Scott Adams died. Somewhere deep in my archives is the interview I conducted with him for a class I took in High School. It is really unfortunate that he became such a jackass in recent years.

My horoscope according to the Carrot weather app:

Why in the fuck are people suddenly commenting on a post I wrote ::checks notes:: over a *month* ago?!

It smells amazing in here! The other week, I took advantage of the 5/$1 plantain deal that ShopRite was running. And in about 15 minutes, Brian and I will be eating the Pastelón de Plátano Maduro (Dominican pastelón) that I made. 😊

Bob Weir, founding member of the Grateful Dead, passed away. ::raises glass::

I love #ShopRite Can-Can sale!

It’s been 30 years since the Blizzard of ‘96. I remember digging a pathway for my dog in the backyard and then him just bunny hopping through the snow anyway LOL!

::Megaphone:: Can we please stop armchair diagnosing people?! No, sorting multicolored candies isn’t “a touch of the ‘tism” the fuck!

I wasn’t where there was internet yesterday, so I’ll say it now: Happy King Cake season to those who celebrate!!

Vat of homemade chicken soup day? Vat of homemade chicken soup day! #dinner

Sun snow showers are always fascinating to watch!

Oof. I haven’t slept a wink all night and I’m upset about it. Haven’t had a bout of #insomnia this bad in about a month. 🥱

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Nam Prik Ong Lasagna is served and holy fuck it’s delicious!! #Dinner

The hardest part is having to wait before dishing out a lasagna. It smells absolutely amazing in here. #Dinner

2.5 hours later and I have pre-prepped everything for tonight’s NYE #dinner, which I now realize I haven’t told you all what I am making! 🙀 I’m making a Thai fusion dish: Nam Prik Ong Lasagna, which was created by the owner of a restaurant called Anajak Thai.

Thank you for all of your suggestions for what I should make for NYE #dinner. Brian and I have finally decided on a food and I am once again excited for tomorrow. (Really, being priced out of our usual NYE meal super bummed me out.)

Because we’ve been priced out of our usual NYE dinner outing, I’m trying to figure out what I can make for dinner at home that is special. Ideas welcome.

I just made a really yummy bean dish for #dinner. There was poblanos, red bell peppers, pinto beans, tomatillo salsa, cilantro stems, and Jack cheese. Garnished with cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime.

Home not dead from #AVeryPlanklChristmas Also, gassed up the car & got the bread and milk! Snow is coming.

We chose wisely! Huzzah! And we are back on the Island. Next stop: Brian’s folks and then who the hell knows? #AVeryPlanklChristmas

Ahh City traffic. Gotta love it. 🙄 On a related note: Key item: Brian’s brother is now safely at home. 😊 Now to toss a coin for which parking lot we want to continue sitting on: The Cross Bronx or the Deegan. #AVeryPlanklChristmas

On the way home from #AVeryPlanklChristmas

The Nutcracker has gotten into the wine! #AVeryPlanklChristmas

Cheese board with 2 yummy salami (truffle and something else). It’s all tasty. (Cheeses: Brie, an espresso rubbed one, Boursin with black truffle, cheese ball with nuts, and some others) Not pictured: a plate of smoked salmon that the host smoked herself. #AVeryPlanklChristmas

The Asti must flow… #AVeryPlanklChristmas

There will be an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest. Here’s my entry: #AgressivelyJewish #AVeryPlanklChristmas

We have arrived at #AVeryPlanklChristmas

We’re a bit early so just driving around a bit. #AVeryPlanklChristmas

Since Brian’s brother came out to us for Christmas Eve, we get to bypass the City today! Woohoo! #AVeryPlanklChristmas

It’s December 25th, and we are now on our way to #AVeryPlanklChristmas

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!!

Thank you SO MUCH, @rudekaty.bsky.social!!!! ❤️

It’s a Festivus miracle!! I just had my final session of PT. It took 1.5 years to get to this point. My physical therapist was wonderful and I could not have gotten to here without him. I am experiencing all the emotions right now!

Happy Festivus!!! "A donation has been made in your name to the Human Fund."

Good Merlinpeen to all of my fellow Verdukians! #30Rock

And now, we lose the 🐿️ 😞 #Mets

Sitting in my living room. My electric menorah aglow. Illuminating the space. It’s so beautiful.

A Magic Garden Christmas is on right meow! On PIX11. #MagicGarden

I decided to attempt to steam “boil” my eggs using my rice cooker since people are forever telling me to do that (I very regularly use my InstantPot or boil on the stove & get perfect eggs every time). The instructions provided by the rice cooker gave me…

Happy Birthday, @gvajr77.bsky.social!!!!!!!!

Happy 1st night of #Chanukah!!!
