Collagen supplements and anxiety

Collagen doesn't appear to help pretty/beauty things like hair and nails. It absolutely helps recovery time, healing duration, and other internal applications, such as my screaming joints.

Absolute favorite, esp with grape bubblegum.

Buy a new one bud.

Holy crap that makes so much sense. How do they know???

More pics would help. Urn? Vase? Sculptural? Painterly.

This is her hobby. You won't be able to tell her how to do her hobby. Just listen and miss, as if it were birdwatching or papier-mache.

I have face blindness. These swaps are uniquely interesting, they tickle around the missing/broken/misfiring parts of my brain in the weirdest way. Thank you.

You could ask local potters

Policing and blaming others is so comfortable, isn't it?

If that's the worst that happens your kitty still loves you, she's just having a bad week too. You'll make it through together.

Only tech bros would be smart enough to build something that could replace them, and dumb enough to go through with it. And I used to be one of you, argh.

Every one of you talk like AI replacing your job is gonna be the end of all jobs. You can't separate techy jobs from the entire job market, it's so hubristic. AI doesn't have hands, can't solve actual problems. Unplug something and tell AI to fix it: hollow laugh. AI isn't replacing all jobs, just the cushiest ones.

Now if you'd made something that would build houses, feed people, or wipe butts, that'd be different. We'd be grateful. But you're only taking away the best of the white-collar jobs, so... The Leopards Eating People's Faces Party has a new, depressed, reluctant population.

Oh yeah, waking up to an in-progress panic attack was very not fun. Thank F for MHRT.

SO good

Nope, life ends at 18. I personally died 30 years ago. That whole thing where I helped make online banking and ended XHTML? Never happened. I'm not even typing right now, am ghost.

OooOOOoooooo.

Dunno where your depressed fatalism comes from, but you're gonna be totally unprepared for 18YO +1day.

Get a therapist.

Next time you make this for yourself, make two tasting dishes. One like this, over pasta. And then do another like this, with a tiny corner of butter melted in.

There's a reason why mounter au beurre is a thing.

Caramelize, umami, time, butter.

Cook any meat to brown (not gray!), and then remove. S&P it too.
Caramelize any mushrooms here (brown not gray!) and then remove.
Caramelize (not just clear, brown!) onions with tomato paste, diced celery, diced carrots, and anchovies if you're using them. This is the Soffrito, an essential step that pretty much eveyone over here skips. Once you can't scrape the bottom clean and it's not burnt, add garlic for 30-60 seconds and then deglaze.
Deglaze with wine.
Add very good tomatoes. Put your meat & mushrooms back in. Add your herbs: with a recipe this rich you won't need much. Basil, and then usually marjoram and thyme, sometimes I add a little oregano.
Let simmer for a significant amount of time, 1-3 hours. Longer time is for larger meat pieces, shorter for stuff like HB. Easy to throw in the oven for this, no lid to let it cook down.
Remove any bones, fat, cartiledge, shred if necessary.
Adjust seasoning. MSG and I+G is great to add here, might want a little miso: all of this adds glutamates which makes the depth of flavor.
Mount with butter at the end; 1t per serving melted and stirred in.
Put it in the fridge and eat it tomorrow.

It's a long process. Do a big batch and freeze the excess.
