Stoked to try this recipe for cheesy scalloped potatoes tonight. Added some extra mozzarella and a pinch of nutmeg but otherwise followed their recipe. www.forkinthekitchen.com/gruyere-scal... #Cooking #Baking #ScallopedPotatoes

You are such a beautiful writer @theoriginaltomjoad.bsky.social “…and the sky goes so far and so flat that a man standing in a field feels not small exactly but accurately sized...feels the true proportion of himself against the world, which is a thing most people spend their lives avoiding.”
WIP update, back to this triptych for my Pamplisest series after almost a month.
Regarding the Ganesh in my pamplisest series, it is a Balinese bone carving gifted to me close to 40 years ago. Its symbolism as both a remover of obstacles and master of serpents has held potent meaning as well. I lived in Indonesia in 87-88, which has held tremendous influence in my life.
It’s hot today! Called for some chill mock sushi rolls. Really hit the spot!! Canned albacore, seasoned jasmine rice, slices of avocado, cucumber, carrot and pickled ginger. Next hot day I am going to do some more.
First canvas of the Pamplisest series. Painting 1 of the Tool tryptich, Eulogy.
Almost done with our move so got to start some paintings this week. I’ve missed it!! These are process trial pieces for the Pamplisest series.
Duuude…been missing some lasagna! This one is a use it up mix of burgundy beef cheeks, pasta primavera veggies, Cento San Marzano tomatoes, eggplant, ricotta, a few cheeses and red sauce in the bottom snd alfredo on top. Can’t wait to see how it worked. Or didn’t 😅 #UsingSpices ☺️
#TodaysRead “What else could see hear the chain of a swingset and fall to its knees? What else could touch a screen door and taste lemonade? What else could come back from a war and not come back? But still try to live? Still try to lullaby?” poets.org/poem/tincture #Poetry #AndreaGibson

Finally have the kitchen unpacked and organized. Though the apartment is bigger, the kitchen is smaller—took some tetris-ing but it works now. Eager to do some cooking with spices again!! 😁
I am still surprised by how few read Project 2025. If you haven’t yet you really ought to. They literally said what they were going to do before any of them were in these positions. And they are doing it exactly. Read and note what is coming next. www.reddit.com/r/politics/c...
This article is interesting. In several ways. It lends hope. It gives a glimpse into the playbook. It whistles. It links an Epstein connection. It has been altered. It shows why Wayback Machine is blocked. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/o... #Orban #Trump #Signal #Epstein #DanubeInstitute
