Chocolate chip cookies with orange extract instead of vanilla. They're extremely yummy. One tray also has some chunks of "orange slices" candy in them. But they don't need it.

Hey American South, friendly reminder that we’re in the “melt” phase of “melt and refreeze” so if you absolutely have to go out and do an errand today, take a long lunch break and do it now instead of waiting for after work because “the roads are clear now.”

4:3 crop is perfect lmao

Just a heads up, tomorrow is Large Boulder the size of a Small Boulder, hope you've done your shopping and holiday meal prep.

About a foot of snow so far, with another 6-12" coming by tomorrow sundown. Plow guy was just here; this photo is the near side of the driveway down, before he got to the second side.

Cookie dough mixed an in the fridge to bake tomorrow! Chocolate chip, with orange extract instead of vanilla. I'm going to put little bits of "orange slice" candy in some, as well, but I don't think it will need that.

Me: Pats won. I think they're going to the Superbowl. Them: Oh thank god. Finally! Some news I don't have to care about.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Is buying a renewed/refurbished phone safe?

I seem to have broken my phone, or at least the screen. I don't know how; I did drop it last night, but it was fine earlier today. Dammit.

Right wing nut jobs: Mamdani is going to impose Sharia law on NYC. Actual Mamdani: please stay warm by reading the free hockey smut available at your local public library.

Most of the hobby subreddits I follow are pissed. Here’s stained glass

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

“If you’re cold they’re cold, bring them inside” unless you have a GSD/Great Pyrenees combo, that you have to BEG to come back after she goes potty. She thinks we should all be out playing frisbee in this glorious cold.
