Marti is doing REALLY well, he's finished his first month of antifungal medication and liver meds. He's a butthead, as is appropriate for a young pibble, but he loves to be my 60 lb. lap dog now too 🥰 Definitely best boy ever, 20+/10!

A boule of Horiatiko Psomi that clearly needed deeper scoring. Really slack dough so it does make a flatter boule but simple and delicious. It was a good first test of a new altitude, humidity level, and oven. #breadmaking

Why is it that the simplest #sewing projects are the ones that end up being a nightmare?? This simple sweatsuit was the biggest beyotch ever. It's cute tho, just don't ask to see the inside 🫣 The cropped top is a free pattern from www.sewmuchado.com and the capri joggers are from Apostrophe patterns

A terrible picture of the most wonderful dog ❤️ This is Martini, our new pup. Best boy ever, already! Rescue from the local shelter, and he's had a rough go but he's got such a sweet nature, we're gonna do just fine together

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, # 571

THE REAL ART OF THE DEAL

In hindsight, it seems obvious that the final conquest of the United States came about, not as a result of war and invasion, but simply because so many notable Americans were purchasable. History books, if any legitimate ones get written, will someday explain how those in leadership roles, both in and out of government, all had a price. Which, when you think about it, makes a heartbreaking kind of sense. From its inception, our national culture has been predicated on the ruthless pursuit of profit. Sure we all enjoy movies, books and TV shows that portray people putting principles ahead of personal gain. But it might be time to admit that in the real world, grandiose patriotism has always been a mask used to hide banal self-interest. Regardless, the sale is complete. Cash, not Kalashnikovs, sealed the deal.

Beautiful, and I'm sure delicious too! I decorated a focaccia once but my artistry was weak 😅

Because I think it's really important to use what we have right now. Pearl barley that's been languishing in my pantry, canned portabella mushrooms, spinach that was aging rapidly. With a little dried thyme, white pepper, salt, olive oil, and just a bit of lime juice to brighten it up.

I do love a good falafel. On naan because I never have mastered pita, with random spring mix greens, tomatoes, and tahini sauce. Doesn't fix a damn thing but it makes me feel better for the moment.

The finished product is a lovely pot of posole. I'd never made it with pods, only ground chile powder. Pods all the way now!

Pork all browned off. Chiles, bay leaves, Mexican oregano, broth, onion, and garlic added, and brought to a simmer.

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is definitely a cactus for me, I love and miss AZ so much-I hope to be back there for good soon.

Sunrise on the beach. Camping on the beach and waking up to a sunrise like this was probably once in a lifetime, and I cherish it.

Some holiday baking. Koulourakia Lathiou, Melomakarona, and very generic sugar cookies. Next year I'm back to the Smitten Kitchen recipe. These aren't BAD, but they're only ok. Also note my poor shaping on those, the dough was frustrating to work with so I just said Eh 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rhesus macaque, one of a colony in Silver Springs Florida. They don't belong there but that doesn't seem to stop them. I suppose we could deport them too.

Why are the tastiest foods always so ugly?? 😝 Biscuits and gravy with the requisite Tabasco sauce. It ain't pretty but it's pure Southern comfort food

Cuban tamales are so good, and if you struggle with Mexican tamales, they are much easier and fast since the masa and filling are mixed.

Picture of some of the gnomes I made 3-4 years ago. The standing gnomes were a proper bitch! I try to make each one different, to suit the recipient.

Hippie gnomes from last Christmas, they were still in progress, hence the clips everywhere. Also, may your deity of choice continue to bless those clips, because I cannot function without them.

As I posted yesterday, I'm new here, figured I'd share some of the things I enjoy. My current favorite is sewing, but I also like to cook, and I was an avid photographer for a while. I'm a HHA, and this is a snapshot of one of about 20 gnomes I made last Christmas for clients, and for family.

It looks really Zen here, I think I like it ❤️ This was another Zen place, I'd like to go back now. The place, and the time, before everything got so crazy
