I had a terrible nightmare that I was covering a press conference, but before it started the public information officer tapped the mic and said, “First, a word from our sponsors.” Then they rolled out an old TV and played #loveisland.
On my notepad I wrote:
“A… new bombshell… enters… the villa…”
“Boots are encouraged. Pearls optional.”
Get a food mill and make your own cranberry sauce. I promise it’s worth it.

If you’re going to make EDM, why would you even THINK about mixing in an alarm clock? Do you hate me?
Glen Powell needs to perform a third “Chad” role to complete his Chad Trilogy. His Chadilogy, if you will. #chadpowers #chadradwell
I’m forever changed by @uarkansas.bsky.social (i.e., can’t see a hog without saying “woo pig”)
Too many feral cats and too few "Trap Neuter Return" volunteers? This story on Deltona's developing TNR program problem is starting to pick up steam amongst other news outlets in Volusia County: www.hometownnewsvolusia.com/news/city-of...
Manatees are frequently in the news when the congregate in the winter, but many people forget they can be found in Florida’s waterways year round.
If you’re go out on the water, take precautions to protect Florida’s native sea cows.

It’s insane how much chemistry Michael B. Jordan has with Michael B. Jordan.
Lemons into lemonade.
Water into wine.
Instant potato mix into gnocchi.
This week: a batter recipe that will give you a crispy breading for chicken. A family favorite, this was frequently cooked by Linda for unlucky children who had been born between December and January, perhaps as an apology for their parents’ poor timing. Enjoy!

Some of these recipes are great! Some are… Well, you’ll see. Haha. It’s all in good fun.

Since her passing last January, I have spent months organizing and transcribing these documents for my family.
Linda was a big fan of unsolicited email blasts with advice and recipes, so with familial permission, I’ve decided to launch a free-to-all limited run Substack with these recipes.
Hey world, how’s it going? Bit of a soft life update:
Back in the fall of 2024 I decided to shift gears to focus on volunteer work and a few other personal projects. One such venture was an unofficial cookbook with 150+ of my grandmother’s favorite recipes that she kept in a tin box.
Still relatable.
And God said, The McRib is back: and there was McRib. And God saw the McRib, and it was good; and God divided the McRib from the rest of McDonald’s menu to make it “limited time only” so as to artificially drive demand and further capitalize on cheap pork prices.

Playing a dangerous game of how many different types of cheeses I can keep in my fridge
Saw a manatee stampede yesterday. Even when in a rush they take their time
After two perilous years I FINALLY baked the perfect brie. I am free.
There is something profoundly absurd and poetic about traveling across the country during Christmas-time and sleeping across the street from a Jesus Themed Mega Barn Seafood Cafe. Can’t necessarily put a finger on it. A one-of-a-kind experience.
An incredible podcast!
