    I just finished making black garlic. Any ideas for what to use it on? I am already planning on making black garlic butter.

    I won't waste something like this. It's such a long process to make.

    Oohhh, I didn't realize that it was particularly strenuous to make. I'll bottle up my jokes now

    Currently making black garlic. My entire apartment smells of cooked garlic. The other people in my building keep asking me if I'm making Italian because it's all they can smell. They love the smell but it's everywhere. If I were a modern vampire, I'd be dying from poison air right now.

    I believe that Steins; Gate is genius for making the crazy 30-year-old self-proclaimed time traveler and conspiracy theorist John Titor into a sexy war veteran tomboy.

    I swear that most people that are part of long adventure saga's and/or long smut stories have Alexandria's Genesis. Same with young adult anime characters. It's the only way that things make sense.

    Had a dream that a bunch of wolves had chased me into a house so after slamming the door, I grabbed a knife. A few minutes later I hear the door open and I stab the wolf in the throat as it's trying to bite me, killing it... Family walks in a seconds later screaming that I just killed their wolf-like dog. Woke up in a panic.

    I often dream of fucking up so bad it basically ruins my life, I can't tell how many times I've woken up believing I've murdered someone.

    Something that really disturbs me is that the strawberry shortcake dolls from the 80s still smell of overpowering strawberries over 40 years later.

    This a helpful tip for those who wish to write professionally. Never take creative writing classes. All they do is limit your creativity and make your writing capabilities worse.

    A while back I tried my hand at condensing my experiences editing into a self editing guide of sorts, trying to avoid the limitations of hard rules by putting them in context, relativizing and pointing out their intended area of application.
    I still stand by most of what I wrote, but have since come to realize that it's way too much to keep in mind.
    So no, I'm not accusing you of waterhosing.

    I see. Then we are somewhat on the same page then. We have our disagreements but they are understandable due to our writing styles.

    My problem with creative writing classes is that beginners see frameworks as gospel instead of understanding their purpose and criticize others if they don't follow it to the exact word. It's like someone chastising an F1 car because it lacks the modern safety features of a sedan instead of understanding the purpose of the F1 car in the first place.

    For those that may be interested in using this information for writing, if you ever need to, 65g of blood can be used as a single egg substitute when baking. 43 g for a single egg white. Strangely, I didn't learn this information from writing research, I was shown this in a baking class.

    Wonder what the butcher thought when someone came in asking to buy blood...

    It can be difficult to purchase. However, some meatlockers and butchers may be willing to save some of the blood that they drain if you ask ahead of time with the addition of buying some of the meat. Though you would have to call around. Last resort is the Amish.

    I sneak into alley with a trenchcoat. A man in old clothes with a beard and lantern comes out from behind a dumpster. I approach him, "So Ezekiel," I glance around to check for cops, "You got any of that, uh, cow blood for me?"

    I fucked up a few minutes ago. I was making food for this group we're hosting and some of my coworkers were in the kitchen asking about stuff. Anyways, I pulled some stuff out of the oven, set it on the counter, and looked to see that everyone was staring at me in horror. It wasn't until then that I realized that I had pulled a hot metal pan out of the oven bare handed.

    paul definitely knows his power level, or else he wouldn't have phrased his post like this with an obvious punchline at the end. he's just setting us up so that one day he would drop a "whoops just accidentally manhandled the Demon Core with my bare hands" and get away with it

    Any story can be an interesting story if told properly. This just felt like it needed to be written with a punchline.

    to make an interesting story the author needs to know what is interesting to begin with. the fact that you knew that pulling a hot metal pan out of the oven bare handed is good enough for a punchline means that you know it's not normal, and that you're not normal, and that if i one day see a news report of a man summoning Beezlebub from the local church kitchen it's probably you

    I hate these kinds of videos because I could just read them myself but this is spitting straight facts.
