On Saturday, I was meant to provide the turkey for Friendsgiving, so I started an 18-hr brine on a 15-lb bird Friday night. Then my son spiked a fever, so we had to pull out. But there was no freezing a brined turkey, so I made it for my wife and I.

“And then Jesus said to the gathered crowd, ‘When I was a young man, my father took me into the city to see a marching band. He said, ‘Son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned.’ to him I said, ‘Though you’re dead and gone, believe me, your memory…”

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day for all those who celebrate. Maybe terrorize your workplace kitchen today like a brainless mass of walking veins and arteries trying to reshape itself into a man.

They were also selling these books by Jason and Lucy Knisley (@lucyknisley.bsky.social), two authors whose work I always buy. Kid Gloves (Knisley) is about child rearing, so sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from Shadow Life.

This might be a deep rabbit hole...
Are there other consoles that are used for author order, or is this something Nintendo's stable of games seems uniquely positioned to addressed?

Happy Halloween!
For the kids: a variety of candies both chocolate and fruity; for the adults, charcuterie s’mores (smoked cream cheese, various spiced hams, and crackers).

That’s unfair. Those are candid photos and sometimes those capture us in our worst light. Now that he dressed up like the most racist widower at a nursing home’s problematic Pimps and Hos night for his own music video is totally fair game.
