I forsee apple butter on multigrain toast from yesterday's sourdough loaf. (Yep, I'm baking weekly bread...)

Got a whole bag of baby apples & had some apples & a very ripe pear. I've cored & chopped the fruit, now simmering cores & spices in water to extract pectin & flavor. InstantPot loaded & the house smells AhMayzing. We'll have apple butter before the day is over!

I've since learned the 3 things you say to a terminal patient: - we love you & we'll be okay - you did a great job - there's nothing here left undone I also learned your presence may be a millstone - my aunt waited until her son & I both left the room for 5 min to take her last breath.

My aunt was talking to spirits she could see in the far corner of her room last 24-48 hours. Her grandmother told us all that our dead loved ones gather around to usher the dying person & help loosen earthbound ties. Thought it was creepy AF as a teen, but saw it happen that night.

I've also experienced time-warp connective tissue-bending while bearing witness to my aunt's passing. We didn't tell my mom (her sister) - recovering from a stroke in nearby hospital - that the sister she'd cared for during last final cancerous days had died til 5 days later. She already knew.

I salute you as I approach year 6. This year has been hard at times -- until we put media + attention rules in place (only 1 hr of news from only y sources, notifications off, outdoor time, etc).

Mr BRC lifetime Duck fan who witnessed Kelly's regime up close & personal thanks to season tickets & friends in the know. He grudgingly nodded at my assessment - even tho it feels like elder abuse from his contemporaries.

If I had to guess.... Northwestern always has been Big10 laughingstock lagging near last place every year. They're happy to take a chance on a meteoric coach inching closer to past his prime. Not sure Kelly fits Lanning's vibe...

Honestly instead of learning new techniques to hack my nervous system I'd like to live in a equitable life-affirming society that didn't push me into fight or flight hour after hour. You?

No wonder Northwestern a surprise offensive upstart this year! Didn't realize Chip Kelly now Northwestern offensive coordinator - I'm no longer surprised. #GoDucks #ExDucks

With his finger on the pulse of the US zeitgeist, Presidential Wannabe Gavin Newsom wades into the fight against rape on the side of ....the rapists. I cannot explain to you how hard I will NOT VOTE for this man. If you put him on the ballot, you will lose

This brings up the whole autotune demonization debates from days past. Or the ongoing studio track enhancements/manipulations vs 'genuine/pure' live performances

I remember this story when it first came out. I knew what an entitled POS Winston was from this & other stories. He's done nothing since then to change that opinion.

It will automatically get reviewed post-game by a committee not including game officials. Additional penalties can be added by that committee & it's happened before through this mandatory process.

Take it directly to the Big10 conf - they have rules & process to address issues like this already.

Completely agree. Community managers should do two things: - turn off emotional filtering - put on the Teflon - not everyone will like/love you, but they ought to respect you

Verdict? Best thing ever - especially after I added can of great northern beans & a crapton of fresh thyme.

I added diced Aidell's pineapple-bacon sausage to sauteeing veggies in dutch oven. Next, I'll toss can of Ro-Tel & all of the sheared off corn niblets in an hour, then strain coconut milk/corn stock into the pot for a low & slow simmer. It's either going to be a Hot Mess or the best thing ever.

I'm making 'clean out the fridge' soup right now, featuring all of the corn we made for Sun family dinner that we forgot to serve with the meal! - Corn cobs simmering in a coconut milk/water bath. - Celery, onion, wilted mushrooms & red pepper sauteed with leftover gyro meat & diced red pepper

Outtakes from tonight's Proof of Life dinner with son & family, including 2 & 5 y/o grandkids. - I'd forgotten how fun the 2 y/o NOOO phase is - kid toy box scattered over living room in 30 seconds - hobbling Mr BRC went down 12 ft metal slide w/2 y/o after Fri tailbone injury WHY, again?

Yep, he was running backwards to hit the ball, smacked into wall & then hard on his, um, tailbone. Thankfully I had this seat cushion handy!
Portable seat cushion from Cushion Lab, usually used in my office chair!

I just tucked Mr BRC into bed for maybe 2nd time in our 14-year history. He's in pain after pickleball injury Fri. It's worse today, despite all the therapies: OTC drugs, hot tub, icing & now heat pack & special padded seat. I slapped on salonpas patches & dosed him w/CBD+ tincture & 💊.

Now I want to pull out & reread Pete Wells' NYT takedown of Fieri's megalomaniacal crash & burn extravaganza in midtown Manhattan that lasted, um, how long? Answer: 6 years, zero stars, review lives in infamy! Sadly, O's Russell not up for the job.
