First pancake or waffle belongs to the dog, but we don't have any animals in the house, so... I guess we're feeding the birds experimental flax waffles?

If you get stuff (eggs for me) stuck on the bottom your cast iron skillet, boil a thin layer of water in it to loosen the crud. Just remember to re-oil when putting the pan away.
So hey, let’s start off 2025 maybe making somebody’s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thing—object, lifehack, whatever—that solved a small annoyance for you?
For me, did you know you can buy clips with elastic specifically to hold the corner of your fitted sheet on?

Sister in Law: So we made vegan cheesecake last night out of the book you bought your brother
Me: and how did that work?
My brother: I had no idea how hard it was to get agar to set, so... it's vegan custard.

Next week is gonna be the first thanksgiving I will cook with my mom since we all lived in Wisconsin, and I don't actually know what we're having, because we have slowly and steadily rejected all vegetarian turkey substitutes.

I have gotten ONE answer and it has been provided to me via brazilian soccer.
She’s so mad. 🤣🤣🤣
@shmarr.bsky.social : So halfway through this deeply confusing show, how much do you hate me?

Is there a reason you didn't show this to me when we lived in the same town, perhaps?
Oh, I think she's gonna kill me for this one.
When I say I only consume anime that @shmarr.bsky.social hand picks for me, I mean that last night Marr said "Have you seen Eden of the East?"
And 21 hours later we are starting the series.

my point is both that most people need to think in terms of working as part of a group AND ALSO you don’t need to beat yourself up for not feeling heroically brave. do what you can and more opportunities to help will present themselves.

I fondly remember my last halloween, age 14 escorting my brother (11), dressed last minute as bedsheet romans, ending up 2.5 miles away from home in the dark after being chased down the street by darth vader, shoveling unattended candy into our sacks.
Teens do not have a lot of social stuff they can do that is not tied to school or churches, is reasonably low-risk, and allows them to play (because they *still need that*). Trick or treating meets all those criteria. Don't be a jerk, just give 'em candy and admire their costumes if they bothered.
AND ANYONE WHO IS TRICK-OR-TREATING AT FIFTEEN IS PRESUMPTIVELY CLINGING TO THE RITUALS OF CHILDHOOD AT THE MOST DISCOMBOBULATING MOMENT OF THEIR LIVES. THROW CANDY AND KINDNESS AT THEM.
