Not particularly emotionally invested in today's footballing game, but...

Remains of a seafood paella with shrimps and scallops, and cooked with a lobster stock.

Sky is angry again.

Cheesecake with beets, of course

A cheesecake. Not covered in beets. It has a layer of crushed mango covered in a ring of raspberries, filled with diced red dragonfruit with "15" in chopped lychee. It does look kind of like it's covered in borscht, though.

Wake up, babe. New nightmare just dropped.

I remembered to make cheesecake. Remembered it was too hot to go into the fridge... Forgot I have cats who are STARVING.

Cheesecake in a blue springform pan. There are cracks in the top which the baker does not care about, and a large excavation made by hungry cats which he does care about.

This is a cat checkpoint. Please relinquish your most recent cat pic on your device.

...and...

Orange cat wishes to be fed. He's never ever been fed. Ever.

...but...

Uhtred of Doggenburg, waiting to be told to do something. Or given a snack.

But OTOH...

A can of pickle soda made by annex brewing, *maybe* as an April Fool's joke.

Wait a minute...

A can of Gold-Pak peach juice from Japan. The can is black with a luxuriant image of essentially a peach emoji. Or someone's buttocks. Not clear.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
-Carl Sagan

Pi day+1, I had to work yesterday.

A streusel-topped pie full of blueberries and cherries with 2 pastry cutouts shaped liked stars on top. A piece is missing making the whole thing look like a strange face.

Am apple pie with a golden top crust and a π+1 steam cut on top. It's in a white pie plate and there is a piece missing at the 6 o'clock position.

Oh, no! New DM is just playing with you it seems.

Large orange tabby behind a multicolored D&D DM screen on a wooden table with assorted ROG material scattered on it. There is a rather messy room in the background with an Australian Shepherd lying on the floor.

Check out what the local cheese store had for Valentine's Day, if anyone prefers cheese to chocolate...

The remains of a cheese plate with a small Brie with a heart cut into the top, since cheese stuffed olives, 2 kinds of salami, some 3 year old cheddar, some peppered Gouda, some caprano, some honey chèvre, cranberry spread and some dark chocolate. And one remaining cracker.

Dubai Hot Chocolate Affogato from Apprentics café is INCREDIBLY GOOD. #YYCHotChocolateFest

A white takeout cup on a wooden table. The Cup is rimmed with pistachio ice cream, filled with hot chocolate, embellished with whipped cream and crushed pistachio and has a large phyllo wafer studded with pistachios on top.

Gonna bring a little treat to the office I think.

I just read this book. It sure has some ideas (you're doing at least some of them already).

This raises questions, hospital.

A sign in a sink reading "Do not use Hole in sink. We are aware."

Dog's really the star of this one, honestly.

So goth the tree wears fishnets.

A Christmas tree wrapped in netting, waiting to be put up. It's lying on a wooden floor which could be cleaner.

Addleben@addleben· Dec 1

Yep!

A string of little parcels in red cat themed wrapping paper on a white ribbon, with numbers written on them. It's hanging on the handle of a cabinet in which a yellow bag of oats can be seen.

My only complaint is I'm pretty sure someone grabbed my snow shovel, resulting in my clearing a corner lot with this:

A small pink snow shovel intended for a child's use. In a messy porch.

Same.

This isn't the most amazing picture, but for reference there is the light pollution of 1.5 million people surrounding my house.
