the heating’s good in our new place at least but hopefully it won’t cost us an arm and a leg with the expected rise in prices this oct 😬
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
i brought over some thermals that i used for travel, but these might not fit me in the coming months. i want to buy a few before we actually hit winter but i don’t know about these amazon brands - unlike uniqlo’s heattech that i’ve tried and can vouch for. (but heattech’s expensive year-round 
)

on another note, joining these facebook groups where people sell second hand stuff or even give out stuff for free is turning out to be worthwhile bc i caught a castmate posting about a knife set that needs to go and so we’re getting it!!
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
my fam’s laughing at me bc i’ve never been so excited to get a knife set

i couldn’t be bothered with the kitchen back in the 🇵🇭 to the point that my father said so during his speech at our wedding, but here i’m turning out to be some kind of a chef so it’s hilarious
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
and every time i call home i now tease dad “hey i cooked (insert complex filipino dish here) this week, how are your boiled eggs” bc when he has to cook he only does boiled eggs and does so begrudgingly 
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
speaking of filipino dishes my brother sent me this meme yesterday 
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
basically match the dish name with the photo and these four dishes are like close variations of each other i don’t even really know the difference except that kaldereta has liver spread bc i looked it up so i could try cooking it here lol

this also made me miss the red hotdogs we have back home
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
and hungarian sausage (oh no here we go again)
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
bro assured me they still have libby’s there though and that he’ll bring me some next year

tamzin.
i have one of those blanket hoodie things in my office at work bc they keep the ac so low that i freeze otherwise. they're great.

I literally keep a fuzzy blanket in my desk at work for when I get cold lol
𝔉𝔦𝔯𝔢𝔟𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔡
blankets at work are important. we gave blankets to all our PhD students as their Holiday gift one year because the building is known to get stupid cold in the winter. lol
𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖋 𝖒𝖊 𝖆𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖊;🍁
i also keep a sweater and a fleece lined jacket in my office. and fuzzy slippers. and a tiny space heater.
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
i'm specifically thinking this kind of blanket hoodie, lol! 
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
so cozy you guys

it's like a fuzzy Snuggie!

oh no that meme......I def don't know the difference HAHAHA
Eʏʏʏᴍᴏɴᴅ Osᴡᴇʟʟ
my parents don't cook kaldareta all that often
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
Eʏʏʏᴍᴏɴᴅ Osᴡᴇʟʟ
me either! i mean i could look it up but they’re all tomato-based really so whatever ingredients i have gets tossed in with the meat and that’s it idc what it’s called kaldereta’s kind of hard since og kaldereta uses goat meat, which is hard to source, or beef as an alternative, but that takes time to tenderize

though chicken or pork kaldereta’s fine. but goat really makes a difference hahaha
Eʏʏʏᴍᴏɴᴅ Osᴡᴇʟʟ
yeah, when my mom makes it it's with beef, I don't think I've ever had goat

(Also Uniqlo heat tech does occasionally go on sale, we managed to stock up at some point!)
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
Eʏʏʏᴍᴏɴᴅ Osᴡᴇʟʟ
so my brother just sent me this hahaha 
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
it's basically a knorr ad but also relevant to that food meme lol!
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
goblin wife
opinions and life hacks are appreciated haha

(and thank you! i'll be on the lookout but it's already the season for it, it might not be on sale anytime soon lol)

LAYERS AND WOOL. Polyester clothes don't do as well with temperamental weather.

anything wool or does it have to be like, merino? (i’ve been told merino’s good, but it’s pricey)
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
Eʏʏʏᴍᴏɴᴅ Osᴡᴇʟʟ
that needs to go into one of the things i write someday
goblin wife
Wools have different feels / quality, and I generally find that it's up to personal preference when people say which one is best. They all have the same property of holding heat while making you sweat less than artificial fabrics. So it's comfortable in a larger range of temperatures.
goblin wife
We also found, since we started wearing wool, that it needs washing less often. And as long as you cold wash it, it looks new for years.
goblin wife
Don't get me wrong, merino is good, but there are other wools that are just as good.
ᴋᴀᴢɪᴇ
goblin wife
i was hoping there would be other options, haha. ty! my sweaters are wool and some shirts, but not my inside the house wear, so i’ve been layering.
goblin wife
I've been successively replacing stuff over the last few years, not nearly done! Wool can be soooo expensive 
. I started doing it for durability, and then discovered it's also better for comfort.
