I feel the same way. I’m scared about the registry for Muslims and what else they plan to do. I feel like my heart is breaking and I am terrified at what will happen. People are already experiencing the effects of this anti Muslim rhetoric. Trying to find ways to get involved and channel the anger and sadness I’m…

Craft Thread!

It hasn’t been debated or anything yet- it was just submitted I believe on Tuesday.

Many bonus points for “feckless fucknuts.”

I’ve been cooking too - Arrabbiata sauce, vegetable soup (a sort of ‘whatever’s left-over’ with mirepoix, tomatoes, and beans), and I have a pot of frijoles charros (Mexican pinto beans, sans bacon though) bubbling away merrily on the stove. The transformation of ingredients into smooth, filling meals is... magical,…

I’m going to miss all the Spanish highlights of our sports.

I made a Texas pecan sheetcake on Wednesday and ate the whole thing as of this afternoon.

33_Footsteps helped me make pineapple upside-down cake this weekend, and it came out great. Also, she made a breakthrough in learning how to stir without flinging ingredients, so I’m hopeful that she’ll be cooking with me for years.

I made early Thanksgiving. Pan stuffing with onion and sage (which I finally got right, first try was too salty and had to go), mashed sweet potatoes, scalloped Yukon potatoes (with their tender, barely-there skins left on), roasted golden beets and their steamed greens, sautéed asparagus, steamed buttered…

I’m lazy so I use box mix but I add chocolate feves then put peppermint extract in them or drizzle them with salted caramel. Super easy but taste fancy.

Haven’t cooked but had a really good ready made meal from my nice grocery store. Grilled rosemary chicken over pasta, goat cheese, roasted cherry tomatoes, black olives, and crushed red pepper flakes.

It’s my first week of Blue Apron, so that’s what I’m cooking and I’m excited.

I made guacamole, picadillo (grounded meat with diced potatoes, cubed onions, tomato puree) and white rice. I had soft corn tortillas. And sour cream.

i set up a recurring donation to the aclu, and i’ve been knitting a lot. i’ve had a few relatively successful conversations with some coworkers, too. but i’ve mostly just been trying to keep it together. i’m the ‘strong one’ in my household, and it helps me to help them keep it together.

I’m making a pizza with buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto, trying to copy the one my husband and I were obsessed with on our honeymoon in Rome. I am always into eating all the cheese and all the carbs.

Not latino, but a white, female, semi-closeted pansexual and I feel you, too (the self-hatred for my white privilege and straight-passing privilege is real right now). I’m asking the same questions. I can only tell you I try to stand up to them and not let them know what you are, because you can’t put yourself in…

Not cooking, but baking: coconut tres leches cake. Om nom nom!

Nothing elaborate tonight. Just a sandwich and some canned soup. I’m making pumpkin turkey chili tomorrow evening, though!

I’ve been working extra hard at the gym. I am planning on backpacking in the rocky mountains next summer, and for one brief moment after the election I thought about giving up on that goal, because it’s going to be expensive and my job is suddenly threatened by the president-elect and I need to be careful.

I made tacos for my girls. And because I’m not eating them, they are full of onions and garlic and tomatoes and spices. You know - like a taco should be. I’m heading out to the Keg with the husband (it’s a steakhouse chain in Canada). I already know I’m getting pistachio crusted salmon with bacon-y Brussels sprouts…
