Sometimes you go to practice and it just hits the wrong way.

Thr process is a journey. It's ok to not be perfect at practice. Because you have another practice and another. What was hard will become second nature and you will be struggling with something new.

Making a buckler backing and I may have over done the oven cuirboulli a bit. It's still good for a prototype.

We are not a cult, we are the culture of second intention.

Sometimes that means we do weird classes on Wensday nights.

(We are benefiting from Russ' movement expertise)

Today I got to sample the cruffin. That’s right, a croissant-muffin hybrid filled with lemon custard.

This was a buttery, flaky, savory, sweet, citrusy, creamy party in my mouth!

Have you ever had one??

Hi! I’m actually the original artist 🙋It kinda escaped containment and the internet ain’t great at crediting, so I understand not everyone knows, but I’m at least glad it gives folks a laugh.

This is a very specific intersection of my interests and it's comedy fucking gold.
Characters from the movie Ratatouille are in a hospital room. Emile, bandaged and unconscious, lies in the bed. Remy's father speaks to Remy in the top panel. He says "Pilot the Frenchman, Remy" The second panel zooms on Emile, with their father gesturing towards him. The text reads "or Emile will have to do it again"
