Today's painting :bun: :bun: :bun:
I painted this happy bunny for another family member for Christmas ❤️
I think this one is about 11" or 12" tall (oil painting, of course)

@npub1mtk…ka52 Well, it was definitely over-ripe but it wasn't mushy or anything, just huge. It'd be cool if I could get orange cucumbers but I think it was just because it was left out for a long time before I noticed it lol (I'm saving the seeds anyway, so we'll see what happens)
Orange eggplant! :blobeyes: I got a few small eggplant last year but none germinated for me this year (and I don't like it as much as other veggies anyway, so I didn't really mind lol).
WORM FARM oh that's neato
Oh, most of my potato plants have been dying off for a while now (there's one row that's still hanging on, but they're basically done). However, I found a couple of potato plants that popped up in last year's potato bed so I might have a few surprise potatoes later this autumn. Didn't you plant a lot of potatoes? What kind(s) did you plant?

@npub1mtk…ka52 GOOD MORNING! (or uh... afternoon, now? SURE YAY) :blobcatdance:
Also YAY GARDEN POSTING :blobcatdance:
Aw, sad, did you end up getting any before the frost? There've been some cool nights here that have killed a few of my cucumber plants but the other squashes are alright (for now). I just found out a week ago that I have at least one pumpkin :blobaww: but I'm not sure how much time we'll have before it's too cold here :cryingcat:
On that topic, though - here's some giant cucumbers (I failed to notice that they were growing into the grass and... well that giant ORANGE one tipped me off, and then I found more... :blobeyes:)
Also, a picture just for you of *another* surprise sunflower plant that popped up in the yard :blobcatdance:

@npub1mtk…ka52 I didn't! :blobeyes: I think it came up from scattered birdseed (there's a birdfeeder nearby and there were very messy bluejays and chipmunks)? I actually thought it was a weird weed and wanted to see what it was

Today's haul (yay more potatoes - and PURPLE ones on the far left!), yesterday's cucumbers + giant monster cucumber (whoops), and a happy surprise sunflower (I thought "huh, that's a funny looking weed, let's see what happens" and hooray, surprise sunflower :blobcatdance:)

@npub1mtk…ka52
I was serious about letting the weeds in the onions/garlic get out of hand (I mean, it's mostly grass around it, but it's been very rainy and it just kinda took off) :cryingcat: The onions are doing fine though! Some of my onions that survived from last year's poor growth (not pictured) are also still alive and flowering! :blobcatdance:
Also pictured: very happy chives
And since your weather/ growing area seems similar: Do you start onion seeds (for the next year) in the ground in the fall (when if so), or do you start them indoors in something and transfer them out in the spring, or something else?

@npub1awg…5lmc :blobaww: OH WITH RAISINS :brain3:
I have a bunch of grapes growing this year; would I be able to make it with those (and if so, does it matter if they have seeds or do I have to remove them) or do I have to make them into raisins first?

@npub19c6…n2g5 LOL you goof

@npub19c6…n2g5 so I made pizza-dough tortillas that ended up being more like gyros (I think?) in the end
Does that make me italian-mexican-greek? :blobthonkang:
I've also made chinese, japanese, and indian recipes :blobeyes:
...or I'm just "appropriating" all those cultural foods :blobdab: (AMERICA :eagleflag:)

2023-07-05 16:17:28

:ablobreach: want tortillas/pitas/tacos
:blobthinkingglare: my recipe has long wait times (for rising) and was a little difficult to roll out last time for some reason
:blobthinking: my pizza dough recipe is very similar but has more yeast and much shorter wait time
:brain3: idea
:blobthinkingfast: what's the worst that could happen - I make flatbread pizza instead?
:ablobcool: let's do this
:owonom: 12 delicious tortilla/pitas/tacos/flatbread made, risen, and pan-fried in about an hour
:blobuwu: never again having to wait 3-4 hours for simple bread
:blobcatdance: :blobcatdance: :blobcatdance:

Another new painting today! :rainbowdance: I had an idea for a dark sci-fi-fantasy painting, and decided to just go for it and see what happened. I really love the idea and I might have to do a little series of paintings like this in the future, but I think I'll have to go a bit brighter in contrast so it shows up better in my photos!

#[0] #[1] lol I see
I haven't been to a hairdresser since... high school, probably?
I have very simple very straight hair and I just cut/ trimmed my hair and bangs straight across so it was always pretty easy for me. Though it did take a few times of trimming them too short to shock me into being very careful of where to trim them! Really short bangs looked so bad on me :0171:
So I was just going to cut some simple, straight bangs, and all I was really looking for was "where do I start them on the top of the head" because I didn't want them to look like children's bangs.
I didn't think everyone would make it so complicated lol :blobconfused:
