It's a boy ☺️ ☺️ ☺️

I ate the last one yesterday and I am so sad I didn't savor it enough

A couple weeks ago I emailed my fave chicken sandwich spot to see if the flavor I love will ever come back on the menu.

So they special made me four of them yesterday. Cried in the car on the way home. They were so, so good.

36.

We got a new pet last night.

Still in there, and graduated from the fertility clinic today!

Adelaide's ultrasound of her and her husband's baby. It is very, very tiny, but it is there. It says "Hi, Mom and Dad." Very cute.

Cookin'.

It's finally time.

I got mine at a local big Asian grocery - I would definitely check that out first if you have one in your area

Caramelized (sorta, I didn't spend a ton of time on them), brie cheese, thyme, flaky salt, and a dab of fig jam.

Yes, my husband has a pellet smoker.

It's posted!

Smoked Whole Duck (Crispy Skin + Juicy, Tender Meat) This smoked whole duck turns out beautifully golden with incredibly crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat all the way through. It's a simple but impressive recipe that brings restaurant-quality result...

This got hella traction!

This was the duck recipe! www.windingcreekranch.org/smoked-whole...

Ooh next time. Didn't bother with keeping the drippings, I didn't have any ideas brewing 😂😂

It was WILD. Melt in your mouth, perfect temp.

Oh God I wish I knew the pounds. It was a standard Culver Duck brand. We dry brined it for 24 hours and then smoked it for about 2.5h total. Took a little longer than recipe said but it was freezing out so we bumped the temp up a little.

It was not crispy unfortunately, but not rubbery. I also forgot to pick the skin per instructions and I wonder if that was the trick. We may also just try broiling it next time.

Smoked a duck for the first time yesterday, and it was absolutely divine.

it is the most wholesome shit i've ever seen on television. husband and i just cried and laughed the whole way through. so so special!

It was SO fun, thank you so much for everything!!

I took negative zero pictures (including missing one with my BFF) so I forgot to share, whoops.

We had the BEST time. So glad to spend a weekend with some of my oldest friends.

AND finally got to play Blood on the Clocktower thanks to @notsospeedruns.live!

Back home in Detroit, first TTRPG convention experience with zero anxiety and depression finally in the books, lol.

I'm the only one in my group that got into a Blood on the Clocktower session that filled up in literally a SECOND and now I don't even want to play :( #PaxUnplugged

This is already the best PAX of my life. I just realized my best friend of 15 years - that I haven't seen in forever - was sat a table away from me. We had no idea either of us would be here. I have never sprinted faster for a hug.

Oh, PLEASE feel free to say hi if you see me this weekend! There is no one I wouldn't love to give a hello and a hug to.

Our third Friendsgiving in the books!

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

And we're not even talking about exes and relationship shit, just the exhaustion of constantly being on a stage under a microscope, always performing for Twitter. Why the fuck did I put up with it for so long? For the La Croix whiffs of fame?? I wasn't even GOOD! I was just hot!!!

On the plus side, I swapped therapists a couple weeks ago to try somatic & IFS and when we've talked about my experiences in this space, it's always been very validating to hear someone else say how hellish it must have felt, in amidst the feelings of success and even joy.

(Also IFS rocks)
