Classic

I am so sorry you're in the thick of this. I'm so sorry that this is a shared experience. The intensity of love is matched in the intensity of the grief and it is bittersweet

It's been ten years and I still get a wave crashing into me here and there. Scent and sound memories are particularly strong and unpredictable.

Though by this point it's a little bit comforting. Like a visit from him.

In a car wash and the kids are pretending it's a kraken shooting digestive enzymes at us

Do Brookshire brothers still exist?

Fiesta 100% carries Halal too

Maybe? Probably

Look when you have a multicultural kitchen all the fusion happens whether you plan it or not

I want to make crab rangoon schmeer

It's really good on any kind of cracker and probably a bagel (everything bagel seasoning is bagel furikake) but I've been using those thin packs of potato crackers

Just mixed some furikake and chili crisp into cream cheese and having a good time

I just need the kids to have slightly more spice tolerance before we can go but you know what. There's rice and seaweed there too so they'll survive

The goofiest ADHD/anxiety thing that worked for me before traveling was making a "boop!" sound as I locked each door and checked the oven and stove.

The kids helped me to make refrigerator clean out japchae yesterday and then asked to take the leftovers to school.

Like
1) making japchae is much easier with two eager little sous
2) they ate it (these are not mixed food kids)
3) they want to take this to school! Kids eat nori at school now!

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

Yeah that's my hesitation- it's huuuuge. I wish it were closer to the size of the original minibus

I really want one. This is a really nice car for your family!

The post spring break trip to Costco sure is something

My shingles rant is that this is another area where millennials get the short end of the stick. Too late for the varicella vaccine, too early for the shingles vax and not having the benefit like older generations of getting a "booster" exposure from infected kids to get you to 50.

12 tons of KitKats were liberated from Nestle

It was so good. Rocky is everything I could have hoped for.

It is very much a see on the biggest screen you can kind of movie. There's one specific scene that is breathtaking (and i don't mean the fox cardigan)

I kinda want to try to go see it in IMAX

Project Hail Mary is acceptable propaganda for chunky sweaters and little glasses

Does Shadow have one?

Someone has made a point that Ilya should have given him a cute Slavic nickname by now.

Maybe that's why he just gets called Hollander

Not me sending increasingly unhinged messages to the school's absence email box

Stede's Orange Marmalade! So cozy but kinda fancy

This is sort of a common theme

She made sure I had a scientific, arts, and humanities background and sent me to learn how to argue with Jesuits since I was wee small and then I ran away to join the internet circus

This is what happens

I'm not surprised

I was idly wondering where she could have picked it up and she said THE KIDS

And I'm like you're... The first one to show symptoms soooo
