Every year after Thanksgiving I take ALL the left overs and make a hearty soup. Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, vegetables, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and a broth starter. If it’s left over, it goes in. Turns into this! Delicious.

My current joy is pulling a Polar Express, and anytime my wife buys something for Christmas for the first time… I lift it up in the store and in my deepest voice I say: “The First Cookies of Christmas!” Or puzzle, present, blanket, ornament, dog treat, etc.
Straight to the naughty list I go.

These dogs know this pancake is for them. However they don’t know that it too hot to eat so they’re giving me the impatient whine and whimper.

My wife and I went out for Mexican food this evening. She clearly just wants to watch the world burn.

This furlough thing is starting again to feel like the covid days. Lots of baking. Today I made two apple cobblers with crumble topping. Picked up the apples while enjoying the Shenandoah Skyline Drive this past Sunday.

You all liked the French Bread I made earlier in the week… So I now present the Cinnamon Raisin Walnut Bread I made today. Omg. Toasted with a smidge of melted butter. Heaven!

For those of you interested. Here is my wife making the “fake” vomit for her high school biology students to test. This vomit needs to have sugars, starches, and no proteins. We giggled the whole time making this slop.

I was oddly amused by running head first into the reality of getting older. This is my actual expression trying to read the instructions, as well as the instructions I was trying to read. #GettingOld #NeedReadingGlasses

I’m making stuffed peppers tonight for dinner. I used to cut the tops off and put the filling into the pepper. Now I cut the peppers into “nacho chips” and top the peppers off. Family loves it 100 times better. Easier to serve and eat!

I picked up this gem at Barnes and Noble over the weekend. It spans decades, 80's and up! It's like an anthology. A Gen-X dream. So much nostalgia. I remember enjoying so many of these comic when they were originally published.

My wife is a High School Science Teacher. This is the Respect Agreement that her students helped to create. I had it turned into a poster and mounted. It’s pretty great. Accountability is a very good thing. :)
