new post on the blog... another cake, this one very different than the apple cake!
An orange-filled cake from a Smith Island woman. It has layers!

Oh, *experts* predict this? Uh.... don't more millennial and Gen Z candidates HAVE TO run for office? Were more boomers going to run for office? Next thing you'll tell me more teenagers are going to enter the job market

I am reposting this link because I have made this apple cake three times; most recently for family over the weekend and someone brought my grandmother some and she emailed me about it. its so good and so autumnal.

I would like to personally thank all of the idiots who subscribe to my posts, of their own free will, only to report them as "spam". Thanks to you, no one who is on my tour has been getting their confirmation emails because google decided that my own gmail address and my domain address are spam.

I had a system worked out for my tour to run smoother and got the rug yanked out from under me at the last minute.. but the books arrived on time and look pretty good at least.
It’s hard to accept less than perfection when it was in my grasp but i need to stop trying to be the “best” and just *be*

This was a perfectly functional filemaker application with many complex functions built in over 10 years of use and I basically decided to rebuild it from scratch with pg and js... why? To stress myself out? because filemaker annoys me? (that last one is quite true..)

I finally have the programming in place to organize scanned cookbooks for import into my database. Problem now is the actual scanning.
Its too bad a good comb binder costs like $500 because the best strategy tbh would be to disassemble them, feed scan them, then reassemble with said binder.

I found a weird AI generated article about... me and it is SO flattering and laying it on thick that I'd love to share it but I absolutely will not give this slop traffic.
I will, however, screenshot parts of it lol.
But... I don't understand the point of this?

It was opened by George Washington Hyde, and his restaurants were later known as Hyde's. Nicknamed "Millionaires Club" for their popularity with bankers. Another location was 205 W Fayette St. They closed when he died in 1931.

I really want to know what screenplays came across Enigma guy's desk that were so bad that "Sliver" was finally money worth taking

does anybody else separate these and keep the components, dump the salt in with your regular salt and or course throw away the sawdust pepper?

thanks to a cool and generous python-for-the-humanities scholar, things are finally working out with the programming to extract cookbook data in a structured way.
its depressing that AI has these applications but is mostly being market-driven to be a job-stealer/evil therapist/shitpic artist/etc

There is a similar book from 1869 that has a recipe I’ve always been curious about
