Showed the bf a socmed post of LoTR wrapping paper some absolute GENIUS had made, and he found it online and ordered me some for my bday...along with (shown at top) his own custom creation. Paper Source eat your heart out bc nothing can ever beat #Boromir and #ZohranMamdani
Two rolls of wrapping paper partially unfurled. At bottom, a repeating pattern of the well-known frame from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring wherein Boromir dissents from the Council of Elrond's position that the one ring is a phenomenally dangerous object which must be destroyed at all costs and claims that in fact "It is a gift to the foes of Mordor." Said wrapping paper pattern also includes, meme-text-style, "IT IS A GIFT" as well as a sprinkling of multicolored confetti, which is frankly an exquisite touch.

And while purchasing this paper, bf realized he could get CUSTOM paper printed with whatever he liked, so the upper roll features a repeating headshot of Zohran Mamdani wearing his signature high-wattage smile.

FYI: if you're reno-ing a smallish room in a house previously occupied by A Dipshit, it will take two hours to remove the baseboard quarter-round. Because they used 2" RING SHANK NAILS at 60* to toenail it to the subfloor. Is ... is it load-bearing quarter round? Killllll meeeeee.

Recently did a 24-page admissions brochure for Alabama School of Mathematics and Science, and threw in a set of shiny new icons to use for socmed/internal docs/whatever. I'm waiting for someone to get the nerdy lil easter egg on this one.

Doing some PC cleanout and ran across photo evidence of the time I decided a regular pie lattice was boring so I hunted thru cookie cutters to find shapes that would "tile the plane" and ended up with yoda heads and squirrels.
A just-baked cranberry-apple pie on a stove. Instead of a regular slotted crust covering or a normal lattice, here we see the infinite creative possibilities of using one's cookie cutters instead. Thus, the top crust of the pie is comprised of a ring of squirrels (not sure what the heraldic position would be called here -- perhaps "sejant erect"?) and a central medallion of five Yoda heads. 

Man, I don't even know. It seemed reasonable at the time.

Takes 3 hours but worth it: risotto with brown butter, fresh thyme, pinot gris, roasted garlic, sauteed leek and artichokes, and asiago, topped with butter-thyme shrimp. For bonus points, get to your inlaws' a half hour away and realize you LEFT THE WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING POT SITTING ON THE STOVE WTAF

Chewy molasses oatmeal cookies with a lil hint of toasty sesame. On the left with dark chocolate chips, shredded unsweetened coconut, and poppyseeds; right with chopped walnuts and dried cranberries. Trust me and do a pinch of flaky salt on the coconut-choc-poppyseed ones before baking.
Just-baked chewy oatmeal cookies stacked in a box.

My First Royal Icing (TM). Now if only they'll dry before I drop something on them or the cat decides to "investigate."
A bunch of round sugar cookies on wire baking racks. Each one is frosted with marble-swirled royal icing in red, pink, green, and lime. FESTIVE.

I LOVE THIS SO FREAKING MUCH. It is HEFTY, it's about 4.5" long, it has more clearance from the spool to the floor (my 25yd double-stick tape refills just barely fit; they DON'T fit in my steel Penco dispenser), full rubber pad on base for stability, and LOOK AT HER. From store.parksconservancy.org!
A bright red enameled steel desktop tape dispenser made to look like the Golden Gate Bridge. Behind it is its packaging box, which is golden yellow with a delightfully vintage-style illustration of the product.

FYI just discovered that the Golden Gate National Park Conservancy sells historical reproductions of the chambray button-down issued to Alcatraz prisoners, so obvs got one for kid for xmas (and an enameled steel Golden Gate tape dispenser for myself). Support your national parks!
Historical reproduction of Alcatraz prisoner's chambray shirt, and an enameled-steel replica of the Golden Gate Bridge which is ALSOOOO a tape dispenser. Fabulous. https://store.parksconservancy.org/

Disappointed that The Guardian put out a shopping list of "Best Black Friday Deals" and double-disappointed that over half are from union-busting employee-abusing shitshow Amazon. (List also includes problematic non-faves like HomeDepot and LuluLemon.) Boooooo, Guardian. Enjoy those affiliate $s.
