Ok for every like, he’ll get a forehead kiss. For every retweet, I’ll give him a treat. He got spooked today so…

Okay 2.5 days instead of 1, but it’s done and fully cataloged with LibraryThing so yay. 🥳

Okay I am back at the bookcase reorg. Let’s look at some things I have found, like this!

Fun fact, I am 95% sure I emailed asking to skip this because I hate eye and teeth things in horror - and yet it came to my house anyway. Oh god.

Thoughts and prayers for me as I embark on getting my overburdened bookcases organized and cataloged.

I don’t have kids, but sometimes when I enthusiastically dance around the house the dog looks really embarrassed for me so I FEEL like I know what it’s like.

Tis the season, and so I will reiterate that Little Brownie Bakery is the FAR superior #GirlScoutCookie bakery and it is not close. ‘Caramel Delights’ are hot garbage compared to Samoas, and they also make the superior thin mint.

Happy New Year now because I will be in bed by 11.

Check out the gams on the piece of cheesecake I married. 😍
Best. Gift. Ever.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is the day.

I got the peach and pumpkin pies done last night but the cake defeated me. My father and my bestie are both cake bakers that consistently produce stuff that belongs on Pinterest, but I do not have this skill.

The day before Thanksgiving! 🙃

This is actually peak Turkey Day insanity for me. If all goes well, by the end of today all the desserts will be done, rolls will be ready to bake, and anything casserole-esque will be ready to just go in the oven tomorrow, leaving basically just veg for day of.

Day 3 of #Thanksgiving prep. Today is veggie prep, pie and tart crusts, and some other sort of chopping tasks, many of which I have foisted off on the husband because I am an onion wuss.

We’re also caramelizing this vat of shallots in tons of butter for caramelized shallot mashed potatoes.

4 days until #Thanksgiving! Today’s prep is like 80% cleaning chores you very rightly have no interest in, but later I’ll strain off the #Turkey stock we started yesterday and cube the bread we baked for stuffing. I may start pie and tart crusts if I’m feeling ambitious.

It’s been years since I did a #Thanksgiving prep thread, but here we go!

5 Days out. We’re making bread for the stuffing and using a Japanese milk bread as the base. I read a Serious Eats comparison of breads and they’ve convinced me that soft and white is the way to go.

Sometimes while you’re hard at work at the biscuit factory, making biscuits, you succumb to a brief spiral of existential ennui… and then you just shrug it off and get back to work! #cats #catsofbluesky #mainecoon

I am 18 books behind schedule on my Goodreads annual challenge, but I think I can make it thanks to my newfound coping mechanism!

I vaguely remember a time when I did stuff like buy cute shoes for going out. Now, however, I apparently do stuff like buy a weighted plushie to take the edge off the slow but inevitable dissolution of society.
