1/2 I first read 1984 in high school. Orwell wrote about those who rise to power through control and force. He wrote about institutions that erode human rights. About the justification of violence and how repetition turns that violence into policy.

The full moon of Feb is called Snow Moon, due to the heavy snowfall of the month, but the Cherokee name for the moon is Hungry Moon, which speaks to February being a time when food can be hard to come by in the wild.

It's Cream Cheese Brownie day!
Chocolate brownies with cream cheese frosting is one of my favorites, and this is one of Mamaw’s recipes. Fun tidbit, There are rumors that cream cheese was invented by accident in the late 1880s.

1/3 According to a 2024 Society of Authors survey, a quarter of illustrators have already lost work due to generative AI. It can be expected that by the time an up to date survey is complete, that that percentage will have grown.

Happy National Pizza Day! Since I was a kid, Mom has stocked the freezer with her homemade pizza dough, which meant a fresh pizza was a bake away. The origin of pizza goes back to ancient Egyptians who cooked flatbread and topped it with oil and spices.

It's Homemade Soup Day, but I don’t need an excuse to cook up some cheesy broccoli soup with a dumpling hidden just beneath the cheese. Fun soup fact, The word “soup” comes from the French word soupe, which comes from the Vulgar Latin word suppa.
