Week 6 of making flatbread instead of buying bagels or other breadstuffs. First time trying a yeasted recipe.

This stuff is SO cheap, so easy. This is a bit more than half of the batch. I don’t have a stand mixer, a ton of counter space, or any real skills, so if I can pull it off most folks can

No joke: I drove past the Wendy’s in my neighborhood this afternoon, and their street-side sign read: “Misery has arrived. Good luck!”

One of my coping strategies is to get basic in whatever forms make sense at the time—enjoying simple competence at simple things. I’ve always been a cook, but this spring I started making things from scratch I’d ordinarily buy.

Here’s a batch of tortillas I made this evening! Super good, sooo cheap

Reilly here to remind me that I have other hangers, I don’t need to be so finicky. Happy Caturday!

Today turned more stressful than expected…had to take this little urchin to the vet, and now she’s scheduled for surgery next week. Life’s always going to throw curveballs like this, but damn if they don’t hit even harder amidst the current chaos

I am fine with “pointless stunts” like this every damn day. I will never tire of Dems standing up and articulating the damage for 19+ hours and counting when the other side can’t string five true words together in their defense. Keep. It. Coming.
This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

Could not pass up the chance for a hike today — I’m not taking a 45-degree day for granted, especially not with a long Michigan winter ahead!

From the info I’ve gathered, the fungi in the second picture is commonly called “turkey tail” and is a sign of a healthy, active forest ecosystem (yay!)

Not sure why I’m just now putting this together…but is the reason *every* proposed cabinet appointee is a literal criminal about leverage against 25A maneuvers?

bc while I correctly anticipated the “worst people you can think of” part, the flavor profile is too specific not to be a design decision

This is relevant to my interests! (Also probably dating myself here?!)
I have a crush on Christopher Cross now. Also, you should watch the yacht rock documentary if you haven’t. I had no idea that pretty much every album ever has members of Toto playing on them.

Soup is awesome!

No recipes, just vibes and whatever's on hand, fed for days.

In the time it takes to get up and refill my mug…

Today's cemetery walk, signs of progress: A crow spotted us, flew off. 10 came back around, circled the tree right over my head, and briefly landed there, watching. We put out treats each time, but they don't go for them while we're still in the area. Maybe they're starting to associate though?

I’m chuckling and groaning at the same time…
I made one for 'types of paper in epidemiology and public health'

This isn’t my first time making dumplings, but it’s my first time making dumplings that *actually look like and hold together* as dumplings!

Whoo hoo bsky! This new neighborhood is hopping…

I haven’t even migrated most of my follows over here yet, but already my feed is 100x more interesting and vibrant, and I’m excited to *want* to post again. Here for it!
