I'm wary of Instagram hacks, but gotta say planting garlic with a bulb auger was fantastic. Over 100 cloves in less than two hours, and that included weeding!

The best thing about tonight's Bears game is that I didn't try to get a ticket to see it in person. Good grief what garbage.

Ich bin eine Bernstein-Waldschabe. Ich sehe einer Kakerlake ähnlich, bin aber harmlos. Im Sommer lande ich manchmal in deiner Wohnung. Ich bin blasser als eine Kakerlake und habe am Hals keine schwarzen Längsstreifen. Bei Helligkeit renne ich nicht weg. Bitte bringe mich wieder nach draußen.

Sie sieht aus wie eine Kakerlake, ist aber vollkommen harmlos: Die Bernstein-Waldschabe. Warum es keinen Grund gibt, die Schädlingsbekämpfer zu rufen.

Was about to post about making green chile and suddenly realized I didn't check if I had canned tomatoes and dear God I did NOT want to have to go to the store today. 🍽️

This may be the first time I've ever made (or had?) sardines. Good recipe from toriavey.com/mediterranea.... I'd maybe notch back on the red pepper flakes and go the full set of capers. But very tasty! It's growing on me. 🍽️

These lobster tails with homemade chipotle mayo from Rick Bayless' "One Plate at a Time" were well worth the relatively light effort. Happy New Year!

Enshittification via AI: SiriusXM is playing an 80's "Top 500 Countdown" show, with numbers announced by a humanish voice. Bob Seger's "Shakedown" was three spots higher than "Start Me Up". What are we counting down here, exactly? This is nonsense.
