I love pizza, like a lot. A large New York-style with pepperoni and extra cheese is life’s greatest delicacy, I believe. But there is such a thing as too much, and a holiday dedicated to it is definitely too much.

Thanks for the pic, I really want a 924 Turbo--right car right time hasn't come up yet.  Still up, planning garage wiring and hoping to get it all done so I can get past the construction stuff and back to working on cheap, fun cars.

I broke down all the amazon boxes we had left over from the holidays tonight. Admittedly it was mostly my fault the boxes were there, but it took about 2 hours.

I am clearly out of shape but honestly I definitely needed the exercise.

Motivation is hard, but it’s easier with a car you love in the garage.

Habit, I suppose. I’ve made a weekly thing out of it, and would hate to stop now. I gotta admit though, on weeks like this when I’ve procrastinated until the weekend, it is tempting to just skip it. But the result is satisfying, and there’s always something new to see/learn about.

Cars to save: 1. 1983 Volvo 240.
Was given a Volvo 240 for free, had been sitting for 10 years.
Had it sitting at a friend’s house in Los Angelesbecause I couldn’t get it running quickly. No paperwork.
Over Christmas, his dickhead landlord had it towed as an abandoned vehicle. It’s coming up for auction from the tow yard in a few days. I don’t have the spare cash for a flight out to LA and back just to pick it up. http://hstowing.com/product/1983volvdl/

If anyone can prove they’ve saved it, I’ll give them the keys.

2. My damn Volga.
It’s been sitting around for 6 months in Moscow while I get told work is being done, but receive no picture updates. Turns out, as far as I can tell, work has NOT been getting done. When you’re not there to work on something, Nothing happens. I wanted it here to DO things.

3. My daily driver Volvo.
It’s getting rusty and I’m worried about it.

4. 1981 Toyota Celica Supra
I helped a friend get the car for free minutes ago. It has now become very rusty. I need to fix it. Or realistically, get ahold of a scrap ‘81 Celica hatch shell out west and do a LOT of cutting.

That’s the short version.

I don’t eat pizza like I use to. I’m far too health-conscious to do anything more than a couple slices every couple months. This is also coming from the person who would readily do Chinese takeout a couple times a week if he could double his current metabolism.

Here is a song that I enjoy:

From what I’ve seen, the Amazon boxes tend to fall apart earlier than you would expect from sturdy cardboard. So, ultimately, we’re going towards a R ubbermaid + “ throw out the shitty things we don’t use” solution. Amazon boxes are great for kids to put away their things, or maybe some Nintendo Labo parts, but I wouldn’t trust them for anything more robust.

Sounds like a plan. I’d love to get some decent sleep. C ollege always seems to keep me up late whether I like it or not and while this firm mattress has been great for my back it’s not as comfy as I’d like it to be .

Fair enough. I’ve gotta invest in some boxes to store the parts and pieces I’ve got strewn about the garage, once I get my car mobile again.

Right?!? I’ve actually got a bit of lower back pain that comes out when I lay on my back on my mattress. Not sure if it’s firm or soft, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been using it since Kindergarten or 1st grade.

Sounds like your mattress is thoroughly worn out. I’d recommend replacing it.

Try a medium-firm memory foam or latex mattress. Your back will thank you.

just got back from gym. its 1:15am and im drinking a protein shake

Future Heap Owner > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 02/10/2019 at 01:19

The bamboo is a wrapper to hold it all together while the rice cooks. You remove it before eating

The filling is mushroom, carrots, and tofu that’s been marinated in a soy sauce, oil, and lime juice sauce. The tofu is the best part, the other ones may have been chopped too small.

The first one was pretty tasty, but  not quite done; seems like I’ll need to go for at least two hours straight.

Protein shake tomorrow morning for me. When it’s cold out, I also heat it up like hot chocolate because that’s the flavor I’ve got.

That sounds amazing and I need a recipe and instructions to try this out! Where can I buy bamboo wrapper? I might have to check the local oriental market.

Shit, it’s not even 11 yet! I’ve only had 2 beers and am searching for Porsche parts and videos on  the interwebs, as grown men do on Saturday nights. I’m sure you can relate ;)

They’re called zongzi. They’re traditionally eaten at the dragon boat festival, in the springtime.

The bamboo you should be able to find at an Asian market. The other crucial thing you’ll need from there is sticky rice, also called sweet rice, or glutinous rice (tho still gluten-free). Note that sushi rice is not the same thing.

You’ll also need kitchen twine to wrap the dumplings, but you should be able to get that lots of places.

If you search around for how to make zongzi, you should find plenty of recipes. There seems to be a good amount variation in the details on them, but generally you soak the dried bamboo and sticky rice for a while (or overnight), then prep your fillings (you don’t need to cook any of them, they cook in the dumpling). One thing I do that most of the recipes don’t mention is add a little oil to the sticky rice to make sure it won’t stick to the leaves (also cause fat is delish).

My tofu marinade is one of my favorite food combos in general (my go-to protein centerpiece), and it’s from this banh mi recipe: https://www.loveandlemons.com/seared-tofu-banh-mi-sandwiches/

The hardest part for sure is assembling and wrapping the zongzi . The triangular method is best, but it takes some finesse. Watch lots of videos first to get an idea, and then practice will make perfect. Do be sure not to lean too much on pulling the tine twight to secure things, since that’s an easy way to break leaves.

It’s labor intensive but so tasty   and unusual (even compared to other dumplings; most have wheat -based wrappings) that I think it’ll be worth it as an occasional weekend feast.

I’m actually running outta Porsche parts to look for and find online. Videos on the other hand, I’ve got those in spades. Here’s my appropriately named playlist on the topic.  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCM0k4ZRwYNvmTzDNllX-OL4XfJxVOFqA

Ballmer. Fucking. Peak.

I’ve rewritten three functions (and they actually work as intended.)

Which of course exposed an ugly structural flaw dating back to 2012.

So now I have to rewrite the main loop. Yay.
