It’s my sewing and I’ll bodge if I want to

I am *extremely* ready for daylight savings time (which in the UK starts tomorrow). TBH I was ready for it a week ago.
(Before any smartarse asks “Why do you care about clock time?”, the answer is that I have to interact with the world around me, and I would like there to be more than two hours between starting to eat dinner and going to bed.)
If any other UK people had been wondering how to download and print a poster to encourage others to vote Green in tomorrow’s local elections (or indeed at any other point), I finally managed to locate the right page on their website: https://greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/posters/
Got radishfluenced by @ultrazool@mastodon.scot and am now entering a #radishmaxxing phase.
I got confused about whether I’d planned to make savoury rice or vermicelli rice for dinner, and ended up making savoury vermicelli rice. It turned out fine!
The usual recipes are:
- Savoury rice: half jasmine, half basmati, add veg stock, parsley, dill, and a pinch of turmeric for colour, cook in rice cooker.
- Vermicelli rice: all basmati, add a handful of short vermicelli that’s been pre-fried in olive oil, cook in rice cooker.
The rest of dinner was beetroot yogurt made to a simplified version of Paula Wolfert’s recipe ( http://www.paula-wolfert.com/recipes/shred_beets.html ) using lactose-free yogurt, and mackerel in olive oil from a jar. V tasty.

@gwenbeads Ooh, this is neat. I wonder if it would also look good with step 5 omitted, i.e. with two curls instead of one. I was reading an article by Marcy Tilton in Threads issue 65 the other day where she talks about using striped jersey cut in strips, curled, and then sewn down the centre of the strip to look like double piping. I suppose the initial fold-to-outside would need to be narrower to avoid it showing underneath, which might make it all a bit structurally unstable.

@joost Wow, you did a huge amount of work to get this sorted out. Kudos to you and anyone else involved, and of course to Alen.
@ultrazool@mastodon.scot This thing is *delicious*.
@ultrazool@mastodon.scot Hope the uncertainty resolves soon.

@gwenbeads Thanks! I love the look of the double couched noodle — a shame it’s not sufficiently stable.
Replying to
@gwenbeads Ah, sorry for being unclear; I mean “not sufficiently stable as a neckline”. Frustrating that it’s unpredictable. Does it vary even with the same fabric, or might it be related to the weight and/or stretchiness of the fabric? And does it even vary on the same garment, i.e. sometimes the same garment neckline will curl when worn and sometimes it won’t?

@infobeautiful@vis.social It would be good to credit the museum when posting things like this. This seems to be an exhibit at the Haynes Motor Museum: https://www.facebook.com/HIMM.co.uk/videos/a-slice-of-the-a303-%EF%B8%8Fhave-you-ever-wondered-what-exists-beneath-the-road-you-dri/967806094875025/
