We took Ronan with us to check out Warroad not long ago! He enjoyed watching the birds outside the window of the place we rented--it was right on the river.

Whenever I see one of these, I imagine the Ben Affleck smoking meme playing in the head of all the historians I follow.

Pushing Daisies got two seasons, but it deserved much, much more.

Repost with a banger pic of your cat.

Yesterday's results! I use Bon Appetit's method of getting the dough out of the bowl (with forks and folding in) to keep my hands cleaner. I don't mind it looking a bit "rustic," so I don't bother with shaping, either: dutch oven does most of the work there.

Wow, I was semi-early! Kind of fun... I'll admit the image sharing was a good idea and gives you a "one of us!" kind of feeling.

U2's Achtung Baby for me, though runner-up would be Fashion Nugget by Cake. Hit singles aplenty on both, but every song on each is solid: just a pleasure to listen through both in their entirety.

Picked up this and War from a girl in my junior high orchestra for only a few bucks. It was a steal and is still one of my favorites of their albums.

Highly recommend the 8 ep. run of Lockwood and Co: Great adaptation of a YA series where ghosts awakened 50 years ago. The main trio of characters are strong and have a great supporting cast. World-building feels real as well, with criminals and the rich finding new ways to profit from the mayhem.

This Hobby Lobby commercial bugs me: part of the gift is doing dishes and folding laundry he should have been helping do all along, and they're celebrating him getting like $5 at most for some game controllers to decorate a Christmas tree. But hey, it's the holidays and his mom works hard! So yay!
