Awww man. Volunteered extra hours today in order to avoid any more bad/ upsetting/ disturbing news online. Here’s a lovely lab mix who was begging for attention. If I wear him out will he quiet down and get adopted? Also he looks good in pink.

If you’re not a great gardener then picking weeds for centerpieces is a good skill. This is Bugleweed. Also a sedative, soothes coughs, and is a treatment for hyperthyroidism

Pasta with asparagus & lemon. Recipe in comments. (called for bow tie pasta but oh well.) The rolls are Sea Salt &Herb Skillet Rolls from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Pie is the result of finding rhubarb in the garden and strawberries in the fridge.

He’s a long-haired disaster of a cat, named Stitch because he looks like child’s beginning sewing project. He catches any mouse that sneaks indoors. His sister Tuck is a tidy, glossy tuxedo. She can open most of the doors in the house.

Nice incentive to buy a Swedish EV… especially if you currently own a Tesla. 🤭

On Christmas Eve we usually have Indian food for some inexplicable reason. Samosas are the star & saag paneer a close second. Butter chicken and dal. Making paneer tonight. 🍽️

Toffee crunch before being broken up into a pile of delicious shards. I just kinda want to eat the whole thing.
My induction cooktop is really great for bringing the toffee concoction up to the right temperature, and then melting the chocolate for the top.

Cooper being a good boy. *After* he found a dead seal on the beach. He needed a good cleaning but I guess it was worth it to him.
