How do we have any discourse in this group? Perhaps I am missing how Bluesky works. My friend @miriamseidel.bsky.social has a book coming out shortly, and I have a small. She's already published 2 novels and I have one almost completed. We've been writing on different, sometimes converging paths.

Shame on Poland. Just set their country back 50 years. what had become an intelligent, progressive, prosperous country, a power player, on the EU stage and internationally. I will post documents from that time every day. It will become public historical record of who was supporting Poland.

On this final day of Poetry Month, I post a poem I wrote in 2012. This is the third time it's been published in since. This time in @LarryRobbins' Poetry Ink for World Poetry Day. Poems about Poems, I think. #Booksky #WritingCommunity #Poetry #poetrymonth #literature

Flambéeing is so much easier with a gas cooktop in old house. Didn't need the lighter. Chicken w/white wine/brandy; other: shrimp with white wine and cognac. Can't wait to get the kitchen in our new house outfitted with a cooktop and good vent. I have to open the back slider or set off the alarm.

@swilk.bsky.social Thx for following. While waiting for a Dr call back I sat on my bathroom floor for 3 hours making collages out of sample pain sheets on my unpaintable contractor grade vanity. It helped my anxiety a lot. Inspired by my artist friend Nancy Citrino and 1920's Russian artist Popova

🍽🍜😋 #Food #FoodSky #Cooking #WhatsCooking #writing Made Julia's Beouf Bourgignon. I've made it maybe 40 times, but this one is maybe the best.took 15 minutes and two of us to make the veggie herb packets with the stingy little piece of cheesecloth I had left. but worth it. Cooking is therapy.

#food #foodies #yum #eat #foodsky #culinarysky 🍜🍽️I go a little nuts if one of my spices is not put back where I expect it to be. It can throw off your timing if you have to spend an additional 3 minutes searching for one. This is an IKEA drawer within drawer. I can't cook without it and fresh herbs

Anyone have experience with this type of cooktop? looks really neat, but a little dangerous? Also what is it and where can I source it?

My daughter's pizza made in a home oven at 500 degrees. Came out almost as good as a brick oven. She made the crust over 3 days and added malt. Superb.

Haha, I dip my thin sliced scrapple in ketchup and this time all I had for toast was Seeded Jewish Rye. We do it good here in Philly. I don't care what others say, so long as I declare it delicious. Yours looks fabulous and delicious. BLT of any kind, my fave comfort food. Carry on
