Money Days

Posted on by LittleFears

Brass Ep. 46

Glass shards and sculpted steel reached up out of the ground. Clawing upwards towards the sign for the financial district.

Broken screens ticked from within what remained of the buildings. Mannequins stood beneath the screens. Papers in hands, and endless cry for more money.

Iron spotted the sign for the stock market. She wondered if they sold chicken, beef or vegetable broths.

Soup is a staple for the frugal, like me. My soup is roughly 1 500 g bag of broth. 2.5 kettles of water. 4 chopped carrots. 4 chopped onions. 4 vegetable stock cubes and 4 tablespoons Bistro veg gravy. I freeze it in bowls and heat them in the microwave. It provides between 16-20 bowls.

I follow a lot of vegetarian food blogs, and sometimes, I do wish posts could be as short as that. I get that your mums, cousins, twice removed niece is coming for the holidays from the Bahamas. I understand she’s bringing her cat, Floofoo who’s hypoallergenic and once had the mumps. And I totally agree that the new DeviantArt eclipse is awesome.

But I don’t need sixteen paragraphs of it before you tell me a recipe for simple soda bread. For love of all that is good and natural, learn some conciseness people!

  1. I absolutely agree, and wholeheartedly concur that you have a valid point here. I may dare to hypothesise that you are more than a little dismayed at the verbosity of some of the many and varied bloggers that appear on not only this medium, but on the plethora, surfeit, superfluity, and, if I may say so, overabundance, of other means that are readily available to all and sundry. I believe I am blessed with a profundity in this matter, and am only too pleased to be able to answer.

    Yes!

  4. Yup, I feel you. It’s so annoying to go through paragraph after paragraph that paraphrases the beauty of the ingredients or the story behind each. I do appreciate the few food blogs that have a “Jump to the recipe” quick link on top, though.

  6. LOL loved it, even though I am, admittedly, one of those people that you ask a yes or no question and I’ll give you six bullet points for my reasoning before I either say yes or no. Thanks for showing me a better way mate.
