the blattlach were mediocre, but the blintzes were good

jadelennoxFor reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I made a GF variant of Emma Goldman's blintz recipe this morning. (It's because for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I happened to have farmer cheese in the house.)
When I went looking for something snappy to turn my blintzes into a post, the first quotation on wikiquote is from a newspaper report after her arrest:
I feel sure that the police are helping us more than I could do in ten years. They are making more anarchists than the most prominent people connected with the anarchist cause could make in ten years. If they will only continue I shall be very grateful; they will save me lots of work.
Anyway I am not an anarchist by any measure whatsoever, but I have generally found reading Emma Goldman to be informative and fulfilling (My Disillusionment in Russia is gutwrenching and honestly I think keyboard warriors should read it). Her wikiquote page is so chock full of evergreen statements that I can't even cherrypick anything else to quote. But how about this one?
The very proclaimers of "America first" have long before this betrayed the fundamental principles of real Americanism...the other truly great Americans who aimed to make of this country a haven of refuge, who hoped that all the disinherited and oppressed people in coming to these shores would give character, quality and meaning to the country.
You can make blintzes vegan, too, if you use banana instead of the egg and flip the blattlach very gently. That can be potato or blueberry blintzes, although I've seen a recipe for blintzes with cashew cheese.
In conclusion, blintzes! Mine had strawberries.

Pencils: Mike Sekowsky

I never realised this period in Wonder Woman ‘s history was so unpopular. I thought it was just about fun spy shenanigans. Oh, well. At least I am enjoying it and that’s all that matters really.

Batman: Dark Patterns #5 is in a gangster's body.
Jun. 8th, 2025 11:01 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyThe body's Bledin Towers, a Gotham City apartment building - the gangster's the Ventriloquist's Scarface.
Batman'd entered the Towers in issue #4 to resolve a hostage situation - he found Scarface the hand behind it.
Many of the Towers' inhabitants were Scarface's minions - surrounded by them, the Bat fled, Scarface echoing.
" You've invaded me like a cancer cell. "

As a warning, "The Slavers" (specifically the later issues) deals with sexual slavery. To Ennis' credit it's taken very seriously but it's still raw reading.

Jun. 7th, 2025 10:20 pmlarissai've just started chapter 3 of trails in the sky sc, so here's some thoughts!
( Read more... )
i'm torn on whether to go to crossbell or cold steel after i finish all three sky games. on the one hand i think it would be best to play through the games in release order, and from what i can tell, the crossbell games are very similar to sky in presentation and style. that said, i've read that crossbell should be played after cold steel 1 and 2 so i'm undecided. regardless i intend to pick up at least one of them in the upcoming steam sale, assuming they go on sale. (please go on sale.) it's been really nice to play this series on steamdeck; despite being listed as unsupported on steam, FC and SC have run perfectly and have full controller support.
i'll likely have more free time tomorrow to play (raid unexpectedly got cancelled) so i'm looking forward to more!
that double just loosened him up last night
Jun. 7th, 2025 10:22 pmmusesfoolI used decaf to make coffee granita last night, and I had it for dessert this evening along with a dollop of homemade whipped cream, and it seems to have worked out all right - no late evening side effects of caffeine that I can feel. And I think it's better later in the day as a treat than as my morning coffee, because I eat it so quickly and also it's sweet. I don't put any sugar in my regular coffee, but granita requires it so it doesn't freeze solid. I used vanilla sugar but can't really detect the vanilla (or, rather, differentiate it from the vanilla in the whipped cream).
Also, they were on sale, so I bought a pack of paper plates and they made cleanup after cooking so easy that I remembered why I used to use them regularly back before I had a dishwasher. My plan to replace my dead dishwasher is to try the 4th of July sales - Friend L is going to join me at the store to see if the model I want (Bosch) actually fits in the space I've got (and if it goes on sale - it did not for Memorial Day, that I saw, but maybe I don't need the more expensive/top-of-the-line model? It's just that it has something that will allegedly turn the machine off if it senses a leak, which seems like a good thing to have, especially when you live in an apartment above other people and are responsible if any leakage causes damages below you). Anyway, July is a three-paycheck month, which gives me some leeway for paying most of it off ASAP and not increasing my credit card debt any more than I have to.
