Started green, then went deep red. Absolutely the best aurora show I’ve seen in the 20+ years living here - even without the camera enhancing everything. Northwestern Massachusetts.

My family likes its stews the way it likes its friends: full of beans and a little spicy. 🧑‍🍳

I can't be the only one cracking this joke tonight, can I?

Despite my attempts to help, my team won the pub quiz at the brewery downtown tonight, woo!

Now if they’d only have a 🧶 knitting or a cooking 🥘 round, I could really contribute.

Enjoy the doo-dads! From Little Women? AAaaaaaa!

Meet Eggsmerelda Bawkington, the emotional support chicken I’m donating to my kid’s school fundraising auction. She’s a booster, proudly decked out in school colors, and is extra squishy and huggable. I hope someone takes her home! 🧶 #knitting

Can't believe that I missed that Ace Frehley died. RIP to the only member of KISS who was in it to make music after about 1983, IMHO. It was cool seeing you as my first concert when I was 4 years old.

This is making my Gen X latchkey kid’s heart very happy right now.

Brought my knitting 🧶 to both the June 1 and today’s rallies, and am still kicking myself that I didn’t have a ‘Mme Defarge In Training’ sign or button to wear. Admittedly, the character Dickens wrote is not nice, but the visual of knitting next to the guillotine is potent. Vive la Resistance!

First frost means craving soup - lentils with collards getting started here.

Plant-based Sausage rolls using NatsWhatIReckon’s recipe, vegan puff pastry from the fridge case and a tube of Impossible Sausage for the ground pork. F🎺in’ delicious! My lunch is set for a week.

My ceramic-top stove is a convenient flat surface when it’s not on… except when you push something to the back and it bumps a burner on to High.

Pretty sure this voids the warranty on my Instant Pot.

This makes me ever so happy, that enough Blueskyites (Blueskiers? Blueskies? Blueskyenas?) are freaking out about AO3 going down for a little while that it is trending here.

Came across Kurt Vonnegut in my travels today and it resonated; he was speaking of the joy of Buying One Envelope:

(then I went outside for a short break. I saw a squirrel narrowly avoid death through speed, agility and luck.)

Love the Fried Rice recipe from #WoksOfLife, it can never bring myself to scramble my eggs in with it. Fried Egg on Rice is one of life’s true little pleasures and I take every opportunity to have it.

Seen in my travels; pithy and to the point.

Nearing the end of grilled pizza season (the cook gets cold and it’s dark!) but these are poss some of the best I’ve made so far. #KingArthurFlour grilled pizza recipe makes a crust that is just how we like it - stretchy, chewy, a little crispy. Grilling it offers a hint of scorch. NOM.

Pretty proud of this soup and sandwich, given that it is 100% from scratch. Fresh farm share tomatoes and carrots, with a chiffonade of basil from the garden, and homemade (sadly over-proofed but still delicious) wheat bread grilled with local cheddar. NOM. #breadsky #FarmFood

Whoever wrote today's connections, I absolutely love you.

Tomatoes sliced thick, bacon cooked in the oven for even crispness, mayo on both slices, and crunchy green leaf/cos lettuce. A seasonal delight that only happens when the tomatoes are grown to full ripeness. I can’t eat them any other time of year. NOM. #breadsky #FuckYeahTomaotes

Happy Labor Day to all workers everywhere, including and especially: sex workers, farm workers, illegal and legal immigrant workers, contract gig workers, artists and craftspeople, and worker-owned coops like my little company.

And a cheerful Fuck You to billionaires everywhere.

Gorgeous day to PYO at the farm while collecting our CSA share. I was too preoccupied with enjoying to take many pics, but green beans, flowers, raspberries and edamame were a joy to pick. Can’t snivel at 5 lbs of tomatoes, either. Gonna need more bacon for BLTs.

RIP indeed. I mean yes, Superman, etc. but...
PRISCILLA made him legend in my mind. You were 🔥, sir; may your memory be a blessing.
