Jesus Christ is this grim

Milky Way Midnight is the absolute peak of candy bars, FYI

Cooking and drinking in your own kitchen is 1000x better than a bull shit day at ""work"" This recipe is medium-easy, it's just long

Time to cry into my spaghetti sauce!

I should make better friends with my neighbors. Their pecan pie smells awfully good...

Okay, H2G, not sure how vanilla yogurt is gonna go in my tzatziki with the kebabs I have to make to use up your damn peppers but go off

Do you guys know how good @littlefreaklibrary.bsky.social 's pizza is?? So good!

I rearranged the back room to make space for the big "new" desk that I'm keeping from work, and I'm gonna have dinner and watch a movie with my friends tonight! What a successful day!

Part time retail gig secured, while I keep looking for wine/restaurant positions! It's something!

Every ad break seems to add one more commercial in Spanish. Just waiting now for Unsolved Mysteries to come back on en Espanol.

I've had an intense day. Two interviews (both sort of successful, but also both weird?), shot over several more wine resumes/cover letters anyways, went to the mall, been harangued by my mother about the overall Situation plus a lil Thanksgiving guilt trip. Emotional support nachos it is

I want a hunter green, knee length wool coat and I want it before winter starts

Wow, @gpmetro.org . Imagine if there were somewhere handy to place a bench at this bus stop!

We got a wildcard White People Taco Night here Warm flour tortillas, melted shreddy cheese, seasoned ground turkey, fresh pico de gallo I prepped last night after work before deciding I couldn't make it to the show

Wait, should I start a "full time" food "blog" ?? Recipes/cooking, restaurant guide, general bitching? (Rinse and repeat thought, est 2011)

HiFi having closed is putting a real cramp in my needing a weekend breakfast sammy style

Lol, a job rejection email from fucking Whole Foods

My entire Hannaford To-Go order arrived, plus three whole unsolicited green bell peppers

Cutting a pathetic figure these days indeed. A man *eating out of a trashcan* put his sandwich down to say, "I hope your leg feels better soon." (Which was incredibly kind, of course. I hope he's eating at a table soon!)

What should I have for dinner this weekend? I gotta order my groceries tonight.

BEC but make it pasta: Carbonara 🥓🍳🧀🍝

What a delightful day for me, seriously. Clean kitchen, edifying wine club meeting, first snow, a potential job lead, a nice cafe and an illuminating lecture on the repression of the goddess figure thru art history. Now if I could just pay rent in delight!

I've got an hour and a half to kill on the East End/Washington Ave between things right now. Having an afternoon latte for the moment, but seems like there ought to be something to do on a random Tuesday (besides the wine tasting and improbable art lecture at the bathhouse I'm already going to)

Okay, Lin and I just had lunch then watched the movie. It is beautiful art and very, very funny. Cheney is far from the only contemporary figure skewered hard - that list is long indeed. Also, another great Friend Date in the books!

We can't cry here, there's no walk-in freezer!

Hello, and welcome to Sunday: the day I'm likely to Lose It

Boss texted me at 6:45 (she is in another time zone at the moment). Brother called me at 8:15, from the line at the butcher that he bagged a deer but can I please find a copy of his hunting license that he misplaced (again). Can I not just sleep in??

Almost literally rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic here

I think I'm missing a bunch of spoons? This is not a disability metaphor, my silverware drawer has repeatedly come up short several times this week.

Stupid girl didn't overcook my sausage gravy for once (Don't worry, I'm gonna make a green salad later too - this is not the extent of my dinner)

Stupid oven burned my biscuits

Oh no, I made too big of a sandwich

Champagne socialist sounds nice. Everyone should have food and shelter and I like to drink fizzy things

Okay, I've just come from the ortho. They confirmed that I shouldn't need surgery and put me in a bigger, better brace that I can walk "normally" with, even without crutches. I'm cleared to try to go to work later this week and see how that goes too!

In The Inferno, there's a level of hell where the sinners frozen in a lake. Dante is surprised to encounter a living politician in the ice, and Virgil explains that some people are so evil that their souls go down early and there's a demon up there walking around in their skin.

Fuck yeah, I managed to shower and dress without bending my left leg! Now if I could just figure out socks...

It only hurts when I move (it's really hard to just, not move)

The X-ray technician was really cute too

Oh my God, I broke my fucking knee cap

Big titty Pee-wee Herman had a great time at SPACE Halloween, but also slipped on stupid brick sidewalks leaving the party and fucked up their knee (ouch)

Feeling a little silly wearing cat ears to babysit an empty store today...

I got even more mozzarella pearls (and excellent egg rolls) and recently made pepperoncini beef and sliced some regular scallions, so I made a really really good really easy dinner this evening

I really need someone to bring me a large piece of chocolate

I'm sending out resumes as I find jobs posted, but we're entering the off season locally and all our best products are already sold out. I'm showing up 4 days a week until the bitter end anyways and it's so fucking boring.

Thai food and Jonathan Richmond with Liz - what a great friend date! Everyone should go on more friend dates!

My friend said the doom's not gonna scroll itself, but I'm afraid that may not be the case

I was gonna post a wee mini thread about my 20 year old T-shirt, but I realized it's still only 19

I just made a whole curry to use up the chicken I thawed this week, and just realized I forgot to make a pot of rice tonight too

Friend got a VHS copy of Hackers today at work and "accidentally" brought it over, so obviously we watched it. Not only do the filmmakers profoundly misunderstand computers, they also profoundly misunderstand everything else that exists. Fantastic.

Alright friends, I will officially be out of a job at the end of November following last month's fire at our farm. If you know of anything in customer service/hospitality/food and bev/admin/events/hell, dog walking in Portland, ME opening up I need to hear about it.
