things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i've been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week

The world is insane. A friend of mine died of cancer. And I've had some kind of flu/cold for a week.

On the bright side, I finished my Becky Chambers' books, fixed the extruder on my 3D printer and made the last plum pie of the season. I so wish this was the kind of daily life all human beings enjoy.

I've never had a plum pie but my god I need that desperately.

I don't know what's worse: never having eaten plum pie, or knowing it's going to take a year to eat some again.

There are fancy recipes, but I cook as my grandma teached my mom: a rustic pie with shortcrust and plums.

The secret is to prevent the juice to soak the dough. So you slightly precook the shortcrust, and you put the half plums with the skin on the bottom (so the skin acts as a little cup for the juice).

When the pie is ready, you can sprinkle the pie with powdered sugar if you like.

Thanks for sharing! I hope I find the energy to try!
