However much it sucked, I'm still sure it was better than it will be on Wednesday. 😀

I had trouble finding a near parking spot at a small local grocery today at noon. Fortunately I really now have all I need and can avoid anything that resembles shopping until Saturday. 🦃

Damaris Phillips deconstructed sheet pan green bean casserole (with shiitakes & goat cheese) is my new go-to.
I cook the green beans a bit longer than per recipe, I like 'em a little floppy.

I was the dessert maker - my mom had no interest.
11-year-old me thought lemon meringue pie would be perfect for Easter Sunday dessert at the besties.
No practice pies were attempted.

The un-set lemon meringue soup did not spill in the car, so I called it a win. 😄
And I haven't made one since.

I recently started making my own summer sausage - it's not as hard as you think! (Store-bought is more consistent, though.)
Morton Tender Quick salt. 😋

I had to play in short bursts. I'm an old with no reflexes. I managed dodging a lot of the time, parrying was out of my skillset.
But that said, on easiest mode, I got to the end once! And found it worth the trip.
(Now I just lurk in the COE33 feed watching people react to the events.) 😀 🥖

Nice granola!

I wonder if someone messed up their inventory...
But the oats keep for a long time if you want to wait a while before the next batch.

My problem with making my own granola (yesterday) is it's so good I just want to eat it all up immediately. I can only have so much fiber at a time. 😅

Every cooking-related advisory has that line. Catchy! Memorable! Not just for Thanksgiving. But a lot for T'giving since it's a big cook holiday.

CPSC and also NEORSD are the best. They make PSAs fun! 🤩

Same! I walked into the store and said "Can you please point me to a dumb TV? No Roku, no voice activation, none of that newfangled nonsense." At the time it cost less than a smart TV.

I plugged in my HD antenna (yeah I'm one of those) and the PS4 and the PS5 and the Switch and called it good. 😁

I just saw DAI on the PS store and ungggh. Want.
Except where's DAO & DA2? I can't just be inquisitor again without doing the whole set!

I kind of hope nobody goes to the World Cup games in the US. Not the players or the fans.
I'm sure there's money for the host cities but I wouldn't trust this government not to make it suck.

But you'll turn it on and get all the patches & updates before Dec 25?
(Like when BG3 came out on the PS5, I had a day of download and update before I could actually launch the game.)

I admire your fortitude to wait to play!

I have FOMO but after 15 minutes of catching up on my skyline this afternoon I'm muting new words. I'm really not missing out on this discourse, I'm saving my sanity. 😱

Is it time?

Absolutely.
Good luck getting a compromise.
I think he just ought to train himself to wake up naturally at the time he needs! 😁

(I got one of those "dawn-light-nature-sounds" wakeup alarms which is SO tranquil but I haven't needed it in 5 years because I'm habituated.)

That's when you just put it out there and clean it up later. I can get paralyzed by trying to polish every phrase as I go; without the ability to redo everything 15 times before moving on, I just move along!

Eh, whatever works!

Baked potatoes are so versatile.

Have you read/seen The Martian?
Copious potatoes are featured. 😍 🥔

I enjoy honeycrisps and most especially when they're 99 cents a pound.

Apparently I need to expand my apple palate tho, I've never heard of half of these.
