Brooch Warfare, Story Time, and the occasional designer overview and so forth. Writer, knitter, trying-to-be artist. I run on art supplies and yarn.

#CRPS late stage. I had a support group I'd love to replicate.

Do no harm, take no shit.

Okay, shoot, we'll make this an official thread. #FashionWatch #PSA Our manners and running jokes around here, if we lose you somewhere.

This is going to take a bit, to dig up these images.

If I find it, I will try to do a recap of the Great Lesbian Space War (remember, the blues and the reds?)
WE HAVE PUT OFF THE GRAVY WARS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. Huzzah!

For the new folks, I got really sick at the end of 2022 (COVID complicating my CRPS), and since then hub and kid have been doing a lot of cooking and I can’t find anything.

Crumb cake! From one of those holiday cooking magazines (I love them) from HA, 2003. Fuck I’m old. #recipe #miscellany

To start, melt two cups of butter. I like doing it on the stove because it doesn’t explode over the interior of the microwave. You do you.

And we’re not doing the percentages until I’m awake. Let me get the crumb cake recipe.

COME ON.
Taking the radius of larger circle R as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs: r the inner radius and half of the tangent chord d/2, which are ⊥,

The length² of half-the-chord is found by seeing R² = r² + (d/2)²

The radius² of the new circle is (d/2)^2 = R²-r², A=𝝅(R²-r²) for both areas

Nor a gripe against you, but the archaic US measure meant systems

Anyway, AI can be very useful

And I'm sure it's absolutely lovely. Now, talking about breeder reactors, have you got a sourdough recipe?

The best pie I have ever baked in my entire life. From "Fat + Flour" by Nicole Rucker, passionfruit-tangerine chess pie.

I took a quick look, and this recipe talks about alternate butters.

AI said you may need to adjust the sugar if the butter you use is sweeter than peanut.

Hub quote of the day:

What the fuck is a pinch? It sure ain't a slap.

We are in rare form tonight, kid gonna beg for mercy any second.

Hub: And I'm fuckin' sober.

So am I, dude, so am I.

Oh FUCK, Gravy Wars resume in two weeks.

My MIL have an ongoing war of attrition and manipulation over whose recipes get used for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

One year I made two kinds of gravy, hers and mine, after she raised hell.

Then she ate mine. No one ate hers. Even the Kid has Opinions.

Well, that last nerve block quit working. Foot's gone up three sizes in the last hour.

@zenobiapaints.bsky.social Yo, did Letizia get Botox or a face lift or something? She looks like a wax statue of herself.

Queen Letizia in the Cartier Loop Tiara, which I don't think she's ever worn before.

In fact I'm not sure I knew the Spanish royal fam HAD this one, but it works a lot better than the dress. (Color fantastic, cut and fit horrible.) I think the necklace is an actual royal order and not bad jewelry.

The ones I've baked are the Paula Deen recipe.

She's horrid but the cookies are amazeballs. Easy to make, crisp & delicate.

1 egg
1 cup sugar (or equivalent amount sugar replacement)
1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

(so technically 4 ingredients)

In the US, standard grocery store butter is mostly sold in 1 pound boxes, divided into 4 sticks:

1 lb = 16 ounces or 2 cups

1 stick = 4 ounces or 1/2 cup

REALLY tempted to post the commercial baking recipe for cutout cookies. Flour is 100%. Everything else is a proportion of that. Scale it any way you want. Got two eggs? Work out from there.
