So you guys...my niece is having a baby! ETA projected between Xmas and New Years! I’m here typing and grinning and crying. This is fantastic! She is so brilliant and loving and compassionate...she’s gonna be the best mom. She’s had some health issues so I already lectured her to follow all the doc’s directions and…

Shelter Cat Update!

If I close my eyes I can still taste the croissants in France, and they were the best I’ve ever had. Pretty sure it was because of the quality of their butter. I had one that looked like the ones in that picture, and it was divine.

So our trip to Azuero Peninsula next week is cancelled. The Health Minister ordered that instead of just stopping at the police checkpoints on the road leaving and coming back into my province, every person in every car has to get Covid tested at the checkpoints. And of course wait at the checkpoints for the results.…

Pillsbury’s aren’t “croissants,” they’re “crescent rolls”.

Blammo! I actually found the picture!

Clearly, Cheers made those croissants.

The Parentals are moving to FL (yay!) and so have decided they want to have lunch with us (less yay) on Monday (FUCK) And since they know we just bought a car, we have no excuse not to go, since we’ll be able to meet them at the location they’ve chosen (not far, only about a 45 min drive) We haven’t seen them in five…

Hi all...long time no squeak. I feel horrible for not having checked in for so long, I have lurked and missed you all.

Speaking of croissants, what’s everyone been cooking and/or baking lately? I haven’t really made anything note worthy this week, it’s been mostly a very sad week with putting my kitty to sleep. If anyone has suggestions for what to do with rhubarb though, I’d love to hear them! I like when a recipe includes poaching…

So happy this is early tonight. Just had surgery and have nothing to do except read SNS or take more pain meds. It’s going to be a fun night. 

the starbucks by my work has stopped selling their almond croissant and I am LIVID about it!!

Puerto Rican, apparently. But whatever they were, the attack against Chef Bao Bao reeks of anti-Asian bigotry.

This makes me so angry. That poor cat. It seems like this world is becoming shittier every day.

Seems like the kid’s an evil little fuck raised by evil racist fucks.

These weird takes are all too typical of the writing on Jezebel these days. None of the writers know how to make a cogent point, so they seize on something that sounds cool or topical and try to build a take on that. It comes out disjointed and odd-sounding, if not downright offensive. More and more I come here only fo…

Seriously. What the actual fuck. A child abuses an animal and in response the ENTIRE family abuses a couple (one of whom we know is Thai) and their other animals, and this take is they might have thought it was weird to see a cat on a leash something something gentrification something influencers.

Feel horrible for the cat. Cats are not influencers or gentrifiers. Someone attacked a small clueless animal and killed him.

Does it seem like Jezebel is dying?  The site seems to have fewer articles and they aren’t as interesting as they were in the past.  Unfortunately, during the Trump administration, Jezebel was covering politics constantly, and perhaps the blog lost sight of what people want to read.
