Oh great. Hope everything comes back negative. Maybe drop off a flaming bag of dogshit at the tutor’s door.

So, Mr. Tonight and I were watching all the Rambo movies recently. I grew up watching them, and knew what I was getting into. I also love all the Rocky movies.... nostalgia!

Brown liquor, brown liquor, what do you see?

Hi there. I would love any advice from Jezzies who have gotten out of abusive relationships in the past (beyond therapy). Books that helped? Did you try anti-anxiety meds? I’m six months out from separating and waiting for my divorce to finalize. Deep down I know it was the right move, but around the holidays, the…

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for the laugh. My kid’s tutor came over Monday with a dry cough and exposed us all to Covid (test Tuesday, results Friday), so we’re doing the temp checks and counting down the days until we’re clear. I needed this. 

Some pictures from this week’s sky watching from the balcony. So pretty! We had some new friends over for Thanksgiving, and then we went with them the next day to play with cats at a local sanctuary. (Krispy, you would have loved it) We have a weekend road trip to Panama City in December, with friends, and a January…

You can slice squash thinly and use in place of noodles for lasagna! Some squashes are also good for pie (the sweeter ones). Butternut squash soup also freezes really well so you can make a batch and freeze in single serving portions or give to friends/family.

Dang. Put your feet up and have a glass of wine. 

I can recommend a squash casserole recipe - spray a Pyrex dish with vegetable oil (I usually use a bread dish), then layer in sliced squash, diced sweet onion, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper. Repeat 2-3 times or until dish is almost full. Cover with tented foil and bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, until…

Cube them and cook them with other veggies and some sort of pork based product (bacon, sausage, dealer’s choice) to make a seasonal hash. Eat with an over easy egg on top.

Hope everyone had a healthy, happy & safe Thanksgiving. It was just us 3 this year. Was really nice despite us somehow completely ruining dinner so very badly that we made spaghetti & meatballs. The tiny human was in heaven over it at least. My husband and I just blamed 2020 as we are both quite capable cooks. So much…

Donate them to your local food bank. 

I am no cook, but I am a former juvenile delinquent. In my experience, the proper thing to do with excess gourds is to throw them off a roof or out a high window. They smash real good.

Some Thanksgiving treats! With just us, we made everything smaller! My carmel apple mini bundt cakes with hot carmel sauce were to die for.

My personal favorite way to eat butternut squash is to roast til tender and then mash it into some hot polenta along with as much butter and cheese as you can justify. It’s good as a side or a base — I usually top it with sausage and onions, but there are about a million things that would work. I’ve done something…

Ug. Can’t help you. I make a delish apple & squash soup but pretty much nothing else otherwise from them 

Bear with me, but isn’t that price kind of emblematic of the sociopolitical problems confronting America and the West today?

That’s Polish zloty. It’s roughly $24.

It’s not in $ but Polish Zlotys. It’s about  26 bucks.

Also for TJ Maxx? Who goes to TJ Maxx, sees random cosmetics and is like “99.99 seems fair”? I mean they have their designer section where stuff costs more, but that’s just for clothes. The makeup aisle is mostly like chinese knockoff stuff that has a 50% chance of giving you a rash
