Come for the fraud fighting, stay for the cookies.
PAM for baking, spray more than you think you need, and pray. I do a lot of baking in Bundts (I’m in MN - it’s practically the law), and I’ve tried everything. PAM for baking has been the best to date, about 90% clean releases. Sometimes the baking gods are just not with you, however.
My cat Barney has a thing about swinging doors: he can open them, but only in one direction. He will go through the swinging door into the kitchen, then meow plaintively from the other side until someone opens it. Maybe it’s the orangeness.
This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Reminds me of my favorite photo of my grandfather, who was a great guy notwithstanding this depiction:
I had a lovely chopped salad for lunch and was thinking to myself “I always eat healthier when when I work from home home“ - but then I remembered I had two pieces of strawberry rhubarb pie for breakfast so… (my husband ate some too, I didn’t eat all of what’s missing)
When you are known for bringing homemade pie, you get a lot of dinner invitations (I think they like me, too.) French silk chocolate pie with bourbon whipped cream.
Did you Google the service number or pull it off of a bill? A lot of scammers are paying for their numbers to come up in Google searches for legitimate companies.
In 16 years, none of our cats ever escaped the screened porch. That changed today with this guy, who ripped the *metal* screen. Luckily the neighbor saw him & texted my husband. The vet tech was right - at his last appointment she said "He looks naughty." 😂 (We have reinforced the screen with wire.)
I heard this is the thread to post adorable photos of kittens that were recently sent to us by the cat distribution system.
If it is low on refrigerant, find someone to get you a A1 tap valve and give it a squirt.
Sending joy to my friends near and far (and to my belly). I usually do this for Solstice but I got behind this year. The light returns! Huzzah!
This was TaterTot. He loved everyone and made “laps” around the living room. Every time we had people over, he would sit on alternating laps.
As Paul Hollywood would say, it’s a little “rough & ready.” Framboisier from the most recent episode of GBBO. Genoise sponge, pistachio crème mousseline, fresh raspberries. I didn’t attempt the sugar dome because I didn’t have the equipment & I piped roses because fondant tastes like 💩.
Here is my five week old kitten looking very concerned, but I’d be concerned too if I were at the emergency vet. (she has a UTI, hopefully the antibiotics will allow her to get well soon.)
