I used my new recipe book to make a birthday cake for my husband - all lactose free. Yellow cake with a dairy free cocoa whipped cream. #obsessedwiththebest #cookbook #cake #veganfrosting #lactosefree #ellaquittner

Stargate S7E1 - Fallen is the best little love letter to #StarWars ever

@peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social on the off chance you are in Atlanta for some reason April 16-19 @renalphysicians.bsky.social is having our annual meeting and you are welcome to stop by.

Stargate S5E14- Rodney's not wrong in his criticisms of the protocol bypassing.

What in the actual Hell?

Holy toledo- that is an unfathomable amount of crazy in that youtube video. Though- if Jack Black and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social want to to do a joint PSA - i'd love it. Not prepared for that rabbit hole-thought i was clinking on a jack should play him in the movie kind of thing

Mini batch of chocolate chocolate chip scones. Subtle and not overly sweet - good thing i wrote down what i did while playing with this recipe. Can't wait for #teatime tomorrow

In a nutshell- the current administration has gotten us into a mouth writing checks that the body can't cash situation - with missiles.

Did we threaten to invade *checks notes* Spain today?

For no reason other than she is 6 lbs of awesomeness Miss Stevie #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop

A series of screen grabs that effectively illustrate junior high me's personality flawlessly in its entirety. And also why I had no dates. #lesmis #victorhugo #geek #nerd #lesmiserables Yes, i've read the book - twice in junior high and once as an adult. And I can quote the entire musical

WTF? *smacks head against wall*

It is currently only 68° here in Honolulu- and very cloudy, wet, and windy (gusts of 40-60 mph) But- our lanai is still a great place for cake and tea for breakfast. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. 2nd pic is from crack of dawn walk- the hotel next door

Puff pastry cups - 3 ways Mushroom Vegan crumble with peppers and onion Vegan crumbles with cheese and peppers and onion All in a redwine reduction

Balmy afternoon in paradise as democracy crumbles- I make dark chocolate souffles. Its how I cope. #hawaiilife #bakingmyfeelings #chocolatesoufflé

I'm feeling the Oh, Canada moment. We once had leaders who spoke with such poise and conviction. #TakeDownTheSigns Watch it or read it -it is worth it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

To everyone who was too precious to vote for the qualified woman (or to even vote at all) - are you happy now? Literally watching our democracy and world relationships dismantled- and we have 3 years to go.

Had this been a plot in Veep- I'd have laughed my head off. But it's not. In this messed up timeline the entire world is having to actually deal with this. Greenland. NATO and 75 years of stability and trust over an unstable orange muppet's ridiculous whims. There goes the planet #MelBrooks

Know what was disrespectful to law enforcement? Attacking them on Jan 6th... now what did he do about that again?

Just when I think I couldn't possibly WTF harder- this. There is not a WTF big enough or loud enough. The "not" nazis just pasted a Nazi slogan on their podium. #noem #makeitstop

Living in Hawaii and waking up after the rest of the US has started giving me serious morning anxiety- waking up wondering what fresh insanity has been unleashed- every single day. So- here is our cute dog - cause WTF dude.

Cake for breakfast is my vibe for 2026 #TeaAndCake

What is it with Greenland? Why this single minded obsession? Did Greenland bully him on the playground or something? This is insane.

We are 5 days into 2026 and already *checks notes* The Kingdom of Denmark is having to threaten us with NATO. Just WTF?

In all seriousness- it is frightening how much of our democracy actually functioning was based on having a semi decent human in our highest office. It is kind of amazing that we made it 200+ years Clearly we need steonger guardrails

This song and very pointedly his adlib at the start is hitting me in the feels this morning #RandyNewman #Boom youtu.be/Kg_LDeUEiWY

What are the Vegas Odds on congress actually doing their job on this debacle that occurred over night? Anyone?

I had the privilege of briefly meeting Chuck- and saw him perform multiple times at JazzFest. I applaud his decision.

The end of The Birnam Wood episode still guts me. Even knowing this isn't when we lose Leo- it still guts me. #theWestWing

The Supremes is easily one of the best episodes of The West Wing. On my 5th (maybe 6th) re-watch and I really want to believe we can come back from where we are to something nearing the aspiration this episode gives. #thewestwing

Random Holiday Baking - brown sugar Mallorcan Sweet Rolls. With a husband who is allergic to cinnamon- this is as close as our house gets to cinnamon rolls

Did Venezuela magically become an island in the last 24 hours?

Meet the newest member of House Dixon- Miss Stevie! She is 6 pounds of adorableness! And 3-ish years old Adopted from the Hawaii Humane Society today. #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #chihuahuamix maybe a little #chinesecrested

This might be the right number of screens to successfully run a nephrology practice- 1 for EPIC 1 for Excel 1 for outlook 1 for teams and 1 for funny animal videos (vital for sanity) #nephsky

Ugh! #gardein discontinued their vegan beef broth! It made the best French onion soup- that just happened to be vegetarian. So disappointed.

Long live The Oxford Comma #oxfordcomma

Guess where this girl is tonight! An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes. I was the very first for my signed copy and photo (to come). Thank you to the bestest husband ever for the ticket!!!! Graham Dixon #caryelwes #theprincessbride

So Visa processors get to be Doctors and actuaries now... Absolutely no way this will be abused. Now- can we talk about that Ocean front property in AZ? www.npr.org/2025/11/12/n...

Even rainy morning traffic is better in Hawaii

Dinner meetings are just better in Hawaii. We are not distracted by the view... really.

Rewatching Stargate SG-1 and S7E18 still gets me. I cry every single time. #stargate #sg1

The star of the morning @robertblaser.bsky.social prepping us all for @renalphysicians.bsky.social Hill Day. #nephsky #nephrolgy

Bright and Early! Renal Physicians Association is kicking off Hill Day. All these RPA members are ready to go advocate for Nephrology and Kidney Care! #RPAHillDay25 #advocacy #nephrology #kidneycare #nephsky

View from the Admirals Club in HNL- winging my way to DC for some Kidney advocacy shenanigans @renalphysicians.bsky.social #RPAhillday25

I did snort laugh when I saw this one #biblethumpers #oldtestament

So- exactly what war is supposedly ravaging Portland? I must have missed something. Did we actually start a war with Canada and I didn't get the memo?

Tea and toast to start the day on our new lanai. Distant sounds of waves crashing in. I can almost forget about all of the boxes waiting to be unpacked

Everything is in the new place- technically 🤣🤣🤣
