She/her. Queer. Writing, appreciating the moment, doing way too much critical thinking about Hozier and ASoiaF.

Coincidentally, I got a fundraising text from his office today 🤬
A screenshot of a text message conversation. The first text is a fundraising effort by Gavin Newsom's campaign. The recipient replied: I refuse to support any politician who makes the disgusting choice to throw trans people under the bus

I'm soooo excited for my recent order to arrive, I got several wintry thermals 🤩❄️

The pumpkin pie turned out great! I blind baked the hell out of the crust, and it worked!!! Crisp, buttery, beautiful crust, topped with Julia Child's fluffy pumpkin filling 🤤
A photo of a slice of pumpkin pie in a dark blue bowl. The crust is dark gold, the filling is brown and fluffy, and there's a dollop of whipped cream on top. A close up of the same slice of pumpkin pie. A fork holds up a bite of pie to show the crisp bottom crust

Oh my gooooood 🤤

If you've never tried putting roasted butternut squash on top of a piece of buttered toast, I highly recommend it.

Did you know that indie nail polish is a thing? Sooooo much variety and creativity, all for temporary art that we wear on ten little canvases

Thing is, I'm not that great? Nail art can get soooooo complex and breathtaking, meanwhile I just followed this lil tutorial

i.pinimg.com/originals/e9...
Six side-by-side close-up images of a fingernail. The images show a tutorial of how to paint the nail to resemble a ladybug, with the first picture showing a red polish base with a black horizontal stripe across the nail tip, and the final image showing that a black vertical line has been added, with black dots on either side, and dots of white and black to give the ladybug eyes

Look at what you can do with drugstore nail polish, some tape, a brush, and a makeup sponge!

Oh my GOD it's so good?! I tried the recipe from the B Dylan Hollis cookbook and my god 🤤
A slice of grasshopper pie on a plate. The pie is creamy and pale green, with a texture like cheesecake; the crust is oreos and the top is sprinkled with curls of shaved chocolate

Me: I should be fully reading/highlighting/taking notes for Closely Held even though it bores me to tears and I don't want to work in that area

Also me: or I could skim it and make puff pastry
Several palmiers, a type of golden puff pastry resembling a heart folded in on itself. There are many flaky layers visible, with a crust of sugar in the center fold A vol au vent, a short round cup of golden puff pastry. It is filled with creamy brie and peach preserves.

Don’t think I have enough followers to get an answer on this corn soufflé snafu, but worth a shot… help!
Screenshot from Reddit. Help! Soufflé quart dish substitute??? Help! Soufflé quart dish substitute??? Throwing this out as a Hail Mary, because Google hasn’t been super helpful. I wanted to surprise my sister-in-law tomorrow with her family’s corn pudding/soufflé recipe that no one has brought in years. I have the recipe (obtained months ago to deflect suspicion), the corn (frozen from my garden), I have all the other ingredients…. But I forgot it requires a 1 quart soufflé dish. I don’t have one. Nor do I have a Pyrex of similar size that I can make taller with aluminum foil. I do have an assortment of round cake pans and springform pans ranging from 4-10 inches; would one of them possibly work? Or is that going to throw off the rise/cook time?

Oh, I want to dig up some 1940s US officials and have WORDS 🤬 🤬 🤬
Wikipedia screenshot: While Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials, those captured by the United States were secretly given immunity in exchange for the data gathered during their human experiments.[6] The United States helped cover up the human experimentations and handed stipends to the perpetrators.[1] The Americans co-opted the researchers' bioweapons information and experience for use in their own biological warfare program, much like what had been done with Nazi German researchers in Operation Paperclip.[7][8]

Here’s my two attempts at a phyllo butternut squash bacon chicken pie; the second was flakier but both tasted amazing. Kimberly’s recipe from GBBO is 🤌🏻
