The end of my marriage in a nutshell. From Woodworking by Emily St. James
Text reads "Erica had missed all of it. She _had_ worked so hard at performing the man she thought Constance wanted that she had forgotten to be Constance's husband. Or maybe she had never known how to be him to begin with."

Same, girlie. Same
Text reads "he fills his lungs, his entire chest inflating - like he just took his first breath since he began a deep dive. 'You didn't say please,' he finally says, then kicks forward again. Wha- 'Please!' 'Too late.' I'm going to shatter his bones and use them for toothpicks

Ah, yeah. There's that gay shit.
Text reads "Thinking of you?" Maylee leaned on the counter. "Hon, I ain't stopped since you got here." "Oh. Um." Viv's thoughts were obliterated as surely as if she's been brained with a cudgel.

Bah gawd, I love dry-humored narrators
Excerpt from The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer: "West, by God, Virginia?" "No, it's West! By Gawd! Virginia!" He put ludicrous emphasis on the _God_ in a mock West Virginian accent that was not flattering to West Virginians or any other people on planet Earth.

Putthemotherfuckinmoneyinmymotherfuckinhand
Meme image. A section of a painting portraying a Victorian-era man in a brown suit and matching hat pointing at his left palm with his right index finger. His facial expression is a mix of incredulity and disgust as if the person being addressed is too dense to understand he should be putting something in the first man's hand. Image is paired with a quote from Dochii's song Nissan Altima: "put the mother fuckin' money in my mother fuckin' hand" but spelled out a one word to emulate the speed of her delivery

That's about a thousand times better than last year's. Bechamel isn't quite as smooth as I wanted, but still damn good. Getting closer to perfecting this shit
A deep, stainless pan of baked macaroni and cheese. Surface is golden brown with dots of darker brown where the cheese has been broiled.

No, really, giant megacorp, your back of the box macaroni recipe is perfect. Creating my own through a mix of experimentation and crowd sourcing is intimidating. Yours is soooo much better.

So it begins (Yes, I know I'm a terrible photographer).
Reviving my late mother's cinnamon rolls, making them my own.
Naan dough, godawful amounts of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of smoked Chipotle. A bridge from past to future that tastes so damn good.
A rectangle baking pan full of fresh cinnamon rolls drowning in a vanilla powdered sugar glaze. There's an empty space in the top right corner of the pan. Perhaps a misshapen piece has been taken as tribute? For testing? The pan rests on a white stovetop, ready to be transferred to the fridge for later consumption.
