Asparagus wrapped in cheese and summer sausage, clam chowder, and garlic bread made with kings Hawaiian.
Not good. When Aunt came out of rehab and wanted to reintegrate with family, it's what she knew how to make.
Aunt's gone, but the meal lives on.
what do you folks cook for Christmas Eve? We do tamales and chili in our family.
Cannot recommend Christmas Chili enough

It's come to my attention that some people have received AI-generated emails about collaborating with me and/or my agent. I have not and would never send out those emails. If you get one...it's NOT ME!

share a tv series youve watched from beginning to end more than once...

(Easy to watch all the episodes when there's like... eight. Still outlasted Police Squad.)

Simple is better
Play in one period
No complicated rules
Let the kids generate "house" rules
Fewer players is better than taking time finding a quorum
Like market signs, sometimes homemade versions of favorites work better that fancy ones. Still regret laying out for pricey Jenga

The students desire to play the games. I've removed students from the library if they can't coop and they return. One group organized their own tournament for a 10 minute soccer game. REWARDS.
Still working on cross-clique game play. Ran on contest on 3d print. How does it work?

Pratchett - Interesting Times.

I have no idea if a game could capture the humor. I could see an updated Where in the World is Carmen Santiago with Cultural Treasures instead of Locations.

Haven't had to. Admin and teachers appreciate 'free' supervision. Several of the teachers run games as clubs as well: Pokeman, D&D, Magic the Gathering.
If you want to run a Magic group, MagiKids (magikids.org) will provide kits: cards, deck boxes, playing surfaces. Curricula included

Mamdani is going to implement Shaker law. Furniture will be simple, utilitarian, and honest.
Mamdani is going to implement Shakira law. Hips will no longer be able to lie.
Mamdani is going to implement Shania law. That don't impress me much.

Hello friends. In the early days of Bsky, it was trans and other LGBTQ+ folk, along with s*xworkers, n s f w art folk, and Alf aficionados that built the platform—early refugees from X. Now @bsky.app made a change that auto blocks such posts. You must manually opt out.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

If you ever find yourself on I-5 near Central Point, OR, do yourself a favor and visit the creamery. Great people and great cheese.
Oregon Blue from Rogue Creamery

Semi-soft Oregon 🐄 🧀 with blue mold. Roquefort-style, crumbly but sticks to knife when cut. Typical light blue sourness, with balancing sweetness, suggesting fruit. Not the celebrated Rogue River (reviewed before), this is better to use in combinations of foods.

Bergamino di Bufala

Soft Italian 🐃🧀 with bloom rind. Oozes at room temperature, with the rind still firm. Somewhat like Robiola, it's rich, there's a gamey note from the buffalo milk and a tangy finish.

Don't want to brag, but got a couple of jump scares standing in the dark library about 6 feet inside the door during break.

Whose land this is I do not know
The statue fell down long ago;
No one will mind me stopping here   
To watch the sand o’er ruins blow.

My camel friend must think it queer   
To rest with no oasis near   
And precious little shade these days   
Gives Ozymandias, I fear.

(1/2)
This is just to say

I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert

and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand

Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old
Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

I hoped for one bright thing to put a smile on my face.

There's a smile on my face. Much love to dogbaby.
Don’t look now…but I think BlueSky has pulled off an old-school Internet magic: a family member passed & left behind a sweet baby husky on the other side of the continent…and BS angels came forward to relay her to me in time to get her out of the shelter.

I think my dogbaby’s coming home, guys!
