Phone with a dead battery is lost in the house somewhere... think I'll skip looking for it and enjoy a quiet day. It'll turn up when it's ready.

Pixie, whining: I'm bored!

Frog, being helpful: Hmm. I know a show you might like, Our Flag Means Death.

Pixie, suspicious: ...is it about politics?

Bunny acquisition in progress! Contacted breeders this morning and I'm waiting to hear back πŸ˜ƒ


(I'm after an IAGARB registered German Angora REW buck if anyone happens to have a contact)

People were worried about period tracker apps with all the abortion bans, and I thought another way they might track people who have periods is those store loyalty cards when you buy pads/tampons. So I ordered cloth pads off Etsy for my daughters. This is insane.



Amelia came in for a visit. She's a completely deaf Mille Fleur d'Uccle with little feathers on her feet. Did not know chickens could be deaf before we got her.

"Of course I'm sure this is where I want to be sitting while three teenagers who pay no attention to their surroundings get ready for school. Why do you ask such silly questions, human?"

got a bit of home spun angora rabbit yarn at the farmer's market this weekend and ... yeah, i might need to get pet bunnies (and like a spinning wheel i guess?) to keep a constant supply of this stuff. because <george takei voice> oh my.

(more like art supplies for now, lacy scarf maybe? don't have a ton of it)

(3/3)
Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Use a spoon to fill the shells with berries after both have cooled. Serve with whipped cream and garnish with citrus peel.

Cut into squares and layer 3-4 in each well of a mini-tart/muffin pan - give the corners a bit of a crinkle and pat the base in gently. Bake at 400 for about 7 min - start checking at 5, they burn fast. Set aside to cool.

Add berries, honey, corn starch mix, liqueur, big pinch of nutmeg, small pinch of cloves, and some finely chopped candied citrus peel to a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. In about 5-10 minutes the liquid will thicken and glaze.

And they're done. Here's the recipe for @Pennsylvanian and all the rest of y'all.
(1/)
Mulberry Tartlets
phyllo pastry sheets
melted butter
cinnamon sugar
2 c mulberries, or blackberries1/4 c honey
2 T corn starch, mixed with water
2 T peach liqueur (or lemon/orange juice)
nutmeg
cloves
candied citrus peel (or fresh lemon/orange zest)
whipped cream

Brush phyllo sheets with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Got a bit of phyllo in the freezer and if I don't get mulberries off the tree soon the birds will do it for me. Mini tarts sound good πŸ˜‹

Sick kitty 😿

Puck got Covid a couple months ago. He got better then started a cycle of good days/bad days. I genuinely cannot tell if he's got long Covid or just realized he gets waited on if he acts ill.

Join us in congratulating @th3j35t3r on a historic day for his social media network Counter Social AKA CoSo!

So I haven't been around for a bit. Found these stinkers in the coop Easter morning. I don't have a rooster. What's up with y'all?

helped my oldest finalize enrollment in her first semester of senior classes beginning after the holidays and ... no?? (i can just say no, right?)

First here - meet Puck, my 18 pound Ragdoll. He's an adorable klutz. This pic is his personality in one image - stuck under a cabinet after failing to catch a cricket.

No injuries, but the last of his pride died when he was dragged out backwards after we emptied the cabinet enough to lift it.

Curls instigating an "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" type of self care morning ...

Hair: You wanted to do the Electrocuted Poodle Look today, right?

Me: ... and a deep conditioning treatment it is.

Face: As long as you're just sitting around in the heat cap, can I get a mask?

Me: Fine.

Hands: Sorry to disturb, but do you want it to be Episode II: Attack of the Cuticles around here?

Me: Bloody hell ... anyone else need in on this!?

Feet: Yes, please πŸ˜‡
