The sun put on quite a show on Saturday morning. This was the apocalyptic scene from my bedroom window. Glad I’m not a sailor.

My #vegan salted maple ginger pie, a @nytimes.com recipe, took its place on the #thanksgiving dessert table last night. It was a hit! Not a lot leftover; everyone (omnivores included) loved it. First time using a springform pan. Gingersnap crust was easy. Secret ingredient: Japanese sweet potato.

Saw this in the freezer dept of our local supermarket. What fresh hell is this? How is a food "GLP-1 Friendly" beyond smaller portions? Is this just another excuse to charge more for less? Please fill me in.

Came home to find my man enraged. His nice Sunday at home listening to mellow music on Pandora was jolted when he heard an ICE recruitment ad shouting that our cities are dangerous, overrun by "illegals." I recognize the company operates in capitalism but this is too much. Cancelled our subscription
