Content warning: Food - Broth for Mussels
One of the things I got from #SkipperOtto was fresh mussels.
Here’s the base of bacon, garlic, shallots, and lemon grass, all sautéed in butter.
Next I added celery salt, chili flakes, and black pepper, plus a couple of cups of water, and boiled the mussels in the broth.
So good I drank much of the broth.
Picked up the last of my membership shares from #SkipperOtto tonight.

Many many more things to tinker with in there, but I’m glad I can now have a properly permalinked version of my long running food / stores / ingredients / recipes / travel journal published.
A #ToolsForThought, but for food shopping!
Anyone else seen examples of this sort of food / recipe focused interlinked site? I’d love to find more and see other approaches.
OK! With a bunch of help from Saq, I got my #GithubActions automated static site publishing with #TiddlyWiki up and running.
Say goodbye to #TWGroceries, say hello to #FoodWiki https://foodwiki.bmann.ca/
Making progress on turning my #TiddlyWiki #TWGroceries wiki into a static site.
The screenshots are an example of part of today's Journal entry, and then inline transclusion of me jotting down a recipe I made tonight.
Sunrise over Fisherman’s Wharf next to Granville Island, plus one of the new murals painted on the wharf.
I’m over on this side of the city temporarily while some renovations get done to our apartment.

A thread on the importance of post migration, not just as a technical solution, but as something that can be better than corporate systems.

Here’s an example of the output, by @utopiah
Turns out, #LogSeq can’t handle 35K small files.
The script is fast and easy.
Do I need my #TwitterArchive as one page per tweet as a #Hugo compatible set of #Markdown files?
Probably good for importing into #LogSeq or #ObsidianMd or similar tools.

Self hosting Mastodon & supporting collectives & code
I was reminded that I wrote about running your own Mastodon (on Heroku!) back in 2017. Heroku is on its way out, so I wo...Anyone saying “Mastodon should do X” should understand a couple of things.

If you’re on the “main” MastoDotSocial server, I encourage you to find a cozier home server for yourself. Lean into federation! Explore! Experiment!

Did a walk around the neighbourhood with @RachaelAshe before leaving for Berlin.
These are the fruit of the Pacific Dogwood tree, which is supposedly edible but described as “mealy”. Maybe I’ll do a jam test when I get back.
Went to Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw Grill this week, great Filipino food on Victoria Drive. Thanks @rtanglao for organizing.

Leaving from Horseshoe Bay, and then half way across to Bowen Island.
It was a long, hot, half day of travel, with ferry shenanigans as sometimes happens.
It’s been a while since some good #pickling content got shared!
On the left, refrigerator pickles with white vinegar and brine. Will take about 3 days to sour.
Right, just brine, will take 7-10 days to ferment, with a fancy Kraut Source fermentation lid.
A new to me term, “recommendation media” as driven by algorithms, from the article “The End of Social Media” by @mignano
This observation comes as TikTok algos reign supreme, Insta cranks up algos, & even FB deprioritizes friends.
First swim of the year at New Brighton Park. Sun setting at end of day, Burrard Inlet & north shore mountains behind.
We’ll try for a couple more dips this week while temperatures are high.
