Hey there! Welcome to my profile. Expect mostly nonsense and sometimes boba tea pictures. Plus I write stuff!
I made some sticky ginger bars (recipe from Justine Dorion)! Check out the process and all that good stuff on the blog :)

Just talked to a very nice girl on the phone and I said “thanks have a nice day” and she hit me with “have a great week”
A great WEEK?! She out-pleasantried me!! Never before seen. Clearly extraordinary customer service.

Made with love! And brown butter. Which is honestly better than love.
Nearly everything is terrible but @athenascalzi.com has made cookies and they are terrific, so that's one good thing in my day at least.

One thing I forgot to mention in my post about moving and the house, is that I’m already very sick and tired of people seeing the house (like plumbers etc.) and saying that I should fill it with children. Because that’s all a woman homeowner is good for, right?

I donate to Wikipedia every year because I believe in free accessible information for everyone, but GODDAMN do they email me like a forlorn ex who just wants to make it work

I hate to be such a nit picky bitch (jk I love it) but it irks me when people say “powderpuff girls” instead of “powerpuff.” I know you’re thinking well how often does someone even bring up or mention that cartoon? A lot apparently! Because three times this week someone has said powderpuff instead!!

I’m an iced latte kinda bitch but I got a hot coffee for once in my life because it’s so cold and windy out, and it was so amazing and cozy.. for about ten minutes. Now my coffee is cold and unpleasant. At least when iced coffee gets to room temperature it’s still palatable, this is just gross now 😭

If you’ve ever wondered what 20 trash bags worth of Squishmallows (and a handful of non Squishmallow plushies) looks like, here you go! I still have about five more bags to rip open and add to the pile.

Scalzi™️ runs on dry cereal and Coke Zero. This is even more energy efficient than his previous solar powered functions, which didn’t pan out because he doesn’t go outside.
Well, yes, that's the problem. It wouldn't be helping, it would just be making more work for me because I would have to clean up its prose. I want to write my own stuff, not edit what an LLM puts out. Plus I am more energy efficient.
I anticipate that if you asked an AI to help you write anything, the quality would be LESS than if you just did it yourself.

None pizza with left beef
That point ONLY arrives when you've done away with the cheese, pasata, AND the flatbread.

A dog ran into the yard! Charlie and the dog played and ran around for a while! The dog ran away! It started to rain! Charlie and I went inside! A busy day! Naps for everyone!

Big day for the Scalzi clan: Athena is officially moving out and moving into a house of her own. The closing was today; she's in possession of the keys and transferred over the utilities. Here's to the next stage in her life.

My favorite thing about being in San Fran is paying 9 dollars for one of the worst lattes I’ve ever had ☺️🤭🤩

I had 380 tabs open on my phone. My phone crashed out of nowhere and didn’t turn back on for like ten minutes. When it did, my tabs were gone. Rest In Peace everything I planned to buy over the past three years and didn’t get around to.
