Welcome new followers! I am Abbaetha. I mostly follow historians, academics, authors and bookish types, crafters, and cooks. My feed is mostly breads, cakes, books, and crafts, which continues the theme. I like a quiet peaceful corner and that’s the goal of this account. No cat, but ferrets.
My kid just called out my hypercritical parent and told them to quit it.

Today's baking done. First is Spelt Linzer Cookies using a recipe from Central Milling. They'll be better tomorrow but so far pretty tasty. Then a pumpkin pie because I didn't get to make one for Thanksgiving. Funny that I'm just getting around to holiday baking now that the holidays are over.

Me: let’s eat a light lunch before [road trip].
Family: pshaw! We will be on the road long before lunch! We can eat on arrival in [2-3 hours].
Chaos ensues. People running around yelling, frenzied looking for things, arguments about cars …
Me: pretzels in the car it is, then!

I just had a mild tantrum about finding the very specific mug I like to use in my family home and yes, I maintain this is *absolutely* normal.

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
Tiny Tim sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
Tiny Tim sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,

I didn’t make the bûche myself (that was other members of the family) but I and older kid decorated. We are proud of the mouse. Almond paste decorations.

Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, stood by himself against the hills, holding darkness within; he had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On one of those rocks is Tiny Tim, who did NOT die—under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are his. I am haunted by waters.
I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith—as there's a drive into deep left field by Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4–0 ballgame.
