update log: ranting about ketchup and turkish mayo (please read, i want to know your thoughts on my ketchup theory), as well as some ruminations about my cousin's bad diet, as well as my own rapidly deteriorating quality of food consumption

also, unrelated, but everyone and their mother is going to watch the odyssey, which is good for them, but it's been two years since i went to the cinema, and over six years since i went to the cinema willingly, so i'm hella jealous and i'm seriously itching to get back home to watch it

Okay I deff love ketchup and express the "yearning" for ketchup specifically. Tho over the years I kinda got used to using tomato sauce like from a jar, as well as making my own one when I can, so the standard condiment ketchup can feel weird to me if i haven't had it for a long time. It's actually sugary when you get used to eating "tomato sauce" (tho I call both ketchup for whatever reason)

i get u on the mayo part where it feels like a cold s o m e t h i n g i think that's usually when it's gotten a bit diluted among the other sandwich parts? When u make some at home it definitely tastes and smells like eggs either way. Sorry for the mini rant I'm very passionate about food (hence my prediabetes XD)

i specifically go for ketchup with higher % of tomato puree (the one i have has 82%) which i guess might be a diff dealio too compared to Usual Ketchup... i usually dont get straightup tomato sauce due to Ketchup's Way Longer Shelf Life and the fact i wouldnt even have tomato sauce all too often. but i see ur possible point re ketchup theory... cant comment on turkish mayo cos never have had any

I've always wondered if ketchup in other parts of the world is any better, because my entire adult life I have been Executive Director of the Lobby Against American Ketchup [read: corn syrup slop]. Now I'm far more curious about "Turkish Mayo"....

@viasinistra i've actually never tried consuming tomato sauce instead... i'm beginning to think i just don't like tomatoes actually, and the only way i can consume them is through the sugary solvent of ketchup. I've never tried homemade mayo, but i think my main... worry, i suppose, is that it'll be too egg-y, if that's a thing. there's something about mayo that tastes the way banks smell...

@sneekrealm honestly, that sounds like 82% tomato puree sounds like a great idea... the ketchup that i have is pre-processed and pre-packaged to something with zero resemblance to tomatoes

ME TOO https://file.garden/aWwgMyugQFoPdmIH/misc/ok.jpg -- i've been considering moving to are.na, but you're limited to 200 saves unless you get a subscription. makes sense though considering they're completely ad free and not as mass-market driven

Trying out a new format because it feels like every time I open my laptop, I get whisked into another universe and writing in a notebook is the only way to avoid get bothered about it. Also neocities doesn’t actually work in the country I’m in now, so I can only access it via a VPN, yay! So looks like we’re analogue until I figure out how to use a vpn on a chromebook… let me know if my handwriting is legible enough!

I can't comment much on sports but I didn't have a problem reading your handwriting. I wonder if you could forward a request to the development team to make clicking the images open them in a new tab...
