No plume was visible from the Falcon X impact with the moon tonight, but she continues to be incredibly beautiful.

Saw Tori Amos tonight for the 11th time. I’ve only missed two of her tours that came to Dallas since my first one in 1996 💜

I extended my free will further to finally mix up some sourdough starter. We will see what happens, but hey I finally did it and that makes me happy. I got this jar a year ago to make a starter, and then 2025 happened fast and furiously.

It was a very stationery Christmas for me…I got a beautiful Soolla project bag AND pouch for all my supplies, along with a Tom’s Studio Wren pen. I got the Lumos last year for Christmas and the Wren is equally amazing.

I always think of this meme!

Meme with drawings of JFK, Stalin, two strippers, and JFK and Stalin as strippers. Text says:
With the Oxford comma: we invited the strippers, jfk, and stalin.

The outside is crispy and chewy and the inside is pillowy soft and fluffy. This is maybe the best bread I’ve ever made…definitely a new favorite recipe.

Said book and said tea. The tea tastes like if a Biscoff cookie was a black tea, it was perfect with some half and half and vanilla sugar.

The result: easily the best brownies I’ve ever made. They are so fudgy and rich I thought my kid’s eyes were going to pop out of his head 😂 I added a handful of bittersweet chocolate, a handful of semi-sweet, and finished with a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt. Perfection.

I experienced a peak mom moment today: I was gifted with a thing my son made at school and don’t know what it is 😅 I think it is meant to be a ring/jewelry dish, which is what I plan to use it for. But whatever it is, I will cherish it.

The moon was so beautiful and golden last night right up until it hit about 32 degrees or so…I gasped out loud and ran for my equipment when I saw it! This is just one frame…I can’t wait to stack and process what I captured.
