My mom verrrrry casually mentioned that her mom used to make suji halwa differently than how she taught me. I don't want to lose such recipes. I have seen that kind of traditional Punjabi recipe many times on YouTube, not realizing it was my family tradition too.
Yes. I do watch suji halwa recipe videos on YouTube. It brings me joy.
I have so many other creative ideas to follow now. I have been thinking of recording my parents talking about themselves, their childhood, family recipes, and our childhood memories. I don't want to do anything complicated. But need to make it memorable and something I can pass on to my daughter.
I have saved up enough to redo my backyard. Iguanas are creating havoc there. :( Whatever new changes I need to make will be considering them. I HATE THEM!!!!!
This is why I am growing in community garden. Only flowers in my backyard. I can’t cut my fruit trees.
Planning to put metal sheets on the mango tree. However, I don’t know how I will protect guava and mulberry. One is close to fence -easy to jump, the other one is close to another big tree. :/
I am reading a murder mystery. I got a notification from Libby that I have only one day left. I tried renewing it, but the book is no longer available in the library. Like, what??? I immediately synced the book on my iPad Kindle and put the Kindle on airplane mode.
In short, I have to finish this book today because I want to know the killer's name as soon as possible. I won't be able to play games on my iPad until then.
A friend of mine is struggling with her partner’s casual attitude to their son’s sickness. His oxygen reading was 90-92, and he still didn't let her take the child to the ER. She quickly gave him a nebulizer to bring his oxygen back to 97.
But what bullshit is this? I wish there were a woman code where we could use a secret code where doctors and nurses know that one of the parents is not supportive. :/
They are finally at an urgent care. For now, I asked her to ask doctors for suggestions on what to do in various scenarios so that her partner would not stop the proper treatment.
The website is coming along nicely—two more pages to design and create. I have a few ideas to make those pages shine, but I am taking a break. I know stepping away from it till tomorrow will help me.
The client’s mantra is less is more. They want to see simplicity in the solution.
I have noticed that my to-do list works only if I break down bigger tasks into smaller ones. Otherwise, I get overwhelmed with a big task, and nothing happens. At least when I break down into small tasks, something is done that is better than nothing.
I got this idea while researching how AI and gamification work. I found a company called Leantime, which has an open-source project management platform. They use gamification elements in it to help people with ADHD to stay on track. I thought, why not try breaking down my tasks on my to-do list and see how it works for me? And it’s a small success so far. I will take it.
I shared the photos of my plants only with followers because some guy yelled at me about why I live in Florida and have an account on the SFBA instance.
Usually, I block and move on. However, two different kinds of trolls in the last two days made me feel like I am on Twitter 🤮🤮🤮.
I deleted my Twitter account and moved here to avoid getting into trolls again.
Anyway, I will get over this soon. Unlike Twitter, here 99.9% of people I have interacted with are kind and cool!
@Remittancegirl The same thing happened in India. The media boosted the wrong party, but people showed them what they wanted. They are still in power again. However, they are a coalition government now. They don't have the same power anymore.
A bunch of blue jays are chasing each other to dominate the mulberry tree prime location. Another pair is sitting on the moringa tree and watching the spectacle.
There are so many birds outside right now. I don't even remember the names of all of them. I know one pair is mourning dove, another is red cardinals.
Stargazing, #Gardening, #Futurama, #Startrek, #Music, #Books, #HardOfHearing, #LearningDesigner, #HearingAids, #Libraries I would instead ask about your passion projects before I ask what you do for work.#Zone10BDisplay pic AltText - A Halloween-themed shopping bag colored black with orange Jack-o-lantern 🎃 pattern on it.
