Just a normal, well-adjusted adult changing her porch goose into his October outfit. The October fit has dropped. Goose Willis remains committed to serving seasonal looks.

The air is cool and my Minnesotan is coming out in full force! I found this package of Lefse at Trader Joe’s last night. They aren’t good as homemade but they’ll do in a pinch. Top with butter and a sprinkle of sugar.

Night school era: activated. Baby’s first St Louis Community College class! Did I spend an unhealthy amount picking the right tote bag for class? Yes, yes I did.

I moved the porch goose because of the crazy wind and then forgot when I opened my blinds this morning. Ope, jump scare!

Went to Diane’s Place for “a pastry” and apparently blacked out at the bakery case. Scallion bun. Peach & raspberry danish. Ham & cheese croissant. CRAB RANGOON DANISH. Minneapolis, you beautiful carb-enabling menace. No notes. 10/10 would lose all self-control again.

Came to Minneapolis, paid my respects at Matt’s Bar, and ate a molten-cheese Jucy Lucy. If you burn your mouth you’re an amateur.

Goose Willis showed up in heart-shaped sunglasses, fabulous hat, and exactly zero interest in anyone’s unsolicited opinions. Also, The Cathole modeled everything but the pasties because cat fur is a bitch with self-adhesive. #porchgoose #yipeehonkyay

Sunday Funday: saw Trader Joe’s Passion Fruit Guava Bars and immediately decided they belonged in a margarita. Blended passion fruit, tequila, triple sec, lime, guava… then topped it with the actual fruit bar because moderation has never been my brand. Porch vibes elevated!

I saw one hummingbird. So I bought a hummingbird feeder. Then the hummingbirds actually showed up. Now I’ve become the neighborhood hummingbird concierge. I’m making fresh sugar water, obsessively cleaning feeders, and assigning them names like they’re tiny coworkers.

Limited-time pastries activate something primal in me. Nathaniel Reid Bakery said this lemon raspberry croissant is only here today and tomorrow, so naturally I treated it like an emergency.

She may look like she has unresolved issues, but underneath it’s pretzel crust, peanut butter mousse, dark chocolate ganache, and homemade whipped cream. All made from scratch and with only a few curse words. Don’t judge a pie by its piping.

I made banana bread for the first time. Turns out the secret ingredient is waiting until your bananas look like they’ve seen some things. I was prepared for a dense little loaf of disappointment, but instead I made something epic. Moist? Yes. Chocolate chips? Double yes!

If your brownie doesn’t leave fingerprints of chocolate on everything you touch, is it even trying? I did a semi-homemade Vietnamese brownie. Mixed in coffee, condensed milk, and white chocolate chunks into the batter. Then it is topped with a dark chocolate and espresso glaze

Bruce and I are emotionally preparing for the new Little House on the Prairie series by embracing our pioneer era. He’s got the bonnet. I’ve got the snacks. Neither of us plans on churning butter or surviving a winter in a one-room cabin.

Against all odds (and despite several moments of “that doesn’t seem right”), I successfully made a NYT Blackberry Yogurt Pie. Did I learn things? Yes.  Did I trust the process? Absolutely not.  Would I make it again? For that buttery Ritz cracker crust alone… absolutely.

The free library at the Y reminds me of summers at my grandma’s, reading books that 12 year Jen had no business reading. I learned a lot about the gold rush, homesteading, and English caste systems

The good news: Bruce and the porch goose wear the same size. The bad news: Bruce and the porch goose wear the same size. So here’s your exclusive sneak peek at next month’s porch goose outfit, modeled by The Cathole because apparently he’s available for freelance fashion work now.

I found a recipe that didn’t require a special trip to the grocery store, random niche ingredients, or a minor emotional breakdown. Peach brown sugar spoon cake. Pantry staples. Peaches. Vanilla ice cream. I’m either becoming a baker or this recipe is doing all the heavy lifting

The best part of finishing a crochet project is forgetting how much work it was. This Northern Lights-inspired blanket was fiddly, time-consuming, and occasionally tested my patience. And I am in love with it! And yet… I’m already excited for the next one.

Adult money is wild. As a kid, I thought being a grown-up meant paying bills and making responsible decisions. Turns out it means buying a neon sign that stores your Diet Coke and proudly labels them “fridge cigs.”

Some people go to happy hour for cocktails. I go for an unreasonable amount of dips. Hummus, walnut dip, and baba ghanoush from No Ordinary Rabbit. A spread so beautiful it deserved its own group photo before we demolished it. No regrets. Not even a little.

Me: I’ll just make a simple dessert. Also me: Creates a four-layer Dubai Chocolate Rice Crispy Bar featuring dark chocolate ganache, pistachio kataifi, pistachio cream rice crispies, and cocoa rice crispies. This is less a dessert and more a luxury condo development.

Everyone at the Forest Park Forever lunch looked elegant and sophisticated. I wore a homemade porch goose hat. Not a goose hat. A porch goose hat. There’s a difference. Whilst others served garden party chic, I served “Midwestern front porch icon with seasonal outfit changes.”

Current status: porch = tiny urban jungle oasis. Emotional status: deeply attached to these plants despite knowing full well I now have 10 new opportunities to disappoint Mother Nature. If keeping all of these alive becomes my summer personality, so be it.

Chewy really said “Happy Mother’s Day to the woman raising this absolute menace” and sent me a painting of The Cathole! Honestly though, this is wildly thoughtful customer service from a company that keeps my chonky feline tyrant stocked with his fancy diet food. 10/10 emotional manipulation, Chewy

Laying in bed and hearing weird noises and my thinking process is 1. I am about to get murderrred. 2. Something is definitely and terribly wrong with my house and it is going to be expensive. 3. Oh, I forgot that I started this dishwasher. Never mind, everything is fine.

I made a whole stack of crochet squares and The Cathole immediately filed a formal claim as “his emotional support pile.”

Meatless Monday! I made red curry lentils with sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and spinach. Unfortunately I made enough to feed all of Oak Hill Ave so it will be meatless Tuesday - Thursday too.
