Tea, Time Travel and Cooking

I found some brill advice on Threads last night (thus proving that I did NOT waste the weekend cat, doom and otter scrolling):

Remember, if someone tells you that spending the entire day reading, drinking multiple cups of tea, and consuming an entire batch of scones is "not productive", they're not looking out for your well-being.

My only edit? Substitute hot chocolate or just hot water for the tea. I'm not a huge tea fan though lapsang souchong is absolutely divine.

Today I learned that Swindon, Thursday Next’s hometown in Southwest England (about 71 miles from Cardiff, the capital of Wales) is a real place. All this time, I thought it was fictional. Ya know, just like her. But NOOOOOO!

Not heard of fiction copper Thursday Next? Who is she?

Thursday Next is a literary detective who goes inside books from her futuristic time-travel world.  (source) 

WHAT is a literary detective? They deal with all literature-related crimes such as Jane Eyre’s disappearance. Generally, they make sure that books proceed in an orderly fashion.

Great Britain, circa 1985, when time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously: it’s a bibliophile’s dream. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontë's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. (source)

If Swindon is real does this mean that Thursday is real too? Do book cops actually exist? Can I really disappear into a poem or story? (If so, could it be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?) How about the ChronoGuard (who police all time related shit)—could I be a ChronoGuard?

Clearly I need to reread this series.

I spent a good bit of Caturday scrolling on Threads and came across a post from author, Daniella Mestyanek Young, who was raised in a religious cult (Children of God) She says the cult was:

…run by a man who believed that women should serve men. He called us ‘Bible women’ or ‘David’s Handmaids’ and we were essentially trained from birth to, quite literally, serve men with our lives, and our bodies.

Now, apart from the real fucked up horror of this, there are important bits that I NEED to know. They include:

What is the best way to serve men?

• BBQed and laid over a lightly sauced bed of quinoa?

• Roasted with grilled asparagus on the side?

• Diced and broiled before being added to a spicy tomato sauce? This can be poured over your favorite pasta.

• Slow cooked in a Crockpot with plenty of chopped veg and broth?

Dunno. I’m a vegetarian for starters and NOT a kitchen habitué. I'll leave the chef work to Ten and Oni.
