Crochet star ornament in wheat yarn.

I am busy making ornaments for my mother. She asked me to make gifts. These are the prototypes I started with. I have tweaked the patterns and I am happy with what I am happy the later results. I'll post more pictures when I am finished the final products.

Lemon, zucchini, and farro in a frying pan.

I made a lemon zucchini farro bowl for lunches this week. I added lots of mint, basil, and parmesan. It is delicious!

My mom loves Halloween. She gave me this!

OBIE TRICE, REAL NAME, NO GIMMICKS.

WITH FINGERNAILS THAT SHINE LIKE JUSTICE

Ooh! There is also a completely unhinged dance mix of Sussudio, Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton, and a ukulele remake of Def Leppard's Love Bites... all on the same mix.

I couldn't make it today, but told every single person I talked to about it to call me if they punch a TERF or a Nazi and I would come bail them out. I'm proud of my friends and loved ones who supported the counter protest today.

I sent this to my coworker today. What kind of fever dream is Fash Kermit having? Who goes after SLIMEY?

This legit made me laugh out loud.

White plate with multigrain toast topped with homemade hummus, sliced tomatoes, and za'atar olive oil.

This is my new favourite snack! Multigrain toast topped with homemade hummus, sliced tomatoes, and a za'atar olive oil drizzle.

I can do that! Also, I promise I will shriek and cross to the other side of the street shall I ever see you in public, loudly whispering, "SHE WORKS FOR NSP."

Roasted Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts and red onions!

Haha, you are history's greatest monster!

Seriously, though, I was grateful for NSP. I only lost power for 20 minutes! That is fantastic.

Pale pink plastic bowl with green lentil and beet salad.

I also made Glowing Skin Salad from the Healthy Girl Kitchen Cookbook. I love lentils.

A pale pink plastic bowl with homemade hummus topped with smoked paprika, parsley, and dehydrated onions.

I still have power, so I whipped up some hurricane hummus. Stay safe!

Me, too. I'm so jealous of people who can't remember their dreams. Mine are full-scale productions every single time I sleep.

My dad doesn't usually remember his dreams, but he remembers one where he got lost in Province House, a building he's been in thousands of times, haha.

I am definitely a 1. And the details in my dreams are even more terrifying.

Are you in my dining room, haha? I just checked my kit last night and saw it was expired. I was going to pick up a new one tomorrow, but I'll put the expired one back in my bag. Thanks for the info!

Lèse-majesté!

A white bowl with a purple spatula stirring deep red homemade chili crisp.

I made a batch of Garlicky Onion Crunch. It's delicious.

Have you read any of the Giller longlist books yet? Any favourites?

I LOVE Redhanded and Love Murder.

Love in the Time of Fruitflies is a book I'd read the hell out of.

If I am not working, I'll definitely be there.

Good. I love this for him.

Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles! I wouldn't need the lyrics or a drop of alcohol!

This hardly seems fair.

I LOVED Bluenose Ghosts and Bluenose Magic when I was a kid. I grew up in Dartmouth and had lots of access to her books and writings.

Look! The first Songbird Mitten body is finished! I have to put in the thumb and weave in the ends, but I'm happy with the results so far.

My Songbird Mitten is almost finished!
