Aspiring author who likes books, history, and nerd stuff. I've a goal to visit all the public art around Salt Lake City. I likely commit too many brain cells toward anti-squirrel schemes directed at the squirrels marauding my tomatoes every summer.
It's absolutely maddening when making quick edits to a long series of files all similarly named.

...highlighted when you clicked back into that folder that's sitting there open.
But no more!! Now the stupid folder scrolls up to the top every single time you click out of the folder. You were working on file #58? Too bad. We're gonna show file #1 when you come back.

Roll out on (if possible) cold floured countertop and bake right away. Don't let it sit! Don't put hot filling in it!
And that will be the best dang pie crust you'll ever have...and the recipe comes from the back of the butter box.
But COLD butter is the real secret, and that's not on the box. 🥧

Throw the entire food processor into the fridge while preparing pie filling so bowl + flour can chill.
When cold, briefly pulse it until the butter looks like it's disappeared.
Add 4-5 TB ice water until it clumps into a ball of dough. Don't knead, barely touch. (It's so cold my fingers get red.)

the idea is not all that counts. the idea is nothing at all until it has been lassooed, corralled, mutated, shuffled, blended with other ideas, and then expressed over the medium of however many thousand words that you have selected and arranged as best you can. the idea is a promise, not a book.

@greenleejw.bsky.social makes maps both real and fantasy! They have a few examples pinned on their profile. And as a bonus you can learn about historical eels.
