I’ve been defaulting to “racist pedophile rapist”

There’s also a significant increase in heart attacks at the start of daylight savings time

And here the hat is making it’s public debut featuring @rinn1791.bsky.social

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.

Did a purchase the pattern from Needle & Skein so that my money goes to people who need it? Yes

Did I follow said pattern? Not even a little bit.

New Year’s Eve pork and sauerkraut recipe on top of new year’s pretzel recipe

My constant #kitchen companion is The Book - a compilation of recipes from my dad’s family, many of whom I never got to know. My copy was gifted to me a few months after I met my dad - once he realized I was a #kitchenwitch just like his mom.

Today I’ll make her pork and sauerkraut. #tradition

Pans of Thanksgiving food and gravy

Is anyone else so competitive that Thanksgiving dinner is a competition?

This morning I made 4 pies and 3 casseroles to take to 2 dinners. I brought nothing home.

Two weeks til mine!

It is now November.

IT IS THE MONTH OF MY BIRTH. PREPARE YOUR TRIBUTES.

Microfiber, slime, unsealed terracotta,

I could continue, but they all result in the same

Gotta love when the algorithm recommends a post from one of your professors almost 2 decades after having his class.

How to scare monsters 🎃

Yuuuuup. My friends are my kids’ aunts and uncles. Their kids are my kids’ cousin.

Also, a cousin of my cousin is also my cousin.

Reminding us to drink water and take meds is advice.

Being kind also applies to one’s self. I hope you feel better soon

I was today years old when I realized how easy it is to change the page size in Word.

Also, I have entered the stage in life/work where that is a game changer for me.

Goodbye 8.5x11. Hello 11x17!

A crocheted tooth hanging on a door knob.

My oldest inherited her dad’s bad teeth, and has to have her front teeth pulled tomorrow.

So tonight we #crochet a tooth shaped pocket so that the #toothfairy doesn’t have to venture into Barbie battlefield that is her bedroom.

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

This is actually Dean’s heaven, not cruising around solo in Baby

A plastic food storage container with a handle on each side and a mint green lid full of chicken noodle soup sitting on an orange plaid table cloth. The container has two dot eyes and a small smile

A white bowl full of homemade chicken noodle soup on an orange plaid tablecloth. A silver spoon is sitting in the bowl. The chicken soup is the perfect example of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. An onion, celery, grated carrots, rotisserie chicken and wide egg noodles plus my combination of both my grandmothers’ “secret” ingredients. Perfection

Each #soupseason I like to change things up a bit. One year I only followed #recipes. The next I only improvised. There was the year my husband baked bread to go with each soup.

This year we have Gus, our new designated to-go container.

Maybe he read an article about Pinkertons fighting rednecks and got confused?

*get wrecked

Bluesky. I’m begging for an edit button

My mother has eaten the same 3 meals, every day, for 60 years, and my grandpa used to leave for work early enough that if the car broke down he could walk and still make it on time… but yeah, it’s the Tylenol

A mostly cloudy sky with one defined ray of light breaking through the clouds

The sky this afternoon was doing all the things.

I just got an email that my daughter was accepted into a 5 day a week pre-k program! And the best part is it will cost us nothing. I am so grateful
