Eat well, laugh often, love abundantly. Deep in my 💆🏻‍♀️🐝👶🏻 era
When your 3yo sees you taking cough medicine and decides he wants to take medicine but he is both simultaneously too young for and also just doesn’t even need it, you get creative. Enter: a 2.5mL combo of simple syrup (viscosity) mixed with a bit of lime juice (opacity) in a dosage cup

These were, hands down, the most popular version of the truffles this year. I was told multiple times various variations on a theme of, “You can bring these any time” and “Actually don’t give me this recipe; save me from myself.” Note to self!
Pictured here only in prep and not presentation mode, but, I think these dark chocolate sea salt truffles look pretty tasty!

(guys im gonna be so over chocolate for months after this frfr)

After powering through the weekend, making food and driving through a terrible winter storm, twice, in service to family, I woke up this morning and just don’t want to do anything. The whatever illness my body’s been toying with is gaining ground, and my energy slumps as soon as I’m upright.

When you’ve been making chocolate desserts and have some melted chocolate left over but you just cannot have another bite, what do you do with your leftovers? It’s still good; I don’t want to throw it away! Probably should’ve made chocolate spoons for tomorrow’s coffee :(

Honestly, singing (singe-ing?) my fingertips on a 250*F sheet pan is probably the best prepping injury I could have today after the late night 3 had last night 🫩

Yesterday I cleaned out the fridge in preparation for all the things I’m making for the holiday events next week. 💪🏻 I wish the weekend was like two days closer to the holiday so I had more non-work time to prepare. I’m not sure why I decided this year I’d make truffles, but I have, so let’s go!

I know that stage crew folks aren’t as celebrated as those on stage, but I’m taking a moment to celebrate 10. As part of his school’s inaugural stage crew, I’m so proud of what he’s accomplished and how he’s stepped up! Staying late after school, wrangling kids, burns (singes really) from hot glue—

Shout out to the AO3 author who explicitly stated at the top that they wrote the fic using AI. I needed the impetus to close my laptop and get to bed, and nothing works quite as well to jolt me out of my endless reading than learning how you’ve tarnished your soul.

Made three kinds of truffles today! Peanut butter dipped in chocolate, peanut butter with chocolate chips, and sugar cookie, with chocolate chip on deck and who knows the dipping combo by the end.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

My latest batch of cider is fermenting sooo slooowly. Very different experience from my prior ciders. I think I’m gonna buy a hydrometer to see where it’s at just three days into the fermentation to see if I can get a good rate on it. Relieved that there’s airlock activity, even if small

I probably shouldn’t enjoy this as much as I do.

Started a new batch! Unfiltered Martinelli apple juice as a base, with half a packet of S04 yeast, cup of strong black tea for tannin, and some yeast nutrient. Ended up only using 3L juice to leave headspace for the krausen, as I don’t know what to expect with nutrient.

Ugh I wish I felt more secure in posting photos of my kids online because the photo I took yesterday after we built our first snowman of the year is iconic and I adore it so much but nooo I want to protect their online existence or something

Here’s the cropped snowman instead

ENJOY IT

Both invigorating & nerve wracking, submitting an application for an internal position. To celebrate & also distract from getting my hopes up, my husband, 10, & I did face masks! While we laughed so hard at how drippy they were, I’ll also never get this brand again. But, fun! (no 10 for you tho)
