I occasionally take pictures, sometimes of cats or moss, and I spend a lot of time professionally thinking about what things mean.
Test cookie from a batch of one of the traditional Christmas cookies - peanut butter blossoms, but with Dove dark chocolate instead of a Hersheys kiss. (The rest have been scooped, rolled in sugar, and frozen, to be baked closer to Christmas Eve.)

The annual Christmas panettone / kugelhopf / yulkake* has been baked. This year’s version is fig and dark chocolate with orange zest and spices. It’s been cut into wedges and frozen, ready to pull out and toast for breakfast.
* the recipe owes something to each, but is none of them

Doctored instant ramen for dinner. There’s slices of leftover pork chop underneath the noodles. I forgot to soft boil eggs, so I poached them quick and threw them in.

Tacos for dinner. Crispy baked cod loin taco with shredded cabbage, radishes, sour cream , hot sauce, and green onions. “Mexican” fried rice (I.e., leftover rice fried with a can of Ro-tel tomatoes, some frozen corn, and an egg) on the side.

Ada, on the other hand, is highly treat motivated, and any song that fits her vibe will get its lyrics changed to be about treats. Think Heart’s “These Treats” or Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Treats”.

We had a corned beef in the freezer we needed to use up, and a cabbage in the fridge, so a fusion meal - corned beef with Dijon mustard, roasted carrots and potatoes, sweet-and-sour cabbage, cabbage and apple slaw, and a slice of sourdough bread.

There was a dude with a horn who seemed a bit old for a Wanderjahre, and a strolling rendition of This Land Is Your Land. Very Berkshires.

First spoke of the season, plus a little crisp, because there was no way all that filling was fitting inside the pie crust.
