brown butter brown sugar shortbread These brown butter brown sugar shortbread with a whiff of vanilla bean paste and sea salt are the very best cookies I’ve ever made or eaten.

These brown butter shortbreads look quite basic but they are simply scrumptious! smittenkitchen.com/2023/12/brow...

Sesame bagel toasted with hummus or with jalapeno cream cheese.
Or on a fancy morning, a garlic bagel with cream cheese, lox, capers, tomato and cucumber.

A black-and-white cat stands on a small wooden table, leaning toward a partially open white door and biting the edge of it. The cat’s eyes are wide and curious, and its tail is raised. Behind the cat, various items and cords are visible

Fireflies flash to each other in a timeless mating dance. The hot weather has finally arrived and it’s so nice to see our magical friends appear in the dark.

Poster for the HBO series CarnivΓ le. At the top, the show’s title β€œCARNIVΓ€LE” appears inside a rustic sign featuring a crescent moon and star. Below it reads, β€œInto each generation is born a creature of light and a creature of darkness.” The main cast poses in front of an old truck, with a broken Ferris wheel in the background, set against a dusty, ominous landscape. Characters are dressed in 1930s Dust Bowl-era clothing, some standing, sitting, or leaning on the vehicle. At the bottom, text announces the premiere date: β€œSeptember 14, 9:30PM” and β€œNew episodes Sundays at 9PM,” with the HBO logo.

Aldi used to have it regularly with their European candy. I always look if it’s back. Cost Plus market has it too. It’s so yummy but definitely divisive.

Best fruit: Persimmons, closely followed by fresh dates and figs
- Pineapple is great on pizza with jalapeno and pepperoni
-roasted pears, hot honey and blue cheese on pizza has the same sweet salty vibe
- Porters are Very Good
- Seltzer with a splash of cherry juice >> water
- Taco Bell is good

Have you tried putting the cheese on first? Like Detroit style pizza? We like it this way.

Same empty road under a clear night sky. Multiple thin green Aurora arcs are visible with green fence-post pillars within.

See How Butterfly Numbers Are Dropping Near You Populations are falling in the United States, a new study has found. Look up what’s happening in your area.
