Burned my little finger on a hot skillet just as I finished making pancakes this morning. Instantly treated with cold water, cold pack, followed by lavender oil, and it's going to be fine, but super annoyed about it.

I absolutely love this webcomic

Y'all, if you like fantasy adventure, you'll LOVE SIDEQUESTED! It's so much fun to read, the characters are fantastic, the artwork is gorgeous, and the story and dialogue are brilliant! I legit would option this for a TV series if I wasn't already slammed and underfunded.

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

Late event at work so I am currently on the horrid suburban tour of every goddamn bus stop between work city and live city. Commuter options are long over for the night, and I'm staring at the upcoming stops listing at really fake-sounding places. Sugar Lump Square? Are you kidding?!

This was very good. Next time I will add mitmita to bump the heat. This isn't the same as Baasto, but it's definitely in the same neighbourhood. 🍽️🍜

I'm making a baked spaghetti, but with an Ethiopian twist - the ground beef is fried in spiced butter, (seasoning is Berbere). Loads of tomato and mozzarella. It's in the oven and smells amazing.

Pls read my books - they take place in my homeland, Texas, where they are challenged & it makes me sad for Lipan readers who want to see characters like them.

It's Banned Books Week. Please read widely and bravely.

Lost my mind and started the holiday baking early, in order to use up a surfeit of ground almonds. Naturally I had to do a little test bake...the verdict? Success! The rest of the dough logs will stay tightly wrapped until needed in December. 🍜🍽️🍪

Suddenly remembered the trend of recipes in cozy mystery 🕵️‍♀️ books from a ways back. Is that still a thing? Does anyone ever actually make such recipes? #Foodsky 💙📚

Out for dinner tonight, so lunch was this rather nice salad. Blueberries, pear and blue cheese go remarkably well together, and the walnuts really tie it all together. 🥗🍐🫐 🍜🍽️

I didn't take a picture yesterday, but good heavens the black cardamom smothered pork chop heated up beautifully for lunch today! 🍜🍽️

I've had this cookbook for less than a week, and I have already made the black cardamom smothered pork chops, which were proclaimed "a winner!" at dinner tonight. Many more things to try! The cumin-drizzled apple pie...the Tellicherry buttermilk biscuits...the vivid tomato and cheese pie... 🍜

Good morning BlueSky! I made yet another dutch baby pancake for weekend #breakfast. This one has cold smoked pork cutlet (ham-like), Vintage Bruton Beauty cheddar, minced red onion and minced jalapeño. The batter was flavoured with mustard powder, onion granules, and white pepper. 🍜🍽️🥚

Ballet. Excellent exercise, great balance training/retention, slow but measured progress, cute outfits.

What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.

It's pretty tasty! Not too sweet. Very fragile texture, though, so a bit messy to eat. The white chocolate glaze was a bit thin, would make it thicker next time. 🍜🍽️

I made a plum loaf that I've been meaning to try for years. It's a behemoth, so I really hope it turned out. *stares impatiently*
