These are just lazy and quick breakfast meals. Both were bretty nice.  The first is slices of raw tuna dressed with sesame seeds, sesame oil, and Tabasco sauce served on top of roasted anaheim chilis and canned black beans flavored with Chic-fil-A sauce. The second is a tuna tartar of sorts. The chopped tuna was mixed with ketchup, brown mustard, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and black pepper. Underneath the fish are shaved carrot and black beans flavored with a bit of sesame oil. Sesame seeds were added on top.

>>17488
>just lazy and quick
Lol. It'd take me an hour to learn to prepare something like that, I'd expect.  :)

They all look delish. I definitely crave such meat dishes, but I'm mostly priced out of having them rn. Any real thrifty alternative recipes that are somewhat similar, Chef Anon?

>>17493
Yeah, meat is rather expensive. A lot of the time I eat some sort of legume or grain with some vegetables.
 >It'd take me an hour 
Nah, apart from roasting and cooling the peppers so I could peel them for the first one, these only took 5 minutes or so. Both times,I just made it up on the spot.  If it takes you a lot of time to cut or otherwise prep food maybe watch some videos of people doing something and try to imitate them.  
>thrifty alternative recipes
Maybe cook an egg however you like if that is okay price wise and add it with whatever condiments and veggies you want to some beans like here: >>11685
Sliced up cabbage and/or onion wood add some nice texture on top and they are generally cheap. 

I was doing this with canned beans, but dried beans are about as cheap as food gets. Beans are not bad by themselves either, and the flavor is neutral enough you could add almost anything to them. I find adding some flavorful fat to them, sesame oil or whatever, goes a long way to making them more enjoyable.

>>17505
Great advice, thanks very much Anon!

>maybe watch some videos of people doing something and try to imitate them.  
Will do.

>cook an egg however you like if that is okay price wise
Yep they're cheap enough. I like them a lot too.

>sliced up cabbage or onion
Sounds delish!  :)

>but dried beans are about as cheap as food gets
True! My rice cooker has a 'slow cook' mode (which the instruction manual claims is much like a crock pot). IIRC, you can cook dry beans in such an appliance.

I woodn't say it's negative, it's realistic.
As someone else who's been fired before by the > going a different direction route with zero explanation dialogue 
Its frustrating; conformity and social dynamic seem to take precedent typically which I also find as crazy.
> All you can do is keep moving forward 
That's just it, one day at a time one achievement at a time;  your thoughts on this are correct don't leave a job unless you have a plan. It's easier to get a new job ironically when you have a job my only stipulation is if it effects your well being or your employer is abusive.
You shouldn't be too hard on yourself though, while employment is important it doesn't shape who you are.
I became my job at one point and while I don't regret what I achieved when it was all said and done it was just me; and learning to be myself again has its own challenges.
I wood try a few things if your unsure of your own direction explore as many options as possible at least you'll know what you like and dislike and at least give you the information to make formulated decisions going forward.

>>17482
>I became my job at one point
It's weird, because you don't, or at least I didn't, realize how true this is until it suddenly stops.

Bretty hollies. What kind are they?

>>16468
Looks like some kind of Ilex xaltaclerensis, maybe the 'Camelliifolia' one.

Naicu. The audio is somewhat overmodulated.

Thanks, Anons. In exchange, I offer you this link:  >>17495

>>17021
>Thank you for subjecting yourself to my autism.
No, thank you for displaying your enthusiasm.  It's a nice thing to see.  I'll have to listen to these later even though I'm bretty sure I will dislike all of it.

>>17023
>even though I'm bretty sure I will dislike all of it.
It's so twee that I can imagine it being a bretty big turn-off to a lot of people. If you want it out, I'd definitely recommend beginning with Begin. It's frontloaded with mellower material but gets a little more rocky after "The Island." If you still feel like you're developing Type '67 diabeetus after hearing it, then that wood be a good place to stop.

Maybe U.F.O. wood still be worth listening to for you, since it's psychedelic folk and not sunshine pop, but that all depends on your tolerance for folk music. I'm not big on the "wannabe poet with an acoustic guitar" side of things, but I can appreciate the fleshed-out orchestration. I like it, although personally I wood recommend this album before U.F.O. for that sort of thing >>7840.

>>17030
NTA
U.F.O. is a berry nice folk album.

Not sure if this channel is from one of you anons, but the music is delightful.

I guess this isn't music per se, but rather some very nice ambient background.

The Ecchoing Green, by William Blake

The sun does arise,
And make habby the skies.
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring.
The sky-lark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around,
To the bells’ cheerful sound. 
While our sports shall be seen
On the Ecchoing Green.
 
Old John, with white hair 
Does laugh away care,

From Act I: Morning of Pippa Passes by Robert Browning.

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven—
All's right with the world!

>>17069
Good one anon. Just discovered Robert Browning.

I liked this one too:

Oh, good gigantic smile o’ the brown old earth,
This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask i’ the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
Listening the while, where on the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.

That is the doctrine, shrimple, ancient, true;
Such is life’s trial, as old earth smiles and knows.
If you loved only what were worth your love,

Often the best in us springs from the worst in us.

By André Gide

Fragile, like a dream,
Beautiful, like a moment,
All  life...
