i did this by loosely following this tutorial video. it's more of a work in progress cause my hands got tired but my plan is to keep making these until whittling squirrels comes easy to me.
for next time i want to make sure i follow the tutorial more closely cause i sort of watched it a few times then ran with it. i need to practice some cuts that i'm really struggling with to define the shapes more. also this poor squirrels tail turned out much too small, should be big and fluffy looking 
still new to english paper piecing but it's lots of fun! i think my stitching is ok but i feel like i'm still trying to find the balance of making sure i'm not packing in too many stitches or going too deep / shallow.
i got a jar of mint chutney to try for the first time and i really love it! i added it on a whim to this pasta and it turned out so good! what do you like to pair mint chutney with? 
seasoned the canned lentils with black pepper, salt, and ground coriander then added them to the drained rotini and mixed in three blocks of frozen spinach until they were all thawed.
just mixed the sauce in after that and it was done!
so today's mushroom and tofu siopao turned out soooo much better than the batch i made the other day. last time i think i made the mistake of letting the dough dry out so they were very difficult to work with but this time i left them in a plastic container so they stayed soft and malleable while i was filling each one. i was able to stuff them with so much more filling too! idk i'm pretty proud of these ones!!!! :D
it was my first time making these and i struggled a bit with the dough and stuffing technique but they turned out tasty so it was all worth it! my partner ate them growing up and they really liked it so i'm very happy!!! i have lots of leftover filling so we're gonna make more tomorrow but now time for rest.
i basically followed this video (cw: not vegan / meat) but had to substitute the yeast entirely with baking powder cause i didn't have any on hand. i also made the dipping sauce from this video as well!
this has been our lunch for the past few days but it's all gone now. i already want to make more! i think this is my favorite sandwich and it's so easy to make too! 😋
just made this with my partner for lunch and it was so good. i'm not the best at stir frying yet but i'm quite happy with how this turned out! 😋
then i stir fried the onion and red pepper, added the cooked soya chunks back in then added the sauce and cornstarch slurry. the sauce had some oyster mushroom sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, sesame oil, siracha, apple-based vegan honey, and water. once the sauce coated everything nice and thick it was ready to be served with some rice!
Would any students or even teachers/profs be willing to give me feedback on my (very) short essay?
It's an essay about how Bisclavret: The Werewolf (a medieval story) is a queer allegory about coping with human nature being different than what is described in Adam and Eve (i.e cis heteronormative monogamy) which was and is the dominant Christian view of human nature.
Most of the essays on Google/DuckDuckGo that come up when you look up "Bisclavret" are queer essays, including an essay published by the foundation of original author, but my prof told me:
you didn't even talk about the major point of the story which is that Bisclavret is a werewolf
I don't know why you think the king and Bisclavret are engaged in a sexual relationship
the connections to homosexuality are tenuous at best
I just want to know if he's docking my marks based on his personal bias or if I'm genuinely not meeting the rubric. I'm second guessing myself and I'm worried I'm overreacting, I'm very sure that I met the rubric requirements but I feel like he just doesn't like my analysis or wants to shut it down because it was using a queer lens (white presumably religious cis het male prof from a religious university/college). I’m afraid if I dispute it he will retaliate and grade me even worse but I also feel very discouraged so if I'm not overreacting I want to dispute it.
I can send an anonymized link to a scrubbed essay and the professor’s feedback through DM if anyone wants to help 
doing a class introduction questionnaire and im coming up blank 
i've never really been to one before to be honest. i'm gonna mask up and dress plainly and all that. i still don't know what to expect or if there's any social protocols to be aware of while going to these. i'm autistic and very nervous please advise
