your closest affinity Rye Secale cereale — Anatolia, then northern and eastern Europe You are Rye — the grain that began as a weed in wheat fields in Anatolia and eventually became the dominant cereal of the cold northern lands where wheat would not thrive. Rye spread north and east through medieval Europe, becoming the everyday bread of Germany (pumpernickel, vollkornbrot), Scandinavia (rugbrød), Poland and Russia (zhitnyi khleb, kvass), the Baltic states. Whiskey, vodka, and various northern spirits run on rye. The flavor is robust, sour, dark, faintly bitter; the gluten is different from wheat's and produces a denser, moister loaf. Rye contains gluten and is not celiac-safe. You are the figure of the cold-climate grain — endurance, sourness, dark loaves, long winters, and a flavor that tolerates more than wheat can imagine. secondary affinities Barley The ancient world's everyday grain — for bread, soup, porridge, and (above all) beer. Spelt Hexaploid hardy wheat — the Roman army's grain, hardier than common wheat, gentler-flavored than rye. Oats Began as a weed; became the heart of Scottish, Irish, and Northern European peasant life.

Two posts from different short-form sites: champagnecruz says: Having hobbies as an adult is wild. You'll get emotionally demolished at work and then be like "Anyway, I'm off to pottery class at 7pm" Eagan @zeagan says: As a childless adult it is my duty to embrace hobbies and pastimes that my peers cannot, as they have sacrificed their free time to maintain the population. I must vibe and chill, and do fun things, in their honour.

A photo with a book, a notebook and pen, and a cup of coffee labeled Pammel Park Coffee in the foreground, while the background has an old brick building and a vaguely federalist style courthouse. I haven’t been here in months because I told myself I’d wait till my first paycheck came (which isn’t happened yet) but my husband told me since it’s our anniversary I was required to go to the coffee shop and have whatever I wanted.

a very crummy overhead shot of Carter Lake, IA, a u-shaped oxbow lake that used to be the route of the Missouri river until it straightened. The Missouri river itself is visible in the background. All the land on the far side of the river is Iowa. All the land on the near side EXCEPT the town inside the "U" of the lake is Nebraska. That town existed before the river changed course and was retained by Iowa in the Supreme Court Case "Nebraska v. Iowa", 143 U.S. 359 (1892).
