Things I planned to bake this weekend = 3. Soups I planned to make this weekend = 2. Weekend results = 1 soup. #ElderCare

Is it trash bins or is it thunder...? I did water today so probably thunder.

At least one, maybe both of the formerly feral kittens proceeded to steal one of my mom's cherries, carry it downstairs and viciously maul it all over the white tiles... my welcome home from work surprise.

Happiness is when the 16 year old ball of teen hormones and angst takes his mom's phone and talks with Aunty for an hour :).

Working AC for the first time since Friday night. Ninja_Mom and the 2 formally feral 4-legged beasties have perked right up.

Ballot saga update. It arrived and is being counted, so apparently, I stressed over the lack of tracking updates along the way for nothing. I'm still glad I stood in line for my postmark. #CivicDuty #RightOthersWonForMe

Took my ballot to post office Thursday afternoon. Stood in line for it to get postmarked. Why does the ballot tracker not have it as "recieved" by postal service?

Happiness is when your college sister by choice calls to tell you her 1 year scans are completely clear. Particularly since she was radio silence for a few months.

Making a second batch of vanilla pudding for our delayed Mother's Day. First batch didn't give me enough layers in the banana pudding. So final assembly will happen tomorrow morning. #PlansAndBranches #ElderCare

Finally found fresh rhubarb in the store today. I now have a strawberry rhubarb blueberry crisp cooling on the stove. Blueberries are a new add to my usual recipe but they needed to be used so... Also I bake my crumble topping first so it stays nice and crisp after assembly and final baking.

Stayed up too late reading Michelle Sagara's latest! Love this series so much. One of my early discoveries from the long gone Luna imprint.

I have food, plenty of food at home. Some already cooked some needing to be cooked and at the moment I just want to blanket fort with a pint of ice cream. No real reason. I just want someone else to adult for me for a bit. #ElderCare #DayJob

Thing I discovered today that I really shouldn't is a Lindt chocolate shop in walking distance of where I work. And I met my new BFF there...

Spotted: femme presenting individual wearing what appeared to be a plush black velour robe, black nylons, black platform shoes model walking their way out of the subway station to get into a waiting black suburban with a name placard in the front windshield passenger side. Oh the places a mind goes.

I know I just made 2 batches of cookies this weekend but I feel like I need the smell of live yeast, browning butter, and warm flour. *looks around at world* no idea why...

I need a vacation from adulting, AND I don't want to play catch-up when I return.

The very useful links in digital books are fabulous for folx who read on their phones, computers, or web browser enabled devices. They are repeat torture for #ElderCareCaretakers . I can't count the number of times I have had to be helpdesk so my parent can read the book whose title she clicked...

*frustrated scream* to nag or not to nag that is the question... #ElderCare #ParentingMyParent ok back to the grindstone.

So... I might have discovered I have 4 copies of Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh... MMPB copies. Apparently, not unpacking and organizing my full print collection in years has consequences... Found a couple more @authornalinisingh.bsky.social duplicates too...

There is a road leading into a nice housing area. The road has a landscaped center medium, room for cars to park on the outer curbside, and space to drive. One car out of all of the parked cars was up on bright yellow plastic blocks... no wheels to be seen. I have questions! #UrbanLiving #NotMine

Recipe the second was also a success. I riffed off an Japanese inspired beer stew, added mushrooms, onions, and rice wine vinegar. Need to change one more thing I think and it will be even better.

E_bookpushers @e-bookpushers.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Recipe the first was a success. Sheet pan beef donars based on the NYT Cooking Recipe. Made some roasted peppers and onions to go into the base of the pita instead of leaving the vegetables raw (catering to the other person I am feeding). I did have micogreens and chopped tomato for freshness.

Picked two new to me recipes for meal prep this weekend. Should also keep the place nice and cozy, at least the kitchen. Lol. #Cooking

It pays to be nice to your neighbors. Over this period of snow, they saved me several hours with the digging out. He and his son helped me chip up the ice, snow, and snow compacted to ice behind my car on front of my garage. I did do most of their sidewalk. I miss my AZ high desert. #WinterStorm

Hair stylist no showed today, we were already on Plan B due to an earlier call out. Plan C was to take Mom back and I would manage my hair. Yeah... that person called out. So I think I am going to put on a pot of beans and angry bake cookies. We had already undone previous styles. #WinterStormComing

Made "Orange Soup" for my mom. Called that because of the color. Roasted tomatoes, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, and cubed butternut squash with salt, pepper, and garam masala seasoning from Penzay's. Didn't have room on the sheet pans so the onion was sauted in the soup pot with same 1/?

My formerly, feral kittens surveying the room from their repose on top of a bookcase. It will be 2 years since I brought them home in 8 days.

Bob, a grey tabby with brown tones laying on far left. Rain, a grey tabby with white tones laying on far right. Two fake potted flowering bushes between. Cats and bushes are on top of wooden bookcase with top shelf fully in frame. Books are collectors editions.

We still have no power... first restoration was by 1100, then 1500, now the update is "reassessing conditions". I do not know what that is but it doesn't make me happy.

I am catching up on Figure Skating... and it seems to me that this year's batch of Ice Dance judges really do not like the mandatory patterns/step sequences based on the levels awarded...
