You can enjoy this netflix price chart for a bit before doing any research about it!

Sounds 100% non gmo, it was developed by hand by this one guy from international fruit genetics. Totally non gmo.

What does the G in GMO stand for again? I always forget.

Costco had these chips recently, which led to plenty of family commentary. Infusing potatoes with dill seems possible, but how exactly do you infuse sea salt with "gourmet"? Is the salt itself infused with dill? etc

Questionable marketing aside, they were awesome.

@labsplaining.bsky.social finally followed up on that sourdough pane al cioccolato! Convection + cast iron combo made it a bit dark (plus ummm, not paying attention at the end of the bake) but inside it’s perfect 😋

I got that curse the other day while playing a card game

Parsnip has a new favorite cat bed. Luxurious.

Plenty of bad news today! Here’s an emergency strawberry tart with a graham cracker crust and surprisingly good vegan cream cheese layer.

(Emergency because I had strawberries going bad, not because of the state of the world, but I mean… eating it does make me feel a little better)

I’ll reply with this photo of Pom Pom, I think she’s accurately representing today’s vibe.

Pom likes this idea but wants a share of the profits. She’s a tough negotiator.

Look what I accomplished earlier this week! Pancake gnome of doom. My 14yo daughter was like… wow dad that’s something. Then she ate 1/3 of it and went to school hungry. I don’t think any of this is a success story.

I don't save many meme type things, but I keep this one handy.

Finally opened up facebook and yes, there's still a message sitting there. Not sure if it'll be there after 30 days & not sure if I'll wait to see. Thanks for testing!

Fondue tonight! 5ish pounds of various Swiss cheeses ready to melt

For some reason emoji kitchen does... this

Here’s Parsnip relaxing, yes she is as soft as she looks.

I’ve never wanted to subtweet anyone (rarely want to tweet at all tbh) but I agree on the cat pics. How much better would life be if we could all just check out like Pom

Here’s Parsnip & Pom Pom on the couch. They are not friends, but sometimes a clean quilt is just too appealing and they both need to shed on it ASAP.

Bonus Parsnip relaxing in the morning sun 🎉

Solidarity!

We haven’t heard when the power’s coming back, but until then we’re listening to the delightful sounds of a 30+ year old constantly misfiring engine.

We’re experiencing exactly that issue now. They’re done, but crispier than we’d like. Should they have been underbaked and firm up afterwards? Probably.

They’re shaped like cookies though!

Parsnip wants us to believe she's sooooo big. Simply impossible to fit in a chair properly.

Polka liked to sit on my shoulder :)
