Something that reminds you to get this particular seasoning, and no others.

In addition, apartment buildings and complexes and the entrances to suburban subdivisions could have stalls that food is delivered to, from the grocery stores. If you want to help out you could carry food from store->stall. The stalls would have what the residences they served listed as things they wanted stocked, like an external pantry that was shared by the community. You could also place orders a day in advance and it would be provided for by the local grocery. If you wanted an exotic good it might have a larger lead time, in which case you could just go to a distant store that had it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #10 notes/rice-stuff-recipe --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── Boil the rice. when it is finished and hot, add a lot of butter and stir it in. when done add cinnamon and stir it in. then add raisins if wanted. then milk to taste. add sugar if desired. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #11 fediverse/258 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food │ └──────────────────────┘ did you know that you can steam eggs instead of hard boiling them? it's much easier, and the eggs are easier to peel as well. you need one of those strainers that fits inside a pot. or you could probably jury rig something with a plate and a cup, but make sure they're heat resistant. boil some water, put the eggs in the strainer for 11 minutes with a lid on, and then cover them in cold water for a bit. boom easy peasy. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #12 fediverse/3925 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── most people, when they run out of toothpaste: "oh huh I should buy more" me, when I run out of toothpaste: "verily in three monthes time, when I shall next possess toothpaste, I shall forsoothe brush TWICE as hard and TWICE as often, to make up for the holes inflicted upon my teeth.

If you find a cursed artifact, please don't throw it in the river. It might ask you to, but please don't. Much better to destroy it by melting it down (if it's metal, which is common as metal lasts long enough to become forgotten) or convince it that it's a recently deceased person being buried (helps if you know the creator). If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a decent amount of water, and maybe exercise a bit.
