Road-tripping my kid to college and paying attention to the signs.

Just finished reading this. My daughter asked me why I wanted to read something depressing when we were on vacation. Because it allowed me to pay attention.

I normally bake something for every holiday, but lately I'm having trouble with inspiration. So, it's eggs and random treats for now.

Easter lamb bread in plastic packaging, six colored eggs, mostly pinks, cotton candy Peeps, Dove chocolate bunny in gold foil, caramel eggs, and robins egg candy

My Pi Day contribution. Peanut butter mousse with fresh apple topping.

Pie with dark, crumbly crust in a Pi dish (with digits of Pi circling the border) and half inch pieces of redapple across the top in attempted herringbone pattern.

Nonpolitical, fun post. Dress has been boxed up for 25 years and somehow still fits. I hadn't realized my mom still had it in storage.

I'm not on Meta anymore, so y'all get my airport pics. It's a break from politics, anyway. Yes, it's a double. Airport rules.

When I have severe anxiety, I bake bread. I've done that today, and I've made pomegranate ice cream.

Portland last weekend. Too damp to burn.

I haven't seen any antifa in Portland so far, but I did find a place that serves clam chowder with whole clams in it. Is this terrorism? 😯

I'm not one to encourage dissociation, but here. Just for a minute.

I bake a lot of cakes (for fun), but I prefer eating pie. Pic is last weekend's chocolate cake with chocolate orange ganache and Italian buttercream.

My friends from the old site liked my baking pics. Here's some hot cross buns for ya Easter.

Daughter said that I look like a business person, mall mom, or someone who would order a caramel mocha. "But in a good way, I mean." Just 'cause I put my hair up today. 🙄

As promised to my followers from the bad place. Today's baking therapy: yuzu-sesame rolls and pumpkin-goat cheese-apple stars, both with a smidge of candied ginger.

Anxiety baking = chocolate cake for dinner. Yes, everything from scratch.

Those of you who knew me from the bad place know that I write and I bake. When I'm anxious, I bake a lot. Here we have the weekly sourdough and some cassava chocolate chip cookies. I baked a so-called "keto" bread, but it's really an omelette at heart.

Ooh, I like this! I had to do it twice. "Mythical" was my second word.

My husband would have been 51 today. We lost him to cancer at 44, but we still make his favorite cupcakes. He made me a better person, and he set a loving example for our daughter. #fuckcancer
