iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

How did you get here? Any famous ancestors? I found SO many from WAY back--see pic. This is *relaxing* research, gets you away from TV bad news du jour, and is much easier than you think. You'll find old photos & stories, too. mavely.app.link/6kh4...

Ira Blossom started this great idea: a games-only, print-only newspaper! Here's an article all about it. What a genius! designobserver.com/i...

I’m surprised at all these gays-doing-sports books. We were the guys who “played sick” in gym class and actually wanted to be in Home Ec class.

Wouldn't we all love an (expensive) Le Creuset dutch oven? I found that I could get a different brand and it works just as well! It's this one. You don't have to pay $300! It's $51.74 today at Kohl's with the code TAKE25. No kidding. This is a real deal. mavely.app.link/gH52...

New great side dish for fall: Rutabaga-Sweet Potato Hash! Some people think rutabagas can be sharp-tasting, like turnips. But they mellow when roasted and have an earthy, rich flavor. The recipe is on my Facebook page, Carolina Country Cooking:

I’m curious if any fiction lovers are planning to read this brand-new bio, just released, on Cormac McCarthy. Knowing about McCarthy’s personal life, I’m unsure. amzn.to/3W7jEje

I need a good beta reader for a memoir-type nonfiction book, ca 200 pages. I won’t go to Fiverr or Upwork. No AI. Anyone you can recommend? #writers #editors

Announcement: I'm afraid that the price on the audiobook version of "Lena, Wild Girl on the Prairie," will change soon. If you join Audible now, though, you can get it free. Susan Wegmann's beautiful narration really takes you back to 1880. amzn.to/4rFujxe #audiobook

Two years ago today: Claudia Sheinbaum is sworn in as president of Mexico. What the U.S. has never gotten to, electing a woman or Jew as president, Mexico has already achieved. Think about that. #ClaudiaSheinbaum #Mexico #President

Released TODAY! I have long been waiting for this cookbook. Sara Bradley, a two-time Top Chef competitor, brings together Southern food, her Jewish heritage, and restaurant experience. Think Hot Brown deviled eggs, Funeral Potatoes, sorghum, Duke’s Mayo, and curried sweet-potato latkes.

Today in pop culture history: Johnny Carson hosted the Tonight Show for the first time. (Of course, he never "skin-skied" on TV.)

Today in 1822! Joseph Marion Hernández becomes the first Hispanic elected to Congress. Yes, over 100 years ago. We've had brown people in the U.S. for a very long time (and even before whites got here). It's hard to deal with what ICE is doing and what my friends are subject to.

Sustainable shopping, eco-forward thinking is the way to go. Let's give our landfills a rest! Here are 3 things--I didn't even know quality reusable paper towels were a thing. "Paper" towels: mavely.app.link/5Pup... Hand soap.

Remember that red sled you got for Christmas? Well, now it's a TOASTER. Don't burn your buns or brown-ish your bread. You can get a piece of art that also does the work. mavely.app.link/Xd5X...

Carolina Country Cooking's Amazon Page - New Cookbooks for Great Food and Budget Savings

7 new cookbooks that any level of cook will want. I took a long time assembling this list. For yourself, but possible gift ideas. The one I’m using the most shows how to make meals with whatever you have on hand. It really works. amzn.to/4hcfbTh

Lol laughing at my husband watching football and admiring a player’s “jheri curl.” That honky has no idea what he’s talking about.

It's not a tablet! Nor is it a bird or plane. The new E-CHESS set. mavely.app.link/QnR5...

Dook Chase was mishandled by @foodnetwork.bsky.social w/ their competition show with him. His show on PBS has solid cooking techniques & is enjoyable to watch. Pati Jinich is on PBS too! This is why so many are ditching Food Network. #FoodNetwork #PBS #DookChase #PatiJinich

Before Halloween, it's time to think about Advent. I learned last year, when I ordered this in early November, that they always sell out by Halloween. So I'm not waiting this time! This Advent Calendar is good stuff. Give as a gift, or keep? mavely.app.link/muab...

This world is so inventive! Did you know there are stuffed animals in these shapes? Lobster, acorn, flamingo, robot, bat, meerkat, capybara, bobcat, sloth, black cat, and axolotl (what's that?) Unique gift (I get compliments!) PLUS you can WARM them up! mavely.app.link/SnTb...
