Cooking With Christie: Quick Apple Cinnamon Buns

Inspiration: Thanks to my elementary school’s lunch lady, who loved adding way too many raisins for my liking and a brief stint in a supermarket bakery where I scooped the icing out of a five-gallon bucket with a gloved hand….My enjoyment of cinnamon rolls, in any iteration, declined significantly. However, as more years than I care to count have passed since either instance was relevant in my…

I ship them idc... But just imagine this.. hear, hear me out... (I know the character of Ferdinand in this case isn't psychiatrist or something like that but remember, this is kind of an alternative universe)

Due to the rain at the last moment, the direction of the shotgun deviated, hitting Nigel in the neck and part of the jaw, who is hospitalized after Álex, in a moment of empathy, called the ambulance. While spending a month in hospital Alex is questioned and Nigel's paternal uncles come to see him.

When Nigel manages to recover for the most part, he is prosecuted due to Alex's testimony, however he escapes a sentence and instead the judge admits him to the Bethlem psychiatric center for 16 months since his lawyer alleged a psychotic break and hints of schizophrenia due to his mother's constant abuse and his father's neglect. This treatment is due to the fact that in the psychiatric hospital they want to overcome his "mental" disorder and also the fact of his possible reintegration into society and university studies.

His doctor in charge is Robert H. Gadling, who is in charge of the boy's background check and verifying that his process is on the right track.

I do like Ariadne Oliver. Here she's talking with Hercule Poirot.

"She sort of rounded me up and pushed me onto a settee and then she began to talk to me, starting about a goddaughter of mine.”

“Ah yes. A goddaughter you are fond of?”

“I haven’t seen her for a good many years,” said Mrs. Oliver, “I can’t keep up with all of them, I mean. And then she asked me a most worrying question. She wanted me—oh dear, how very difficult it is for me to tell this—”

“No, it isn’t,” said Poirot kindly. “It is quite easy. Everyone tells everything to me sooner or later. I’m only a foreigner, you see, so it does not matter. It is easy because I am a foreigner.”

“Well, it is rather easy to say things to you,” said Mrs. Oliver. “You see, she asked me about the girl’s father and mother. She asked me whether her mother had killed her father or her father had killed her mother.”

“I beg your pardon,” said Poirot."

For once Poirot is startled. From Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie

Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie - Book Review

There’s a kernel of a good mystery here that would probably make for an enjoyable short story, but this penultimate Hercule Poirot adventure feels both padded out and frustratingly short on substance. Continue reading Untitled

Lesser known small mammals (or mammals whenever i bring up people have no idea what im talking about)

Quoll ..a carnivorous marsupial native to Australia that spends most of the day sleeping in its dens. there have been 111 recorded events of quolls eating human remains (x) (pictured here is a spotted-tail quoll)

Numbat..an insectivorous marsupial from Australia that is diurnal (or is primarily active during the day). unlike other mammals that primarily eat termites, they have a jaw with 50 very small teeth. they live in tree hollows and block the openings with the thick hide of their rump

Hyrax ..a small thickset herbivorous mammal that is more closely related to elephants and sea cows than pikas and marmots. theyre found in africa, and they have rubbery paw pads that help them climb up rocks (this is a rock hyrax)

Solenodon... a venomous, insectivorous little mammal that is easily provoked into a frenzy of squeaking and biting. it uses echolocation to compensate for its poor eyesight, and females have two teats almost located on its backside (above is a cuban solenodon)

Sengi (elephant shrews (or better known as the get a look at the snout species))...is another insectivore that is more closely related to elephants than true shrews. they live in southern Africa and have relatively large brains for their size (a respectable 11 inches) (this is a black and rufous sengi)

Tenrec..omnivorous little mammal that lives in land, sea, underground, and in trees. there are many different subspecies of tenrec that can look like hedgehogs, opossums, rats, and shrews (this is one is a lowland streaked tenrec from madagascar)

#i was going to include binturongs but compared to all the other guys its much larger #So i decided to just keep the list about small weird mammals #These of course arent all the small mammals out there.. just the ones i can remember offhand #mammalia #long post #quoll #spotted-tail quoll #marsupials #tenrec #streaked tenrec #elephant shrew #sengi #solenodon #cuban solenodon #hyrax #numbat #mammals #biology #zoology #animal facts

if they’d kept this scene in knives out

no one would’ve said that benoit “i ordered snail jelly moisturizer and it gave my sensitive skin a rash so now i’m suspicious of this company” blanc

was straight-coded/“not obviously gay enough”

i think rian johnson should reveal the bblanc skincare routine immediately

#knives out #glass onion #benoit blanc #daniel craig #joni thrombey #toni collette #rian johnson #i have a petition #what is babygirl blanc’s favorite skincare product #does phillip have to buy stuff for him because he doesn’t have a damn clue how to shop for his skin type #is he a beloved regular at sephora #does he always get drunk elephant bc it’s the only thing he remembers and he can afford it thanks to sugar daddy phillip’s money #i need to know

Sheoldred: (In her small crawling form) You and I are like loxodons, you know? We remember everything.

Jin-Gitaxias: (Stitched together after his fall into the vat) No no, my dear, we're Phyrexians; and mercifully, Phyrexians can forget.

“She ran away,” said Mrs. Oliver. “She ran away. You frightened her in some way.”

“Yes,” said Poirot, “I think you’ve judged quite right.”

“She wanted me to get things out of Celia, she wanted me to get some knowledge out of Celia, some expression, some sort of secret she suspected was there, but she doesn’t want a real proper investigation, does she?”

“I think not,” said Poirot. “That is interesting. Very interesting."

I finished the third elephant! It’s difficult to tell in this lighting, but this elephant is light blue

#sewing #handmade #plushie #elephant #elephant plushie #I’m thinking of calling her Lizbet. maybe Lizbeth? but I like Lizbet better #I also like Lilibet but idk if that’s too related to the queen as a name #I did remember to take photos so I can get the pattern typed up #I did not remember to time how long it took me to sew an elephant

you would think that the creepypasta fandom would be like, the worst fandom to be a part of (and maybe some parts of it are, im sure my experiences aren't universal) but for me it's actually been one of the best fandom experiences i've had. no for me the worst fandom i've ever been a part of was probably steven universe

#when snuffbomb was outed as the fucking freak that he is all of the other notable members in the community were like Fuck This Guy #and cut him out of everything (and it was done in a pretty professional way as far as i can remember. they weren't trying to stir up drama) #(just trying to keep ppl safe and not associate with horrible people) #with SU ​if you pointed out anything bad about the show or fandom you got 10000 people with flower crown icons telling you to kys #the SU fandom was like. god. the toxicity was enough to take down a full grown elephant #my posts
