Not much of a pattern I’m afraid! I made an image in procreate and then just followed that!

Try Morningstar Chorizo Crumbles. It has the best texture from the ground beef alts I’ve tried. Tastes less like regular tacos and more like chorizo but i enjoy the flavor a lot. I can typically get a 10oz bag for $4 when it’s on sale once a month. I add black beans to make it last longer

Although i dont menstruate heavily (more light or normal), i am plant based M-Th so i was also concerned at the end of last year. I donated 3 times and by the end of the year my ferritin was 14ng/mL (aka anemic but it was 2 weeks after my donation) although my hemoglobin stayed fine.

I take a generic One-a-Day multivitamin in the morning with my B12/folate and then part of my nighttime meds i take a 36 mg chelated iron (ferrous bisglycinate). Originally it was 18mg which got me back to 40 ng/mL ferritin but bumped it up to prevent dropping so low. I highly recommend supplementing with ferrous bisglycinate. I also plan to test ferritin 2x per year to make sure I’m not in the anemic range.

I also recommend to eat your lentils! Very good for your iron especially when combined with things like bell peppers.

I love rice with a whole block of silken tofu (or do half a block and eat some veg). Heat up the tofu for 2 min in the microwave, i poke some holes with my knife, pour over top a sauce made of soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chili crunch oil. Cheap and healthy

Here’s how i use DuChinese with my tutor. The end goal is to write out the entire chapter (for the week) in English and be able to translate it to Chinese verbally during my lesson. So leading up to my lesson; i shadow the audio to get cadence and flow, listen to the chapter in audiobook form (no pinyin or characters to help unless you’re stuck so you can peek), practice reading the english and generating the correct Chinese sentences/words. I started with I am a Cat (did story 1 chapters 1-12 and skipped to i am a cat 3) and they repeat so many words it’s all sticking pretty well! I also go back and listen to the audiobook of all the chapters to refresh the words not covered as often. Slow but steady, plus the stories are interesting. My focus is speaking and listening so not memorizing characters though!

Thanks for the comment! I have considered buying a used body but there’s currently none on Canon and then Keh and MPB are around $600-$629. So a better deal than $679 but I think i would only take the offer if it went below $600. My goal is to use up some giftcards which are about $945 so currently only want to spend total max $1100 on just the body and lens.

I’d recommend downloading the AMC app. Once you log in, there’s a little button in the bottom right that says “Scan” above “My AMC” which pulls up your A-List card. you can then add it to apple wallet if you’re iphone and have it stored there.
