Apple, pumpkin, and pecan pie.

Apple, pumpkin, and pecan pie.

This year I forgot to add sugar in the pumpkin pie. It was not the dessert I was expecting, but it’s made for a tasty breakfast! #dessert #pie

TODAY'S THE DAY! It's one of the coolest dates of our lifetime.

Whether you go by month/day/year or day/month/year, if we write the date as one number, we will get a square number! Both sides can agree that today's date is a square date.

Started a new cleaning routine this August.
On Wednesdays, my husband and I do at least one small cleaning task (15-30 mins max).
It’s cool how much the little things make a difference!

Crowd source question:
What are your favorite Desmos activities for transformations? Are there ones with parabolas that you like?

Salad 2: arugula, tomato, parm, with a lemon vinaigrette. I made the dressing with 2 parts olive oil to 1/2 parts lemon juice and champagne vinegar. Added some finely diced cilantro and a pinch of salt. The cherry tomatoes were a bit past their prime so I marinated them in a bit of dressing. #salad

2025 is the year I learn to make salads.
First up: radicchio, arugula, orange, and some shaved ricotta salata. The dressing had oil, vinegar, pomegranate molasses, and Calabrian peppers. Somehow we had that stuff in the pantry. Got inspiration from #seriouseats - recipe in reply. #salad

Space for Silence 

With so many things demanding our attention all day, we can become used to having our minds filled at all times.  Even when we’re unwinding at home at the end of the day, we continue the pattern by consuming more distraction through music, videos, games.  While these things are not inherently bad, their presences mean it’s rare for our minds to have nothing to do.  

By putting all distraction aside, we can see what happens when we gift ourselves silence.  And such silences are useful, not only for recharging, but also for creativity.  

Try spending 10 minutes sitting quietly without distraction

"People love stories of turning points, wake-up calls, sudden conversions, breakthroughs.... We need stories in which getting where you’re goingβ€”individually or as a societyβ€”mostly happens step by step with maybe some backsliding, muddle, and stalling, not via one great leap."

This old pupper loves to play games. Our latest is one, two, three. He holds position and I toss three treats in different directions and he gets to find them! He’s a pro with finding treats one and two and usually needs a hint to find treat three (and it’s not always the last treat I toss!).
