On another note, last year I purchased a few t-shirts from Organic Basics and so far they are holding up well. I would recommend some of their underwear too.

STEP ONE is, I think, a popular brand for bamboo underwear but I wouldn't actually recommend it. It's really comfortable but not hard wearing like you'd expect for the price you pay.

I definitely recommend visiting second-hand shops if you have the time. There is a lot of Shein, Zara, and similar shit, but if you sift through it you sometimes find well-made natural fibre clothing. I have found some really good, barely worn 100% cotton jeans and 100% wool jumpers there. There are also some more unique items - I got dinosaur dungarees once, also 100% cotton, can't stop wearing them. Every now and then you find something that needs minor repairs, but mending is a good skill to learn and reduces waste.

Hope this helps!

Looks like there are nodes and already one little root forming. It'll be fine!

It's pride pigeons 😍

Thanks a lot, I'll have a nosey!

I get that cozy craving too! It's nice to snuggle with a blanket and some tea next to you while you work on a project.

I made my first sock this winter (with circular needles) and nobody prepared me for the fact that I need to make a second sock to go with it 😄

It's one of those hobbies where you're left with something at the end. If you're intentional about your materials, you end up with an item that serves you for life, especially if you take care of it. I still wear a woolly jumper from my mother that is almost 30 years old!

You're right that good fibre is costly. It's a treat for yourself once in a while, but also quite rewarding at the end. I appreciate that you salvage the material or savour it as a gift instead of opting for the cheap plastic stuff!

Yeah!

I'll assume you're referring to firm tofu. I think it depends on how long you're cooking the curry for. I don't know how tofu would do when cooked for long, but hopefully someone here does.

Tofu is already cooked so maybe you can put it in a crock pot the last 10-20 mins? That way it'll heat up and still absorb the surrounding flavours.

As for complete proteins, soy in general is a complete protein, so tempeh and edamame should count.

If you look up the contents, you can also mix and match different veg in order to get a complete protein. Chillis, curries, and stews are perfect for this because you can add anything with a bunch of spices, simmer, and bam - delicious.

Also, silken tofu is incredibly versatile. You can blend it to get a creamy sauce or to make a chocolate mousse. Highly recommend.

I'm Bulgarian and this is a really fun Bulgarian tradition. You basically make a fuck ton of noise while wearing these super heavy costumes, to scare bad spirits away. They (as in, these "creatures") have many names and I think surrounding countries have their own versions of them. I know them as "kukeri"

Also, I can see that your plant is right next to a humidifier, and misting the leaves doesn't raise humidity as much as people think (it's negligible). I would refrain from letting water stay on the leaves, it might lead to fungal problems. In nature, there is a lot of wind and aeration going on, but not as much in our homes 🌪️

I keep vermiculite for more moisture-loving plants, as it releases water for a bit longer than perlite while still providing drainage. My African violet loves it.

Sand is amazing for just drainage and I always add it to cactus and succulent mixes.

Small pebbles (I like lava rocks) have been a must-have for me for a long time. I add them as a top layer for everything. Combined with bottom watering, fungus gnats don't stand a chance. They're also good for cacti and succulents that don't like to sit on top of wet soil for too long. I find them versatile because they can be used as a medium too, for example for succulents. A bonus is that they look real cute and you don't tend to see the mineral deposits from water (water where I live is rich in minerals).

Hope this helps!
