I don’t like chocolate chip pecan pie. It’s too sweet. But, my whole family adores it. So, I make one every year about this time.

My child, who is living I the attic post-Uni, has made music. If you don’t hate it, I’m sure they would like encouragement. icarust.bandcamp.com/album/ike…

Side effect of living through The Plague: I __ still__ think it’s 2020 and have to correct myself.

As the baking holidays near, I am delighted to report that you can make brown sugar, no need to deal with buying too much and having it turn to a rock hard mess in the cupboard. Mix together 1T (15g) molasses with 1c (200g) sugar for light brown sugar. To make dark brown sugar, use 2T of molasses.

Orchids are in new pots. I really wish I knew what I was doing here. I predict at least one of these will decide it liked its old pot better and will die, just to spite me.

A picture of a legend is sometimes inspiring and sometimes distracting. Try as I may, I don’t have their physical gifts or their youth. I sure love riding though 📷 🚲

Now 200 unsuccessful escape attempts in Hades. This isn’t much fun anymore. I’m pretty sure that if I stop now, I’ll never pick it up again. 🎮

I don’t feel like I understand hygge correctly, but this picture of Mattie wrapped in blankets feels like it is at least similar. 📷

Hey @Archimage I was thinking about throwaway lines on my bike ride.

She lived in one of those neighborhoods that had a bus line, only so the maids dirty cars wouldn’t clog the driveways.

Not as good as yours I’m afraid, but I was proud of it.

Sometimes majority is just a matter of which boundaries you can see. 📷
