#unsolicitednoods anyone?

Today's bowl of tasty features the usual culprits: kelp, kale, #Scallions, an egg and #sardines.

Went out into the yard to pick the #kale, which was mostly frozen (pnw winter troubles) but it thawed right out on the cutting board […]

@TheCrossCulturalNerd

So I've gotta ask - you've played a fair bit of Tales of the Shire by now... what do you think of the game?

I was super excited for it, but turned off by the bad reviews it got around launch. It is fun? What's the replay value like? Do you still laugh/enjoy it after 6+ hours?

Saw these in the grocery store today for the first time. ...why is 2025 the year of #shaq gummy candies? What even is this?! I almost bought them in tribute to their nonsense alone.

Nothing against #shaquilleoneal, I just don't get why this is happening now […]

All national cuisines are myths:

The “Italian” cuisine that conquered the world was not the one Italians carried with them when they emigrated. They had no such cuisine to carry. Those who left Italy […]

[My cat is deeply strange]

Happy #caturday from Gobbo.

We keep Dubia roaches in a little box for our lizard; they like egg crates. #goblinthecat LOVES the smell of those egg crates. He tries to crawl into the bug box and often knocks it over. Sometimes we […]

I cross this small creek on my lunch walks, but I don't think I've ever seen it quite this active. About a foot higher than normal (usually it's a slow 6-inch brook) and looking VERY lively.

[... melting fungi? Dunno, a CW seemed appropriate.]

Four #fungi from yesterday's walk.

The orange one was WILD. I'm not sure if it was dying or fruiting or what, but it appeared to be melting into orange slime. Super neat.

Gobbo is always down for scritches, even if he never totally relaxes for them.

Living room and bedroom correspondents report a sudden increase in "nose booping" a terrifying new phenomenon wherein the small triangle nose of a kitty (that "looks like a rubber button" according to *untrusted*` sources) is booped by the horrible tentacle-like finger […]

I don't frequent a lot of burger places, but a couple weeks ago my wife and I went to 5 Guys (American Burger chain) and also Dicks (local Seattle chain) in order to compare their burgers, fries, and value.

It was an amusing evening activity; our general […]

My kid is imagining future co-evolutionary branches or ants and the pangolins that chase them into the water. I thought you might enjoy the sketches.

Happy Turkeyday, Internet.

Love your people. Broaden your definitions. Lend a hand.

Drink in good spirits, in good company, and in moderation, or not at all.

Be thankful for the humans, and for the freedoms, that you enjoy. Too often such things aren't appreciated until they're gone […]

Met a birb on my walk today.

Tried to get a better shot, but the little dude wasn't having any of it and relocated every time the weird hooman came within ~50 feet or so.

Truly the holiday mural we deserve in 2025, even if it isn't the one anyone wants.
