Chicken Tetrazini.
Digging into another classic recipe from Mum’s 1965 Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Comfort family favourite. I’m beyond lucky to have this time to cook with Mum. We’re waiting to hear from medical oncology. Grab all the time you can with loved ones❤️

I’m spending extra time with my Mum as she navigates a serious cancer diagnosis. It’s a bit surreal, as I’m also managing a chronic rare cancer with liver & stomach complications.
So, I’m not well enough to do serious housework, but I’m excellent company watching PBS TV😆

The roast chicken lesson was entertaining for me, a bit tortuous for Mum(87). I’m a finicky prep person, chopping & mincing. Deeply impressed at her incredible patience, NOT intervening!
Chicken soup from remains will be this week … any next must cook meat recipe suggestions?

First, Mum approved, & supervised, delicious roast chicken. Feeling ridiculously proud 😊even being over a certain age. Decades of vegan & vegetarianism, means I missed out, learning all the fabulous family meat/fish dishes. Lucky my Mum is still a keen cook!

However bad you’re feeling today, spare a thought for Santa who drank several thousand glasses of sherry and brandy in the UK and then 100 million glasses of milk in the US. He’s spent the last 48 hours throwing up into the Pacific

Tonight this man convinced me that he had not had dinner. He gave me giant googly starving eyes as he drooled into his bowl.

Now he is sleeping off his double dinner with his stomach so large he can’t even lie on it.

Strong contender for a daytime Emmy here.

Satire at its finest.

Though… this particular article is little too close to reality.

Women’s health IS systematically ignored at all levels of research & care.

Maybe this explains why?😆

It was sent to me without attribution on another platform and I posted it here because it's excellent without knowing who'd made it. Gratefully, more than one person on Bsky identified the artist who did. Please repost this.

Happy Birthday Mavis!

Whoa.
Fantastic explanation about how hate & conflict are seeded & fuelled on social media (including here), through the use of bots.
So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.

The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal
