Jess Liotta 🍄

10 more days ‘til our first JoCo cruise since 2019, and not gonna lie, I’m pretty fuckin stoked for this one

Sicilian donkey cart or bust for me (horse stans DNI). Probably name my donkeys after mushrooms in Italian like: Porcino, Morchella, Finferlo, etc

Korra the extremely fluffy orange tabby cat looks disdainfully at the camera while laying on a floral duvet

Korra looks deranged as she reaches one paw straight up and slashes for a stick. Her green eyes are especially wild looking

Both our pet mammals are into floofmaxxing actually.

Caper the sable silver silken windhound dog sits in a bright green field. Blurry other silkens are barely visible in the background

Caper the silken windhound stands straight with his exceptionally floofy tail and underfringe on full display. Some sunlight is dappling his face and the tall conifers in the background

Caper is the most floof. 90% floof by volume

Okay but is there something in the air, because my ~10 year old stove somehow crashed(?!) and rebooted tonight and THEN came back on and started flashing

“HELLO CHEF! 12:00”

At me

Like damn, there are probably people in her town who—in the year of our Gritty 2026!—are suspicious of HER because “Liotta” sounds awfully Foreign, y’know?

God for real tho. My estranged aunt transplanted herself and her kids/grandkids/great grandkids from Centralia WA to Idaho because “Washington was just getting too damn liberal.” (She’s from the Sicilian immigrant side of the family too, for additional horrible hypocrisy layers!)

I assumed this post was a fanciful jest and then I read more of the timeline and... geez louise

Back in college living at the House of Ill Repute, Greg (one of our rotating 5th housemates) invented the Shirazarita. Ingredients were $2 TJ's shiraz, triple sec, & margarita mix someone left after a Meatfest. Shirazarita tagline (which I say constantly to this day): "It's *almost* pleasant!"

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

It’s common in train station names where it means “the new one”, but apparently also can mean real / authentic / true etc!

They all came from different random spots but I believe those were being sold by Mame-Shin, a vendor in an upscale Osaka department store’s football-field sized basement food hall

Gotta be the Danish guy (being vague to not attract weirdos to Elizabeth’s mentions, but check the NYT)

It was a fun little scavenger hunt, keeping my eyes peeled for miscellaneous bean snacks! 😁

I read the first one 15.5 years ago while awake at all hours of the night nursing my first kiddo as a baby and was like “huh, I mean… ok, I guess”

Then I started the second one, got maybe a couple of chapters in,and was like “no. No, absolutely the fuck not, actually”

(a) He’s right

(b) Orthogonal to the point being made below… but I will waste no opportunity to tap my “Shoresy is what an actually (deep down) heartwarming, funny, slightly filthy, and above all GOOD Ted Lasso looks like” sign

That phrase came from KRUSTY THE FUCKIN CLOWN?!

Dude that looks superb

Man have I got this guy beat, mine was 3234499

Hell yeah kakapo!

The kids’ school uses Angora or Pelikan watercolors and they seem to work well!

One time I helped hijack a nuclear reactor. We didn’t get to keep it though.

(Ok, the hijacking was technically pretend, but the reactor was very much real)

Oh yeah this is exactly what you want! I walk over there for morning coffee with Caper a few times a week. It’s perfect

I have a sighthound and we do recreational lure coursing and maaaaaan, that rabbit sure was lucky it wasn't my boy or one of his pals on their tail

Yeah! And I’ve always got random ground meat and vegetables and rice kicking around so this is a solid option for a thing to throw together when I just need a food from what we have

For those unfamiliar, the basic idea is you make your spiced meat mix and then roll it super thin between two sheets of parchment paper, then roll THAT into tight logs and roast ‘til done. It unfurls just like doner kebab slices

Jess holds a planowl filled with thin “slices” of heavily spiced lamb beef kebab meat, tomatoes and cucumbers and lettuce, and lemony rice; also with a yogurt herb sauce and crumbled feta

Well, hell. The stupid viral oven doner kebab technique works like magic and is in fact extremely delicious. Damn, this is very very good

Caper the silver sable Silken Windhound sits politely at the end of his purple leash, in line at Portland Nursery after helping me pick out some flower seeds
