Exhibit B & C: candied pecans and bread.

- It takes about 35 mins for the thing to preheat for 500 (sucks a lot, the previous replacement only took like 15 mins)

- Something about high temp felt off, but I can't find my oven therm. and I'm NOT going to the store tonight, so idk

Okay, exhibit A: un-burnt cookies👍🏻

I already DID all of this two weeks ago when I was planning Thanksgiving logistics so now I'm just speed-running what I already did.

My plan is to do:

- A cookie recipe that req's a mid-way temp pivot (400 to 350) (already have the dough made)
- the spiced nuts recipe (low temp)
- A batch o' bread (high temp)

And so long as those all behave assume it's...okay

My preference was to wait since I'd already done some baking in prior new/used oven and had my expectations set but I was out-voted, so.

"4 hours and 18 mins?! 😭"

This from people who reportedly binge an entire season of television in one or two sittings? Be serious rn.

Yeah no no it's all good, I wanted to mention it because it's a 1.) beautiful song about a 2.) super serious topic that also 3.) has some extremely 90s lyrics that are a little...90s

"Fun" fact: I am calling it a hate crime (since it was) but of course at the time crimes against LGBTQ+ & disabled people were not considered hate crimes!

His case was the corner stone for pushing for the legal recognition that they can in fact, be. It wasn't federally recognized until 2009 🤡

[serious answer alert] More or less, yeah.

This song (written in memory of Matthew Shepard, a 21yr old gay boy got hate-crimed in WY in 1998), has big time "why do YOU care if I'm gay? What does it matter?" sentiments. "I'm a person, still, btw, even tho I'm gay" etc.
