I’m in rolls mode tonight.

Buttery, garlicky pull apart rolls—will expose your store bought rolls affection to be a sad joke.

It is time for the buttering.

“Patient belonging” could be a woo woo self-care strategy.

We make a spicy, sweet, savory cranberry relish. Recipe changes year to year bc there is no recipe—apples cranberries, orange juice and zest, sugar, onion, garlic, Serrano chilies, and this unusual Ann Arbor hot sauce, which magically draws it all together.

Low rent rendezvous: smoked Gouda cheezits paired with aged Gouda.

We have a pretty legit Southwest diner in STL, but Albuquerque's Frontier Restaurant defines NM slop for me--eggs consorting with carne adovada, tortillas, both kinds of chili sauce. . .

I’m already Costco-pilled, but now I’d die for this place.

I love my library card with a chicken drawing and chicken joke as drawn by—guessing—a 4th grader.

Bowdoin College posted this tepid “congrats” to its alumnus, Zohran Mamdani, made worse by the fact that the visual is clearly AI slop. Comments are a bonfire.

My 18 mos. old granddaughter has a new sibling who will supplant Garth, the Roomba, as the only other member of the household. She finds and greets Garth just about every time every time she enters the house.

Most nutrition influencer recipes are horrible. These cottage cheese protein bagels are not. Equal parts cottage cheese and flour, a little salt. Most recipes call for baking powder but use yeast to avoid the chemical tang. I throw in a little whole wheat and rye flour.

What if you chose a protein with flavor? 10/10 recommend.
