Two Useful Observations

Hello. C J here. These are some fun things I thought I’d share. The furry fandom throws large city-filling events every now and then. We call these cons. They are places to be around other furries and also to buy and sell our amazing art goods. They also cure depression of any grade on the spot when you walk in. The same goes for most forms of anxiety. I’ve had some amazing and very productive conversations with a number of psychologists formally studying one for a thesis paper on positive psychology. Acceptance does that. Also, everyone’s allowed to come. We want more friends.

Next, sugar is actually really useful biologically. I do not get as someone who is mostly trained in everything but actually just biochemistry why in the name of Creation people think the stuff is toxic. Eating just candy will cause diabetes. Eating no sugar probably does worse to you. Dark chocolate is one of the healthiest food items in existence and it’s like a third sugar. The brain runs off nothing ever but glucose. The brain is kind of important. It eats glucose, a sugar. So do all of our cells. The body needs calories to move.

So I have two of my company’s goals that are still outstanding after years of setting it up. One, get a furry event in person in my hometown that includes members of other fandoms and has the same acceptance levels as a con. Two, get people to eat more exciting food. What am I going to do? I’m going to put together in person regular learn to play nights for board games and serve refreshments with cookies. Everyone is welcome. I don’t get why these two goals are late. Really, I don’t.

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

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...

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...
