Today my husband and I went to the mall and lived to tell the tale. It was packed. Parking was a challenge. We weren't expecting that. It was worth it. We traded Christmas cash for an 8-quart Le Creuset oval dutch oven. If you want one, they're on sale right now for $299. The other sizes aren't.

DHS "recently announced the end of TPS for nearly 4,000 people from Myanmar, many of them persecuted Christians. Starting in January 2026, the US government will deport them back to a country run by a military junta that has been bombing churches and treats Christians as one of its domestic enemies"
US bombed Nigeria in what Trump says was an effort to protect Christians.
Violence in Nigeria is widespread, not anti-Christian specifically, and the US strikes won't accomplish anything lasting. But it appeals to his evangelical base even as he persecutes other Christians.

Prosecute them all. Beyond the depravity of this, it's pure theft. The local prosecutor should open an investigation and charge them all.

Ladies and gentlemen, I just spatchocked a chicken for the first time in my life--and I don't even own poultry shears.
I'm also roasting said chicken in a Le Creuset cast iron skillet instead of a roasting pan, which I've never tried before. It's a day of new adventures.

OK, it's Christmas in the kitchen. I just made a pitcher of homemade Irish cream (Smitten Kitchen) and now I move onto steamed cranberry orange pudding. This afternoon I'm roasting a whole chicken. I might spatchcock the chicken if I can figure out how. I don't own poultry shears.

My husband is all about safety. For Christmas, he gave me a rear vehicle sensor for my e-bike and a mobile phone holder for my bike as well. He also presented me with a dashcam and cell phone dock for my car. This is caring. This is love.

For some reason, Comcast Xfinity cannot manage to keep a bunch of channels intact on cable service in south Denver. These include Rocky Mountain PBS Create (248) and Paramount, among others. It's a system problem and for the egregious cost of that service, Comcast really should fix it.
