I'm so tickled by this menu created at Hive Book Arts in Evanston for their book club. It's so thoughtful and fitting for Levi and Hannah. And the napkin holders are BLUE Christmas ornaments 😭

I present, my husband's grandmother's stuffing recipe, beloved by all the brothers, which I have, for reasons unknown (I guess because I married the eldest??) become the keeper of.

The "dry bread cubes" should be seasoned stuffing mix. The apples are not, IMHO, optional.
Mom's Stuffing Recipe 1lb mild pork sausage 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 cup chopped celery 7 cups dry bread cubes 2 chopped apples, optional 1/2 cup chicken broth or milk 1 can cream of mushroom soup (condensed) Pan fry sausage, drain excess drippings (keep them for later in the recipe). Add sausage, apples, onion, and celery back to pan, cook until vegetables soften. In separate pan, mix drippings with 3 cups bread cubes. Cook until cubes become light brown in color. In small saucepan, mix soup and broth and cook until heated, not boiling, and smooth. Add remaining 4 cups bread cubes, combining all 3 mixtures together in large bowl. Stuff turkey or bake as desired.

Look at this absolute unit. She could be a smug, beautiful loaf in your home! Your very own sentient weighed blanket.

Just a reminder that this cat needs to live in someone else's house! She's probably fine with boy cats or dogs, she just doesn't like other girl cats. I'll drive her as far as OK or AR! Or like for sure anywhere in the Texas triangle!

I give you, the chimichanga enchilada style, and carne asada fries. (Not pictured: the Sonoran Dog.)
A dimly lit photo (probably due to the lighting in the restaurant) of a white oval plate on a dark wood table. On the plate is a large mound the shape of a burrito, smothered in red enchilada sauce and melted cheese. To the side, there is an inexplicable pile of shredded iceberg lettuce. A take out container of French fries covered in carne asada, melted cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Seen here in sunlight, this is a food usually only consumed after 2am.

Good news, she's back. She's worried I'm going to move again. Or maybe worried that she's not winning the race for Most Mom Lap Time? Who knows.

The Internet wants this book, and I want to give it to them.
A square of 9 individual graphics. There is text that reads Nice Jewish Wolf in bisexual flag colors. Images, in clockwise order, are a fat white woman with Betty Page bangs in a white tshirt and jean jacket, a Rosh Hashanah plate with apples and honey, the Chicago Bean, a white man with long green hair, an illustration of two people kissing against a graffiti wall, and two grey wolves snuggling.

I thought, after many focaccias influenced by @mostlybree.kitrocha.com , I should finally post one. This one is pesto, and it's delicious but not AS pesto forward as I wanted. I made a sandwich with heirloom tomato and fresh and, because obviously.

Jake is not on here to brag on themself so I must hype them:
This book is SO FUCKING GOOD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE NORMAL ABOUT IT. IT WILL CHANGE YOU.

Catherine Called Birdy hive, get ready. Jewish History nerds, get ready. Queers who had That One Friendship... Well, you get it.
Background graphic is a collage of shtetl-based images. Deal announcement reads: Ellen Cormier at Dial Books for Young Readers has bought world rights to Princess of the Shtetl, Stonewall Honoree Jake Arlow's Middle grade historical novel about an 11-year-old girl who dreams of being a scholar, but is forced into a child marriage when the Tsar's army begins kidnapping Jewish boys, told in diary entries in the tradition of Catherine Called Birdy. Publication is planned for spring 2027; Jim McCarthy at Dystel, Goderich and Bourret did the two book deal.

This is Pepper. She needs a home where her job is weighted blanket and not terrorizing every other cat in the house + making them ill. She's very territorial but extremely sweet with (adult) humans.
Do you live within driving distance of Houston + need a solo lap cat? I will bring her to you!

*whispers more* he looks like Kurt Cobain
A book aesthetic with bisexual colors that read Nice Jewish Wolf. Photos are a fat white woman with black hair wearing a jean jacket, apples and honey, the Chicago Bean, a white man with long green hair, two people kissing against a graffiti wall, and two wolves snuggling.

It was this rose goblin's 9th birthday yesterday so this morning I let her take as long as her heart desired for her morning ear scratches. I might be late to work.

So glad this absolute weirdo lives in our house.

This stray was NOT chipped but if anyone in the HTX or Texas triangle area wants to pretend she's their beloved family pet and come reclaim her, I'm open to that.

I regretfully admit that these two built me.
