  1. I had leftover roasted veggies and turkey with gravy. And cake for dessert
  2. You are most definitely an artist
  3. I really like it. The black and white really brings out the texture of the stone.
  4. It's dreary and overcast here, with a high of 46F. I had cake for brekkie My plans for the day are to do some housecleaning, editing, and writing.
  5. Dinner came out perfect The turkey was moist and delicious, the gravy was flavorful, and the roasted veg were nice and caramelized and bursting with flavor. There were squash, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts all roasted with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh garlic. My low carb vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream frosting came out amazing. Very moist and fluffy and the chocolate buttercream wasn't too sweet. My aunt stopped by to pick up a plate of food, so it was nice to see her even if it was for a short visit. Now I have enough leftovers for a week!
  6. Thanks for giving me a new herd member

    Now that's a fish story! If he'd have kept on, I think he'd have had Jonah's whale in that boat Rita seems to think the town wants to change, but her grandiose plans may not be as well-received as she thinks they'll be. I see lots of fireworks in the future...with Heinrich Sr appearing, Rita's plans, Sexyhunk, and of course, our pianist. I think seeing the gay couple and the lack of reaction on anyone's part is going to be pivotal for Rick. Maybe it will give him the courage and self-confidence he sorely needs.
  8. I'll be spending the day with my mom. We're not going to go to my aunt's because of the risk of covid We're going to have turkey, and my mom is making stuffing for herself and roasted veggies for me. She's making our traditional chocolate pie and I bought a low-carb cake mix to try. I was going to make my pumpkin crumb cake, but the store was out of almond flour. So hopefully this mix will be good. I hope all who celebrate today have a nice time
  9. For anyone wanting to get Drew a Christmas present. No peeking, Lickspittle!

    Chapter 1

    I can't say I blame Tristan for his actions. My reaction when I first read this chapter was to call Peter every name in the book and circle the defenses around Tristan! We'll see if that changes as the story progresses. Good job, Addy!
  11. That sounds really good. I had scrambled eggs and maple sausage.
  12. Fingers crossed for a good report!
  13. Was this found recently? Reminds me of "The Fifth Element".
  14. But was he "Nifty" gigantic....
  15. No lectures for you, but for your doctor. Sore throats can have a variety of causes, and don't necessarily mean that you've had contact with people. Allergies and acid reflux are two that come to mind. I think the COVID test is standard procedure in situations like this. My doctor wouldn't see me either when I said I had a headache and mild sore throat, both of which were associated with the reason I was calling, which wasn't COVID. I hope you feel better soon. The test isn't that bad, so it might not be a bad idea so you can be seen and figure out what's going on with your throat.
  16. I loved this story! Ethan's choice of title is masterful, since that's what drew me in to read the story. I had to know who the "my..." was. The story is a real page-turner, and I was riveted as I read it. The ending is definitely abrupt, but I can also see why the author chose to end the story the way he did. I would still highly recommend reading it and drawing your own conclusion. Great review, @aditus!
  17. The snow is all thawed now. We got freezing rain and then rain yesterday afternoon/all night. It's not too bad now. Cold, but the sun peeked out for a little bit before hiding behind the clouds again.
  18. See if I mentor you anymore.
  19. The snow has tapered off to freezing rain now. I thawed some butternut squash soup for lunch and will make roasted chicken thighs with bacon/cheddar cauli tots for dinner. I'm also getting a bit of writing done for a new project
