My foot hurts and these two are playing nursemaid. Something about those eyes though...

This is an actual screenshot from the Dept. of State's official page.

Just. Sigh.

A cake I made this week that was immediately devoured...

A soft classic white cake filled with chocolate sprinkles and enveloped in an almond buttercream frosting accented with fresh dark cherries and yes, more chocolate sprinkles.

This cake is light like summer and pretty like winter and you can have a slice at Dingo Dog Brewing Co. tonight at 6:30pm.

It's been 16 years, Mom. As long as we are here, we promise you will be too.

Last night, I dreamed I had to keep eating chocolate cakes until I found the right one while ex-partners looked on, and so I figured it was time to get out of the kitchen and back outside to continue chicken coop prep.

This girlie is only 9 months old and looks like a totally innocent babe. As she drinks my coffee and my (NA) beers and plucks all the plants from any container of dirt within her reach (i.e. everything) I think she's really a chain smoking, gardening grandma stuck in a teenage dog's body. 🌱🚬☕🍺

The cake I made for Dingo Dog Brewing Company today! I went all early 80's and decorated it the way my mom did Easter cakes when my brother and I were little.

The bake is lemon cake infused with homemade lemon simple syrup, frosted with coconut buttercream. Sweeter than usual, but tis the season!

Not feeling it today. Wishing I could be a cat.

No sleep, dog diarrhea emergency at 6:00am, chemo cream on nose starting to do its job, cold weather again, week 4 of car in the shop, and 12 loaves of bread ahead of me with a later than preferred start time.

Gonna be a many cups of coffee and no human interaction/news consumption kind of day.

At a plant event yesterday, I heard the term "chaos gardening" used. The gardener said it was an excellent way to get started and to learn.

In my new space, planting things for the first time in a decade, with chaos surrounding everything we do, I've been practicing it without knowing. (cont'd)

I made sandwich loaves this week with Italian 00 flour, and they look simple but are so tender with a nicely firm crust. 💯 making more this week...🍞🧈

I'm stuck. Otherwise, he'll get upset and attack his tail. 😢

So many things and people suck right now in the worst ways, and I won't forget that or stop reminding everyone what we're up against.

But my life doesn't suck and my people are excellent and I'm enjoying that really hard right now. May it be the same for you and yours.

Some people's hobbies appear to involve destroying the whole world while mine involve using up all the butter in the house.

Practicing working with buttercream and trying to make pretty, joyful things to fill the world.

The look he gives me when I tell him that the greatest life challenge he faces is me being late with his breakfast...😾

The NYT's flashback quiz reminding us that WE have to make them enforce the LAWS. This shite hasn't been legal for a long time. It happens when we collectively allow it to happen, laws or not.
