Daal, Daal as Far as the Eye Can See

It's day 25 of Thingadailies! (That's great, but that also means I only have three days to finish writing, edit, and post a short story for my Patreon supporters. I guess I should figure out how it ends...)

So Much Daal

As you can guess, I made daal this evening. A lot of daal. I'll be eating this for a week, which would be fine if it tasted better, but it's just sort of okay. My only hope is that it will improve after spending a day in the refrigerator. It might. Some food is better the next day.

Foster Updates

We're in a holding pattern. I'm waiting on the results for Gnocchi, Lulu is about the same, and the Maggot Muffins are adorable and slightly less poopy. I need to run a load of laundry for them.


AITA for refusing to pay for an exterminator when a spooky spell attracted spiders to my friend's house?


It's weird that creating a YouTube short is the easiest of all options...

Give Lulu a gentle hug from me! And yeah, Gnocchi looks like he's holding a grudge. Good luck with the daal. I say Tim got what he deserved. He is the asshole. And the spiders were probably harmless anyway! Gnocchi might, however, think you are the a-hole for requiring a certain vet visit...

Gnocchi *definitely* thinks I'm the a-hole. But she doesn't hold a grudge, which is nice.

*she*. Okay, then! I need to go look up daal.

Ah, okay. And this recipe has a fix for your daal. https://www.recipetineats.com/dal-indian-lentil-curry/ maybe try the Tadka part on top of yours if it is still meh. I make Japanese curry a lot as I'm not much of a lentil fan.
