Alliance Comes Wearing Fur

 Hello. C J here. I’m an introvert. I expected this last week of Pride setup and Pride attendance would burn me out. I planned a week off for it starting today. Nope. Not a bit. It turns out healthy community is rejuvenating even for someone who normally prefers a good book. Time for more non stop people time. The math and writing part of this job takes an hour or two a week these days and I’m not launching until next Pride anyway so I have time.

I’ve completed step one, leave your home office. Now for step two, have coffee with a friend. This sounds like a reasonable skill progression tree to be following. And to any furries out there reading this, remember that the rest of the world considers us to be the cool people. I don’t think they know we forget that. We typically have a lot of money, support animal charities and have all the best art in our back pocket on a phone. Furries and the entirety of Pride are really exactly the same, just one has fur.

So next steps. I’m going to start posting on the Ontario and Canada Facebook furry groups. My goal is to put together a backyard furry potluck barbecue by the Summer Solstice, here in Kingston and the Islands. My birthday is on the Summer Solstice. I know a lot of these Facebook groups meet regularly and I am hoping for a large number of attendants. The food will be great.

Also, there were cool tarot card readers and some Wicca themes at Pride. I’m going to look into whether there are any communities for Wicca or similar subjects already in Kingston and the Islands I can go join. I am certain, absolutely certain, that a furry and a tarot card reader would have a lot in common and both come away from a conversation learning a lot.

My ultimate goal here as a company is to take the vast knowledge that communities like these have and want shared widely, learn it, and then make it accessible to the whole internet. Furries want everyone having a fursona and tarot card readers would I’m sure like everyone to understand how tarot cards work so they have someone to read for them. As a Norse rune reader, I agree.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
