Sorry pie haters I couldn’t hear you over the symphony of god’s light

what if we kissed in the snow by the campus hazardous waste storage facility 🙂

I love it when you're in the grocery store behind someone buying things in mysteriously large quantities. This lady today had 50 pounds of ground beef and ten gallons of pineapple juice. What you got planned, lady?! Can I come?!

gonna need to go to confession after what I just did to this poor guy. Dry brine has commenced!

or a kiwi pie (with apologies to the noble pavlova)

What's going on with figs. Why isn't there a fig pie

I'm now just looking at lists of fruits, imagining that I will develop and popularize a new World's Most Popular Pie

other pies: One time I made an ok chess pie--not my favorite but a novel delight and I'm glad I tried it. Blueberry is too sweet for me. Banana cream pie is top tier. Pies I have yet to try: shoofly pie, shaker lemon pie, walnut pie

greatest pies: strawberry rhubarb (all) and one specific 50/50 peach/groundcherry pie I made the summer I was doing my oral exams. Cherry also top tier. Apple pies can be good but I often find them finicky. Pumpkin is fine. Pecan is gross. Lemon meringue is an excellent dinner party showoff dish.

a literal Bone of Contention!!!

my divorced friend is crashing w/ me for a bit (third time this has happened in 5 yrs, I am the post-divorce crash-pad friend). He has brought his dog, Saturn. Mostly getting along with Ruby despite some blended family growing pains, specifically around bones/the Bone Zone area of the living room.

its construction requires only patience, hot water, and a zest for life

A midwestern classic and, frankly, delicious. Often served at my childhood family thanksgivings with a slice of my Aunt Nancy's multi-layered jello (stock photo below), each piece of which was served on an individual little lettuce leaf. Classy!

have you had a green bean casserole?!

my friend: "John I love you but I really cannot talk about potential jams any more"

a glorious gift someone got me: a Bonne Maman (the jam company) advent calendar....presumably filled with small jars of jam??? I received this thoughtful gift a week ago and have spent many waking moments speculating about the jams that it might contain. Will the jams be outre or safe????

Will this be disgusting??! only time will tell

Double bagged, even 👀

Left unsupervised in the fancy cheese section and now will be retiring several years later than planned

Great piece, Dan. I can confirm: Over the years, this has indeed been a longstanding problem. I've helped fund numerous projects over the years trying to address handwriting recognition and it is exciting to see what we can do today.

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

Hot Honey V8

We’ve gone too far

three hours til I'm free for Thanksgiving! Love this pre-break feeling, when you're the last person on campus.

Poster for ‘Des Alliés Amérindiens A La Cour De Louis XV’ at Chateau De Versailles in Paris, France.

Looking forward to seeing this: ‘The Palace of Versailles and the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac present a new exhibition dedicated to the visit of Native American allies to the court of Versailles. In 1725, four Native..

A bilingual Dano-Norwegian/northern Sámi catechism from 1728, afaik the first printed book in Northern Sámi

Fun fact: Alleyn, earlier famed for title roles in Dr Faustus and Tamburlaine, became John Donne's son-in-law (m., as his second wife, Donne's eldest, Constance, 3 Dec. 1623, at Camberwell). #earlymodern

all fruit can be organized on a pair of axes: reliability and total deliciousness potential. Bananas? high reliability, low deliciousness potential. Pears? low reliability, high deliciousness potential

I’m just impressed that turkeys can make that turkey noise with a beak and a freaky little bird tongue. Like that thing is not nimble enough to make a gobblegobblegobble if you ask me. Real impressive sound work on those turkeys.

No email from a library system stirs the imagination like a notice my scan is ready to download through WORLDCAT. The great cat that surrounds the world? That nuzzles the roots of the world-scratching-tree? The great world cat who is and was and shall be? That cat???
