Today's adventures in Korean home cooking involved making 단 무지 무침※ and a gochujang sauce, served with brown jasmine rice and some vegan nuggets:

CW: Itsy bitsy out-of-focus spider
There's the tiniest spider ever dangling from a web strand attached to the lamp next to the couch where I'm sitting. I grabbed my phone and macro lens, but this is the best shot I got out of probably 40 attempts, and even so it's more an abstract impression of spiderness rather than a clear shot. But here it is!

I accidentally bought caffeinated coffee beans; I normally only drink decaf. I've mixed it in a 1:4 ratio with the remains of a decaf bag and made a pot to see if I can get any use out of it. Pray for me.

I drove @Alien_Sunset@dice.camp to an appointment today, so I figured I would put on some minimalist makeup, which of course means it's selfie time!
I was also wearing a really cute plaid flannel skirt (not shown). I need to figure out some way to take decent outfit photos.

Tennessee collared ant (Aphaenogaster tennesseensis), from Thompson Park:
(There were a couple of trees crawling with these little cuties, but it was still hard to get a good picture, even with the macro lens. They were too busy to pose for me! I do have several other photos of bright orange ant butts attached to a motion blur, though.

It was a dress and makeup day*, so by my Official Trans Contract I'm obligated to post some selfies. I had a pair of earrings I was going to wear, too, but I couldn't manage to finagle them onto my ears before it was time for my appointment. But you can't see my ears here anyway, so maybe you can just imagine I'm wearing some cute earrings?
(*They can't all be no-makeup goblin mode days, after all.)

Today we had leftovers of the 김치 볶음밥※ I made the other day, and I made a fresh batch of 오이 무침※※ to go with it, this time with a significant upgrade: authentic 고추가루※※※! (The batch from the other day had used a combo of cayenne pepper and smoked paprika, since I hadn't yet acquired any 고추가루, but this has since been remedied.
)
(※Kimchi bokkuembap = kimchi fried rice)
(※※Oi muchim = spicy cucumber salad)
(※※※Gochugaru = Korean chili pepper flakes)

@callunavulgaris@mastodon.scot Thank you! I had contemplated half caf, but since I'm probably drinking the whole pot myself I figured quarter caf was the way to go...

Who needs foundation? I'm in love with NYX Marshmellow Smoothing Primer on its own.
Plus it smells good enough to eat.

Today's Hike (CW: Includes selfie with eye contact)
@Thomas_Llama@beige.party and I had a lovely hike at Thompson Park this morning.
(Selfie included because 1. I like the way the sun was hitting my hair and 2. I'm still doing my part to normalize unkempt no-makeup selfies. I hadn't even shaved for two days in this picture, not that you can really tell.)
