Had an extravagant dinner at Senia in Honolulu because honeymoon. It involved fresh black truffle and fancy Hawaiian venison and this nice gin drink called a 007.

Unlike most fine dining, I’m stuffed - we didn’t even get dessert, although the yuzu tart looked very tempting.

We have two berried shrimps! This one’s a blue velvet and the other is a green jade, we have a “skittles” tank so the offspring could be any kind of shrimp mudbloods. There’s gonna be soooo many shrimplings!

Yeah, it can give an italic effect depending on your handwriting.

Yeah? Well, there’s a retat for that.

While everyone else is getting riled up about bad takes, I mended my jeans with sashiko and I think it turned out pretty well (the white marks are tailor’s chalk).

Yep.

This poor little puppy just CANNOT today. Her paws got cold and snow-balled *while pooping* so she lifted a front paw to lick it and fell over in the snow bank mid-poop.

Boba is doing a fine impression of depression after the trauma of dealing with -15F windchills and snow deeper than her body.

They do not like the current weather.

Oh she has a cute puffy sherpa fleece sweater but it’s not enough, the real problem is her tiny feetsies!

Yesterday was a “snow day” and I won it by 1) completely setting up a Canvas course (from a copy but still) a whole 2 weeks before the semester starts, and 2) making a Black Forest gâteau to satisfy my fiancée’s craving for fancy cake. Did a better job with it than last time, which is pleasing.

Decided to try a clothing no-buy year, relying instead on make-mend-thrift for wardrobe needs.

Started by mending a pair of jeans that was wearing through. If I could get robust jeans that fit as well, I’d pay 3x the price w/ no hesitation. I’m tired of disposable clothes that aren’t worth mending.

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2024?

Readers, she said yes!

OK so it was a couple weeks ago. But still a big deal!

And yes, I got us silicone engagement rings. There was no way I was buying fine jewelry without her full participation.

Can’t work, puppy is lap-napping.

I mean.

Merry Christmas y’all!

Just wanted to brag about the cute Irish-cream-spiked latte that I was handed this morning. That is all.

Using only a restaurant, tell us where you went to college.

Had a lovely “Friendsmas” dinner with chosen fam and it is wonderful to have such people in our lives.

The spinach-artichoke dip braided bread is a thing of beauty!

Finally finished off a knitting project made with yarn that I bought in Brookline MA during CHI 2009. The cotton-linen yarn needed to turn into warm weather wear but yardage was super low, so I couldn’t find a pattern for ages until…

…lo and behold, Look At My Holes! Yeah that’s the pattern name.
