Swiss style and garlicky beer cheddar fondue with Granny Smith apples and sourdough. Charcuterie on the side. A little date night at home. #cookingsky

Tonight our beloved kitty Éowyn has her haunted eye removed due to glaucoma. I’m excited for her to feel better but anxious because anesthesia and surgery. Behold her beauty and wish her a speedy recovery.

The jambalaya was incredible! Used one of the last Tasso hams I got the last time I had a work gig in NOLA, some artisan andouille sausage, shrimp & chicken. Birthday boy went back for seconds and took a ton of leftovers home. Perfect! #cookingsky

We made a banana cake (with amaretto drizzle) yesterday just because. Everything is terrible so eating feelings is allowed.

Chicken & veggie korma with homemade garlic naan. This naan recipe is so simple it may as well be biscuits in a can. I swear, cooking is the only thing keeping me sane right now. #cookingsky

And now because of course we needed another emergency we have to replace our fucking windshield because a stone the size of a billiard ball smashed into it on the road. FML.

Tonight’s dinner: veal parm meatballs with spaghetti and bonus tomato and garlic confit. #cookingsky

I made chive (from the garden) and cheddar scones and Y’ALL. They’re so delicious and were so easy to make. I can’t believe I made these. #cookingsky

I had some leftover pork & shrimp dumpling filling in the freezer so tonight I made the dumpling lasagna everybody was talking about a few months back. I did not expect it to be as good as it is. Served over cabbage and baby corn stir fry. Holy cats this is yummy. #cookingsky

#todayintgestudio I rolled up Witchy for style, and Glowforge Earrings on my new decision chart for when I can’t decide what to make. I cut some tortoiseshell cat danglies and large celestial danglies. I also went through some unfinished bits and made the dragon wings and glittery pink danglies.

Name a film that’s a sentence.

Have you seen the jewelry I design? I use a mix of original digital and cut wood & acrylic, upcycled jewelry, and new beads to create whimsical, witchy, and sometimes political designs! All of these are currently for sale. Is #makersky a thing?

#todayinthestudio I spent a few hours sorting beads and breaking apart my mother’s old jewelry to upcycle the beads and pendants. A very satisfying and necessary task!

One of these days I’ll learn to stop printing and painting horrors the GM didn’t ask for just because the minis look cool. Now he wants a mega-aboleth for next week because these assholes inspired a whole new encounter.

My favorite back in the day was when I made a Spirit Halloween!

Sous vide and butter-seared T-bone steak, arugula & sun-dried tomato chimichurri. roasted sweet tomatoes. Some of the best tomatoes I’ve ever had! (Dinner for two pictured — this steak is enormous!) #cookingsky

The verdict: Holy moly these are good. Up there with the best tamales I’ve ever had. I can’t believe we made these. Tamales Rojos de Puerco #cookingsky

It’s been a no good very sad day so tonight we’re trying to make tamales for the first time. Pressure cooked a whole pork shoulder in my homemade red chile sauce and shredded it. They’re stuffed into the instant pot for steaming now. I shall report whether this works. #cookingsky

🌈HAPPY PRIDE🏳️‍🌈 from me and my bisexual undercut.

Homemade truffle cheddar mac & cheese, crispy bbq chicken, baby arugula salad. #cookingsky #whatsfordinner

Chicken, broccoli & baby corn stir fry in homemade ginger garlic sauce over riced cauliflower; sesame chicken gyoza. #cookingsky

A year ago today I lost someone I love very much to addiction and alcoholism. Here’s art I wish I could send her from @kilkennycat.art. It’s too fucking perfect and I hate that she’ll never see it. It’s never too late to enter recovery and its never too late to try it again if it didn’t stick.

Fried flounder po’ boy with pickled radish, red beans & rice, fried green tomato with homemade remoulade. Amaretto cherry bread putting with amaretto glaze. This is how I spoil my gamers. #cookingsky #gamenightdinner

Roasted chicken breast; risotto with fiddlehead ferns. The husband made the risotto and absolutely killed it. #cookingsky #sundaydinner

Leftover vegetable stir fry with shimeji mushrooms, papers, spam & Chinese sausage. We’ve been enjoying salad wraps all week so tonight I pulled everything together into a tasty, spicy rice bowl. The spicy sauce I made was perfect with everything. #cookingsky

Oh yes. Oh very yes. Guinness chocolate Bundt. I spoil my game night crew. #cookingsky

I’m baking a chocolate cake (technically a Guinness chocolate cake and not true Devils Food) for tonight’s Pathfinder game night but I really hope it doesn’t aggravate anybody’s IBD!

Today I grocery shopped, caramelized onions, started a batch of fresh yogurt, went to the home improvement store, planted my herb garden, made lemon poppyseed scones, and made short ribs and collards for dinner. Holy smokes, what a day! #cookingsky

I made mango butter!! I found this recipe in a box of cards from my husband’s late mother who died long before we met and it’s so yummy! The card from 1987 is from a little “what are mangoes” pamphlet.

I can’t believe I made this key lime pie from scratch. Historically my pie crusts have been NOT GOOD but The Book On Pie has had nothing but perfect recipes. I’d put this up against anything I’ve had in the Keys. #cookingsky #imadethis
