It’s the weekend for me, and I’d just love some suggestions. Movies? TV shows? Coffee? Holiday destinations? Software? Apps? Books? Something new to make for dinner? Websites?

It’s up to you, but I’d love some (hopefully) random suggestions from all of you to look into something new!

    Go to a Starbucks and ask if you can have an ice water. Don’t buy anything because f union busting.

    But they all give out the ice water for free, no purchase necessary - they won’t even look at you funny or anything - and I swear it’s absurdly delicious ice water. Great for a walk on a hot day. Try it and see. :)

    Ethiopian food! If you’re lucky enough to have nearby access, go support your local restaurant and get yourself a vegetarian platter. You will NOT regret it.

    If you don’t have access or are vegan, I’ve had good luck making it as well. Here are a few recipes to start:

    • Niter Kibbeh - this is the staple oil for many Ethiopian dishes. I use the same ingredients, but rather than go through all the toasting and steps, I just throw everything in the slow cooker on low for a few hours. Use this in recipes and drizzle a tiny bit over your finished dish just before serving.
    • Quick Injera - this is a serviceable approximation of the real deal with common household ingredients. If you haven’t had Ethiopian food before, this is basically a thin, lightly sour pancake, and your utensil you’ll scoop up your tasty stews with. It’s also the base (literally) of combination platters. I haven’t had the fortitude to order teff and try to make the real stuff yet. This recipe is nowhere near the taste, texture, or complexity of a proper injera, but it’s good enough that I’ve made it multiple times to help with cravings.
    • Kik Alicha - I love this recipe. It’s yellow split peas, which is one of my least favorite things in my pantry, and yet it ends up tasting incredible. I like how simple it is once you have the niter kibbeh as well. This recipe really shows off the niter kibbeh flavors. Don’t forget to drizzle some on just before serving.

    Start playing factorio. You’ll lose your weekend and the next week. Runs on most PCs.

    • The Expanse - best sci fi show in recent years
    • Techno parties/raves - find one that has Funktion One speakers, be transported to a different world by the sheer volume. Bring ear plugs.

    I just saw the movie Game Night, and immensely enjoyed it. A good non-raunchy comedy film. Phew it has been too long.

      Do you know any other non raunchy comedies? Something I enjoyed is Tucker and Dale Vs Evil

        ‘Palm Springs’ comes to mind I’ve heard good things about the new DnD movie

        Don’t have much recommendations, sorry. I’ll check out Tucker and Dale, thanks for the recommend

      For the record: the same writer/director duo also just did the Dungeons and Dragons movie which is similarly a very, very good time.

    Another tv show: The Bear. Haven’t finished the season yet but it’s quite refreshing in multiple ways.
