I’m beginning a fiction writing project and starting with a series of 500 word short stories. My only parameter is that food needs to be a core element of each story. I’d love your feedback as I go.

It’s been over 35 years since I last read this. It’s been popping up in my algorithm lately and I found i couldn’t remember a single word of it. I’ve read two pages so far and I’m enraptured.

Spent a couple of hours today helping friends at their vendor booth at the Folsom Street Fair . My job was to be spokesmodel and to get people into the booth. On two separate instances, I got to talk to people from deep red states who were just so goddamn happy to be there. 1/2

When was the last time you wanted to get on a bus and take it as far as you could go and then do the same on the next one and then do the same on the next and then do the same on the next one and then do the same on the next one and just keep going and never looking back?

We thought about keeping the lease on the house after she died. After all, it was the closest thing we had to a homestead. Despite all its quirks, we loved it because all it’s odd angles and weird ways were a reflection of the odd weird ways of my family.

I’ve been walking around short tempered and weepy all day. Just on the tipping point of either exploding in anger or bursting into tears. Very unlike me but then I realized what day it is and I cut myself some slack.

Made my 1st recipe out of the Escoffier. Haricot rouge. Didn’t follow it exactly due to it calling for wine but stayed true beyond that. Easily some of the best beans I’ve ever made. Served with bratwurst & rice with parsley and spinach. I’m happily quite full

It kind of sticks in my craw that in the opening credits of "9 to 5" everyone's alarms are going off at 7am and all I think is "Those bitches get to sleep that LATE?"

The fact that we still don’t really know what’s going on with Mitch McConnell is absolutely ridiculous.

I collect antique cookbooks & had to come up with a way to protect them from dust, moisture & light. This barrister popped up on Marketplace last week and I bought it last night for a price I could manage so I can store books with intentional care & fret a little less about taking care of them.
