My favorite part of those "what is this thing?" posts is when a couple dozen people respond with the correct answer - complete with academic citations, then someone else chimes in with a totally off the wall guess.

I had eggs, cheese, and a YouTube tutorial. I don't own a proper souffle dish, but we made it work. So freakin' good.

I wonder if Mel Blanc's wife was constantly shouting from the other room, "What?! Did you say something? Are you talking to me?"

Finally getting around to mending holes in my cozy old quilt. Mainly because I wanted to sit in front of the fire under my cozy old quilt.

I need a British person to teach me how to make a proper cup of tea, because I’m pretty sure I’m doing it wrong.

4 - count 'em FOUR! - different contractors out at the old hobby farm today. I just overheard one of them say to his coworker, "ah, it's not as bad as I thought. This will be pretty easy" and I think I might happy cry.

Baby-cut carrots are a top ten grocery scam. They're just old carrots whittled down by a machine. They're weirdly wet, flavorless, and twice the cost of cutting up a whole carrot. Also... there's always at least one gnarly, white, dried-out one in the bag. Fight amongst yourselves 🥕

61 and sunny today. I ventured into the woods to gather birch bark - for crafts to be named later - and found entire universes of flora and fauna.

Cleaned the staircase. Went to dump the mop water outside & discovered a door squeak. Got the WD40 and fixed that. Noticed a missing trim piece on the bottom stair - need to find my tape measure. Remembered I last used it in my office. While I'm here, I might as well check email... Rinse. Repeat.

Just had a post blow up over on threads. It's about canned creamed corn 🤔 I've had a long career in marketing. Been on social from the beginning. It's still a mystery.

Thinking about this time a curmudgeonly guy I knew from hs posted about an annoyance he had. He really leaned into The Airing of Grievances. Several people weighed in with viable solutions to the problem. He edited his original post to say, "Listen, I don't want to workshop this."

has anyone ever intentionally bought creamed corn? I just unloaded my groceries and discovered four cans. Checked my pick-up order. It was 100% my error. I'm the problem.

The most grown-up thing I do is, when a stranger on the internet enrages me with their stupidity and needs to be educated, I pause and think, "nah, I'll let someone else get this one."

Cleaning out the barn is one of the many winter projects at our new old hobby farm. The previous owners hadn't kept animals for a few years and it's a bit of a time capsule.
