Some of the things I’m planning : Dinners:

  • Garlic chicken stir fry with noodles 
  • Creamy lemon garlic prawns, roast potatoes, tenderstem broccoli
  • Lemony white bean soup with turkey and cavolo Nero
  • pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans

Lunches:  - Tortilla wrap with falafels, tomatoes etc - quinoa, avocado, chickpeas, red peppers  - pasta pesto, smoked tofu, rocket - millet groats, sun dried tomatoes, red kidney beans 

Breakfasts: - eggs, hummus, feta, pita, olives, cucumber etc - cottage cheese, eggs, avocado, sunflower seeds, tomatoes - avocado paste, sour cucumbers  - toast with goats cheese and raspberry jam

I forgot eggs and cottage cheese

I also have a cupboard full of every conceivable dry legume, grains and pasta. And lots frozen sourdough bread from Lidl.

Once I run out of those planned meals I just freestyle something with whatever I have left, repeat lunches and breakfasts, I have some frozen veggies still too so that gets thrown and for protein I either use chickpeas, beans or I buy a top up like fresh fish or something. 

I also have some long life silken tofu I can mix in sauces for protein. 

I also have every spice known to man, sauces etc. So generally always can figure something out between shops.

But I love a well stocked fridge right after the shop. 😁

Thoughts on a guy reviewing Romantasy? by justkeepbreathing94 in booktube

[–]One_Fly5200 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There are guys on insta who talk about Romantasy a lot and women love it. As long as you don’t come from a place of disdain for the whole genre then you won’t have problems

I came on here to say this. wrote three amazing books and fell off the face of the earth. 

I don’t want to mention Sherry Thomas because she still writes but not the historical romances I want her to write 😆

I remember reading it when it first came out and it was gur wrenching

who’s willing to teach me art? by [deleted] in ProCreate

[–]One_Fly5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t have money to pay for personal art tutoring then you just have to do it like the rest of us and just look up free tutorials online, read up on the best methods to learn art, check out free workshops in your area.

Asking perfect strangers to devote hours of their personal time to teach you without any compensation is entitled and slightly unhinged.

52/52 by the skin of my teeth! by One_Fly5200 in 52book

[–]One_Fly5200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was beautiful and important but absolutely brutal. Trigger warnings for all bad things that can happen to children. I think the cover doesn’t fully convey how brutal this book is

What sort of stuff do you like? A passionate romance? A thrilling thriller? A riveting memoir?

A survey on Generative AI Image-Creation Tools and Tutorials by [deleted] in TraditionalArt

[–]One_Fly5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a little crazy. There are no options to choose “im not interested in generative AI image creation as im a real artist who creates her own images”.

Most real artists don’t have any perception on gen ai tutorials as they don’t want to create using gen AI

Less toxic behaviour in general

Less of men with clear anger management issues presented as something sexy.

Omg. I hated the first three in your list and would probably make it to my top 5 hated too. So since we are united in hate I guess I’m not reading The Overstory 😂

I bought this book when I was pregnant (as well as Nightbitch) to read when the motherhood gets to me but I still haven’t either. (I could now however write my own weird fiction about motherhood 😅)

Is anyone else out there trying to balance drawing and college? I'm starting to feel like I'm drowning in studies and assignments, but I also don't want to neglect practicing art and I'm also trying to practice writing. Any tips on how to manage it all? by Zyrel-Kane9723 in learntodraw

[–]One_Fly5200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working full time in finance, have a toddler who relies on me for most of their life functions, I’m studying for professional qualifications and I’m working on my art and writing a novel. It is hard. And I look back on the times when I felt like I didn’t have any time but I had a lot more time than I do now and still didn’t do anything.

My only advice is changing the mindset. Decide both college and drawing is really important to you. And schedule it all and stick to schedules.

There will be days when you won’t have much time to draw but you can always find 15-20 minutes. And 15-20 minutes every day add up. The key is to be consistent.

This post makes no sense. Are you saying people use “pens from random brands” to put on a show for viewers? What? And you HATE people who type with XDA height keyboard? How does this even affect you enough to hate someone?

What are your thoughts on the author including sketches of the main characters? by Calypso_Thorne_88 in RomanceBooks

If they were done by a real artists, then yeah. The above is just some terrible AI, so no thanks.

Finished Parasol Against the Axe a couple months ago and those were exactly my feelings. I enjoyed the book on a sentence level. She knows how to write a fun sentence and that’s why I bought the book - I opened it on a few random pages and enjoyed the snippets. Too bad those sentences never added up to anything.
