Met him on a dating site and its been over 5 years now :)

Sorry not exactly a ecologist. He's a herpetologist with a focus on ecology

Lol sorry i have no idea whatca talking about

Haha I'll tell him that next time he complains about cats :P

My partner is an ecologist and hates cats because they are terrors on any ecology they are released in lol

Haha!

Haha he's looking a bit grumpy

Ah, bad timing haha.

Dr. Rumtscho

I remember you were still working on that when I popped in many many years ago lol

YES!!!! CONGRATS!

Congrats!!

@Stephie Ah yea that's tough to train "covid dogs"

How are you!?!?

Starting from chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/61748893#61748893

@rumtscho Doing great!!! A little further up I posted a few large milestones in the past few years for me

Its been years!

@rumtscho hello!

Awww

Oooh puppy!

Another cat? or a different type of furbaby

Right now I live in the middle of a city with only a roof deck for plants so tough to have a real garden

- my partner and I are looking to buy a new place together with a large yard

Lol yea I should have popped back in sooner

- Left my last job at the beginning of 2022 (was extremely overworked and stressed) and have since lost like 35lbs

- Became an uncle Thanksgiving of 2020

- celebrated 5 year anniversary with my partner this past May

- bought a home in 2018

Hmmm Its been a while so trying to think back what was the last thing I shared and what is "new" lol

does it has a slight bitterness like cranberries?

Ooooh buckthorn curd! I assume its less tart than lemon curd

Yum! I usually prefer the more tart ciders so cutting this with apple cider sounds perfect for me

Yea I was thinking it might be good in a cocktails haha!

Yum!

Wow never heard of it. Whats it taste like? Do you eat it fresh or do you process into jam/sauce/pie filling?

Apricot?

What kind of fruit is that. Its hard to tell

Then once in a while I splurge and eat way too much meat lol. This past weekend I went to a Indonesian Food and Arts festival and ate way too much food: Braised meats, seitan, tendons, and veggies over rice, freshly pressed sugar cane, chicken skewers, lamb skewers, pineapple cake, canteloupe drink, a dessert cup with different jellies and coconut juice and Water ice (festival was right next to the Johns Water Ice).

Eating a lot of mushrooms. Its so good sauteed with just butter and salt and nothing else.

I have been enjoying red quinao at lot. It has a chewier texture compared to other quinao

Been trying different grains that I don't used to eat

So been exploring a lot of vegetarian dishes

Hmmm I wouldn't say anything special but been trying to make a mindful approach to consuming less animal protein in general (I still eat meat but much less of it)

With adults, there is varying level of commitment in participation (with varying level of drunkness to deal with)

Sounds like a group of young thespians are the perfect group for this.

Everyone's is given a certain character to act out and one (sometimes more than one) is a murderer and throughout the night people randomly "die" and the group needs to figure out who the murderer is by the context clues
