split ergonomic keyboard but I’ve heard good things. Hope it goes well!

Edit: Also have you looked at vertical mouse? That has helped my wrist strain quite a lot

1. What is a new meal/ recipe you tried recently and how’d it go?
2. Honestly just working. I have a backlog of projects im needing to do like replace a broken lazy Susan cabinet which i have the parts but not the time. Oh, but you said fun…uh, wife and i have been doing some puzzles while listening to audio books. Going through the murder bot books atm and just finished a succulent puzzle. That’s been pretty fun and relaxing

I listen to pretty much anything except country and pop. Favorite is alternative/hardcore. Don’t listen to much these days though and when i do i find myself turning to my collection instead of anything new.

Can’t tell you the last concert since it’s been so long. I’m pretty noise sensitive and prefer listening to stuff when/where i have control of the volume 🤣

Appreciate it!

The package is advertised as 100% plant based which is not vegan, so i don’t think they are saying that wildflower honey is harvested without intermediaries.

Good example of why plantbased as a term is literally worthless though

👀 where did your kale go?

Looks yummy!

Id stay with you too… just saying 😅 looks delicious!

Ive been working a lot of overtime so my strategy has been to just not go outside. So no seasonal activities or anything fun. Fortunately i should be about done with the overtime. Looking forward to not feeling like a zombie

This past week we made a vegan sausage cassorole. Used store bought sausages and they were just ok. I think i need to give making our own a try because I’m sure it would be cheaper and then id have better control over quality. Has anyone had any luck making their own sausages? No need for a recipe unless you have a link handy

I don’t really do new years resolutions since i am pretty motivated to regularly update my goals and keep them. But one of my current goals is to work on my portfolio since I’m not 100% optimistic in my job security long term.

I have some specifics for that written down but one of action items is that I’ve started a handful of projects and I’m needing to focus on one long enough to finish it before moving on to the next. Like one of them is an idea for a side hustle so I’ve got the domain registered but need to start developing it. Stuff like that. So I’m at the point where i have my action items written down but need to prioritize them and get to work.

Anyway, nothing terribly exciting. Happy new year all!

Damn, hope you feel better!

But what a journey! That is great that you were able to turn things around and reversed the pre-diabetic diagnosis. I saw my dad fail to do that until he was diabetic.

And for me it’s not that i don’t trust doctors, so much as i don’t trust the capitalist machine they serve where practices have been bought out and every patient is just another metric. I’m impressed by your ability to navigate all that on your own though, and great job getting things back in check

@hamid i think we’re due for a new weekly thread. For the question how about new year resolutions or plans for the new year? Easy this week 😅
