TLDR psst hey new wicked fun thing coming in hot

I don't think this is much of a hot take, but might be helpful if you struggle to do both at the same time, in whatever creative endeavor you're all up in right now. And also to secret handshake my fellow former Kitchen Confidential-era crewmates. I see you. Love that we made it this far.

Yes, this is a story about why I love a good design system so much. And why I like separating laying the foundation and being wildly creative into different shifts. They're different activities. Like writing a first draft and editing it. They need different parts of my brain.

I don't prep meals as much as I prep ingredients. Because I also can't be contained! Diced onions, chopped herbs, roasted veggies, whatever, can all be mixed and remixed to make what I feel like making that day. I think those restaurant days made me hate the idea of mixing the two activities in one.

I'm so allergic to making things from scratch at the time of the meal. (Breakfast, like the Mongols, is the exception.) I always want to have all my ingredients sorted, washed, chopped, and portioned out in advance. That way I can make lunch and dinner on busy days quickly, yes, but creatively, too.

My pleasure! :D

Yep! Just a simple linter. This was all way before the current AI craze.

Good heavens. Extreme hashtag goals.

Wait. This means you OWN one of these, doesn't it?

EXACTLY

Of course the absolute pro move would be to add something custom to the various fields — author, title, and borrower name in beautiful old fashioned librarian penmanship, and then one of those great wonky stamps for the due date.

I DO. And I just saw this pattern on Ravelry a few days ago, and thought I should really make that for somebody. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

yes, that's me!

Did you find what you were looking for?

This is the best.

I hope you LOVE IT
