Made beef vegetable stew (with pasta stored separately). Filled six jars. Big thanks to #ChefBillyParisi for showing me pinçage, au sec, and beurre manié, leveled it up! 👩‍🍳

It’s beef stock season up in here, making enough to freeze for a few months and give to fam.

I didn’t realize how long it’d take tho and now I have to wait until 10pm to finish a beef vegetable stew I’m making. 🌝

Before and after wood staining the patio table. So satisfying.

We were playing fetch with a friendship bracelet and he lost it on my last throw. Where is it Cosmo??? 🤭

We just chillin. I worked, had a product demo, data eng. cert. study group, cleaned & cooked while he ate fresh catnip and napped. Fair enough.

My friend suggested this one-cup Moccamaster and that I set up a built-in bar area to be a coffee bar and that friend is now my bestie.

Greatest purchase of 2024 by far.

Step 1: roll in catnip
Step 2: wrestle with brother over catnip
Step 3: pause to lick catnip off of each other
Step 4: resume wrestling over catnip

I want this vanity setup and I want it now. #mariafilm #maria #mariacallas #vanity

Just engaging with things that make me happy #grilledcheese

Six years of no communication evaporated just like that. And with coffee and books to boot.

This is Dale. While I’m much more of a cat person, this wheezy potato of a dog has my heart. Got to watch him for the weekend while his fam took off for Nashville

Not me setting up a whole table for drinks and snacks because it’s the RIGHT THING TO DO. How did these 20-year-olds film two days with only water and crackers??

Good morning! Chicago SW suburb skies still looking a bit hazy from the Canadian fires so the cats will have limited patio hangs all day

I love my niece who cast me in her upcoming film, but her sense of living in the moment and not planning is clashing with my need to know when I can eat and wear sweatpants over the next two filming days.

I present to you my coping mechanism: an excessively clean & organized work desk.

Dagnamit! I forgot to include the screenshot. Well that REALLY tells you everything you need to know.
