Maybe my favorite book Ive read this year. Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social is so beautiful. Gorgeous food descriptions, a fascinating world to explore, and all in a fleet 160 pages. Definitely worth your time!

Happy with how dinner came out tonight. Lemon spaghetti with roasted artichokes. Super simple recipe from NYT Cooking.

A lovely afternoon for a baseball game! Woo Sox and Iron Pigs are both top tier minor league names.

This is one of the most clear-headed stadium funding articles I've read in a good while. It also includes an absolutely fantastic quote from JC Bradbury about economic impact statements.

Minutes after my daily email posted, the Astros traded for cousin Dylan*. Minutes! Sure, I wasn't writing minutes before it posted. But still. It feels like them one-upping me.

*not actually related to me.

I feel like having the Baseball Project in my top 5 for the year has to up my baseball writer cred.

So far, not cursed! Tried these apples. A Chestnut Crabapple, a Ribston Pippen, and a Kearsarge. They were all delicious

Oh hey, look at this. I'm doing a thing. Starting spooky season with a cool event at @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social. and I get to dive into Black River Orchard after!!

BRB gonna devour the new @scalzi.com book, Starter Villain. 10/10 on this cover too.
