Happy venting thread

Hopefully soon I’m gonna attend driving school so I can get my driver’s license

@Myoozik
That should be exciting! At least, to a degree

When I took driver’s ed back in the day my teacher was the spitting image of Dr. Eggman from Sonic. Big red mustache and everything.

I half expected the car to start flying and drop one of those giant chain-balls.

@Zincy
Ah, sweet Green Hill Zone flashbacks

@Zincy
If only we have at least one Chaos Emeralds.

@Zincy
Cool, sounded funny

Ah, thanks for the reply, mein Freund. I didn’t know what a B-A-B was at first, but through the PM’s link, I get it now. Yes, it looks really good. I’ll wait and see until GalaCon at the end of July. If I don’t find a Starlight Plushie there, I’ll try an online shop. Or Ebay. Something like that.

Hm, thinking about it, I would probably get my personal G4 trinity anyway: Starlight, Sunset & Trixie. ;-)

Kinda like the Filipino variant of tiramisu.

Goodness knows I’d happily dig into that!

Bad heat stroke but the neighbors can park again

@Khauntzat Adramélekhizarovich Searmaev
Damn, that looks delicious

Being happy is for me a mixture of the satisfaction of a moment, at the same time the inner peace to have achieved something and the gratitude and humility to have something to be happy about at all. - And no, I didn’t get that sentence from somewhere, it just popped into my head. For some reason I always have such thoughts. ;-)

The explanation to this meal can be found in the Cooking Thread. ;-D

@DarkObsidian
There’s a cookout thread in this site?

Not quite sure what Cookout means, but there is a Cook”IN”g thread here where I post from time to time (and unfortunately far too few and far too infrequently) ;-)

@DarkObsidian
Thanks, brada.

@DarkObsidian
Bunch of cooking

@DarkObsidian
That all looks amazing! What’s the main dish in the central plate there though?

The main dish is: a piece of Alaska pollock parned with oatmeal & grains, some brown rice, and lots of vegetables (Asia mix with 2 pieces of broccoli). ;-)

That’s true. But food, just like cooking as a kind of Zen exercise, and also the sports I do again to burn calories and boost my metabolism, are for me personally the best (and actually the only) ways to get out of my permanent state of being depressed. It keeps the dark and gloomy thoughts away. At least for a while. :-)

@DarkObsidian
Embrace the darkness!

@DarkObsidian
Alaska pollock…
That’s something I’d love to try! What about the side dishes!

It’s all in the Cooking thread, mein Freund. ;-)

But your interest makes me happy, so:

Three homemade spring rolls. Just prepare the filling in a pan and then wrap them in rice paper soaked in hot water just before).

A spicy miso soup. Miso paste is available at our Asian store. I always take a light and a dark paste for variety. I get the spiciness from homemade chili paste that I mix in. What you see on the side plate, then pieces of sautéed tofu, seaweed (nori) and green onions are added.
Funny fact: For the soup I use the water in which I previously steamed the vegetables. Why would I waste that too? Gives the thing flavor and preserves the environment (because of water waste). Nachhaltigkeit! (^ _ ^)

And the green tea rounds the whole thing, plus it stimulates metabolism and digestion. I usually drink 3 cups of green tea a day. Otherwise coffee in the morning and over the rest of the day water, water and again water! In the evening also like a delicious herbal lavender tea to relax and to come down. ;-)

@DarkObsidian
I’m not on the cooking thread yet, as I don’t cook much at this point. I don’t rule any of that out as possibilities though!

Thanks for the food descripitions. It all sounds lovely!

Had an amazing D&D session last night.

@DarkObsidian
I like that the peace logo was made out of sauce on top of that rice
