Word of the Day: 定番

Anyway, I have a word I use when I cook stuff without a recipe, where I am trying to be creative or just want to eat something right now.

I call these meals, " Danger meals. "

It is like 50/50 they're going to taste good or come out well, it is basically a gamble.

I call them danger meals because the word "Yabai (dangerous) " in Japanese can mean either bad or good depending on the context.

Also you can't call a professional cook's creations danger meals even if they are being very experimental because they know what they're doing at the end of the day. Danger meals sort of require this sort of haphazard, hungry-person-getting-off-of-work-and-making-something-quick sort of vibe.

I think Kenty Cook sort of fully embodies the vibe, but his skills have gone up since his first videos. It is the whole, sort of unsanctimonious fashion in which he does everything in the videos, and his actions most likely being fueled by pure hunger... ( and a little danger )

He even made a cookbook which.... makes me want to buy this cooker now. I feel like, this would be a better thing because then I could buy an extension cord and cook out in my patio. Because the fire alarm in my apartment is stupid. It goes off with boiling water.

I mean I also didn't want to pay extra for storing food in my fridge but, I could conceive plugging it back in to cook danger meals.

This might be the answer to the question I have been asking myself with how to sustain myself going forward. Maybe I don't have to give up cooking completely, maybe I just need to make more danger meals... with this cooker.

Anyway, I m already out of time with my timer so I need to leave my post for a second to gather more of that.

Ok I sort of scrapped up some time.

Anyway.. it is frustrating because, while things are super convenient as I don't need to leave my house to get sustenance, the lack of money makes options harder. Like, if I had money and convenience, all of this food planning would be done in a day, but because I am living off of rations basically, I need to be more clever. Which also makes completing my other Human Tasks very difficult.

Like I am basically still in the pandemic. Which annoys me. I think it is because Jahon casted a spell of poverty on me, the ass hole. I already had enemies, I didn't need him to join them.

Being in this situation makes me even less sociable than I would be normally because, my default mood is stressed. I don't want to taint my new energy today with shit in the past. Me recalling all of this and having the stuff doesn't help, and I in fact woke up in a better mood and more energetic today so, I won't ruin that for myself.

I guess I need to complete cleaning the apartment. Everything points to that, but it frustrates me because, I have been getting pings to go other places, but until I clean, I don't think the way to make that happen will appear.

I am gambling a lot, I keep on using my dice to make decisions but, that is not a good way to go about complex situations that won't have a simple yes or no answer to them. Also, I am pretty sure the surrounding energies are also affecting the results so, it makes it sort of not a reliable way to decide things unless they are really really simple.
