In which there’s an update. Yawn. I’ve been watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Disenchantment lately. Fun TV. Today in cooking, I packed chili, a baked potato, and sour cream and cheddar into a bento for lunch. Turned some beans leftover from making the chili into refried beans, and made Taco Bell-style red sauce, and put […]
In which these are my go-to pizza sauces! Since I got into #breadin5, I’ve been making a lot of pizza. Here are my favorite pizza sauce recipes. Tomato Sauce 14 oz can tomatoes 3 – 4 garlic cloves olive oil balsamic vinegar salt & pepper red pepper flakes Blend until smooth. If you don’t have […]
In which… yeah, idk. It’s a new year. Arbitrary date. Whatever. I sleep a lot because what else is there to do! Still scrolling Twitter and Instagram and watching massive amounts of streaming TV. Still not reading or knitting or painting. My mending basket looks exactly the same as it has forever. I cook, work, […]

In which I’ve put the fall leaves window clings up, and am looking forward to cardigan weather! Not much to report, really. I’m just blogging because it was on my to do list and I’d rather do this than run the vacuum. I work, I hang out at home. That’s about it. I stepped into […]
In which it’s my day off. He burned another personal day to sleep in, which is his choice, of course, but I’m still aggro about the year he didn’t have any time off left when I wanted us to go on a trip together, so I rolled my eyes at him. Like, he never does […]
In which I picked the first fully-ripe beefsteak tomato of the year yesterday, and used it in a sandwich today. Yum.
In which saving teeth is far from cheap. The pandemic started and I kept getting money. Not complaining, but it was a bit baffling: the stimulus check, then two aunts and an uncle sent cash, bless them, and then a Minnesota tax refund I’d forgotten about filing for appeared. All told, a few grand. And […]
In which too many are not, for a variety of reasons I won’t get into, taking this shit seriously. Half the customers in the cheese shop these past few weeks have been tourists. White people on vacation to wine country, visiting tasting rooms, hotels, restaurants, and my place of work in sleepy little rural Oregon, […]
In which THERE WAS AN EXPENSIVE DENTAL PROCEDURE. Last week, on a whim, I called the dentist across the street from the one that keeps postphoning my appointments, and they got me in TWO HOURS LATER. This place doesn’t take my insurance, but my insurance doesn’t cover most of what I need anyway, so what […]
