Hey Darling Ones, I get super bitter whenever I follow a recipe to the letter and it turns out mediocre to bad. Usually when the food I make turns out not-so-great I blame my own hubris. I like to read half a recipe and then use the knowledge I’ve gained from watching every season of Top Chef multiple times to think I know what I’m doing. This works out a surprising number of times. I’m a good cook with pretty…
Hello Darling Ones, Last week, for the first time in a very, very, very, even before Wendell came to live here, long time I slept some place that wasn’t Supergenius HQ. It sucked & I hated it. Kind of. The details of why my sisters, Ben, and I ended up at an AirBNB on Lake Wissota in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin are boring. And as I type, I realize that writing about my family is always complicated and feels like it…
Hey Darling Ones, My #BarsOfSummer Project has come to an end. This makes me extremely happy. The thought of eating another bar makes me want to barf for the rest of eternity. Sixteen weeks of bars is a lot, even when you halve most of the recipes and give a majority of them away. There are three different kinds of bars still in my freezer. Maybe they’ll sound good again in November. 2023. The very best part of finishing the…

And on top of that, my dumb mouth wrote even more checks. So many checks. My poor ass has been glued to the couch working all the time. This is not a complaint. I’m a freelance business mogul so I take the work whenever it comes for me. I know that…
Hi Darling Ones, I’ve told one joke and one excruciatingly long story recently that, well, mark me as a lady of a certain age who only speaks to other people of a certain age. The other day a friend texted me a picture that took roughly one entire fortnight to arrive. “The little bird inside the camera must have died,” I joked. Because in the Flintstoney days there was a bird inside the camera who chiseled the picture into, slate?…
Hey Darling Ones, Still working really hard on distracting myself from grief while simultaneously procrastinating from actual paying work. I’m so good at this I could call myself a life coach and start charging for these kinds of life hacks. Today in pointless garbage I spent a lot of time thinking about we have The Replacements. Perhaps you’ve heard of them. I’ll get back to this in a minute. Also today we had a new episode of the one (1)…
