Hey - so i'm going to be moving servers later today as it's becoming clear that the mods here aren't doing enough to make racists unwelcome. We can choose to be quiet accomplices, or stand up for better.

5) Wait until the apples start to break apart and become a little mushy (about 10 minutes). Add the remaining stock, and increase heat to bring to the boil.
6) When the stock is boiling, remove from the heat and add the rice. Leave the rice to absorb the remanning stock according to the rice packet (about 20 minutes for mine). You’ll need to stir to prevent catching if you’re using a cast iron skillet or other skillet that holds heat for a long time. Add extra water/stock as required to prevent the rice from burning.
7) Remove from heat, serve and enjoy!

Ok, so you’ve got all your ingredients prepared. I used a large cast iron skillet to cook everything.
1) Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil (enough to season the skillet) over medium heat.
2) Add the garlic and onions and brown until they start to caramalize.
3) Add the Chopped apples and reduce the heat to low. Add any root vegetables at this point too, but cover the skillet as we’re going to cook the apples slow and low. (The water from the apples also helps cook the root veg). Regularly stir to prevent any burning. From now on, you’re going to keep the lid on unless you’re adding ingredients or stiring/checking on the cooking.
4) When the apples begin to soften, slowly add about 1/2 of your stock and the chopped impossible sausages, and any other veg (like the green beans, corn etc). Add salt and pepper to taste, as well as the rosemary and sage.

Apparently, this collection of ingredients made for an awesome risotto/rice that I’m going to call “Impossible Risotto”
I’m going to give you a step by step, but sadly it was so tasty we didn’t photograph the finished product!
Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped or crushed (add more if you like garlic like I do)
- Two apples, cored, peeled and sliced
- One parsnip, peeled and chopped. You could use a carrot if you want, instead, or some other root veg.
- Assorted fresh veg ( I used a handful of French beans, chopped, a handful of sporting broccoli, and about a half cup of fresh corn).
- A cup of stock, prepared. I used some chicken bouillon because I didn’t have vegetable, but do whatever works!
- two impossible brats, chopped.
- Enough rice for two people. (To taste) use whatever rice you have.
- Fresh rosemary and sage to taste.
- Salt and pepper to taste.

13.9.2023 01:01Fuck Utah - and the rest of them.I feel like it's important at this juncture while the #AppleEvent is going on that we should be #Intentional and use #MindfulConsumption in how we view any new product.
We should *all* evaluate new tech with the mindset of “But do we REALLY need it?”
If we want to live in a more sustainable world, we need to curb the "But it's new and shiny" mentality.

From the moment we arrived in #vancouver, it felt like home. Even the Border Guard said that I was #Canadian (My mother is Canadian, but because... stuff... I have never claimed my citizenship and currently only have my birth citizenship of the UK and my assumed citizenship of the US).
I had a blast, as did the rest of my team. But what really bummed was coming back to the U.S. and hearing all the usual hate in the media.
I really REALLY would love to move. The question is, how do we make that happen?

2.9.2023 23:49I just had a successful shopping trip and I’m in shock!Woop! I just rode 17.5 miles on an electric bike for my daily workout instead of staying inside on #peloton. I agreed a route and kept my tracker on (because #LQTS).
But here’s the thing. The first 4 miles were admittedly downhill (although I did pedal to go faster. The next 9 were full effort from me, and I only used the electric motor to help climb up 1,300 foot over 2.5 miles from mile 13 to 15.5 The rest? all me.
It was particularly interesting to see how other riders behaved when they saw me. Some folks love all cycling. Some, thinking I was “cheating” gave me a scowl as they went past on the other direction.
Nope, sorry, most of that ride was me (and I also pedaled on the hill).
Got home with a full battery indicated.

Well, into the bin they go.
If I don’t share it though, another group of people will claim I’m making it up.
I would love to say it’s water off a ducks back… but it’s becoming less so.
Thing is, I’m not sure what I’d do if I didn’t do this.
Based on the criticisms of late though, it’s clear I shouldn’t be.

I do *not* like using the word “Blessed” because of its religious connotations that I do not share.
But I am lucky to have a large garden, and enough time and resources to grow our own fresh food.
And I’ve not visited a greengrocer since early June.
Broccoli, Beans, Parsnips and Potatoes from our garden. All ready for lunch.
