Neither/Nor 50s housewife struggling to be both interested and interesting *without* booze. Kind is better than nice, and nice is different than good. Salt early, salt often. #BLM #UniversalDesign

Close-up of the book “Mastering Pasta - The Art and Practice of Handmade Pasta, Gnocchi and Risotto” by Marc Vetri with David Joachim. The book is close to square and the cover is a photo of a wooden cutting board full of assorted pasta dough trimmings and a wheel cutter. Everything is dusted with white flour.
Close-up a steel kitchen bowl. Around the outside are bits of potato chip bags, a salt cellar, and a half-pint container with the last of a spice rub. In the bowl is a 3+ pound pork butt. It is tied up with loops of string and is generous covered with the spice rub. The butt is red with the dried peppers in the rub.
A pretty boring, beige countertop with a lemon, lime, container of sea salt, the bottoms of various oil bottles visible around the outside. The focus is on a small red tamagoyaki pan resting on 2 cloth mesh produce bags. It is brand new with all the stickers still attached. Most of the label text is in japanese, but in english the brand reads “Compact” and is identified as 10x16 centimeters.
Four small ziplock baggies labeled as “Bad Squiddo Games — Community Minis Project.” Each bag has a color photo identifying the 28mm pirate miniature inside with painted versions of them. The minis are clockwise: The pair Rupa & Mei, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Ching Shih.
A thin red book sitting on another obscured one, beneath the head of a blackthorn cane all on an aged wooden counter. The red book is titled “The Great God Pan (Arthur Machen) in white type. The cover art is a black illustration of a heraldic lion rearing up on the branches that resemble raptor talons.
Top-down view of a head of cauliflower on a baking tray. It is varying colors of mostly light earthtones with several darker browns at the ends of the florets. These areas are both charred spots as well as whole spices.
A roughly torn open bubble wrap package sitting in a lap of green & white plaid pajama pants and hot pink and powder blue socks. The package contains 3 small boxes labeled “Tiny Epic Game of Thrones”, “Fire & Ice”, and “Heroes Pack.”
POV: Sitting across from my sweetheart with a multicolored short-hair guinea pig cradled in her arm. The piggie is chewing a cornhusk and silk. Between us is a game in progress set up on red velvet. The game components are a series of tiles and disks illustrated to look like the surface of pond with water lilies, dragonflies, and fish decorating it.
Close-up on text in a printed rulebook. The language is Danish, but the focus of the image is the paragraph heading: “Sluttbonus.”

A digital trading card of the Pokemon Golbat. The art is mixed media and has a crayon vibe. Golbat itself is a giant blue jelly bean with wings. It is mostly gaping maw. The background is an explosively colorful cavern full of all the tites and mites you can imagine. The card’s border is holographic foil. It’s pretty fancy.
An arm triumphantly holds aloft a 15 inch brussel sprout stalk like a spine. All of the little nubs where the sprouts actually grew look like vertebrae. The arm has a tattoo that reads “YOU DIED” and the background is a kitchen corner painted in blackboard paint. There are chalk notes scribbled on the wall all around a magnetic knife rack.

A close-up of the described dish. It shows the detail of the pasta shape which is a 2” disk that has been pressed with a pattern on both sides: Sunburst on the front & spiral on the back.
mahoganybooks ... "I did not tell you that it would be okay, because I have never believed it would be okay. What I told you is what your grandparents tried to tell me: that this is your country, that this is your world, that this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it." -Ta-Nehisi Coates
Close-up of a card from the vintage ccg On The Edge. It depicts a character named “Azza Jami, Lost Android”. The art is an old-school Max Headroom/ 90s rave flyer computer art portrait of a carnival psychic over a background of maps. Chrome text across her reads “YOU ARE HERE.”
POV through a pair of reading glasses. While the title is easy to read in large yellow type on a black background, all of the body text of the card is about 4 points tall and is black on a purple background. It is illegible.
Two expansion boxes for the game “Villainous”, one picturing the Incredibles baddie Syndrome and the other, Gaston.
A player looking cartoonishly despondent at the final state of a board game. The game is set up on a red playing surface and consists of multicolored cards, boards, and tokens of various sizes. The effect is a kind of dashboard detailing the injuries and complications of an ER patient and their attending doctor.
Screenshot of a check-out page for the aforementioned Over The Edge 30th Anniversary ccg bundle. There's little thumbnails of the 2 starters and a whopping FIVE booster boxes... Please let me know if your text readers can't read the image text. I'll adjust this description.
2 starter decks of the vintage (face-palm) ccg’s: Rage and Doom Trooper. The Rage box is orange on black and features a super angry werewolf. Doom Trooper is camo green with gold text over some symmetrical silver gears and bladey bits.
