What do you call it? I call them German pancakes (though... growing up we always called them pfankuchen 😅)

I've only baked these as biscuits like... twice. Mostly I use them in place of a pie crust, or sometimes roasted over a campfire with butter and cinnamon sugar 🤤

Uh oh, my evening schedule has been disrupted 💀

Wow, what a horrible thing for my eyes to behold

Made my Mama's recipe and tried to cheat the system by having one of my kids read the ingredients. I still had to look at the card occasionally because cursive, but I wasn't perusing it so that helped. My heart still hurts... but at least we'll have dinner in fifteen minutes

Anyway RIP to whatever mental stability I recovered these last few years 🥲

No one expects me to move on, I don't think, but everyone expects me to keep living and yikes! I don't know how to do that!

I can't remember if it was in 2017 when my grandmas passed, or earlier (maybe a grandpa?) but I realized some time ago that losing my mother would wreck me. And it happened so, so much sooner than I ever could have imagined 💔

My favorite hole in the wall gyro place burned down 💔 it's so devastating, there's no real way to recover from that 😥

aaaand Iiiii can't answer my emails
and I can't answer text messages
And forget about learning ASL at all!
and I can't make any dinner
and I can't do any laundry
And I'll never go to Boston in the fall

a cartoon of a pirate ship with a skull and crossbones on the hat Alt: Scene from Veggietales "the pirates who won't do anything" with three cartoon vegetables wearing pirate accessories, sitting in lounge chairs on the deck of a ship

Tonight as I reflected on my lack of executive function, I sang to myself "I am the Diaaaane who can't do anythiiiing" 😅

not quite the same but surprisingly good. tiny bit greasy, dense and chewy

is there a manual or something on how to feel my feelings? like, I'm not trying to push them to the side, but they ARE uncomfortable, and I don't want to literally sit for twenty minutes and acknowledge my feelings 🙁

Clearly I'm not good at it 😂 but I've made this particular recipe SO many times... like... maybe fifty? A hundred? I actually have made it successfully from memory, just not consistently

Interestingly, this is at least the fifth time I assumed I could make it from memory and noticeably messed it up

Since I was having trouble accessing my mom's recipe for golden brownies, I figured I could do it from memory 🫠 but I suspect I only used half as much flour as I needed because they look funky. WHOOPS.

Today I was unexpectedly rammed in the chest by grief 💔

I had a doctor on my mission say I couldn't be allergic to prednisone so I must have been allergic to a pill binder and I've just been living with that (though now also allergic to ibuprofen) and uh this makes so much more sense. I really wish I weren't so conditioned to believe authority figures.

Anyway it might be a while before I can make this particular recipe again. And who doesn't love rethinking dinner plans at 6:15? 🫠

Silly me, I planned on making a dinner that my mom made for me a lot, and I pulled out the recipe card... hand written with love and care for me, many years ago, so I could have my favorite recipes when I left for college

So many people recommended Legendborn that when I saw the available audiobook on Libby, I snapped it up! Has anyone else listened to it?

In 2050, both men and women were granted paid paternal leave

In 2028 (manifesting?) childcare heavily subsidized

I was reading these facts in honor of women's history month - before 1993, women couldn't wear pants on the Senate floor. Patriarchy has really messed us up. What do you think could look like that in the future? In 2030, schools finally stopped teaching abstinence only birth control

Definitely my favorite thing I've seen on the internet today ⭐

I only read about the first half of the book and I am still haunted and outraged by it

I loved Daredevil but also I watched as a guy's head got chopped off with a car door and... it sort of turned me off action TV-MA. Maybe that's a spoiler? sorry. I liked Jessica Jones too but it messed with my head and I couldn't watch season two.

I was thinking something similar - I know some neighbors who did that years ago and it's a great idea. We rented a small one when we moved (before inflation really hit) and it was only about $400

so much depends

that might not

working

... but it looks so cute and cheerful 😵‍💫 why would they do that

I had forgotten about that video! So I showed my husband and he hadn't seen it?? So thanks for the reminder, glad I could give him that this morning 😂
