Gentlebeings of the Internet, I give you Hopalong, furthermore known as Sir Hop-A-Lot, also called Hops. (The Cat Distribution System decided to deliver him via a brewery and he’s a leapy little fella so here we are.)

“Oh that’s so cute, he’s perched on my shoulder purring”, I thought. And then he went to sleep and y’all I may need an intervention.

We have been visited by the Cat Distribution System.

I saw the most cursed thing while Birk shopping. You kinda can’t tell from the picture but the footbed is also fur-lined. It’s like an Ugg fucked a Birk and this is the result.

A dark gray pair of Birks with silver buckles. The inside of the straps and the footbed are lined with fake fur that’s slightly darker than the leather.

Today: moved Mx19 (and all their STUFF) from one dorm to a different dorm. About 5.5 hours, 18.5k steps, 6.2 miles / 10 kM. Woof.

There are days in May, in Oregon, where the absolute fucking perfection of everything just slaps you in the face and says, “pay attention, shit head”. Today was one of those days.

Dinner tonight is wild-caught Oregon albacore, seared over hickory charcoal, with a rojo chimichurri and a 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot noir. Did I mention how much I love grilling season

Best part of this cleanup: I was visited by a very friendly, extremely majestic Maine coon, who welcomed pets and purred for me. Had what looked like a pet door key on their collar, hoping I get to see them again soon.

Our Thanksgiving was good — hope yours was too!

Our charcuterie — a plate of crackers on a shelf, over a tabletop with a plate of cheese, several spreadables, a platter of olives, a bowl of snack mix and a partially-cut-off meat tray.

An uncooked turkey, trussed, with some herbs barely peeking out of the cavity. The turkey sits on a roasting rack, inside a roasting pan.

The same turkey, a few hours later — it is now golden brown.

My plate — featuring (clockwise from top) a roll, a pile of mashed potatoes, some turkey, some stuffing, some spinach, and a slice of canberries.

My approach to social media in general, summarized in a single brilliant panel.

A single Calvin and Hobbs panel. Hobbes is peeking around the left side of a tree trunk, saying "Maybe she wasn't paying attention to us." while Calvin is peeking around the right side, saying "That's inconceivable! Who wouldn't be interested in everything we do?!"

Love having extended periods of time off during the holidays exactly so I can do elaborate cooking stuff that otherwise there’s never time for. Stuff like this:

A bowl of short rib French onion soup, with a large Gruyère-covered croutons sunk in it, covered with chives.

I took advantage of the (kinda weird, ngl) Tuesday holiday to do some stunt cooking: braised oxtails, over mash, with a pan gravy.

A large white serving bowl, flanked by fork and knife, on a harvest-themed placemat. Inside the bowl is a gravy drenched mound of mashed potatoes, with a large braised oxtail on top of that.

One of my peak summer dishes, the grilled chicken Caesar. Chicken was marinated in lemon juice and salt for ~6 hours, seasoned w/fresh cracked black pepper & a garlic rosemary herb blend, & reverse-seared over a mix of regular charcoal and hickory. Served over romaine & a house made Caesar dressing.

Last weekend, I (assisted by TheWife) _finally_ hung up a barn quilt my dad had gifted us a couple years back. I wanted to surprise them when they got to our house, so no pictures ...until now. Check it out, I'm very happy with this addition to our house!
