Relationship mortician, ski mom, lover of machine-washable throw blankets.

No one of consequence.

Somewhere in the Maine mountains.
I don't suppose anyone knows how to acquire rabies vaccine for raccoons?

We have a very friendly few and given proximity to the house I'd feel better if our woodland friends aren't rabid.

The interwebz tells me sometimes the USDA sometimes does this but doesn't list a place to contact.

Tips?

If you're cooking Thursday, there's a pretty good chance you have most of what you need and the best meals have pretty simple ingredients.

You can do a WHOLE lot with butter, salt, sugar, flour, cinnamon, garlic, bread, potatoes, celery, eggs, onions, and standard spices.

Also, buy more butter.

I'm pretty sure we've made enough movies about how this worked last time that we know we shouldn't be doing it this time.

Instead of putting my onions in water to keep them going longer, I put them in dirt.

This one is really enjoying the method.

Which pie(s) should I tell the husband to acquire...or should I tell him to surprise us?

I just spent 132 minutes and 2 seconds on the phone with IRS for an "anticipated" hold time of 30 minutes.

Please clap for my impressive patience.

We've got some mullet weather in Rangeley today...all business up top, sunny party down below.

If this week you are making your first Thanksgiving dinner, don't stress.

Focus on getting the bird done properly cooking at about the right time, and then make sides until you are annoyed.

Many sides can be made with a few ingredients, and little drama.

Have several pounds of butter.

It's #SundayCheckIn for 11/23.

How was your week?

How are you holding up?

What do you need?

What are you struggling with?

What has helped?

What kindness would help you?

Remember to wash your sheets.

...your turkey shouldn't still be in the freezer.

PSA: if you are cooking a turkey from frozen, put it in the fridge now.

Did @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social figure out that, much like the Louvre, Trump's password is Trump?
Put it in The Louvre of US political history. The look on Mamdani's face is priceless.

12: can we have a pet wombat?

Me: no

12: why not?

Me: we live in Maine

12: mom, it's a global economy

Me: the internet says it's a Rottweiler-shaped rabbit that is destructive, untrainable, huge, filthy, and hates people

12: how about a house chicken?

Me: 😐

12 was invited to a themed birthday party today.

Tell me the theme with gifs only.

Trying to get back from Portland, I made the mistake of popping in at the store to top off supplies at a time I thought was off hours in a non-holiday week.

Friends, it could be Thanksgiving tomorrow for how many people were at Whole Foods on a rando Thursday before 5pm.

Me, yesterday: Pico de gallo...nom, nom, nom

Me, today: why is my face shedding like Ally Sheedy's dandruff in The Breakfast Club?

Stupid allergies.

Ode to the truck driver who aggressively honked at me this morning to show his displeasure

Sir, it was a merge

My vehicle was ahead of yours

The sign indicates quite clearly the left lane is the lane that merges into the right

And

This is really the important bit

You were in the left lane

What low key trauma response has the last few years given you?

Whenever I go to the store I think about what item(s) I'd be really sad if I didn't have if this is the last grocery store trip I ever get to make because of a pandemic/government failure/zombies, then I put that item(s) in my cart.

I have an unexpected trip to Portland tomorrow.

Say a prayer for my 3:30 am wake up.

The death lemonade was VERY helpful for my 2.5 hour drive between offices, maybe a tad less sugar in it though.

Once the top U.S. fast-casual chain, Panera has dipped to number three, falling behind Chipotle and Panda Express.

Now, to try to win back consumers, the chain plans to reinvest in the business and undo many previously implemented cost-cutting measures, it said Tuesday.

We appear to have a potato in search of a murder victim.

Sad news, folks.

The ducks have gone for the year.

The office chipmunk appears to be hibernating for the winter.

Still getting visits from his frenemy, the red squirrel and had a fly by from the blue jay.

First day with enough snow in the yard to pull out skis in Rangeley.

I see we've included the Lord of the Flies universe in our dystopian journey.

Wouldn't want to leave that one out.
