I'm finally getting around to canning the stock I made the other day and holy shit, that is the most gelatinous stock I've ever made. It makes me want to try making soup dumplings.

Chilled stock packed full of collagen from chicken feet and wings

The same stock in a ladel that is so gelatinous, it mounds up within the ladel without spilling over

This is a 4.5 gallon bucket so this is gonna be a lot of work to can.

A bucket in a sink filled at least 3/4ths with strained homemade chicken stock

Additionally, I rendered about 5 lbs of brisket trimming last night and have a big container of beef tallow.

I'm going through my annual tradition of making a metric fuckton of chicken stock today. I decided to ramp up the amount of chicken to 10lbs per gallon of water and cut back on the vegetables this time. I'll start canning all of it tomorrow.

A pot filled with a combination of chicken parts - 3 lbs each of declawed chicken feet and wings and 4 lbs of bone-in breasts

I passed by this again today and caved and got it. The vinyl color isn't my favorite, but it's also not as bad as I thought it would be. I just like having a copy with the original album cover.

I laughed out loud when I saw this, but mostly because it didn't surprise me. I haven't talked like a person from Oklahoma since I was like 10 years old.

"Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation."

Turn 2 of a game of Pokémon VGC on Showdown. On my side is a Mega Gengar and a Scarf Alolan Ninetales. The opponent's side features a Garchomp and Mega Dragonite, both of which will take 4x damage from the Blizzard my Ninetales is about to unload. Neither can switch out because of Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag ability.

I've been trying to accessorize more and I think I like this combo of bracelets.

A hand resting on a knee with an antler wedding on the ring finger and 3 bracelets around the wrist. One with braided cord and a display of beads and tiger's eyes, the other just a strip of dark brown leather, and the third a couple or faux-leather bits with wide beads attached.

I have no idea the exact date he was born because he just kinda showed up when he was a kitten and I took him in, so we just mark that day as his birthday. He is (at least) 7 years old today!

The camera doesn't do this rainbow justice. It is so opaque-looking in person. I don't think I've ever seen one like it.

She has improved so much so fast. I'm honestly stunned. 😭

The swelling on her snout has improved a bit, so now we're gonna try to tackle getting her to lay her head down so she can hopefully sleep. She has been through an awful lot the last year or so and she's not getting younger so it sucks to see her have to go through this bullshit too.

I've had 3 days off in the last 7 weeks and I have to spend my day off tomorrow trying to fix my car, but tonight I'm making some time for me and mine. Cheers, everybody.

I hate that my current motivation to draw is being driven entirely by my desire to be able to draw this absolute fucking buffoon one day.

I'm finally replacing the knives I started with and the difference between my first 6 inch boning knife and the one I'm replacing it with is hilarious. That's more than a decade of use and sharpening and it's basically an ice pick at this point.

Eh, fuck it. Enjoy! It's either what I already had from the Humble Bundle ASW collection or what I decided not to claim. Please share or claim one and go mash some buttons.

The Marvel UB is an example of a UB set that I absolutely do not want and I will be skipping it... ...but I hate how much I love this card. It is so fucking funny.

A Magic the Gathering card titled "Sauron, Dino Devotee."

It is a 3(G)(G) Legendary Dinosaur Vampire Villain creature with Flying.

Its card text reads:
Whenever Sauron enters or attacks, choose -
* Cure Cancer - You gain 3 life.
* Turn People into Dinosaurs - Put a saurian counter on another target creature. It's a green Dinosaur with base power and toughness 5/5 for as long as it has a saurian counter on it.

Just assume it's a reference to her colors in Magic the Gathering and inquire no further.

One of my cats is the biggest cat I've ever had and he has this weird combination of having a stout, big body with slender long deer-legs. He generally looks like he has no neck when he sits.

I've never had chowder in my life because clams were never really a thing I could get my hands on, but I saw Kenji posted a video about salmon chowder and I just had to try it. It was so good and I'll definitely be making it again.

My ass was thoroughly kicked by work this week and DST did not help, but I managed to do this pen control assignment every day and I wanted to share my day 1 to day 7 comparison.

A worksheet with various exercises to help practice line and pen pressure control. This is my first attempt at it on day one.

The same worksheet, but done on the last day of my first week.

Working overtime this week, which means long shifts for the next 3 days, so I did burrito/burrito bowl meal prep so I'd have the time I'd normally spend cooking to use for practicing art after work.
