Reader. Writer. Gardener. Probably judging you.
One thing about me: I’m always gonna take a small, cute container and make it into a pot for a small, cute plant.

‘Did you just have a reading or something?’ an old guy asked a cashier at Magers & Quinn. ‘Half of Minneapolis is here.’

‘It’s our only sale of the entire year,’ the cashier responded. ‘Twenty percent off everything in store.’

Prayers up for this @nytimes.com Cooking Cherry Karpatka, which now has to chill in the fridge overnight.

Hey, everybody! Look at this weird ice/snow on my chicken coop roof.

I don’t know what these are. I just know I must have them.

I don’t…this is just a terrible idea.

I’m glad we’re getting more seasonable weather. 60° in November was weird

My favorite kind of butcher shop, tbh.

Happy End of People Knocking on Your Door Day to all who celebrate!

Can’t see the haters when I’ve got my love glasses on.

It’s okay to be scared.

Topped it with a Greek yogurt + lemon juice + garlic + honey dressing. It’s not bad!

Roasting sweet potato + chickpeas + cauliflower + cumin + za’atar.

Also, look how psychedelic one of the sweet potatoes was.

I would like some confirmation that this is indeed Minnesota’s largest candy store.

Pastry cream + apple compote

My four-year-old niece drew Kitsu a get-well-soon picture.

The dough from yesterday is chilling. Now, it’s time for the apple compote.

I was irritated that you have to roll out the butter and make a dough envelope for it, BUT at least so far, the dough is doing what it’s supposed to do.

My dad wants to make this obscenely complicated Æbelkringle. Let’s see how this goes. (Photo from the cookbook)

I cut into it before I remembered to take a picture. It’s good! It kind of just tastes like meat and cheese, but it’s good.

Get in the oven!

Strega Nona all up in here.

I spared you the ground beef, but I’m making lasagna today.
