Cooked Chinese dinner, with soy braised pork belly, bok choy in oyster sauce, and garlic miki noodles. (Not in photo: rice, because you must have rice.) #ChefRat

I baked some baguettes to go with tonight’s beef and carrot stew. Fresh baked bread is always a treat! #ChefRat

Tonight I cooked crab fried rice. This is a great way to turn a small pot of crab meat into a big, comforting dish. Features egg and basil for a Thai angle. Pro tip: cook the rice ahead and cool it in the fridge to avoid the gumminess. #ChefRat

“Above Seattle”, a modern impressionist work created by the iPhone starting to slip from my grasp

I need to repeat to myself: “The con is over. I must not greet people with ‘Squeak squeak!’ The con is over. I must not greet people with ‘Squeak squeak!’” Had a great time and met a bunch of new folks and old friends. Cheers, all! See ya next time. #FC2026

Aether Snep (and yarn). Wonderful and colorful snep! #FC2026

Pepper! Lovely bird but don’t know their bsky so tag if you do. #FC2026

Duncan — such a sweetie he’s got sprinkles! #FC2026

A charming blue bird I met — @teratto.bsky.social #FC2026

I got to be my coony self, out and about with a fox! <3 @treycat.bsky.social Thx @rcoony.bsky.social for pic #FC2026

I'm heading off to San Jose for FC soon: YAY!! I have to figure out how pack everything: Auggghhhh :P Lemme know if I'll see you there! #FC2026

Tonight I made beef and veggie soup for dinner. Really rich and full of vegetables — 7 different ones or 8 very technically by counting the parsley ;) #ChefRat

See you at FC!

Pattern drafting… an important but less visually exciting part of the fursuit making process.

Tonight’s dinner was sausage and white bean soup. Easy and even frugal dish but big on flavor! Some cheap Johnsonville sausages, canned white beans, kale, and a typical soup base (more poix, broth). Try it! #ChefRat

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

Tonight I’ve made a hearty beef stew. On the side, homemade bread rolls. A great winter dinner! #ChefRat

Shrike Rider #doodle

TIL there's a death metal band called Hatebeak which has a gray parrot as the vocalist. Per wiki, "They never tour so as to not distress Waldo" the parrot. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatebeak

I’ve been organizing and upgrading my workshop setup. Today’s project was making a new holster for my heat gun! This was done with a bit of scrap pine board and galvanized wire. The board is “stained” with some acrylic paint and rubbed with a touch of black ink to (cheaply) give it some character.

Short Christmas story ASL. Hope you have a great Christmas today! Merry Christmas! 🎄

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

If you find yourself wondering, "Can I use that leftover brie to make a grilled cheese sandwich as a midnight snack?" then (a) you might be a rat and (b) yes, you totally can, and it's yummy.

Blueberry muffins, a personal favorite! Topped with a lemon sugar glaze. And no chihuahuas hidden in there—that’s a joke for you older meme fans ;) #ChefRat

A foggy, winter afternoon with a mug of tea

Tonight I made roasted rack of lamb, garlic-sage potatoes, a carrot puree, and charred leeks. Trying to live up to that new Ratatouille kitchen sign? ;) I had fun with this one and it was pretty tasty! #ChefRat

I’ve got a new kitchen decoration! Finally had a chance to hang it up there and it looks perfect. :)

Big fat juicy rodents!

Y'know, I've always been fascinated by rats. They have a bad reputation, tho, so it can be tricky to explain why I connect with them. I also like raccoons! I have a raccoon character, people love them, they're fun and fluffy and cute, their reputa-- apnews.com/article/drun... Dangit!

"Ratatouille he ain't." My good turd, his name is Remy!

Boxcraft! Continuing in the push on workshop organization, I repurposed 1.5 large Amazon boxes to make a storage tray that fits under my shelving and can store flat material sheets. Got the cardboard and marker aesthetic going on. It’s practical tho!

It’s a magical foggy morning. The hazy future waits among the trees. What will you find down your chosen pathway today?

Full of turkey from thanksgiving, this #FursuitFriday is a day of rest on the fallen leaves. From last year's photoshoot, still really pleased with how these photos turned out.

Overnight, a 15’ branch blew down from one of our trees. Check out the wonderful lichen and moss on this “dead” wood!

Free Turkey via Wall.

Happy Thanksgiving! #ChefRat

Appetizers are out for afternoon snacking. The rest is cooking or being prepped. #ChefRat

Finished cleaning the extra folding table, clearing the kitchen table, checking cabinets, peering into a packed fridge... Yes. The eve of the confrontation. Echoes of turkey gobbling will fill prophetic dreams tonight. Our knives are sharp. Tomorrow... thanks will be given. #ChefRat #ChefSurrealism

On impulse, I made dessert tonight. Based on time and what I had on hand (key: a handful of apples that needed to be used), I made an apple tart with almond streusel top. My first time making a short crust tart from scratch, actually! A bit rough and ragged but entirely yummy. :9 #ChefRat

Remember to always disinfect, wash, air, and/or brush your fursuits. Don’t be a stinky orange! ;D I can also personally recommend the low-residue spray scents for fursuits by @lobitoworks.bsky.social Delightful

Finally found a restroom for costumers only only

In cleaning and organizing the workshop I found this—a part of something but I’ve got no memory of it. Is this a left-handed sprogue? A reciprocating dingle arm? An oblong manxome coil suspension rig? A trunnion gauge? Help me out! Wrong answers only please.

Not something I expected to see from Disney but, sure, let's go with that. :D

I made chicken ballotine — thighs rolled around stuffing with bread, collard greens, herbs, and garlic. First time doing this preparation and it came out reasonably well I think! Also: homemade dinner rolls. :) #ChefRat

Tonight I made meatloaf, roasted potato wedges, and a salad. Nothing overly fancy but certainly very satisfying! #ChefRat
