Eat This Newsletter 286: Cravings

Cruising the internet highway seeking nutritious alternatives to slop.

This week, unaffordable healthy diets, undesirable healthy diets, truck stops, forest gardens, and gluten.

Every so often, I open up a blank HTML document and work on a concept design for my website. Sometimes I have a theme, like my blueprint-inspired design, whereas other times I play around and see what I can make. Today I thought: what would my blog look like if it were pink? I came up with this concept design: A two-column layout for my website that has a light pink background colour and darker pink text. The typeface is a serif font. I use the "Transitional" font stack from Modern Font Stacks, and a combination of pink and purple colours that I made through trial-and-error with an RGB colour wheel. The background is light pink. The text colours are a darker pink that is somewhat close to red. I am unsure whether I will use this design on my blog, but I had fun playing around and exploring this direction for a bit.

The people who need a healthy diet most can’t afford one, while the people who can easily afford it don’t seem to want it.

Back to the Future meets Scream. This was quite silly, but also quite enjoyable. Just the right thing to chill on the couch and relax after a long day.

Also, oberflächlich eigentlich wieder ganz gute Unterhaltung. Aber das Thema selbst fand ich doch einfach eine sehr sehr seltsame Wahl für diese Filmreihe. Und die Klischees, die die Charaktere bedienen waren schon zum Augen rollen und "Echt jetzt!??" denken.

Rats! Almost home after a nice, relaxed ride with a friend when I heard a loud bang. Was't even sure it was me, but the rear tyre deflated instantly. Uh-oh. Turned out to be a hole the likes of which I have never seen before, Mended with a self-adhesive patch that held for the couple of km home. Pumped it up to pressure when I got home and will hope that it holds tomorrow. Looks like the tyre is pertty worn too.

This post will be part of a series, as I join KnitFactoryImpl's knitalong of a set in sleeve crew neck sweater for channel members. KnitFactoryImpl (aka Carson)'s videos have been a huge help and source of inspiration on my short knitting journey so far, so it's really fun t...

Düsseldorf mix: concerts, beach, work, food, flea market, poker. (33 photos)

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my photographs, why I take them, why and where I share them, and how to do that from now on. One trigger has been Instagram’s slow slide into irrelevance. I regularly miss photos from the people I follow, and vice versa, plus if I wan...

Caught this via a link HN link here, and I am full of admiration, both for the geeky side of things and for the adventurous fermentation. Some good things to remember: “Your job isn't to prevent change, it's to make sure it happens in the right direction at roughly the right speed.”

Edited to correct my terrible memory.

As I write, it is the late evening. I am getting ready to go to bed. The room is illuminated by fairy lights. I have been trying to go to bed at more reasonable hours of late, but I just saw the ten pointless facts about me blogging challenge and felt inspired to write someth...

A couple of days ago I tackled some salt-preserved lemons I had made about a year ago, just my terrace-grown lemons and salt. I had failed to notice that the air-trap fell out some time ago and the top layers, where more oxygen was available, had played host to a grey-green ...

A week ago, I had the lens in one eye replaced. The result?

“It’s a lot like the old days of trying to get a good colour print at home,” was the best I could come up with. “You print one of those test images that came with the printer, with all those different skin colours, and you discover that the pretty pink baby actually has a slight green tinge.”
