et voila ✨

these taste a lot better the next day. I probably should have filled these when I baked them, they are a little soft from the humidity and smushing the filling was not great for the shells but these are not for anyone except me so a little […]

if I had a podcast it would be about my food

like how every green vegetable goes with either chilies or mustard but not both (and it's not just brassicas vs everything else)

why are these so popular

is it a e s t h e t i c

or is it just conspicuous capitalism 🤔

(spoilers! they're the same thing!)

I'm really enjoying the process of making macarons but these taste like cheap sugary breakfast cereal lmao

why does powdered sugar taste like that. why do these taste like cocoa puffs. why am I doing this to myself.

I made macaron shells and it wasn't impossible. it wasn't that hard even. just fussy.

getting the oven perfect is going to take some time but I'm not mad about how these came out. they're very tasty.

I'm not a "new year new me" kinda person

but this is the year I'm going to get good at sugar — not frosting, fuck frosting, all my homies hate frosting — caramel and fudge and that kind of thing. I have always thought that it's fussy and hard but like […]

I finished one sweater this year. that's better than zero sweaters, which is my usual number. this was a good road trip project.

this is a hexagon sweater with a shawl collar and a pocket. it is too big in a very cozy way.

I like a lot of things about holiday baking but the science project that is making candied cherries might be my favorite part. it smells *so good* right now.
December 21, 2025 at 4:34 AM
ah phew that's ... four batches of cookies done. all shortbread today, lots of nuts, lots of butter.

still have the fancy orange curd bars, toffee, spritz. cherry balls. and biarritz. lots of fruit and chocolate coming up next.
December 20, 2025 at 11:46 PM
grinding xp at costco on a Saturday because I did not think far enough ahead to get my four pounds of butter on a less stupid morning

winter solstice preparations are afoot. ❄️🌿✨

these are peppermint mocha brownie cookies (made from brownie mix!) and I have cleverly situated myself in front of the cooling racks for easy quality assurance.

did I worry it wouldn't come out? yes

did I burn my hand when it fell out of the pan because I wasn't expecting it to come out so fast? a little

it's glorious. my friends are going to be so impressed. just have to make some raspberry coulis and pack it up for tomorrow.

taking a breather from my trash batts and spinning something simple and luxurious. this is tweedy merino/silk and I didn't have to blend it myself or anything.🍃
