I know it still looks pretty bad, but I assure you it's a HUGE improvement over the neglected bushy mess it was before. I took care of most weeds, pruned the tomato plants, straightened out the ones that were crooked to hell and gave them new supports. Took me probably like 3 hours

Hmm, I don't have an exact recipe, I usually free hand my meals. But I can roughly describe the process.

For seitan: I had made some veggie broth the other day and saved the cooked vegetables and mushrooms from it, which I blended into a mush, then added some random spices and herbs (basil, chili, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin), and a shitload of vital wheat gluten, then kneaded it until fairly solid. I then cooked the seitan in the broth for like half an hour. I saved the broth afterwards, I find it gets even richer after having seitan cooked in it. I cubed the seitan mass and put it aside. I only used half of the seitan I made because there was so much of it.

The goulash sauce was even more random, I just picked stuff I found around the kitchen that I found fitting. I took about two spoons of tahini, an ancho, a few garlic cloves, some tomato paste, miso paste, and again random spices and a little agave syrup. I blended it all with a little water, then started heating it in a pot. I chopped a white onion finely and threw it into the sauce, and let it simmer for a while, then added the seitan cubes and some frozen peas and carrots (from a cheap frozen mix I bought ages ago). I topped off with water, added a little soy sauce and vinegar to taste, let it simmer until it had a nice consistency.

That's pretty much it. Served with plain potatoes.

The sauce is random stuff I felt like eating, from anchos and white onions to carrots and peas, with different herbs and spices. It came out pretty great honestly

I have had quite okay experiences with making cashew mozzarella. I tried different recipes from different sites and they generally work about as well. Here is an example: https://www.noracooks.com/easy-stretchy-vegan-mozzarella-cheese/ But make sure to do it in advance, it needs to spend a few hours in the fridge or freezer before you put it on a pizza. I usually make it the day before and put it in the freezer, then just grate it when I need it. I also make bigger batches so I can use it for a long time.

I also put a lot of nooch (for taste) and a little turmeric (for color) in my cheese

The "minor prizes" like the one I got were checks to be cashed in, the perfect score girl prize was more like a grant though.

And yeah I too was surprised and while I was happy at the time (which kid wouldn't, right), it does feel weird now lol. My guess is that they fucked up their budget for the year and needed to burn the money for tax reasons?

For my graduation (non-American country btw), the top like 30 students in school got awards. I was at place 21 or 22 and got like the equivalent of $100. The girl who got #1 (and she had like perfect grades all around, with a shitload of extracurriculars etc) won some fancy language trip across Europe or some shit, said to be worth like $4000.

Prior to the graduation ceremony I had no idea they were even giving out prizes lol, best I ever got before that was a book

I baked bread, AGAIN (vegantheoryclub.org)
 

I usually follow a very similar "recipe". I dont measure anything exactly, but this has about 3 parts wheat flour to 1 part rye, sunflower seeds, some anise and fennel seeds, a little sugar and salt, yeast, about 60% hydration (give or take). Comes out great almost every time, and using the power of robots, I barely have to do anything

Black in CMYK is not strictly necessary, you can absolutely make black out of CMY, but the separate ink gets added since black is such a regular occurence it's simply cheaper to not mix it out of the other colors.

I live in a country where strip clubs don't really exist (I mean I've heard of like one existing, that's it) but when I was 18 or 19 a bar I frequented had an events night where they hired two strippers: a girl and a guy. I went out of curiosity and honestly I felt weird afterwards, standing in a crowd of horny men looking at a woman undressing, and everybody also theatrically showing disgust at the male stripper because "that's gay". Weird shit.

I have however been to burlesque and that's a cool show, horny but also artsy and fun.
