I suspect you’re already well aware but I would feel like crap after convergence insufficiency vision therapy. It helped! And it was utterly exhausting and I’d have to write off the rest of the day.

And then you don’t wind up fighting over burners or having someone’s scalloped potatoes only ready 90 mins after everything else!

I also write it as a range, if that helps? Like if an extra 50 degrees won’t hurt the sweet potatoes they can go in with the stuffing or whatever. Or the stuffing can start at a lower temp with the rolls and then full temp for a little extra time.

Smoked country ham?

Clearly the solution is to add another table and invite more people, so I can justify apple and sweet potato both.
Or stash untouched halves in the freezer and use them in installments as my baked goods payment for cordwaining lessons.

The Internet! And desperation. I love embroidery and didn’t know why my fingertips kept cracking open, pre-diagnosis. Contact allergy forums have been super useful.
I suspect I know where he hoarded it, it’s just a hassle to move/dig under the couch. Will probably find my thimbles there too.

My sister and I both love one that never feels right outside of Thanksgiving, but tragically sits squarely between pumpkin and pecan: sweet potato with pecan topoing. We’re the ones willing to go without our favorite…but every single year?? But apple complements the others better.

My dad will make a pumpkin pie the next morning if the guest who claimed it instead brings nonsense like pumpkin cheesecake. So pumpkin is mandatory.
My in-laws will bring store-bought pecan because it’s their favorite. I am mostly past having my feathers ruffled and chalk it up to the ‘tism.

This is the way. I learned to make holiday meal 3-day battle plans from my father and taught them to my cousin in turn.
also I need to pick pies for this year, dangit

Again today since apparently I need to hunt for my awl in the cat’s favorite hiding places, but here’s 2-3 hrs of stitching a wallet and misc with carbon-something coated needles. Similar marks on my thumb and the other hand. Truly only visible because of the needles I use and the gd missing awl.

The ADA next to me says “not really a thing in criminal cases, considered tacky and unbecoming the severity of sending someone to prison.“

Huh. Theoretically possible, but I feel like the drape would be off? Or the off the shoulder wouldn’t have enough structure and would risk major malfunction

Are you volunteering? Because I’m sure they’re guilty, but I don’t necessarily like my odds against the Boston turkeys.

Ty! Still fiddling with the best way to do the strings. I may go with silk thread instead of titanium wire—less durable, but easier to tension smoothly.

The pricking irons don’t necessarily cut the leather through. There isn’t really differentiation between them and stitching chisels, like you’re talking about, today but he almost certainly used pricking irons beforehand to space the stitches.

Admittedly I’m not using the traditional needles because allergies, I’m using Pony Black hypoallergenic so maybe that makes a difference, and the chisels I have are the Japanese diamond style rather than French. I suspect the muscles used are the same though.

Did two of these bag charms without the awl because they’re small, right? It’s four layers, sure, but pre-punched. Do I neeed to go find it?
Ow ow ow.

Using the awl right before opens it up so it shouldn’t need too much force to draw the needles through. Worth using an awl even with styles that are punched all the way through ahead of time.
When I don’t, if it’s more than two layers of leather, the base of my thumb is sore the next day.

In general I think we should scale fines by wealth but honestly I almost like this more.

There’s an HOV lane near me where some jerks were definitely factoring the fine into their budgets.
A traffic cop has been pulling them over during rush hour, taking his sweet time processing things, and making them wait whenever he sees another to flag down.
