The next part of the burritos, black beans. These were soaked and then rinsed. Added enough water to cover them. 1 packet of ham saizon for smokiness, 1 small onion quartered but kept attached, 1/2 tsp of my taco seasoning, 4 cloves garlic smashed, 1/4 c home rendered lard, 2 pickled jalapenos. It'll cook on high for as long as it needs to or until the beans are soft and a few melt to thicken the sauce. Also cooking brown rice to get hit with lime and cilantro. Yasssss to burritos. #foodporn #foodie #covidalypse Everything I've posted today is dirt cheap and can be made easily. It just takes time. I spend about half a weekend day a week prepping food for the following week so I don't have to think about cooking all week.

Physical distancing doesnt mean we have to eat like shit. Home made pizza. Bacon and pickled jalapeno with cheddar and mozzarella. Can't wait! I use giada's recipe with brown instead of white sugar and 2 c of whole wheat. Lasts a week in the fridge. If you don't eat it all. #eatgoodfood #citysteading #makergonnamake #craftyfuckers #maker #foodie #foodporn #hotpeppers #spicy

Make yourself some taco seasoning. I triple the recipe to make a huge amount. After it is mixed put it into a grinder and grind it up for perfect flavoring. Add marjoram if you only have Greek oregano. I use both. This is enough for 6lb of meat. We go through a ton of it. I'm going to sprinkle chicken thighs with this a bit of apple cider vinegar and oil, let it marinate a few hours then put it on the grill. It is also good in beans and on seitan or tofu. We're doing burritos with grilled chicken black beans and limed rice. #eatgoodfood #citysteading #makergonnamake #craftyfuckers #maker

Sprouts and jerky. The jerky is moose meat from my Dad marinated in a umami punch of fermented blueberries, garlic, peppers and thyme with some.black pepper salt and a bit of tenderizing apple cider vinegar. The sprout are a zesty blend. I'll have them in a salad and a side treat of jerky. #makergonnamake #eatgoodfood #foodie #hotpeppers

Still hurting. My sugar rush peach finally got mostly ripe. I was expecting something... less hot so I bit into it full of bravado and regretted it seconds later when it exploded with juiciness and filled my mouth with habanero level heat. Seriously wasn't expecting that level of heat or the juiciness. I'm drooling and my nose is running. Best sinuses clearout ever. Also my tolerance is way down. #hotpeppers #hot #growshit #proudplantmom #grow

I can't concentrate. This is pretty typical for me in times of stress. My mind shifts down. While I'm functional in all my daily activities I'm not at thinking. I'm easily distracted and staring at my laptop is something my mind can't seem to do. I'm going to try a few other things to keep at it (my novel) but I need to set it aside for a week. Then get back to it. This is a reminder for creatives to be kind to ourselves. If your worry and anxiety are getting in the way of your creative was work, fine. It is okay. It will come back. Do things to fill your well, and relax. #amwriting #lesfic #manuscriptingpod #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writing #wlw #flf #assinchair #fingersonkeys #stationery #penaddict #rsvpstationerypodcast #manuscriptingpod

I didn't take a post pic. I got maybe 300 words in today. The #covidalypse has my mind spinning and I could not write the scene I was in. I was tempted to skip around but I just couldn't focus. Instead I made pizza dough and baked it on the grill and an amazing Punjab inspired dal. And quick pickled some macho chilis. I potted up 36 super hot plants and still I could have done more. . And of course work looms overhead as the unknown of what is next with c*vid19 and this system. . Also I am attempting to figure out if I can make #manuscriptingpod a thing again. I have 8 books I can record asap. I need to record a new intro since that was on my old laptop. I want to keep all this stuff in the cloud. And on my phone. I need to record and edit and post in about 30 minutes so that it doesn't feel like a chore. It needs to feel fun. Also please note I am NOT looking for suggestions here. I'm exploring the difficulties of writing when the whole world around you is on fire and your friends and family are anxious AF and no matter how much you try, you feel that too, and want to love and help, but can't do much, because well pandemic. And because I'm empathic and care it hits me hard. #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #manuscriptingpod #lesfic #wlw #flf #assinchair #fingersonkeys #distractions #pomodoro

Scored a pizza stone from my local free page. This is massively thick so I figured I'd toss it.on the grill and inch the heat up slowly, and yeah man, perfection. Getting some good char. #makegoodfood #pizza #hotpepper you can't see them but there are quick pickled chilis on each pizza. Whole wheat crust based on giada's pizza dough. #eatgoodfood

The start of dal. It will get lentils and tomatoes then some cream to finish it off. Added a bit more chili than it called for and whoa. I used my own special chili powder from a ferment that had loads of ginger, so good. #cookshit #cookgoodfood from @smittenkitchen the whole house smells like garam masala #vegetarian

I didn't write this AM. That's cool. Seriously. I looked into option for recording via my phone, can I record a podcast that sounds okay (if anyone knows of a good mic for droid let me know, or hey if you want to donate one...) so I can get back to recording manuscripting pod. Anyway, recording with my headphones sounds terrible, with my lapel mic is quiet, and I can't hook my podcast mic up to the phone. So yeah. I'm going to see how my bedroom, and livingroom sound when it is quiet out. Apparently the morning commute is not quiet, go figure. The goal is to spend no more than 15 min on an ep, and get it posted from the phone to the blog. It is pretty seamless via the apps. Or should be. Anyway, if you have a mic and an app you like let me know. For now testing will be with what I've got going so far. #manuscriptingpod #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writing #wlw #flf #assinchair #fingersonkeys #lesfic #gooduseofathometime

Ahh yes, new pizza box is here. Waiting for it to set up and then I'll load my apps on. Also simultaneously factory wiping the OG Cheese Pizza. Sigh.

Another morning of #amwriting some rough patches here but the bones are here. I keep forgetting to start my pomodoro timer. So this is closer to 30 min of writing. 791 words is pretty good. Today is the last day on THIS VERSION of cheese pizza the laptop. It is getting exchanged for the exact same model. This one developed a line of dead pixels across the top third of the screen. Anyway. I like this cheap laptop. It does the job. #lesfic #manuscriptingpod #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writing #wlw #flf #assinchair #fingersonkeys
