I hope Karl-Anthony Towns gets a big ovation tonight. You are missed KAT. 🐱🏀

Pizza for dinner! We’ve had great results with our Lodge cast iron pizza pan. Topped it with grilled spice-rubbed chicken thighs, red onion, and a barbecue sauce base on some homemade dough. Simple and so good. 🍕🍽️

Snow during rush hour is the worst, but at least it means we’re on track for a white Christmas. Small wins, right? ☃️❄️

Me: Casually mentions I haven’t had an espresso martini in a while.
Hubster: Challenge accepted.
This little beauty magically appeared, and I think I’ll keep him. ☕🍸🍽️

Only in Minnesota can we endure holy fucknuts it’s cold weather and still call it ‘just brisk.’ Stay hearty, folks.

What is this strange feeling? A Vikings game without a panic attack, a foreboding sense of doom, or heartburn? I could get used to this vibe. 😎

Going into tonight:

Wild: 5-game streak 🏒
Wolves: 4-game streak 🏀
Vikings: 5-game streak 🏈

And then the Wild took an L. Minnesota sports fans can’t have nice things for too long. 😂

A restaurant in town makes a Cipollini Dip that my husband and I are obsessed with. I found some Cipollini onions at the grocery store this week and decided to try making it myself. It turned out okay, but not quite the same. I’ll get it right eventually! 🍽️

Comfort food: creamy mushroom risotto topped with fresh chives, Parmesan, and a side of crusty bread. Paired perfectly with a glass of white wine. 🍽️🍷🍄

Historians will trace it back to the Tide Pods incident, but the true tipping point was when people started treating raw milk like it was some kind of medieval superfood.
THIS PERIOD OF TIME SHALL BE KNOWN AS
THE DUMB AGES.

Making some bacon jam for the Thanksgiving charcuterie board. Always a hit because… bacon. Sweet, savory, and absolutely addictive—this stuff disappears fast. 🍽️

Kicking back for some Monday night hockey. Let’s hope the Wild can bring home the win. 🏒

Client: “I thought I didn’t owe tax on my home sale gain since I bought a new one.”

Me: “Those rules changed… back in the Clinton era. Let me update you on current laws.”

You know you’ve been doing this awhile when you can pinpoint tax law changes by who was in office at the time. 😂

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for the usual dread about starting the work week all over again.

At least it’s a short week…with food.

Sounds good in theory, but after this mess, I’m not sure we’ll all agree on what “right” and “true” even look like anymore.
If we come out the other side of this hostile, nightmare chapter with our ability to recognize wrong from right, false from true, and our commitment to decency, kindness, democracy, the rule of law and the Constitution intact—then we can begin to create a positive future again.

Saturday afternoon vibes: hanging out at a local taproom, playing cribbage with my hubby. It doesn’t get more Midwestern than this.

Fridge clean-out day. Also known as: “Hun, what masterpiece can we create with a wilted carrot, three olives, and last week’s chili?”
