our dog has a specific look of stoic betrayal reserved for when we give her celery. She'll eat it -- she eats anything bc All Human Foods Must Be Treats -- but she'll stare up at us while laboriously crunching the celery bits like *crunch* 🥺 *crunch* 🥺 *crunch* 🥺 *crunch* 🥺

I tried maple cookies once when we were out of sugar; if you like maple, these are less sweet and have a soft chewiness I liked. (I make them w/o choc chips b/c I am a poor grocery planner, but they prob taste great with the choc chips too) www.millersmaple.com/new/maple-ch...

(I was just quick to pick up on that b/c my grandpa was a thermomechanical engineer who for 15+ years used every glass of water we poured as an opportunity to teach me more thermodynamics 😂 so brain went LITERS! KILOGRAMS! SCIENCE! BZZT!)

no you're right! I think it IS approximately, now...per wiki, the pre-kg, OG measure was exactly 1L. Then they defined 1kg as 1dm3 of water, which IS the definition of 1L for volume, but TIL the exactness depends a bit on temp of the water) then 2019 they redefined it using universal constants...

reading this I went "wait, 1kg of water is ABOUT 1L?? I got taught that that's the literal definition of kg, no 'about' about it" -- then one wiki read later, turns out the kg got officially redefined in 2019!?! TIL...

that boat looks great!

this was my FIRST THOUGHT. The mental image of that last time he sees her remains intact and haunts me 20+ years later.

adorable <3 this is our goofball -- we don't quite know what breeds went into creating her, but whatever Bagel is, I'm sure she's got a lot of that!
