I spent years honing my ability to make this exact shape

just bought a spiralizer so I can throw a potato party

Trust a toddler to remind you that every bad day can get worse with the addition of a little vomit

A deep orange sunset sky with a bright slash of sun breaking through the clouds. A stone fortification with rounded towers juts out into the water and is surrounded at the bottom by scaffolding.

apologizing in advance to speakers of the other Romance languages, it appears that no matter how the conversation starts, within about 5 minutes max I will be responding with poorly conjugated French

6 flights in 9 days is just too many

already bracing myself for what news will happen in the interim

boarding a trans-Atlantic flight with no wi-fi, I'm going to be so good at morse code again by the time I land

being a parent is honestly too much power

casually playing Morse Toad on my ipad until the kid gets curious and steals it away from me

(it worked)

buying a package of 200 popsicle sticks for $2.59 and setting it next to a glue stick, some tape, and some markers has been the best return on investment I've made all year

waffles, right?

so does anyone know what to do if you get a tariff bill from fedex at this point

oh shit

i worked at a michelin-starred place with a great cheese cart :D

going to a fancy restaurant for a $$$ dinner and asking after the cheese course only to discover they're serving what i pack in my picnic spread
