Look at that face. I mean, just look at it. How am I supposed to get anything done with that face looking at me?

Burger patties, tots and tortellini salad. Simple and easy. 🍽️🐾❤️☮️😎

Claudia Long, R.I.P. February 7, 1950 – February 11, 2026

thank you to the thousands of people who have posted, commented, private messaged, texted, and phoned to offer condolences over yesterday morning’s passing of my wife Claudia Long. I deeply regret that I can only reply to the smallest fraction of you, but I want you to know that ... [1/2]

someone stole my dish of hot potato covered in cheese, so I'm persona non gratin

I made this Tortellini Salad today using green olives, scallions, homemade diced escabeche, cilantro and feta cheese. Dressed in my fave Olive Garden creamy Italian. 🍽️🐾☮️🐝😎

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Kindness makes a difference.
It isn’t always simple, and some days you may not have the strength to give it.
That’s ok
But whenever you can, add a little love to the world, because all of us need more of it than we realise

I’ve got the recipe but it’s too long to post on Bluesky.

February has been kind to my little writer’s heart. Ima be published twice!

My short story, “A Kiss of Saltwater and Ash,” was accepted in Micromance Magazines upcoming anthology.

All those years of daily writing, wondering, and imposter syndrome wrangling were worth every second for this feeling.

Evening, y’all.
I made a pan of fudgy brownies with chocolate chips and topped with walnuts. One of my easiest and favorite baking recipes. So good! 🍽️🐾☮️

Why did nobody tell me how easy it is to make cultured butter? Cream and buttermilk on the counter for about 16 hours until thick. A minute with an electric mixer. Rinse and knead in cold water. Mix in a bit of salt. Incredible tasting butter. So little work for something that tastes amazing! 🍜🍽️

I baked a salmon filet, made a cauliflower and squash salad and had some street corn with mayo, spices and cheese. All so delicious and easy peasy. 🍽️🐾☮️

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday

Every day is filled with choices.
Today, choose kindness & compassion

Make it your goal to be the reason someone had a good day today.

It always feels like the end of an era when a rat over 3 years old passes. I'm so grateful she lived such a long, spirited life. She was so sweet and gave tiny kisses and took care of the other rats. I had her since she was like 4 or 5 weeks old.

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday

Some paths are quiet.
Some feel long.
But every step counts, and progress doesn’t have to be loud.
Walk today at your own pace.

I do a cookie donation every month at a local homeless kitchen and I made a batch of peanut butter cookies for the lunch bags they pass out. It’s a nice treat for people to enjoy with their meal. Peace. 🍽️❤️☮️🐾

I'm learning way too many fresh atrocities this morning and I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee 🫩
