Costco, I love you, but I think I may have a problem... 😅

In my defense, I AM restocking our house for the first time, after spending the past TWO MONTHS temporarily living on the other side of the state!

(But really, though, I can't be trusted there unsupervised!)

@mollyharperauth.bsky.social brought the best on-theme swag to her book signing tonight - waiting to see how @tirzahprice.bsky.social escalates, at the next event!

(Although the cross stitch pattern last time was pretty impressive!)

Mango Cream Pie, from Jam Bake by Camilla Wynne - it's not often that I end up with something that looks like the photo on the recipe!

*Immediately after taking this photo, I proceeded to dump the rest of the whipped cream on the pie, because seriously, who's gonna want a piece without it?!?

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White was brutal, but so, so, good. A book with a trans AND autistic main character, in a gothic horror setting, that I simply couldn't put down!

I don't know what wizardry they used to make this carrot cake chai at The Congregation, but I'll be damned - it really does taste like carrot cake!

Made a quick trip to the other side of the state today, to pick up some prescriptions, and stopped into my favorite bookstore for some self care.

I always find the best books at @bettiespages.bsky.social !

It's from a few months ago, but this monster is why I can't have nice things!

The surgeon said I have to increase my husband's protein intake, to speed up wound healing - I just took it upon myself to also increase his daily intake of schmoop, at the same time!

When it's your 21st anniversary, and your spouse is stuck in the hospital, you make do, and instead of going out for your traditional celebratory tacos, you just bring a thermos full of meat and bags of ingredients, and have a taco picnic in their room.

I love you more than queso!

Apologies for falling off the face of the earth, apparently. The world was already a shit show, but then my personal world imploded, too.

As penance, I give you my family's recipe for banana bread - Rose Latz was my Gramma Rose.
