Keeping up so far on this one! The other I’m doing with youngest is going slower but that’s okay, we’ll catch up when during break

I have some guesses from those voids ;)

Regretted this light tanish cloth during those grey stitches but I think in the end it will look really nice!

An old recipe I haven't made in forever, Gingerbread Pear Upside-Down Cake

Easy one to make that looks pretty fancy to bring to dinners

Oh yeah, thumbprint cookie with pineapple passion fruit bonne maman is a winner

Definitely going on the bake list for Christmas

Ha! I bested them both!

Even got fancy and gave it a quick saddle stitch binding

Leftover turkey experiment: turkey stock, ginger, garlic, miso broth with bok choy, mushrooms, udon noodles and turkey

And a dipping sauce made from leftover cranberry sauce, gochujang paste, and soy sauce

Pretty good! But the I think cranberry creation might be the star

Turkey experiment!

Tried a turkey-cetta recipe and some turkey leg confit. Both were a big hit!

The turkey roll was so herby and juicy! Plus the flavor on the turkey legs was so concentrated and the bones just fell out while crisping. Think these are both winners for Thanksgiving

Every time I sew with fur, I say never again.. and yet here I am.. coated in fuzzy fur bits..

The stomach for a derby tiger is finished… so much fluff everywhere…

Kid and adult dinner success: chicken piccata

I made enough for a small village cause the monsters that live in my house demand it as leftovers. They ignore me as I try to explain the sauce is never as good after it cools, they will not be deterred in their leftover chicken piccata sandwich dreams

Birthday pie day for @matt.alexander.social

This year he picked his regular apple pie and the spiced pear cranberry crumble

House smells really good today!

Every now and then I try to cook a dish I used to love before I had kids and it never goes well

Today’s edition of adult food kids hate, roasted fall vegetable grain bowls with feta and lemon cooked shredded kale, and herb-lime crema

They hated every bite :(

Happy “Celebrate the Coming of Fall with Fondue” day, everyone!

I think this is the best banana pudding I’ve ever made!

The banana meringue crumbled on top is surprisingly great all on its own. Has a great complex flavor for being just like 3 ingredients

Anyone know someone on costco.com's dev team?

Some ding dong set the character limit to 16 on the password field for costco.com & the app, can't login if yours is longer

If you're hitting the same wall, inspect the field & adjust 'maxlength' to whatever you need

No workaround on the app though :(

You think you’re never going to be one of those parents that hover or try to put your kid in a safety bubble

But then your kid gets 14 more stitches in the same knee less than a week after she got the last set out

Now I’m debating whether she can get through a day at school in this

One nice little back to school dress for youngest!

Mostly a nice fast make, but about 4 things I’d do differently/better next time around

It’s also a nice little final farewell to Joann’s with the pre-shirred fabric we got during the closing sale

I saw this at my local Costco and it made me giggle for like 30 minutes. It’s nice the people who work there seem happy and get to be silly

I wish Seattle would make their woodsy “I voted” stickers scratch and sniff

I wanna smell the forest when I wear my little gold star

That’s my Sunday finished. Just gonna sit around, digesting, for the rest of the day

2nd batch, the thighs. Obviously the best pieces!
August 3, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Someone asking politely if her fried chicken is ready

And having some feelings when I told her the first pieces are for the kids
August 3, 2025 at 10:26 PM
First batch! 3 more to go!
August 3, 2025 at 10:09 PM
Oh yeah, gonna be a good food day!

Unless of course you’re Maid Marian (this line has been burned into my brain since childhood)

Doing a little workshop for friends and neighbors tomorrow on how to make a pattern from your favorite shirt and, of course, had to make little handouts

Really just an excuse to sketch adorable little diagrams for it
