My cat is angry because @jseanallen.bsky.social has not come to bed. Yes, it’s not quite 8pm.

Stripey cat at the foot of the bed glaring because I told her Papa is an adult and doesn’t have to go to bed when she says so.

The back of an angry cat staring at the door waiting for Papa to come to bed so she can pretend she hasn’t had treats yet. Tail is angrily flicking.

When we moved, my husband packed while I was in our new local. We have wildly different organizational styles. I recently found this thermometer bag (for all your temperature taking needs)

A ziplock bag containing a temporal thermometer, a meat thermometer (we’re vegan), a candy thermometer, a second candy thermometer bought to replace the lost first thermometer, a third candy thermometer (still in the package), and a keychain flashlight

Today I stopped procrastinating and made more chili powder. (I make my own blend because I’m picky like that.) I’d been putting it off because I mislaid my scale. Turns out all my ground chilies were the exact proportions I needed.

Low vision problems: I can’t read this grey type without bright lighting, but I can’t read the glossy paper under bright lights. Guess I’ll just never drink coffee again.

Buy the three pound bags of pealed garlic cloves from Costco and roast them in the crockpot. Let cool and use a cookie scoop to make consistently sized flavor bombs for relatively little effort.

Made quiche of the week a day early since I didn’t need to cook dinner (made a six quart crock pot of chili this morning). Not having to come up with meals is a small way to lessen the stress of the week ahead.

Vegan puff pastry quiche in a blue Pyrex casserole dish. This week it’s vegan bacon, mozzarella, onion, and kale. Quiche is topped with halved grape tomatoes.

Weekend reminder that if you use a puff pastry as your quiche crust, you can roll it out (parchment paper included) into a 9x13 casserole and end up with six mornings of breakfast sorted in less than a half hour of active cooking.
