I always have some of this on hand to have as breakfast, a quick snack or healthy dessert with yogurt. The seeds provide enough oil for the toasting so there is no need to add more fat, making it much healthier than most store bought muselis with added oil and sugar.
All of the articles from my 2019-2021 blog Readable by all (drwxr-xr-x.org) have been moved to this site, with one exception - the very first “About” post which was about how the new blog format should help me post more frequently, which obviously didn’t happen.
So, no updates for over two years.
I’ve been very unwell to the point I need assistance to do even basic household tasks like cleaning and preparing meals. Unfortunately I’ve already used the title “Rumours of my death have been slightly exaggerated” back in 2018, and it wasn’t even the last post I had to make on this topic.
While most of my life is a complete mess, I do have a few ideas about being able to actually get some more stuff I’ve done posted online.
Haven’t made any updates to this site or my “new” blog in over a year until I cleaned up and posted this biology article a few days ago. Even before then, I hadn’t made a post talking about my disabilities and past and how badly it affects my ability to get things done.
This post (originally on the new blog) will explain some of those issues, what I’ve been up to since last year, and what I might be able to do in the future.
In the first part of this series, I discussed taxonomic terminology such as clades and kingdoms, but didn’t go into the actual groups and the lifeforms within them. This article will provide a top-down phylogenetic overview of all lifeforms on Earth, as well as a discussion of how endosymbiosis has provided an alternate path for genetic material and evolution.
The third edition of my monthly pile of science links.
Leap day edition of my monthly science links (aka monthly cleaning out my bookmarks).
Volumetric measurements (using the volume of a container) are inferior to Gravimetric measurements (i.e. weight) in most ways. Weighing is faster (for a given pareto-optimal degree of accuracy), can achieve greater accuracy, and most importantly there will be less dishes to clean up afterwards.
Most irritatingly, “cups” and “spoons” mean different amounts in different countries. Even worse, sometimes three “thirds” of a cup are less than one cup…

10 minutes cooking time, that is, so to be honest it’s about 12-15 minutes total.
High in fibre (wholegrain burgul and veg)
High in protein (soya mince and wholegrains)
Relatively low in calories
Filling meaty taste, but no animal products
Each serve contains two 75g Australian “serves” of vegetables
Only uses non-perishable ingredients, so no need to plan ahead
Faster to make from scratch than to get takeaway
Only uses one pan/pot
An article in last month’s Science, “Cooked starchy rhizomes in Africa 170 thousand years ago”, provides some archaeological evidence of early humans cooking and eating tuber-like vegetables.
