Before coming out I had the stereotypical 'dysphoria beard' lol. Now, most of the dark hairs are gone entirely, and the white hairs that grow are thin and easy to shave :)

Ill be taking a break on laser until spring because the only clinic that does it is an hour from where I live and winter driving is scary (one of many joys of rural living) but Im hoping HRT will continue to make the hairs thinner and harder to see

Dont mind the shuttle, i was bored hitching with Apex and snapped this pic :)

Right now im using an old all in one thinkcentre and one of those usb connected hard drive docks for hdds, would replacing it with this be worthwhile?

Best part is theres plenty of leftovers so i dont have to cook tonight!

Today i went full paint suit and *still* got some on the one spot not covered! My partner's truck looks good though, even if it is a fruitless attempt to delay New England rust, lol

2 cans dark red kidney beans

2 cans black beans

2 large cans tomato sauce

3 large fresh tomatoes

2 large green peppers

1 large yellow pepper(or whatever, its mostly for color variety, lol)

1 medium onion (i didnt have one this time, so i used onion powder to taste)

3 decent sized jalapeños

3lbs ground beef (or chicken, turkey, or some other ground protein)

Spices to taste: salt, black pepper, tabasco habanero, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, molasses and 1/4 cup brown sugar

Optional:

Approximately half a jar of *candied* jalapeños- these little buggers are great if you feed people that dont care for a lot of heat, but still want a little kick in their chili, and theyre awesome on everyyything! burgers, subs, pizza, or whatever!

To cook:

Rinse and put all the beans in a large pot, followed by the 2 cans of tomato sauce, then dice up your veggies and throw them in, and put it on the burner while you brown the protein. When the ground is almost cooked through, drain off fat, add chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper, mix well, then add to pot. Add other spices to taste (chili is interesting because the longer it cooks, the more the taste changes, ive found that boiling it for a bit, 20 minutes or so, then spicing, then letting it simmer for at least an hour before tasting again is the best way.) So start out conservative with the spices, sprinkle, mix, simmer and taste until you get the flavor you desire. If its too spicy brown sugar will dial it back, too sweet and a bit of white vinegar usually does the trick

Simmer at least 3 hours and enjoy! Chili is one of my favorite dishes to cook, Ive never thought to write down how i make it, i usually experiment quite a bit when making it. Speaking of!!! Maple syrup ( the real stuff ladies, not brown corn syrup) is a terrific alternative to brown sugar!

Bonus pic of the girl she was with :3

Me and my purple power ranger are happy to be here!

and yes, I'm quite ashamed of my battlecry count :(

I went out to a sporting goods shop to see about replacing a pair of boots my puppy ate, and usually check out their gun area, then buy a box of each round type I use, but I havent been shooting in, ohhh 2 or 3 years lol. The result is a growing trove of ammo that longs to be used.

can't wait for future updates

But when i do, its because i just replaced a soap dispenser and thought the girl in the mirror looked cute!

(Repost because the level with my company name was in view, lol)

She came with the bike, previous owner said he'd added her years ago, she's been to Sturgis and Daytona

In my younger days I was a line cook, sometimes i like to make takeout instead of ordering it :)

Sadly im lactose intolerant and cant have steak and cheese :'(
