I did not survive cancer to have to put up with this nonsense. Not a baseball fan, but my favorite movie is Field of Dreams. I cook because someone has to. I bake to show my love. Be curious, not judgmental. Hoya Saxa.
What I wouldn’t give for truthful headlines like this from legacy media about substantive issues . . .

Is it the best book I have ever read? It is not. Is it my favorite book? No again. Is it the first slightly naughty book with “mature” themes I ever read (and re-read umpteen times)? Yes. Yes, it is.

Only a sliver of a fraction of the natural beauty our world holds . . . but these are a few of the wonders I have been privileged to see. I hope many more generations will be able to enjoy them as well. #earthday

The University of Limerick has a cool automated storage and retrieval system holding up to 500k books, and you can watch it through a window in the library, if that kind of thing gets your heart racing. Also, the Cliffs of Kilkee are free and less crowded than the Cliffs of Moher.

Had to try #baking the copycat Levain lemon cookies everyone is talking about. Think I’ll add more zest next time, but otherwise 👍

This is the kind of synergy my timeline used to throw me in the bad place. Good to see Bluesky has finally gotten there. Congrats to my husband’s #Eagles

Rialto Street in Pittsburgh would like a word. SF and Pittsburgh have to be the best cardio workouts in the country.

I guess this is going to have to suffice as a White Christmas this year. (Yes, that is bamboo, and yes, this is Pittsburgh. Don’t question it.)

Recipe for anyone who wants to give it a try. I use at least double the 1/3 c. of raspberry jam, btw.

Felt like baking, but didn’t feel like making individual cookies, so . . . Raspberry Chocolate Crumble Bars.

Not a great photo, but we have a barred owl we have dubbed “Norman” in the backyard. Norman is fond of demonstrating his distinctive hoot—Who Cooks for You?—at 4:30 am. Each instance makes me less and less likely to ever cook for Norman.

I like gingerbread people cutters because they become reindeer when turned upside down.
