I wanted to do something special for what may be the last batch of cookies I get to bring to the Curiosity/MSL team! My own sugar cookie recipe, with matcha and edible flowers from my #pnw garden 🌿 ☺️ Also see: huge cookie for my husband. Not pictured: snickerdoodles #baking #glutenfree #nasa #jpl

Noticed this botanical face off on my morning walk (not my yard). It’ll be a close match! Place your bets now

That time I made the most gorgeous lemon poppyseed loaf in my new cast iron loaf pan… only to discover I underbaked it by not adding enough extra time to account for the pan material. #wompwomp #baking #glutenfree

Also with some thunderstorms in the area I had to jam to Thunderstruck for a bit. A very satisfying song to learn! ⛈️⚡️🥁

Also very much enjoyed the opener, #Telescreens. They’ve got a fantastic stage presence and an even better sense of humor

It was very much a ‘homemade cod & salmon chowder in the rain’ sort of cozy Sunday evening

A spaniel, her tennis ball, and a muddy field. Name a more iconic trio.

#Throwback: just came across this picture of me getting ready to #pilot a Cessna 172 in 2006. Thanks to a growth spurt I’d just graduated from sitting on books to see over the instrument panel 😅 Missing those days at KLOU! #aviation
