@irfan21.bsky.social Just finished listening to September House, a pretty creepy ghost story. I tried to interest people at work but evidently they are not horror fans. A fast-paced story that bounces right along. Content warnings on abusive relationships.

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

New concept: mini turkeys for small families. Husband says “isn’t that chickens?” No, it’s mini-turkeys —they would look adorable if they were about the size of basketballs #thanksgiving

Me (eating chips): Hmm…I don’t *think* my plan in coming into the kitchen was to eat chips. I wonder what it was?

It seems very unfair that most of the nutrition is in the skin of the potato and the apple BUT most of the nutrition is not in the skin of the pig. Just saying. #food
