As we experience a huge surge of flu cases, a reminder that the widespread usage of masks at the start of the COVID pandemic wiped out a strain of the flu.
If you haven’t been masking up lately, now would be a great time to restart.

The last bake of 2025: Potato rolls (but I am actually baking in loaf pans). The dough is incredibly marshmallowy. youtu.be/smb8NETkwug

When you are in a negative feedback loop w/someone who expects you to adjust your habits & they don’t, & they insist on leaving you voicemails that amount to lip service (apology but their actions don’t align with the apology), I highly recommend deleting the voicemails without listening to them.

In my final household re-org project before 12/31/25, I am purging out a lot of items that no longer serve me. I’m purging out a drawer of Rx meds I stopped taking & forgot about. Xanax, Wellbutrin, Viibryd, Trintellix, Eliquis. Pretty brutal evidence that the last 6 years have been for me.

Why is anyone reading the NY Post? Between butt phrenology & the hit piece on Mamdani’s wife (and a multitude of other equally loathesome articles), it isn’t a paragon of journalistic excellence. It isn’t even accidentally mediocre.

My gift (to those who aren’t aware) is a quote by Ben Franklin that I always fucked up, yet my fucked-uppedness still works as a believable Franklin quote.

So about Anaconda & how my c-ptsd lizard brain processed it: Sure, half the time I laughed SO hard; the other half I was so startled, at one point the startle response made my vagus nerve trigger a panic attack. Then, I was so over-stimmed I had several night terrors last night.

Today we saw Anaconda, then upon returning home I made a batch of hot & sour soup. Then binged xmas episodes of Big Bang & Golden Girls, drinking hot cocoa spiked w/rum cream between shows. Just now we took bites of a wedge of fruitcake (my great aunt’s recipe), & now settling into watch Die Hard.

Currently bingeing all the Christmas episodes of Seinfeld. Wish I could curate a holiday watch list on Netflix if specific tv episodes of different shows.

OMG I just dislodged my christmas crack. I made it in what is called half a sheet pan—those are standard size baking pans in bakeries or industrial kitchens. Will photograph it before I dispatch it. First time ever making it. Mega-instant-diabetes.

I made potato bread today that was so light, fluffy in a marshmallowy kind of way, my husband said it was bread flavored air.

I’m thankful for farm workers every day, not just on holidays. They are truly essential. I hope they are all safe and healthy this holiday season.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.
Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

One of the reasons I am a registered democrat is to be able to vote in the primary. Debating the merits to change registration to undermine any GOP candidates, but I guess something like that would only work if loads of others did the same.
