1. this
shrimp scampi with orzo. i tend to roughly double the recipe (my modifications to recipes are always rough, but tl;dr i used a whole pound of orzo and two pounds of shrimp and also i use a whole head of garlic (duh) and add MSG and red wine because we didn't have any white and chicken broth instead of water and more lemon zest and juice I AM THE KING OF FLAVORTOWN) and we get 6 meals out of it with a simple veg side (the original recipe says it's 4 servings and idk maybe if those 4 people are on ozempic).
2. the flavor and texture of the spring asparagus i air fried as a side. whenever i cook something good now i always think of
this guy's tiktoks where he tries some junk food combination (in the linked video chicken wings dipped in mashed potatoes accompanied by some mountain dew variation 🤢) and just as he's about to start eating he always says something like "is it bussin'? we finna find out" and then he eats it and in all the videos i've seen immediately confirms that it is indeed bussin' (sometimes 'so bussin') anyway spring asparagus is bussin'.
3. work friend sent me a security camera video of him taking his mom's dog out at night and slipping and falling off the front porch and i sent him back two edits, one (at his request) that played the grand theft auto "wasted" sound effect/title cared at the end and another that repeated the fall over and over again set to
da' dip, a song that i don't remember knowing when it came out but which is a reliable pick-me-up when i'm down.
