Marc A. Ouellette

@ouelletteme.bsky.social, the kids, & i have been saying good-bye to "grrpoff" (& sussing some complicated details of a complicated man). he was an entirely different man here, with so many of chelle's happiest memories of him occurring in this place.

managed to make this pie with that stove (it's a kitbashed stove; iykyk).
admittedly pretty chuffed.

Also consider Under the Mistletoe for many perspectives on holiday romance films including one from me on White Christmas and more from @lizwfab.bsky.social @erinkb.bsky.social @foodandarchives.bsky.social @burnedprof.bsky.social et al! It's on sale right now too!

you don't ever need to explain anything. your credit is always good!

thank you!

in this life i have only gotten 2 things right, marrying @ouelletteme.bsky.social 32 yrs ago today & our kids.

the only cottage whisk, origins unknown, age at least 50.

the word is that these turned out even though i'm using the cottage utensils & implements; the cottage whisk. rainy days mean treats, regardless.

rainy day at cottage used to mean mccain cake for breakfast but we are gluten free b/c of older child's cœliac

could a canadian 🇨🇦 prof of gender, sex, & sexuality living in de facto exile in 🇺🇸 with our 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ kids & who started offering analysis in jan. 2017 enter the chat, please?

boathouse, dock, hockey gear on clothesline & near beach

looking west to the far beach & across to smith island

view north towards the tip of smith island, macpherson island, & darling island

from the hockey gear on the clothesline to the 3 part 270° view across the bay, it feels pretty good to be back in a free country.

box turtle

as i was loading the van, this turtle came scurrying across the basketball court as if to join us

it's definitely an f3. the cement powder helps polish the wings to keep them shiny & the flame helps bake in the finish.

5 line skink

you know it's hot--real feel was 99°F--when the skink finds shade.

gluten free chocolate shortcrust torte with crème crémeux & chocolate satin mousse filling

i changed my recipe for the crust. 🤞

a base will be named after the guy & if we were still alive felix de weldon would immortalize this moment in bronze for arlington.

marc's gluten free bumpy cake as made by chelle!

@ouelletteme.bsky.social did a fantastic job making the gluten free bumpy cake fir (early) father's day (tl;dr).

5 line skink

btwn the rains is a busy time today for the skinks. after chasing away the other skink that occupies the front step, this 5 line skink has retreated to its spot under the post.

far left & far right are a big & a little 5 line skinks

large 5 line skink

blue tailed 5 line skink

between the rains, two 5 line skinks have come out.

36 yrs ago, i was barely 19 & on my 1st co-op placement, in ottawa. the protests in tiananmen sq had been crushed. one of my housemates was fr china. we all went to the embassy to protest. they took pictures & threatened reprisal.

show me the difference btwn that & noem, ice, maga. find a mirror🇺🇸.

i'm pinning this b/c i really don't care how many followers or invites i lose. this is time to ask, a nazi sits at a table & nobody leaves, so how many nazis are there? all of them.

as of today, there are no republican "friends." there are no "decent" republicans. and you can't be my friend if you if you believe otherwise.

i am tired of saying it. these are nazis. heydrich had the ss & gestapo, noem has ice & fbi. folliwing orders is not a defense. you are watching the promise of u.s. america go up in clouds of tear gas & pepper spray to a soundtrack of handcuffs & zip ties.

all of this (esp the myth that "real" u.s. americans don't live in cities) & one more thing. democrats have to be perfect in every way while republicans just have to appeal to single issue voters or suppress voters b/c the dem has that 1 flaw.

even the air farce did a sketch on the move, with big & little bobby clobber declaring their love of franchise with ketchup & vinegar.

black racer

black racer came out to see us. one of at least five snake varieties that live in & around our yard.

gluten free bumpy cake!

@ouelletteme.bsky.social made this bumpy cake for me as an early father's day surprise (tl;dr) & i think she did a fabulous job!

the freikorps were members of the military chosen for loyalty to the nazi party in order to conduct extra-judicial violence, especially politically motivated vigilantism & coercive street violence. in california, they wear "national guard" insignia, as well.
