Curry powder! I’ve never tried curry leaves or curry sauce, but those sound delicious too. Whichever way you add the curry, I highly recommend trying it!
I discovered that combo when I was living in Sweden where it’s a fairly common one that most pizza places offer. I believe the pizzas are usually called Bahamas, Afrikana or Tropicana and they always feature pineapple, banana and curry, and usually either ham, shrimp or peanuts.
Pineapple, banana and curry, optionally with peanuts. Now that’s a real pizza!
I’ve been on a similar coffee journey. I used to drink it nonstop throughout the day, like 5-6 cups of black coffee most days. Then one day I was physically assaulted and chased by a drugged out guy at a train station (never take transit in Denver, it’s a total fucking shitshow). I thought I was going to get stabbed or killed that day and I guess that event caused some trauma because I started getting panic attacks shortly after. I realized that my panic attacks were more frequent and lasted longer on the days that I drank more coffee, so I quickly cut all caffeine out of my life. Now I’ve been without caffeinated coffee for over a year and don’t miss it at all, although I still enjoy a decaf espresso most days.
Same thing happened with weed. I used to love weed and smoked/vaped it pretty frequently, but started getting panic attacks from it around the same time so I cut it almost entirely out of my life. Every few months I’ll buy a pack of pre-rolls to enjoy, but it literally takes me like five days to finish a single joint because I smoke one tiny puff at a time to avoid panic attacks.
Honestly though, even if I didn’t deal with panic attacks, I’m probably better off having no caffeine and only a tiny amount of weed.
But that would require getting up off my sofa and walking across the living room.
I was intrigued by your description but also thought I’d hate it. Gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised, he’s super talented and his music is totally unique.
I’ve been getting into tech house lately. It’s fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
Central air conditioning all summer long.
But before I had AC, on hot nights I’d put a cold damp rag on my feet to fall asleep easier and that really worked. I’d also put a box fan in one of my windows pointed outside, and I’d also open a window in another room so that outside air would be sucked in through my home.
I lived in a cheap studio in Boston that was infested with roaches. Every 3-4 months I would spray Raid where the walls met the floor and that always worked well until they gradually started appearing again.
I lived in another studio that got a bedbug infestation. My building’s management paid for the place to be heat treated – they wheeled in two giant space heaters and had them powered by a generator on a truck five stories below on the street. I never saw another one again, but it destroyed all my books.
Nowadays I’m way more picky about where I live and I haven’t had any pest issues in over a decade.
72 F / 22 C in winter and 68 F / 20 C in summer. We live in a LEED Platinum building and the electric bill for our 2-bedroom apartment never goes above $50, so we set it to whatever is most comfortable.
Mine has trekking poles! (Colorado)
I learned about this from a can of ///Fear.Movie.Lions beer from Stone Brewing:
What 3 words pinpoint where this indelible beast was born? The location is printed on the can. There’s a 3m x 3m square in our Richmond, VA brewery with these three words painted on it. What three words? Exactly! For the uninitiated, that’s What3Words.
Use them in salads!
I worked for a state government agency that had a bunch of Americorps volunteers working in our office and I became friends with most of them. They were in the office with us every day and they made $1000/month IIRC, and they were all on food stamps. Really dumb indeed to cut these people who do important work for a fraction of the cost of a salaried employee.
My Sensodyne purchased in the US is made in the US. And apparently they’re shutting down their UK factory and moving European production to Slovakia.
I alternate between fluoride toothpaste and a Japanese hydroxyapatite toothpaste called Apagard M-Plus. There are other brands of hydroxyapatite toothpaste made in Europe, like Biorepair (Italy) and Bioniq (Germany).
Nextdoor is a cesspool of all your very worst neighbors and I’ve never used FB Marketplace either. I’ve sold a few things in recent years on OfferUp and Craigslist. Although Craigslist always feels a bit sketchy because of no reviews/ratings, like you have no idea if the person you’re dealing with will be an ax murderer. And people are flaky on every platform.
I prefer to give things away and not deal with the hassle of selling them, unless it’s a big item like a TV or an air conditioner.

Same, I was a DDG user for years and switched to Qwant a month ago. Qwant results are a step up from DDG, and Qwant takes the same approach to privacy as DDG but it’s based in France so it wins in that regard as well. I’m in the US and Qwant still does a great job of providing localized results.
I worked at one of these places in the US, they absolutely do exist. It was a free “market” stocked daily with produce, meat and a huge assortment of food products and our “shoppers” pushed carts around our market and picked whatever they wanted off the shelves.
I agree with your main point though, shit is fucked and things aren’t getting better and our political system is broken beyond repair.
You add it before cooking! It actually doesn’t get mushy at all, and brings out the banana’s sweetness.
