How long has it been

[jkatkina]

Atypical measures of time passing:

• Fortnights


• Number of times nails have needed trimming


• Animal Crossing moon phases


• How much salt is on the jade plant


• Batches of kefir TL has brewed (a remarkably accurate measure for a day)


• Cycles of optimism and exhaustion

measuring time

[corvi]

I've decided that the first lockdown period was the Era of the Korean Beef Broth, when juli bought a giant bag of garlicky Korean beef broth she and our roommate both turned out to be allergic too, so I (the vegetarian) ended up putting it in all my food instead. It is delicious and garlicky, but it was a little weird to be cooking various soy meats with real beef stock.

The beef broth is finally gone, as of a couple days ago. Now we're in the Era of the Ginger, where we ordered a little jar of minced ginger from the grocery store, and they were out, so they sent us two entire kilograms (!) of fresh ginger to make up for it, so now I put ginger in every single thing I cook instead. :)

I am biased, being a bone-broth maker myself, but Korean Beef Broth Era sounds delightful. Except the allergy part. It always seems so direly unfair that humans can be allergic to delicious things.

Please tell me you're going to try and use some of that to make ginger marmalade! Spicy ginger goodness on everything forever!
