TIL that the phrase “amuse-bouche” isn’t generally used in French, but rather “amuse-gueule”, gueule being the word for a wider, animal’s mouth, like a dog’s. So in French the term for small interesting appetizers is basically “maw amuser”.

We took the Kid back to the train themed diner where food is delivered by a model train. Currently refining my own train themed restaurant concept, which may involve tiny amuse-bouche delivered by HO scale trains.

And after some swearing and redrilling of holes that sure looked level enough the first time, we are now one step closer to the 1980s basement bar aesthetic we’ve been aiming for.

Well shit. Started the morning with seeing that I’d achieved a weight loss goal I’d set in an app fifteen years ago. I guess I told myself I’d get a tattoo now? Now I suppose I should set another goal I can maybe achieve in less than another fifteen years.

I am pleased to announce that we’ve successfully made it through both Thanksgiving and Christmas without our counter height dog rescuing us from any large hunks of meat. Maybe she’s getting better manners, or maybe we’re just avoiding leaving turkeys or hams within her reach.

It’s cool that Ebeneezer Scrooge decided to help the Cratchets out at the end of the story, giving Tiny Tim access to the best care 1840’s medicine had to offer. I’m guessing bloodlettings and laudanum, mostly.

As much as the Charmin bears are all about toilet paper, I don’t believe we ever see them actually wiping their butts. At the store I saw a package of flushable* wipes featuring a frog that isn’t afraid to give the people what they want.

When we lived about 3 miles from the lake I’d mark the winter solstice by greeting the sunrise there. Today Giant Dog and I welcomed the sun at the dog park. The sun rising over the tollway is less picturesque, but she appreciated the chance to romp. Happy solstice! The days get longer from here!

Legendary artist and part of the furry fandom for decades @tincrash.bsky.social has been recovering from serious health issues and since we live in a dystopia will shortly have to pay for the rehab he needs to recover and go home out of pocket. Any help would be amazing. ♥️ gofund.me/4083a67e8

So I’m being told this is the real life boxing equivalent of getting your ass handed to you by Glass Joe.

Whenever I see anything that’s supposed to be watermelon flavored that’s green, I wonder what part of the watermelon they think people eat.
(Exception: watermelon Jelly Belly beans, they’re dark green on the outside but red in the inside, so you can pretend you’re a giant.)

Oh nice! Someone made a film adaptation of the mystery novel Three Bags Full, which I guess wasn’t a sufficiently on-the-nose title for them. The book was fun, I’m looking forward to seeing this.

I found out @datahawk.bsky.social had never seen Trading Places so we started it. We watched about 25 minutes & she asked if there were going to be any likable characters in it. Well… Jamie Lee Curtis is cool and there will be character growth, but at this point it does seem to be Oops All Assholes.

Since we’re in both annual book wrap up and gift shopping time, I’ll shout out @alexkrokus.bsky.social’s Talking to my Father’s Ghost. It tells the story of the author’s grieving the death of his father through funny slice of life comics. I enjoyed and recommend it.
