I wasn't planning on getting an air fryer, but I'm so glad I got one for my birthday this year. It turns out it has a dehydrate function. I'm currently making spiced orange slice ornaments.

This pie absolutely ruined me. I don't think I'll be able to go another holiday without it.

Southern Comfort Caramel Apple Pie (don't do the crumb top. Instead, make a double crust. You'll thank me.)

I'm digging out my ancient copy of 'A Wrinkle in Time' because this is what Stranger Things has done to my brain.

I make this pie every year - I love this pie. I pulled it out of the oven this morning and was met with what looked like a butthole... I baked a butthole pie. Sorry, all, my family didn't wait to dig in before I could get a pic of the "anomaly."

Hiding in my car. Listening to the soundtrack of my junior year.

This is my mom's cat, Georgie... an absolute unit. Behind Georgie's doughy soft facade is a doughy soft personality.

I'm so sorry. It's been nearly 3 years for us, and I still miss our Toby like crazy.

In the corner of our living room sits an old leather chair. It's brown, broken, and covered in cat scratches. It's my daughter's favorite spot to do homework. For the past month, she has been documenting the cats commitment to laying on her laptop, books, and notebooks. It's nonstop.

It’s heavy and deeply unsettling, at times almost unbearable. This should not be a reality.

Kept it simple tonight. Yogurt and spice marinated chicken, pan-fried potatoes, with tzatziki sauce and some homemade pickles from my brother.

Uborkasaláta and Túrós Csusza for dinner. Easy and quick.

Side note - these are not my photos. My food was not this pretty... but it was good.

Thanks to Powell's Books and their banned books display, I have a new read this week. I'm familiar with Vonnegut but never read his works. What am I in store for?

I started watching The Pitt yesterday morning. I finished the first season about an hour ago. I should have been doing chores, but I couldn't stop watching.

I'm a lil' late, but I'm going to start with a throwback for today's prompt - murky.

Thank you, Mark! We really need the well wishes. We're already finding Antifa balloon graffiti in our local bookstores... monsters.

I'm an Oregonian, so today called for comfort food. Csirkepaprikás, (chicken paprikash) just like mama makes. #Portland #Oregon #food
