If you see me on here it's probably because I'm avoiding homework. But also I like a lot of things and to talk about them.

I didn't feel like cooking a big deal meal on Thursday, but I can't turn down a bag of cheap potatoes so I made us some 1554 beef short rib with mashed potatoes.

Happy Thanksgiving from me and these two chuckleheads.
A photo of two cats sitting on an IKEA divorce special chair. The one on the left is lying down, Dexter is a grey and brown striped tabby with short hair. The one on the right is seated, Maurice is a grey striped and white medium haired tabby. They are both ridiculous, in this instance ridiculously cute.

One of my cats has to make sure the water is wet in his bowl before drinking it.

It's our first #caturday together! I think these boys are settling in quite well.

Oh and timing

We brought home two kitties yesterday! While one has stashed himself away underneath all the things, one has found the cat TV. Meet Maurice.

Tonight I am thankful that NA beer can michelada. It's nice to drink a ridiculous tourist drink sometimes.

Made the Quincy's Tavern mushroom and gnocchi soup tonight. (With bonus broccoli that needed to get used.) Whooo. That's a beautiful, filling soup. Low energy make if you use presliced onions and mushrooms.

I caught the bags of cranberries at Costco 2 days after they were packed. So of course I made my house smell delicious and I'll put these up in the freezer. Should have plenty through Xmas.

Breakfast fried rice for dinner. (And to be frozen for when I need to say fuck it I just want to heat something up. )

Got any tips on better hawk photography? I mustered this chonk.
A really not good photo of a juvenile? chicken hawk (cooper's hawk) sitting like a chonk on my fence watching bunnies in the yard.

Since we're all talking about Gatsby again, I wanted to restate my hearty recommendation for Kyra Davis' The Great Mann. It's a Gatsby retelling that takes place in the famed and real Sugar Hill neighborhood in LA. The stakes change when Gatsby is a Black man. A well done story. #booksky
A photo of the book cover for The Great Mann by Kyra Davis shows a Black man in profile with a red banner across his face with an art deco pattern on it, to the left a painting of the Hollywood sign, then the right and bottom are a photo of a street in LA in the late 40s (maybe it's Wilshire? Uncertain)

Ethiopian? For lunch? I'll do my best to finish! (There is an Ethiopian auntie in the corner who is obviously making sure I finish. Haha)
A lunch sized plate of vegetarian Ethiopian food. From the top clockwise: beetroot, yellow lentils, spicy lentils, greens, red lentils, potatoes, and green beans/carrots. All served on Ethiopian injera, which is a fermented flatbread that is a little spongy. My apologies that I only know the name of the injera. It was all delicious and I managed more than half!

Took some photos at the Gardens today.
A photo of light pink trumpet flowers from underneath with a cloudy sky. A closer photo of the light pink trumpet flowers with the light coming through the middle. A photo of oh those light blue flowers I thought bloomed only in spring with light shining through the middle. Sorry I've forgotten the flower name.

Did I win at consommé?
A bowl of birria with radishes, white onions, and cilantro as garnish. In my opinion, my broth is basically crystal clear so I think I succeeded.

Hahahaha! I truly have no idea. 😜 but I might've found inspo for what my dwarf barbarian looks like from this cover. So thanks for the backstory/lore!

I've been fighting the doom scroll these past three weeks with a little cozy doom. I beat Wytchwood tonight! A fun donning of a Baba Yaga costume to interfere with several fairytale retellings. I give it 4 stars in general and 3 on switch. Fie upon the Switch glitches!

I'm once again close to my reading goal, tbd in October. Here's September! Y'all I cannot recommend The Great Mann by Kyra Davis Lurie more strongly. It's a retelling of Gatsby but in LA's Black neighborhood Sugar Hill. The stakes raise when Gatsby is Black. Read it! #booksky
My September reads: Even Though I Knew the End, CL Polk, 3.75 stars; A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping, Sangu Mandanna, 5 stars; A Town With Half The Lights On, Paige Getz, 3.75 stars; The Great Mann, Kyra Davis Lurie, 4.75 stars; Boy's Weekend, Mattie Lubchansky, 3.75 stars; The Science of Ghosts v1, Lilah Sturges, 3.75 stars
