The full meal: pumpkin scone, tofurky, broccoli & cauliflower gratin, and mashed potatoes (a mix of white & sweet). Not pictured but enjoyed: pecan pie.

That is something I haven't tried before but it sounds delish!

Stage 1 of tonight's vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner just came out of the oven. I'm sure these pumpkin scones will require a taste test soon 🙂 #Thanksgiving #baking #vegetarian

Various scones on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. The scones are light orange in colour and are cracked open in places.

This slasher makes a great case for bringing back CRT TVs. Sean became such a TV star! #SlasherSundays 📽️

Sticking with the camping/woods theme for week 3 of Slasher Sundays.

Seeing her from the side, you can see her hiking backpack which has symbols of serial killers signature items from other horror franchises coming out of the bag. Behind her you can see the dark gloomy woods with rays of sunlight poking through

Yum! I usually get the battered cauliflower sandwich

LeesahSea @leesahsea.bsky.social · 3d

Lol that's good. I genuinely feel like a friend of mine has told me such a story about her husband (maybe not specifically about needed clothes, but definitely a guitar purchase)...so it can happen!

LeesahSea @leesahsea.bsky.social · 3d

Great to hear! I'm 👍 on the film, despite there being some flaws. It's been too long since we had a film from Bigelow!

LeesahSea @leesahsea.bsky.social · 3d

When I saw the guitar I thought the story was going to lead to buying a guitar instead of fall/winter clothes lol

Well I don't know, that sounds like a very appealing option as well. Hope you enjoyed the curry and wine!

The maple pecan pie one sounds heavenly.

It's hard to go wrong with Hitchcock!

I mostly came for the sinners at the Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks exhibit at the ROM, but it was all brilliant art. Portrait of A Woman (1613) was a fav.

Exhibit is on until January 18, 2026.
