Here for good food, most plants, many critters, bad weather, and Bama football.
Someone told me about their family tradition where they toast slices of dressing to make leftover sandwiches on turkey day 2.

I won’t get a chance to try this year, but I’d love to know how common this is and whether it’s as amazing as I imagine.

Coming home to a surprise supper off the grill is a very nice perk of having a spouse off work

Small children are among our weekend guests. These children don’t regularly experience cats, but for reference, one met Pepper once and for quite some time thereafter referred to all cats as “Pepper.”

It’s also worth noting these cats don’t regularly experience children, either.

This is Pepper’s first Halloween not living in a dark house on a hill in the woods, so first run-in with trick-or-treaters.

Turns out our people cat really prefer them fully grown and has spent quite a lot of her evening hiding from tiny princesses and such in the closet 😐

Reunion no. 2, cake no. 2.

This one is an Apple Dapple.

Fingers crossed it takes up its caramel sauce *and* comes out of the pan or yours truly will be toting in a box of grocery store cookies.

One orange spiced Bundt cake bound for a family reunion.

I’m really not mad about how the icing turned out. Granted, the night is still young, but my icings usually have a way of sliding right off to be spooned back on later. Will chalk this win up to beginner’s luck with a new recipe.

Made sure to have the necessary provisions for my favorite civil servant (whose only real weakness happens to be Oreos) on this first day of lapse.

It didn’t have to be this way.

Inspiration credit: @jimmyc42.bsky.social, of course.

Lying here absolutely wired for sound at 2am, I have learned an important lesson about tea selection before bed.

My first meal back in the southeast was a Pub sub. Boar’s Head Italian on special this week, y’all. I am LIVING.

No fewer than 4 cat beds (2 of which are specifically hers), a cat hammock, two soft chairs, and a couch with blankets here, but this grow bag that she dragged into the corner under the side table is the coziest nap spot.

Sent with love from a dear friend (definitely not from AL) who somehow looks past the person I become on Saturdays in the fall 😅

Roll Tide, y’all

I learned today that this mean mug has earned her a nickname among the vet staff, “Menacing Marble.” (They assure me they love her and she gives them no trouble.)

Went into the liquor store for rum for a different batch of mint extract. Came out with rum and Schlafly Vanilla Pumpkin Ale. Gotta celebrate fake fall this week, you know

Shoutout to the great veterinarians out there.

Aging is a gift and a bit of a curse, and Marble has had a tough week. Thanks, Dr. M, for taking great care of her and always talking me through it with a ton of compassion.

1 lb of chicken, half an onion, 2 bell peppers, 4 cups of cheese - on 4 medium tortillas? In what world, internet recipe?

Spoiler, it took 6 extra large tortillas and they are generous. Will be eating quesadillas 4ever.

Got talked into making mint extract, and I have to say, it has been a pretty fun cupboard experiment.
