Chef’s dad, also a master sushi chef, popped in today during prep. He says I am too skinny, working too hard, and need a raise.
From your lips to god’s ears, chef. ❤️😂 He’s such a peach.

It has been a shit week, I don’t know what to do, I need to talk to my parents and they are both exceptionally dead. Something, at some point, must give, and in the meantime I just want to lay quietly on something soft.

Zucchini Brownies Dark, moist fudge brownies made with zucchini.

Made a big batch of zucchini brownies (don’t knock ‘em til you try ‘em), individually wrapped them, and put them in the freezer.

Cookies & Cream scones for the coffee shop’s community pantry this week. 🍽️🍪🍰🍫🥛

Restaurant week is the hardest week of the year. We are doing outrageous numbers. My brain and my body feel fully disconnected. And the body just keeps moving. And moving.

That thing when you think someone shares your dark humor so you crack an exceedingly dark joke and very abruptly realize that your original assumption was not correct 😅

A square of coffee cake on a small white and green plate. It has a line of dark filling through the center and a cinnamon crumble on top.

The same coffee cake as the previous photo but before it was cut. The icing drizzled on top can be seen more clearly.

Possessed by demons to bake.

My body’s fun new sign for when I’m overtired (which has been far the fuck too frequent recently) is becoming short of breath, which is extremely annoying but also a very clear and helpful indication that I need to drop everything and sleep immediately.

Two biscotti sit on a small white plate with a blue rim. The biscotti are topped with white icing.

Making biscotti made me want to make biscotti, and who am I to tell myself what or what not to do?

Gingersnap biscotti, white chocolate icing. 🍽️🍪☕️

A picture of Kash Patel with the US Olympic hockey team holding an American flag. The caption above, written by me, says, “HEY WOW YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE *DOING YOUR FUCKING JOB* INSTEAD, you absolute loser.”

Insta warned me that my post may be taken down for this, so I guess you’re not allowed to call a loser a loser anymore? Cool times we’re living in.

A 9” square coffee cake studded with chocolate chips and topped with cream cheese icing sits on a wire cooling rack.

Pregnancy cravings are not to be trifled with. If they want chocolate chip banana bread coffee cake, they get chocolate chip banana bread coffee cake. 🍌 🍫 🍞 🍰 🍽️

For a special pal to whom congrats are due.

So there I was, annoyed that an 18th-century slang term for ‘vagina’ wasn’t accepted as an answer in today’s squaredle…

Wouldn’t it be so fabulous if we just…didn’t completely unnecessarily start a war with Iran? It’s just a thought, but I’m into it. It has legs.

Four vanilla biscotti sit on a blue and pink plate. The bottoms have been dipped in a lemon coating, and the tops have been glazed with a vanilla bean sugar glaze.

Vanilla biscotti, lemon dip, vanilla bean glaze for the coffee shop’s community pantry this week. ❤️🍋🍪🍽️

If anyone, from this point forward, ever tells me to worry less/relax/not let things bother me so much, I am spitting directly into their face.

I’m not kidding.

Fair warning.

Black bean salsa is just an extra zesty pasta sauce.

Holy shit

I have to communicate with people at a car dealership today, so I’m preparing for my absolute ugliest, rudest, most anxiety-ridden self to make herself known.
What a joy.

Oh, duh, WS if you want it is just selvedge, purl to the last stitch, selvedge!

A sage green piece of knitting in progress, in the shape of a triangle, being knitted from the point to the longest side. Two angled red arrows pointing upward on either side indicate the slant of the triangle.

Knitting nerds: how on earth have I never been made aware of this adorable LLI/RLI method?? Starting each row with selvedge, k2tog without dropping yarn, yo, k2tog again, knit to the last three stitches, and then repeating that increase again except TBL followed by a final selvedge?
How TIDY. 😍🧶

We sold a ton of the VDay brownies for work (yay!) but still had a handful leftover - I brought a tray over to the dive bar next door and made a very chill gaggle of drunkards extremely happy 😂

This is tough for me as I don’t like saying nice things about myself, but it’s fine because I don’t cut my own hair: this is the finest haircut I’ve ever received and I’m very pleased with it.

Two dozen cupcakes, a dozen chocolate with chocolate frosting and a dozen vanilla with vanilla frosting. They have green, pink, and white sprinkles.

Also got to make some birthday cupcakes for the cutest little gal I ever have seen (one of my boss’ kids) 🧁❤️🍽️

Shucks 🥹

On a small square plate is a brownie, cut in half diagonally. There is a small dot of whipped cream between the two pieces, and miso caramel is drizzled over the top. There are red glittery sprinkles.

This year’s offering for Valentine’s Day dessert at work - dark chocolate brownie, chocolate ganache, miso caramel drizzle. 😍 She was a hit. 🍽️🍫💝💕❤️

I have gone to text my mother, who has been dead for five years, twice in the last 24 hours, which is extremely weird.
NANCY, I have been asking you to haunt my ass for ages: what are you trying to say?!?!

It’s 7 am; I was at the 24-hr grocery store by 5:45, I am stocked up, Valentine’s Day dessert special for the restaurant is gooooooooo

Your girl learned how to break down a whole side of salmon today! 🍣

Anyone screaming outside of an emergency situation or a sporting event should be subject to six months in solitary confinement.
There are people I love who scream when they’re excited. My previous statement still stands. 😅
