This is what happens when you watch @drawfeeshow.com every night before bed.

Birthday.

Birthday feast! Gougeres with creme fraiche and smoked salmon, fondant potatoes, individual beef wellingtons, lemon garlic broccolini, and vanilla cake with coffee soak and mascarpone cream. Yes it's fancy, yes I cooked it all for my own birthday, yes I had a good time doing it!

Gochujang butter soba noodles with spinach, fried egg, and furikake. I think this is my new go-to lunch.

Happening now!

Caught up on Andor and saw these guys. I really want to know if this was done in post or if actual dogs had ET masks and wigs on.

Happy Pokemon Day to all who celebrate. Here's a pic of my tattoo when it was fresh in 2019. Before anyone comes at me and says "Jigglypuff isn't a fire type!" I'll tell you what I told the artist. The fire is metaphorical. And I stand by that.

Some days, writing feels like an exorcism, some days it feels like work. Today it feels like trying to navigate a minotaur maze flooded with molasses.

I'm switching between the two every hour for the next 24.

My sister's cat is the winner and only contestant of this year's costume contest. In unrelated news, he also hates when I bring over new crochet projects.
