Life is one. big. away. mission.

I didn't sign up to be born on this planet.

There is no war on Christmas.

But I think there might be a war on actual peppermint candy canes.

Cherry, wintergreen, "mint." I just want candy canes.

The reddit for the town we live in has been taken over by grumpy old white men and cops.

All they ever post about is traffic annoyances, how annoying they find bicycles, and 'kids these days' news articles.

It's so sad. But someone should write a guide for what to do when your city's reddit is full of old man squatters.

woah, Walmart is really innovating

In my attempt to learn how to bake this month, I have realized I need a giant sign on the oven door that says "did you remember to let it rise for a SECOND time after shaping?" because I often forget.

Here's the air over San Jose this week, view from when I was flying out yesterday afternoon.

Today's anti-fascist baking adventure is: making simit.

Like a Turkish bagel, covered in sesame seeds, but IMO more delicious

Good progress with the second batch of vegan frøsnapper today. More adjusting to be done... but better!

Today's baking project:

frøsnapper
and
romkugler

Not terrible as a first experiment in veganizing the recipes. But need to try again... The frøsnapper didn't rise enough but they were useful for making the romkugler.

As Rose Nylund probably would say: When life gives you melting frøsnapper, make romkugler.

In case you've been avoiding it, here's a quick sum up.

The Senate stays Republican - Democrats take control of the House of Representatives.

Two good things to take away:
1. It’s no longer a single party government
2. It’s the most diverse House in history with new members who are women, Native people, and muslims.

I think I figured out what's so universally annoying about people posting baby photos to those of us who aren't posting baby photos.

Parents posting baby photos are always posting with incredible optimism about their child 1. remembering this 1 year birthday party and 2. being happy for the rest of their lives like a laughing baby.

Somehow when they have a baby they forget how neither of those things are true.

these turned out very Tim Burton

someone needs to bring the Google folks some romkugler to eat so they know how important it is to translate it as rum balls, not space balls...

Would like to see the Venn diagram of Canadian and Russian winter fashion.
