My husband went from India to the US in 2013 as a grad student, got his degree, became a citizen in 2019, then we left for Canada in 2021. Canada has its own flavor of anti Indian immigration rumblings but it hasn't ruptured into the festering sore that it has in the US.

This year's cookie selection: lemon, chocolate chip and walnut, and Claire Saffitz's pistachio pinwheel cookies. Baby's first pinwheels turned out alright, I think!

@aureanator.bsky.social crashed before we could break into the black cake, so we're saving that for tomorrow. And I got a late start today, so I'm ending the day baking cookies instead of beginning the day that way, so cookie tasting will wait until tomorrow, too.
