How about on the 45.4% of California that is federal land? If he wanted it done he could have ordered it done.

This is the Covid victims’ memorial rock in my hometown, Woodbridge, New Jersey. They found this rock while fixing the sewer and I guess they decided it would do as a memorial. Hi mom, I miss you, hope you’re enjoying the preternaturally large sewer rock the township dedicated to you. 🙄

That has to be it. I haven’t eaten a chain cookie in a while, because I bake perfectly cromulent cookies at home, but I vaguely remember Mrs. Fields being similarly mushy.

Nothing Bundt Cakes is disgusting. They all taste exactly the same, like sugary shortening. They’re giving 2005-era cupcakes, but make it Temu. I do not understand the hype.

Why are they always so underbaked? Am I the last person on Earth who doesn’t like to eat raw cookie dough? Bake my $8.99, 7300-calorie diabeetusbiskit all the way through! So gross.

The biggest argument I ever had with a German person was over the difference between toast and bread. (The bread used for toast is ONLY used for toast in Germany, and never for, say, a delicious egg salad sandwich.)

Stacked enchiladas. Tortillas, salsa, meat or cheese, casserole dish.

Plot twist: chilaquiles. Simmer the fried chips in the salsa (smooth kind not chunky), then top with cheese, sour cream/crema, egg, meat, etc.

P.S. Changing the filter setting in the Instagram app doesn’t actually make it work. And that’s why I’m here on BlueSky.

Oh, imagine that! (I’m not a Democrat, and I’m not a Republican. Believing in politicians is like thinking the stripper likes you.) I’ve been an information management professional for more than 25 years and I believe information, even information you don’t like or support, should be available.

Again, I don’t care how you voted, because it’s my firm believe that exactly zero politicians give a damn about you, me, or anyone else but themselves… but no complaining about the consequences once it happens.

The ICE raids in Kern County will have a chilling effect as undocumented people hide. The price for that is your kids’ Cuties or Halos going way up in price as the fruit rots on the trees. This isn’t academic or conjectural—it happened in Georgia in 2011 after HB87, and again in California in 2017.

I don’t care about your thoughts on immigration. But if you voted for the President on his campaign to lower grocery bills, know that his immigration plans are in exact opposition to that goal. Like it or lump it, everything you eat from oranges to beef depends on cheap immigrant labor to produce.

I saw the post in UFies Slack. I’m so sorry. Sending hugs and a shoulder if you want it.

It’s a trap. As soon as the spare human reaches down to pet me, I’ll claw the crap out of his hands. And then purr and continue writhing. –Dominique the barn cat

Recently cleared my hundredth session doing translations for refugees with @tarjimly.bsky.social. The stories I have heard (which are strictly confidential) would break your heart. I am glad to be able to put my language skills to use for a good cause.

Salt the tomatoes and leave in a strainer to remove excess water. Finely chop herbs. Mix everything except the eggs together. Brush slices of sourdough with oil and grill or toast. Put tartare in ring mold, create divot, put coddled egg yolk in divot. Eat with gusto.

Cut a cross in the bottom of the tomato, blanch 1 min in boiling water, drop in ice water. Coddle four eggs 1 min in boiling water, drop in ice water. Peel tomato, remove seeds, cut into strips, then dice. De-seed pickle and chile, peel shallot, dice finely. (cont’d.)

I just got tired of FB and the incessant algorithmic rage bait stuff, having to hunt to get updates from my friends… and it was nice to take a break for my mental health. But rumours of my demise are wholly unfounded.

One of the reasons rural Americans don’t support universal healthcare is because they end up paying for something they can’t access. Without doctors and hospitals in rural areas there’s little point in paying taxes for healthcare. Subsidize rural practice and it might get easier to pass.

We called this æblekage med rasp (“apple cake with breadcrumbs”), but the Finnish name, pappilan hätävara (“parsonage’s emergency dessert”) is way better. It’s homemade applesauce with toasted buttered rusk crumbs. Often it’s served in individual glasses, but my family always made it in a loaf pan.

When the kid asks you to make tomato tartare, you make tomato tartare. Even in January. 🤦🏼‍♂️ / Quand l’enfant te demande une tartare aux tomates, faut fait une tartare aux tomates. Même en janvier. 🤦🏼‍♂️
