The mildly entertaining misadventures of my genuine self. Occasionally inappropriate, often not family friendly,
I started making refrigerator pickles during the pandemic. Last night I made my first batch of self-stable, water bath canned pickled vegetables. They need a few weeks to mellow (lots of vinegar), but I can't wait to see how they turned out and hope to not get botulism :D

I just learned about Daruma dolls, a traditional Japanese talisman of perseverance and good luck. I set a goal and color in one eye. The Daruma then watches silently as motivation. When the goal is achieved, I fill in the other eye, completing the Daruma's vision. White represents personal goals.

Made "Marry Me Chicken" stuffed spaghetti squash. Sounded great, but I definitely wouldn't have married anyone for it. Waste of good homemade sun-dried tomato pesto IMO. Good thing he already married me 🤣

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...the best Disney musical that wasn't a Disney musical. The best James Bond musical that wasn't a James Bond musical. Peak Dick Van Dyke, peak Sherman brothers. So good...

Bahaha, look what the Freedom Foundation sent me in the mail today. And what's this? They included a postage paid return envelope! I wonder how many heavy objects I can fit in there, along with my note telling them where they can shove their phony check for $900. #freedomfoundation #unionstrong

DIY dishwasher repair for the win! Replacing the faulty control board didn't take any special expertise, and I saved at least $250 by doing it myself. #diy #youcandoit

Can't believe I've lived in Parkrose Heights this many years and never been into Lily Market. It's amazing! Been here longer than I have!

Just got my copy of the AAA Road Atlas for 2024. I love paper maps!!! HOT TIP: If any paper maps actually go into production that say Gulf of America, snap them up!! They'll be valuable collectors items you can show your kids from this brief, unfortunate time American history.

Tonight's menu: butternut squash and black bean enchiladas with mole sauce from Gregory Gourdet's cookbook, avocado, elote, and Spanish style brown rice. Paired with non-alcoholic "margronis" (lime, agave, DHŌS Bittersweet, soda, salted rim).

December was particularly boozy. January's time for a fresh start. I'm now on Day 8 of Dry January, and I feel like I'm almost over the hump. The drink pictured here is my non-alcoholic version a whiskey sour: the Earl Grey Sour. It's made with chilled decaf Early Grey tea instead of whiskey.
