She hates that I make her do this every year, but she's just too cute 🐶 Don't worry, I paid her in treats.

Halloween Charcuterie Board

There are endless ways to assemble the perfect Halloween charcuterie board. I like to include a homemade showstopper like my Jalapeño Popper Mummies and plenty of fun options for both kids and adults.

I'm sorry, Marie. I'm not in Maine (yet!), but I feel the same. So disappointing.

Today's the fall menu launch at Starbucks, but they're not bringing back apple drinks 😩🍎 Luckily, I have make-at-home versions for all of them on my blog! The Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato is one of the most popular.

As reading declines, empathy seems to erode alongside it.

Mark Chadbourn @chadbourn.bsky.social · Aug 23

Only 16% of Americans read for leisure any day, down from 28% in 2004. Mainly driven by young people reading less. (US Census Bureau via CNN)

When it comes to reading a book during the year, the percentage has fallen from 61% in 1992 to 49%.

That's it, from now on I will exclusively be preparing meals using The Berenstain Bears Country Cookbook

A cookbook with the Berenstain Bears standing around a table, making baked goods, as they pour milk, crack eggs, roll dough, and mix batter.
