Me & my m-i-l went out to breakfast before the farmer's market yesterday morning at a local coffee place, Mom 'n 'Em's in Madisonville. One of the specials was strawberry rhubarb jam on ricotta toast with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon zest. I met a friend for coffee there today and had it again.

Meeting a friend for coffee this morning and promised her cookies. Does anyone in Cincinnati want some? Also have some of the soy maple peanut cashew brittle that got mixed in left over as well.

Last night's before-bed-we-have-nothing-for-breakfast-baking: English muffin toasting bread

Had a lovely weekend in Montreal where spring is about 3 weeks behind here. These cherry trees were right outside the Place-d'Armes station in Chinatown

@theotherbfg.bsky.social and I clean up pretty good

Our rhubarb sent up a bloom stalk and the seeds look like alien pods. Have never seen one do this before. Now it's sending up more regular stalks, too.

Our Springer, Alfie, now has no-slip socks to help navigate the hardwood floors.

Okay, so tonight I'm apparently going to have to catch up on FFXIV fanfest announcements. I am easily a patch and a half behind so plenty to catch up (and lots of time to do so) before the next expansion at least. But can someone tell me if dragoon gets the 2nd geirskogul back? Asking for a.. me.

Yesterday in pictures

Soon @theotherbfg.bsky.social !!

FML. Sitting here, minding my own business, being productive in back to back to back calls and the filling on the back of my front tooth decides to pull a Houdini. There goes my afternoon and my 💸💸💸

I was going to post this as "cage check" Need to order larger cages for four of them.

A happy Rex Manning Day to all those who celebrate!

Cake was a hit, I think.

Happy pagan butt plug day to those who celebrate

Chocolate cake. Chocolate pastry cream, chocolate icing. Went with a rustic finish (did clean it up a bit after that last pic)

I'm late, but please enjoy my fat cake Friday pic.

Peanut butter miso cookies with maple soy peanut brittle V1.0 are a success. They're savory sweet with a little saltiness thrown in alongside the caramely flavor from the brittle. Think I'll invert the peanut butter to miso ratio next time and make them smaller instead of 18, 3" cookies.

Kitchen experiment: Maple Soy Peanut Brittle Slightly savory, not super sweet, crunchy, caramely. Going into peanut butter miso cookies tomorrow.

Cleaned up the Ooni for pizza one night this week. Little more scrubbing to go, but will be nice to have it back up and running.

JFC I would be less tired and achy if I'd stayed out all night throwing elbows in aosh pit. Fucking weather fronts. Not enough coffee in the world this morning.

One of my "oh god I'm getting old" traits is being annoyed when you get cash from the BANK and it's not faced. It's the bank! Of all places the money should be orderly!!

Fuck.this.shit.

Spent a good portion of the day hanging pictures with @theotherbfg.bsky.social help. Rearranged a few pieces we already had on the walls to make room for lots of new stuff.

Oh fuck Hulu.

Had a fantastic anniversary dinner tonight at Salazar. Didn't even try to take pics of all the courses, but they were all very tasty. As was the bubbly.

I love our neighborhood (Now with corrected alt text)

Why does today feel like tomorrow should be Saturday instead of only fucking Thursday?!

Tulips from yesterday's farmer's market

Happy anniversary @theotherbfg.bsky.social !! 6 years married!! (And 9.5 together)

Today's work mood is resisting the urge to buy a bag of Easter candy and call it lunch. .. though a bag of Cadbury mini eggs is 16 grams of protein.

Restarting Balder's Gate 3, again, because it's been so long I have literally forgotten how to play.

Fucking hell how is it only Tuesday

Yes, they do in fact taste as good as they look. They're filled with blood orange caramel.

Signs of Spring in Cincinnati from last week when it wasn't cold and snowing.

Visiting friends in Green Bay and I have, unintentionally, dog whispered their frenchies.

Me: can you send the file from the exact dataset where you're seeing an issue? Them: sure! (Sends comparison file) Me: ... Me: ... Me: no, not the comparison file the literal single data point I asked for the first time

Today's baking took place first thing this morning but I was too busy to post a pic till now. Banana walnut bread.

Mission accomplished. Both ears re-pierced. Moonstone set in titanium. ...now do I wait for these to completely heal before redoing the second hole on my left ear .. or just until next week 🤣

Appointment set at local piercing place for 4 this afternoon.

Thinking today's the day I get my ears re-pierced. Stopped wearing earrings 20ish years ago when I was desperate for a job and in a much more conservative area. Feeling very, "Yes, I'm a middle-aged fag" (without the sponge painted walls)

Yup. Little snowy. Again.

Inside the booty ho....cake.

Looks at what I made. Really looks... Did I just make a gay man a pink booty hole cake for his birthday? ..I think i..yes, yes I did. I even gave it a pearl necklace

Breaking News: Spain issued a decree allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency. The measure is bucking a trend, as many Western governments have cracked down on illegal immigration.
