Ask me food safety and food science questions.
What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
The goal this year (2026) is to lurk less and post and comment more.

Why not do a basic food safety course? It could help you find a job (a server, anyone even passing food to customers in a container is considered a food handler like a cashier, even a dishwasher because they handle clean dishes that touch people’s food), and it’ll help you keep you from getting sick.
One of my first jobs between school years was as a busser before I worked a summer in a chocolate factory. From there, you talk to people and get their insights from their previous jobs, and you figure out if it’s something you could stay in longer or if it’s just a job to pay the bills.


“I’m so hungry, I could eat the ass out of a low flying duck.” “Fuck me dead.”
Might not be idioms, but they do put some weird images in to one’s mind.


That’s awesome. I’m going to have to look in to this more seriously. Thank you for adding more fuel to a tiny little flame. 😊


I do remember using a pedal, and I don’t remember it being too hard. I do recall, however, one of the troublemakers in class would put the pedal to the metal and the teacher would give him an earful.
What are some of the things that you’ve sewn? I need a little inspiration, maybe it’s time I pick it up as a hobby and not just for school.


Play guitar, or sew. Guitar because I play woodwinds, so when I’m sick, I’m pretty useless. At least with a guitar, I can cough my lungs out and still somewhat play guitar if I’m not heaving for air. Or someone else can sing for me.
Sewing because then I wouldn’t have to resort to a single needle and thread and have no idea what I’m doing when patching something up. If I could remember how to use a sewing machine from home economics class in highschool, then I could start a little hobby business on the side, and I wouldn’t have to give up my favourite pair of jeans. :(
