I’m sorry I was late for work, but I was too busy liking aurora pictures on social media.

The rescue is starting to post about the dogs arriving in November and there is ANOTHER dog named Nimbus coming. 😲 It’s a doodle, though.

Chocolate cherry pistachio pinwheels. The green is not nearly as neon as it looks in this picture. These are fun to make. #CookieParty

Pignoli today. Because I vastly overestimated the number of pine nuts I would need for pesto this summer.

Also mixed up three other batches to bake tomorrow. #CookieParty

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.

If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.

We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

That thing!
You know that thing that you need to do
but you haven’t done it
and it’s hanging over your head
and you dread it.
Well…
Don’t do it today either.
But don’t worry about it either.
Take the day off
from Worrytown.

Next up were gingerbread snickerdoodles (pictured) and cranberry/cherry (because I ran out of cranberries) pie cookies from Christina Tosi. It appears I’m getting all of the beige cookies out of the way first.

Dammit, I missed the flower pick up date at the cemetery. And I really liked the flowers I had gotten for my parents’ graves (and they were pricey).

I have a self-imposed 1 dog limit and I really enjoy fostering, so I want to keep doing it. But if that wasn’t a case, this sweet boy would’ve been a foster fail.

Instead he found his forever family today and loved them all. He has a hound sister named Elsie and they really liked each other. ❤️

Nimbus has a meet tomorrow and I’m not ready. 😭 So cross your paws for him, I guess (actually, they seem great).

A new one this year, fig and maple walnut slices. They are addictive and made my house smell amazing. #CookieParty

@muppybean.bsky.social Syvie, Nimbus and I are placing our sushi order for tonight. What can we get you? Salmon roll? Any appetizers?

friendly reminder that socialist mayors governed Milwaukee for nearly half a century from 1910-1960

during this time Milwaukee achieved milestones such as being the healthiest, safest, and best-governed city in America

I would like to go on record as not giving a fuck if it ruined the workplace for asshole misogynists. Thank you.

Second: Oatmeal raisin. Made in memory of my beloved mom, because it was her favorite cookie.

I used Zingerman’s Big O recipe.
