It was legit announced at my work this week that people should light candles if they’re depressed.

I would love it if someone bought me pistachio paste.

What am I even doing with my life, when I could be a cake artist?

Nolan is like a lot of other people right now. He wants what he is used to having and refuses to accept that circumstances have changed.

Yet again, individualism rules, and this seems at least partially influenced by the conceptual opening-up of the home that the family room helped spearhead. After all, what is an open-floor plan that offers all things to all inhabitants but one, big happy family room?

Beer!  If you’re gonna break a law, really break a law. 

Kitchen islands really came into their own in the ‘80s and ‘90s, when kitchens became the central waystation of the home, a gathering place for the increasingly scattered members of the family and the pilot’s seat for the second shift that so many women were pulling.

Not sure that almond flour is really that much cheaper than paste? I find most mega marts these days carry almond paste and the nuts with no problem. The nuts will go rancid very fast, so make sure to keep them in the freezer if you’re not going to use them in a couple days.

See, I was thinking more along the lines of earplugs (to block out rooster crowing and dogs) and a DVD set of When Animals Attack so they’d know not to fuck with the wildlife.  

LOL at his executive order to make sure Americans get vaccines first. Executive orders direct the executive branch of the Federal government. I have no idea how such a thing could prevent privately owned companies from selling where and when they want to sell.

My friend sent this to me earlier all like tHis is the DOWNFALL of ciVILizATION  but it is exactly my kind of ridiculous

Orange cats are the best, and I approve.

Yeah it afflicts everyone. Kids have 8 pairs of shoes each too, half of which don’t fit but are still there for when they refuse to put on the new shoes. And three hats because who knows if they want to be an animal or a superhero today.

Hmm no discussion on the need for such a thing being partially driven by consumerism? Part of the issue that people used to have few pairs of shoes, maybe one jacket and one coat, one pair of gloves, hat and scarf. A small amount of stuff that could easily fit into a coat closet for the whole family.

It’s really hard when you realize there’s such a deep disconnect about something so important.  We should probably start a support group for “I didn’t know my loved one was a selfish, self-centered bastard”  I know we’re not the only ones in this position.  

Yeah I had a huge fight with one of my besties. It was like May and he was insisting about it being time to open up everything again already, because lockdown is such an inconvenience and made him anxious. I asked him how many people had to be dying for it to be worth a little inconvenience in his life.

I did the baby foot thing and my skin reacted badly and they barely peeled but they itched like the devil for three days. I would have preferred vacuuming.

It’s so unfortunate. How come no one wants to pay us for being hermits?

Well, I got a stove. It was a cluster from start to end and the end part was the professional insisted the stove would fit and the stove... did not fit. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been since the contractors were coming back to fix the scratches they made on the cupboards. So they trimmed the counter back so it…

Crackers are made with laminated dough.  Most cookies are not, and those that are, are laminated for looks and not texture.
