*hugs* You’re doing so much for him. Mom would be proud of you just like you said. It’s good to be strong for others but you need to take care of yourself too. Make sure you take some time to build up your energy reserves <3

I wiggle all over the place

This is not an image of me confidently peeing our bed while @spottyskunk.bsky.social is away... But it’s damn close.

(Artist and character unknown but thank u!)

It’s nowhere near 3am now tho… how bright is this light?

The only artist I know by Dogz is @dogzrbarkn.bsky.social They didn’t draw that sticker pack tho. I feel like the artist is right on the tip of my muzz >.<

That sheath would revive me for sure!

Sweet onion dip aka “crack dip” with nice toasted garlic rubbed baguette slices. Finally got it to not break by oh what’s that, following the recipe. XD

Made a new to me Italian dish tonight, pasta al baffo. Typically a ham cream sauce, I made it with pancetta bc I had some on hand. The name may originate from an Italian phrase “da leccarsi i baffi” which means “So good you’ll lick your whiskers.”!

It’s just work. I shouldn’t let it affect me so much. Will be trying to keep the mental areas separate and allow myself to enjoy time away from it. Especially with BLFC next week tho I’ll be working during the day D:

I’ve been thru periods of work this stressful before but it has been awhile. Coworker tried to articulate his disdain for a pressure cooker 2026 planning effort we are currently undergoing. And I said “Every day it feels like we’re fighting for our lives.” His reply, “Yep, nailed it.”

-.- same

Thx!! I submitted a form earlier. Appreciate the chance ^^

Thank you! I was happy with the plating for what was a weeknight meal

Oh fuck I also made candied Meyer lemon slices! They’re so cute.

Also probably decide on exact plating for main. And find a big cutting board to house the snack/appetizer.

Marf I bought salami earlier come over we will have out meat party

You will see tho from bubbly liquid to thicker until finally just little bubbles of chorizo fat popping and everything comes together. Chorizo will now be in solid little pockets along with potatoes which have absorbed all the flavor. Add to tacos, put fried eggs on top. Eat with spoon. Enjoy!

Add 2tbsp dark brown sugar. Shake pan to combine + ensure potatoes are covered in liquid.
Cover with lid and simmer over med heat for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are mostly cooked thru.
Uncover and simmer until all liquid has evaporated. You will need to scrape bottom and toss several times

And 1-2 cloves minced garlic sauté for 3 minutes until onions and garlic start to become translucent
Add roughly half teaspoon salt, pepper, chipotle powder, ancho chili powder (regular chili powder also fine)
Toss and then add 2cups of chicken broth
Add tbsp of chipotle in adobo sauce and 1 pepper

Want to enjoy flavor? Here is a recipe for flavor.
1pkg pork chorizo
Put into preheated nonstick pan with olive oil
Cook until crispy and nice
Meanwhile cut up 5-6 small washed Yukon gold potatoes maybe 1/2” thick at most. Think thick small cubes.
Add half diced onion to the chorizo

If looks could kill

I’ve entered my pickled shallots phase. I will be putting them on everything full stop.

Literally having the best day ever. Went to the spice shop and got asked by another customer (who overheard me sniffing peppercorns) if I was a chef. *wag* Then at the Italian grocer a guy randomly complimented my new shirt I just wore for the first time today! *wags*

Hahah That would do it!!
