if you’re craving something sweet:

ingredients:

½ red apple

½ banana

water

steps:

chop up the apple into bite-size pieces*

slice the banana (not too thin!)

in a small-ish pan, pour just a bit of water and turn up the stove heat until the water starts to sizzle (this setting is different on every stove). you’ll want a cup of water at the ready to add more to the pan as needed

carefully place the pieces of apple in the pan. you will add the banana later, but the apple takes longer to soften

after about a minute or so, add the banana

sprinkle whatever seasonings you like on top. some people like a little cinnamon and sweetener, others choose to drizzle honey and forego seasonings altogether

remember to keep at least some water in the pan, it’ll evaporate but make it easier to move the fruit around

flip the apples if necessary

when everything is nice and soft, put it in a bowl and enjoy it alone or with some low-cal whip. better yet, use it as a filling for a sweet egg white omelette :)

*thinly slice the apple if you’d like it softer

City Solarpunk vs. Country Solarpunk

So lately it occurred to me that it seems like you could split people’s ideas about Solarpunk into two categories: “City” Solarpunk and “Country” Solarpunk.

 “City” Solarpunk:

 Tends to focus more on the idea of cities as humanity’s future, and how to improve them to that end. Better urban design/planning, apartment living, walkability, better streets, better communities, etc. Want to make cities “greener” in both tech and look.

“Country” Solarpunk:

 More of a focus on the idea of Earthships and the Homestead, as well as a preference for smaller communities closer to nature. Preference for self-sufficiency for the household and the community. 

Both of these outlooks are perfectly valid! (Though I’m partial to City Solarpunk myself) In my opinion, any realistic future is going to include a little of both. This is also very much based on my own observations and ideas, so take this with a grain of salt. I just find the differences in what people think about when they think of Solarpunk very interesting. 

This is really how gender works and you can’t say no or I’ll oppress you.

Ethereal

100 calorie egg drop soup!

You will need:

1 egg (75 cal)

1 cup of chicken broth (10 cal)*

1 tsp of cornstarch (15 cal)

1/4 tsp powdered ginger (0 cal)

salt to taste

pepper to taste

optional (but HIGHLY recommended): 1/2 tsp sesame oil (25 cal) (total recipe 125)

Instructions:

Whisk the egg and set aside. In a small pot, stir together broth, cornstarch, and ginger BEFORE TURNING ON THE HEAT! Make sure they are thoroughly combined. It will look cloudy, but that’s okay.

Bring the mixture to a light boil. While boiling, stir the mixture clockwise to form a whirlpool. Slowly poor the whisked egg into the swirling broth while continuing to stir. This is what makes the cool egg ribbons! Stir and let cook for around 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat and add sesame oil (if using), along with salt and pepper.
