Just made these seed cakes for my DIL’s Hobbit-themed birthday party. Used a recipe from @diane.dianeduane.com and they’re delicious!

@marthawells.com Thank you for telling us about the Humble Bundle! I’m on the last Murderbot book before I start the rest of the bundle. I just finished Fugitive Telemetry, and I just want to say, if you ever want to do a Murderbot Mysteries series, I’m here for it!

@hntdove.bsky.social I just finished the first Supervolcano book! I’m working my way through my local library’s collection of your books and loving it!

@scalzi.com I just finished Lock-In, read it in one sitting. Holy cow! I mean, I was already a fan, but this one is probably my favorite of yours so far!

I made this! Yes, I’m proud of it. Among other things, it was my first time piping whipped cream, and I just did it without overthinking it.
Dessert tonight was mini banana splits. Everything is homemade except the fresh bananas and the roasted peanuts. Toppings include hot fudge, peach jam, blueberry jam and whipped cream, on vanilla ice cream.

@scalzi.com I just finished Kaiju Preservation Society. Thank you, I needed that! I will say that there was only one thing that seemed unrealistic to me at the end, and it had nothing to do with kaiju. I’m sure you can guess what I mean, in light of the recent past. Still, it was a pleasure to read!

I decided I wanted Buffalo chicken tenders for lunch. So I defrosted a couple of thighs and made ‘em!

For those curious about costs:
· the lasagna meals are $0.94 / serving, and
· the salisbury steak with gravy meals are $1.60 / serving
We've got enough meals now that we could eat something different every other day for a month.

Me: Could you try making crumpets?
@mattlevy.bsky.social : Sure, why not?
/*about an hour later*/
Me: Oh My God! These are so good!

My accomplishment for today: mincemeat wontons! First time making wontons, so I had a couple of bursters. (Leftover mincemeat from mincemeat pies last week. ) They’re still delicious!

I’m feeling accomplished. I made Thanksgiving dinner for @amymlevy.bsky.social and me: roast chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing and peas. Yesterday, I made mini, mincemeat pies and chocolate cookies, along with a cider braised pork roast for us and our older son. And I did the dishes!

@mattlevy.bsky.social is cooking mincemeat (spiced fruit) filling this afternoon and the whole house smells amazing. He'll bake it into little tarts tomorrow.
There's a reason I don't cook now that we're retired! He's so much better at it than I am.
