💙📚 Beautiful. Terrifying. Heartbreaking. Fascinating. Historical details from the mind of a master researcher, but related with a touch so gentle it sometimes stings. I have faced waves I thought mind end me and know that fear. Bacon brings the story alive.

💙📚 Tied with Tress for my favorite of the four Kickstarter novels. Top stars, as always, for creating a world so different from anything I’ve seen before, but so immediately recognizable at the same time. Themes and tropes that speak to me. Just the right amount of romance. Made me crave noodles. 🍜

💙📚 The Island of Doctor Moreau meets the Twilight Zone’s “The Lateness of the Hour.” A sweet story of a journey from innocence to empowerment. The romantic sub-plot took a turn I didn’t expect, which was my favorite bit. My first Moreno-Garcia read that wasn’t either 🔥 or DNF, but a very solid 3⭐️.

A tech-world “bad guys stole a thing and good guy will do crafty and slightly dangerous things to get it back” romp with an unlikely 67-year-old forensic accountant as our protagonist. I liked that much of the conflict concerned Hench dealing with real-world consequences of action-movie decisions.

Love is in the noods! … Noods are in the air? Hmmm…
Working on a recipe for the chocolate noods that’s worth sharing.

Check with family or friends in other states to see if they’d be interested in being library card buddies. :) Libby lets you manage multiple cards in one place, which is SO GREAT.

We don’t get a lot of monarchs in western South Dakota. Every one I spot feels like a gift. (Also I always hope they’re not too lost.)

I stuffed a batch of spaghetti full of jalapeños, habaneros, and ghost peppers in preparation for the Harvest Moon Festival in Custer this weekend. Do you enjoy a little suffering with your meal? Come see me!

That feeling when the persistent and eternal thought of “time to get up and do something productive” can finally be answered with, “nah, not right now.”

If you make your own spaghetti and dry it too fast, you will not have this problem.

So busy making Rainbow Noods in June, I didn’t post any of them. I make rainbows all year round, but Fabulous Fettuccine is a #Pride month specialty. They’re SO pretty, the extra work feels worth it. Not “make them all year” worth it, but close! 😅

My cat isn’t a big snuggler and she hates my singing. If I sing loudly, she meows at me until I quiet down. Tonight I was singing while seated. She meowed, ran a circle around my chair, then hopped up into my lap as I sang.
Y’all. My cat thinks she’s comforting me while I gasp out my swan song. 😭

That feeling when you realize the confidence with which you said “I can have my kitchen reassembled in 2 days!” was severely misplaced, and your middle-aged ass is saved by your mommy who offers to feed you dinner for the next 2 weeks while you recalculate.
