We watched “A Quiet Place”, last night, the one where a cat spends some time being involuntarily plunged into water, and I got reminded that I had a photo of just how calmly one of my cats would react*.
Behold:
(*no animals were harmed - she did quite well in her bath after this photo.)

I’ve got gifts ready for my USPS clerk friends. (They’re gift cards to a locally owned store). I wanted to make them look like letters, but not too much.

This may be useful to those with limited space for appliances - This is my smoothie making set up: just a 1.5 liter HEAVY glass cylinder jar (Weck 974) & a powerful immersion blender (this one is a Braun Multiquick). Easy to store, wash, and (usually) less expensive than a powerful blender. #kitchen

Maypo Ragu, NYT recipe by chefs David Chang & Tien Ho, adapted by Sam Sifton. Slight modifications: spinach instead of kale, maple syrup instead of brown sugar
(I’m lazy / it was handy), brown rice noodles instead of rice cakes bc Whole Foods didn’t have. Added some peanuts on top. Delish!

We just received a gift of a Christmas pudding from wonderful relatives in Ireland. What’s the best way to steam it? Top of stove or oven? I’ve never had one. #ChristmasPudding

I spent an hour in the foggy mist this morning making greenery arrangements in my 4 hayracks. It’s raining hard now - I’ll see if they still look OK in the AM.

Add 2 cups tomato passata or use the equivalent in tomato sauce or whole canned tomatoes. Add ~5 ounces baby spinach, or chopped reg spinach. And the cooked pasta, plus a bit of the pasta cooking water. Toss for 2 minutes. Add more of the pasta water if needed, for light sauciness. Done!
