Today I'm following @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and @diane.dianeduane.com 's excellent examples and will be baking bread.
And probably chocolate cake.

There are three:
King of the Wind
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
A Wrinkle In Time
I still re-read the latter two every few years.

What is "your" Newbery book? The one you read when you were little (or not so little), and took into your soul?

I mean, I suppose fun is one word for it, but yeah. This. The cognitive dissonance from *waves hands* All That is so fucking disconcerting.
The double cognitive load of a) the President is deranged, and nobody in power acting he's deranged is stressful, and b) there are millions of Americans who get their news from media sanewashing the President, so they don't *know* he's deranged, so they think *we're* deranged, is ... fun.

If you have not read the Rachel Peng books, you have SUCH a treat waiting!
It's (official) book release day! Come pick up INSIDE THREAT, the sixth Rachel Peng book! This book might be haunted, but in a way of my own making which doesn't transfer at ownership.

Let's talk comfort food, and the recipe I'm making tonight.
Recipe: Thing
Thing is glorified hamburger helper that s comes from when we couldn't afford to buy hamburger helper. It is cheesy, delicious, fairly easy to convert to vegetarian, and can be made cheaply if desired.

Breville Air Fryer/Toaster/Combo is great.

For me, electric kettle and rice cooker (though it should be called an oatmeal cooker, considering what grain I use it for most often). Honorable mention to the toaster oven.

Watching Culinary Class Wars, and I really have to shout out the production/tech crew for their excellent work.
The camera crew is exquisite; the sets are stunning, and the composer did such a fantastic job. Seriously amazing jobs, everyone.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

AT&T not currently covering themselves in glory in our current outage scenario.
We've gone from 11:00am to 3:00pm to...

Somewhere in there they sent a dude to my house to try and upsell me phone service on the pretense of saying when service would be restored. (A time they missed)
