My workspace today is only mildly creepy.

This feels like the perfect meal for a cold, blustery day: spicy Italian sausage, roasted cabbage steaks, sweet potatoes, and green beans with almonds. We are trying to eat more, and varied, veggies. Also learning that cooking like my grandmothers did is key.

It's the time of year where my main source of serotonin is homemade bread and melted cheese.

Potato leek is the soup of the day and this recipe is wonderful. I really like the thyme and lemon in it. The bread is still in the oven but I couldn't resist the first bowl of soup!

Dinner looks and smells so good tonight. Jerk chicken, rice & peas, and roasted sweet potato coins. Yum!

On this World Prematurity Day, I'm grateful for @drjengunter.bsky.social, whose book about her own journey as a prem parent was my constant companion and guide during the first weeks after my son was born at 25+3. It felt like someone understood what I was facing and was calmly leading the way. 💜

Happy World Prematurity Day from the tiniest baby who, at age 12, is now taller than his mama and calls her Bruh.

This morning, kiddo spotted two bald eagles perched way up in the trees along the hwy as we drove. He has his grandpa's gift for seeing everything — which is a miracle because he had Stage 4 Retinopathy of Prematurity and we weren't sure just how bad his vision would be. Now he has 20/10 vision. 👁👁

"Tell me the truth," I said to my husband this morning. "Am I too cute?"

His reply?

"Every. Single. Day."

And also — "Love those Bay City Rollers pants." 🤣🥰

On a whim, I tried PC Portuguese custard tarts (freezer to oven to mouth).

As Teri Hatcher would say, "They're real, and they're spectacular."

My garden has already started decorating for the Christmas season.

My friend's little boy made this tiny 6" snowman while standing quietly at the Cenotaph for the Remembrance Day service this morning.

Costco now has this beautiful thinly-sliced beef. I bought a pkg and froze it in five parcels. So far we've had broccoli/beef stir-fry, pho, and — today — beef fajita bowls. Just one way to make meal prep faster and simpler for a beef meal once each week!

We experienced an excellent field trip today — WWI education program at Ruthven Park National Historic Site. I taught about WWI for a decade or so, but I still learned a lot of new things today from Andy Robertshaw. Fantastic! #PandemicHomeschool

Some people score goals or win pennants. Others land big deals or receive great reviews and applause.

Me, I'm just over here feeding seeds to a downy woodpecker who trusts me and I am thrilled to pieces. Doesn't take much!

I have all I need. ❤️

Dear October me, thank you for making extra turkey and packing it so carefully in the freezer so November me could have a delicious meal on a cold and miserable night. November me really appreciates your thoughtfulness!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but roasting your pumpkin seeds with everything bagel seasoning is the best decision you can make in early November.
