    Strong? arming it.

    Accessorizing

    Kim finally got a Stanley cup this year. It’s a silly trend, and even sillier with the accessories. But, it can be fun – when you sneakily add ‘straw toppers’ like this.

  • Pumpkin Deal

    Pumpkin Deal

    Really hard to beat Trader Joes at Halloween. $5 for pretty huge pumpkins in terrific shape. No limit! I can’t imagine the size of the pumpkin patches that generate these things. So, I asked AI to create one for me:

    When life breaks your arm you get waffles. I guess?

  • Fall Oddities

    Fall Oddities

    First, a missing USB cable is found in the leaves. Then Patrick visited. Probably the only good footage of Noah’s costume comes from a security camera.. that fits.

  • A Divisive Sandwich

    A Divisive Sandwich

    As far as I can tell, this stove is older than me. There is no real documentation and the internet is void if information. Someday it might need to be replaced, but for now, the occasional drip pan and burner replacement keeps this thing truckin. You just have to know where the burner dial is,…

  • Salmon and Potatoes

    Salmon and Potatoes

    In the air fryer! Ridiculously easy. Sprinkle some oil and stuff on the filets, toss potato chunks with oil and other stuff. Potatoes took 20-25 minutes I think? And probably 5-7m with the fish. Parchment under the fish helped fry the skin better and keep any off flavors from the rest of the machine. Also…

    Late October, things come alive!

    New Chairs in Use

    Or, incorrectly in use. Anyway, new kitchen chairs. Always entertaining, this dog!
