How do you feel about very informative titles? Mostly, they amuse me.

No. You simply must be able to have good cookies. See alt text for my grandma's no bake cookie recipe
No Bake Cookies Mix in a pot: 2 c sugar 1/2 c butter 1/2 c milk 1/4 c cocoa bring mixture to a rolling boil for 5 minutes only stir in: 1/2 c peanut butter 3 c uncooked oats optional: ~1/2 c raisins, nuts, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch salt drop spoonsful onto waxed paper If you undercook, it won't set. Don't worry - it's delicious on ice cream If you overcook, it will set. Don't worry - it's delicious on ice cream

At Christmas time, my husband is the caloric devil incarnate. Look at the cookie list in the alt text. There are multiple dozens of each on my kitchen counter. I have no chance.

Squeaky is not impressed with the snow. On the other hand, look! The screens caught everything. No wet cat tracks in the house!

Windblown snow caking the walls of the cats' play yard, aka my screened-in porch. Windblown snow caking the walls of the cats' play yard, aka my screened-in porch.

21st century cloud factory, anyone? The taller ones was taken about 5 minutes after the first.

Mass of steam from a power plant backlit by the sunrise. Colors are peach, tangerine, and burnt orange.

Help! Can anybody give me some quick advice? I'm having the vapors about sizing this runner. I thought I wanted the panels all at 6" but now I'm thinking the sides should be about 3.5 (Golden Ratio). I pondered too long and now I'm in decision paralysis. Thoughts?

Even 6" panels Center 6", sides 3.5"

good morning. I'm glad I risked slipping on the ice for this.

Dawn clouds layered in pastels frame a leafless tree. I think Red Shouldered hawks use this tree as a resting spot while hunting.

2 recent sunsets from about the same spot. I love that stand of trees.

Here he is. He snuck off while I wasn't looking either to scare Cape Cod or to huff puffer fish. He's species queer.
Blue and orange stuffed dolphin, rather battered. Definitely not a shark.

Oops. I guess he ran off to predate somewhere else.

I'm going to be rude and send a 2nd pic. If anyone has earned this t-shirt, it's you & Princess.

I'm sorry that you're going through all that. Yucky place to be.

Here's Squeaky just making _sure_ that Freya is still attached to her paws.

May I offer a snoozing cat as partial recompense for your shitty day?

I concur with your bit ID. Squeaky, though, is special. Is he going for sleeping T-Rex here? Reverse rotisserie chicken (with a fashionable char finish)?

Full moon and clouds. Rainbow is an artifact of the camera?

My high school yearbook picture. Yes, I was deeply into Romanticism at that point. No makeup, per usual. I look so much like my great-grandmother that it's kind of weird.
