I'm a Swiss Army Unicorn and a born-again misanthrope. I do all my own stunts.
Dinner rolls and stuffing biscuits!

I KNOW that at some point, I have said about the Orange Menace, "He'd blow you for a dollar."

I was half-joking. It sounded preposterous! However, if the tale is true, I guess I was right.

It was a great show. I'm glad I left the house tonight!

Brown butter M&M cookie bars. Besides regular and mini M&Ms, I added semi-sweet chips, white chips, and sprinkles. My BFF said that it's because I'm "extra". 🤣
So what if I am!

I saved the day for one of our customers today, go me!

Also, we had a minor field trip. This is the only picture I took.

I made a focaccia with marinated tomatoes and dipping oil to bring to work tomorrow.

Last night was a blast!
Although, due to the most thorough tiny purse search in my life (seriously, she took EVERYTHING out!), I pretty much missed Lene Lovich. 🤬
What should have taken a minute was a long, drawn-out ordeal.

Now's the time of year when I feel the need to post this...

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Hm. My favorite band and I couldn't decide...

Here is the finished result. My vanilla chiffon was impossibly high, and I may have thickened my ganache a little too much, but it was delicious.

I think that I have been eating salads for lunch all summer. After this one, I'm tapping out. No mas...

Sun's out, bun's out. 🐰

I wonder if it's the same one hanging around my car this morning as I left the house...

My iced cold brew with white chocolate mocha creamer and cold foam is smiling at me...

It's a smoothie. A peach smoothie.

With vodka.

I mean...

(OK, I look more like Peter Griffin's butch sister here, but it's not bad for last-minute. I opted out of the chin contour because I deemed it too controversial for work.)

There's a Drunken Clam pop-up near work!
I may need to visit.

I just saw a woman walk by me in a dress I almost bought this weekend.
It's a good shape, fit me perfectly, it had pockets! Why didn't I buy it?
It was poorly constructed. The horizontal lines of the pattern were not lining up. It looked sloppy.

This is mine. I've had it for nearly 10 years now, constantly amazed that I haven't killed it.

It's that time of year!
I made my grandmother's magical salad dressing.
My alterations this batch:
-Drop the sugar from 1/3 cup to 1/4 cup.
-Use a jalapeño ketchup.
-Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
-Use a blend of vegetable oil and olive oil.

And, actually, for the memorial/birthday party, I made an assortment of masks for "Kelly's mermaids".
June 21, 2025 at 4:27 AM
I had one box of Melon Fusion left after Kelly passed, so I made good on my threat.

I brought Midori Sour jello shots to her memorial/birthday party.

Story time!
During lockdown, Kelly asked for assistance with her errands. She had cancer and was, for the most part, housebound. Since work was on hold, I decided that, yes, I could be there for her. I was happy to help!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

Mansfield in October, though? Not loving that.
