So muppety. So tired. Alleged adult. Disaster Muppet. Big nerd.

Cw: food for the entire account because I am stress baking like whoa for the next few years.

I just realized that my entire online presence can be summed up as screaming PLEASE FFS BE KIND into the void.
Today in #textMessageTheater, we are talking about John Harvey Kellogg, who created a boring cereal to cure mast*rbation

Friend: I think he's spinning [in his grave] because they added things like sugar & flavor decades ago 😁

Me: so WHY aren’t we harnessing that spin to generate green energy??

Dammit. Cheese recall. Looks like it’s primarily Romano.

Mad science baking question —

I was talking to a friend who complained about the missing depth of flavor in a butter free cake

Me: I wonder if a squirt of tomato paste would replace some of that missing umami

Friend: 🤣


But seriously, has anyone tried this? I feel like it would work.

#yearOfPudding pudding number 2.5

Why 2 and a half? Because it’s not reaaaallly new, just a little. Chocolate cookie pudding. A cross between my chocolate pudding that I already know rules and a sort of freezer cake.

Because sibling requested a cookie cake for her birthday, but >>>

Does anyone need something wholesome?

How about Mr Rogers meeting Koko the Gorilla.

This is… really really wholesome.

Ooooh. This looks like something to try
Before I announce #RecipeOfTheDay I want to thank you all for your birthday wishes yesterday. Sorry not to do so individually: I’m overwhelmed by your loveliness! As for today, I have some smokily beguiling (and #glutenfree) Triple Chocolate Buckwheat Cookies for you www.nigella.com/recipes/trip...

For those of you not yet familiar with the term procrastibaking, this is a prime example of the genre, and while I have certainly pioneered the practice, the brilliant coinage is one Aya Reina’s — I f...

I’m honestly trying to remember if I ever said this in college. Seems possible.

May everyone associated with CVS/Caremark experience the same symptoms as every person for whom they've denied medicine.

Nephew A asked me to read something and give feedback.

A: It's very rough draft! No need to edit, this will all change.
Me: I am putting in these commas for ME, because it hurts me that they're not there.
A, nodding: Self-care is important. Comma away.

Who me? Just the usual, about to ruin myself for a television show by putting a hold on the book from a library.

Watching a vid for creamy mashed potatoes.

Recipe guy: we’re weighing the potatoes so that everyone’s comes out the same

Me: ok

Recipe guy: now we’re using half the weight in butter *pokes at the butter*

Me: 😮
Me: HOLY FUCK
Me: I don’t think even I would do that
Me: …IN THIS ECONOMY?????

Speaking of hopepunk*. If anyone hasn’t read NK Jemisin’s novelette Emergency Skin, I cannot recommend it enough. I know, this is the same person who destroyed you emotionally with the Broken Earth trilogy, but this is wonderful and completely *not* devastating.

*this one might be solar-punk?
I think you’re after hopepunk. ;)
January 5, 2026 at 6:05 PM
Oh wow. I just noticed that one of the good place episodes is titled, “Help is Other People.” Which is super clever and so wonderfully solar punk. (Yes yes, I’m probably misusing the term, but the feeling is there.)

Me, watching a vid about Farscape: huh, I think they gave Crais the same hair cut as Javert from Les Mis

Me, a few min later: I mean, the dudes temperament sure has a lot in common with Javert

10 minutes later…

PSA: leftover purple sweet potato pudding is an excellent breakfast

(yes it’s 11:30 in my time zone. I got distracted.)

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me: HOW DARE. SCROOGE INVITED THE CRATCHETS OVER TO A TURKEY DINNER WHEN THE TURKEY HAS HAD ZERO CHANCE TO BE COOKED YET. YOU HAVE INVITED PIGGY OVER TO BE FREE LABOR FOR SEVERAL HOURS. SHAME ON YOU GONZO, BAD WRITER. NO BISCUIT.

#YearOfPudding

Pudding 2: purple sweet potato

much more successful than the last one! PRETTY COLOR IS PRETTY! I would tweak the amount of corn starch slightly next time, but totes worth eating.

🤔 methinks all those people who were looking forward to hearing about pudding yesterday are regretting it now. 🤣

Today in pudding: I tried to make pine needle pudding

Yes pine. BECAUSE IT IS SILLY, THATS WHY. and because I still really regret not majoring in mad science in college.

Honestly once upon a time I was plotting a pudding cookbook. I bet I still have the list of flavors around here someplace….

my group chat was discussing New Year’s resolutions and that THEY COULD BE FUN. And someone challenged us all to come up with fun resolutions.

Like a couple years ago, a friend of mine declared it the Year of Cheese. I don’t remember if it was about amount or variety but it was definitely fun. SO.

Meanwhile, in another window…

Me, randomly: I need a Squirrel Girl/TMNT Team up Movie

Sibling: Did you watch the Batman/TMNT team up? Bc that was fantastic

Me: WHUT

Me: NO I DONT THINK I DID. I WOULD REMEMBER THAT

Sibling: GO FIND IT

me: I WILL
