In the US, it's Veterans' Day. IN other parts of the world it's Armistice Day. I want to just say that I honor our veterans, and I want to thank them for their service, both current and past. I serve veterans in my work, and I'm happy to do so.

I reconnected with an old friend tonight. She moved away years ago, and contact was sporadic since then, but she's now back in Lincoln, and eager to rekindle the friendship. We've seen each other at our best and our worst since junior high, have gone through good times and bad, and being with her tonight was great. We've both changed, our lives ( Read more... ) -

But definitely watch her speech. It is ( Read more... ) -

In other news, my great-aunt Ruth died recently. Here is her obituary. I did not know her, other than meeting her a couple of times at family gatherings. My dad said that her kids were informed that she was failing, and when they arrived at her house, she was ensconced on her chair, drinking a glass of wine.
Recently, my aunt was going out to ( Read more... ) -

My state passed two laws in one, in the vein of "protecting children." One is a 12-week abortion ban, and the other is a bill preventing trans children from seeking gender affirming care until they are 19. (Which is the age of majority in this state.)
This is fucking bullshit of the first water, because the same people fought against providing pre ( Read more... ) -
Creamed Kale Pizza
I made a new recipe tonight, and it was actually really good, and vegetarian, and I think you all might like it, too, and might not want to subscribe to NYT Cooking. So, here you go, and I promise it's delicious and easy.
1. You're going to need 1 lb of store-bought pizza dough. I used Trader Joe's, but you do you. You could also make your own, ( Read more... ) -

I don't know how much I'll be around tomorrow, so I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope you have a lovely celebration. And, if Christmas is not your thing, I hope you have had a lovely weekend.
