Loki, Odin and Thor
No AI. I felt like drawing the gods, and I'm happy with how this came out, especially Thor. Pencil on mixed media paper.

I have an epic amount of zucchini in my garden, so I shredded up a couple of pounds for soup, fritters, and bread..
Recipe:
500 g/1 lb zucchini (2 medium ~ 23cm/9″ long)
1 tsp salt
Batter:
1 large egg
▢2 green onions , halved then finely sliced
▢1/4 cup parmesan , grated (fresh or store bought)
▢1 garlic clove , large, minced
▢1/2 cup / 75 g flour
▢1/2 tsp baking powder
▢Pinch of pepper
▢4 tbsp olive oil , separated
For Serving:
▢Yoghurt or sour cream
▢More chopped green onions
Cook ModePrevent screen from sleeping
Instructions
Zucchini:
Grate zucchini using a box grater. Grate on the diagonal so you get long strands.
Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix, then leave for 10 minutes+.
Squeeze out excess water using hands (or bundle up tea towel) then place zucchini in a bowl.
Batter:
Preheat oven to 200F/100C (for keeping fritters warm). Place rack on tray (helps keep crispy)
Add egg, green onions, parmesan and garlic into the zucchini bowl. Mix to combine.
Scatter over flour and baking powder (don’t dump in one spot), and add pinch of pepper. Mix until flour is just incorporated – batter should be thick but soft (see video, Note 1).
Cooking:
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat (or medium if stove is strong). Drop 1/4 cup batter in the pan (ice cream scoop is perfect). Do 3 or 4 mounds.
Flatten lightly with spatula to about 1cm / 4/5″ thick.
Cook for 3 minutes until underside is deep golden (adjust heat if browning too quickly). Flip and cook the other side for 3 minutes. Transfer to tray and place in oven to keep warm.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve immediately with a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream and garnish of extra green onions if desired.

It's not quite soup season, but i couldn't resist.
1 large zucchini, shredded
1 large russet potato, diced
1 medium yellow onion
1 carton chicken broth (make it vegan by subbing veggie brorh)
Garlic to taste
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Heat oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Add diced onions and sweat until translucent. Add minced garlic. Add potatoes and broth. Add zucchini. Simmer until potatoes are soft. Let cool, then blend until smooth.
Would be great with a splash of heavy cream.
I just finished this book and I found it quite insightful and very well researched. The author goes deep into the history of Loki in and out of the Eddas, blending a scholarly work with a devotional, as Loptson is a Loki devotee.
I'd love to discuss this book with anyone else who has read it. I myself am Lokean, and I found new aspects of the god I love in this book.
I started this project a few years ago and recently revived it. It's been fun to play around with this old property. I'm trying to maintain that classic red brick that's so iconic of Chico throughout the zoo and use sycamore maples and london plane trees in what I imagine as a park-like setting. What do you guys think?
This is a fictional zoo built on a real place. My hometown used to be home to a huge match factory, which burned down in the 1990's, leaving only the shell of the old factory building still standing. It's a cool piece of property on the edge of town that's currently abandoned. Barber Bio Park reimagines this proterty as a zoo and aquarium. I wanted to preserve the original factory building and maintain the classic red brick that is so common around town. Currently, the family farm, Africa Rocks, Predator Canyon, Gorilla Canyon, and part of the North America section are complete.
Petco and Petsmart both don't have crickets. I guess its too hot to ship them right now. But, my tarantulas like their crickets. Are there any local reptile/invert enthusiasts that breed their own feeders be interested in selling me a few?

That rediculous plant requirement (or lack thereof) really limits the creativity.
Picked up a used 2070 GPU off Facebook Marketplace today to replace my old 580. Not quite the reccommended specs, but I should be able to play it. Come on October! Let's gooooo!!!!
Bright and herby. No recipe, just thrown together.
1 cup bulgur wheat
2 bunches parsley
3 sprigs mint
1 cucumber
A ton of cherry tomatoes
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Garlic salt
Hydrate the Bulger with boled water and drain. Chop parsley, mint. Dice cucumber. Halve cherry tomatoes. Combine all ingredients in bowl, dress with lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Chill.
I added a packet of tuna for extra protein.
It was a lovely morning in the park. I got there early, so I was able to find parking at the trailhead and there was almost no one else on the trail. 2.2 mile hike, I skipped the steep one-way part by the cascades and went back the long way. Got to have the falls to myself for a little while. It was getting busy by the time I got back to the trailhead.
It was a lovely hike. I got there early and there was almost no one on the trail.
I just picked up a used, custom built machine with the goal of throwing some upgrades in it to run newer titles. Current specs are:
CPU: Ryzen 5500
GPU: Raedon X 580
RAM: 32 GB 3200 DDR4
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Wifi
Storage: 1 tb SSD
Not sure on the wattage of the power supply, I'll have to open up the case and take a look.
My instinct is to upgrade the GPU first. I mostly play games like Planet Zoo, Timberborn, God of War, RDR2 and ARK, but i want to play some newer titles as well. So far, the performance isn't bad, but PZ 2 is coming out in Oct and it doesn't meet the minimum requirements for that. I'm hoping to grab a used GPU off Facebook Marketplace instead of buying new.
I want to upgrade to a 5800X3D or maybe a 5900x, since I do Blender and Photoshop as well.
What graphics card should I be looking for to complement that CPU?

Marley molted for the first time since I've had her and finally kicked the molt out of her burrow.
I consider myself Lokean as I venerate Loki and his family, but looking around my space, I've realized that I have a ton of moon imagry. It's just about everywhere. I feel like it's time to incorporate Mani into my practice, even if it's just in a small way right now.
Does anyone have information about Mani? Correspondences, ritual ideas, and the like?
