-t, why do you have to be awake at midnight?
I decided to make pumpkin bread & muffins, and threw in some extra crystallized ginger, hope it comes out well. Now my kitchen is a complete mess and instead of cleaning, I'm watching the Great Irish Bake Off.
GIBO has some interesting differences than GBBO. For one thing, they appear to do only two challenges per weekend instead of three. Also, during the technical challenge, the contestants can talk to one another! So right now they're all consulting on how to roll the stollen up! It's amazing!
That said, it's still not the same without Mel & Sue. But worth checking out if you're desperate for nice & supportive cooking competitions.
I've wondered if the Irish Bake Off was a good alterntive.
Weather radar is fun. It's like watching a river of snow and ick flowing past my portion of the valley but not making a mess on me.
Oh, nom on the crystallized ginger! That sounds wonderful.
Oregon state parks open up for reservations during next year's eclipse at 12:01 and I have been deputized to get a couple of camp sites by my family. Reminds me of camping out for concert tickets back in the day.
And I have made the trek to Jack in the Box.
Well, my hair is darker than I expected. It's got merlot to dark violet highlights. I am getting it cut tomorrow, since my last cut was last December.
I'll have to see after the cut and a couple of shampoos, but I'm leaning towards adding some brighter purple streaks to it.
I've had dark red, but this is the darkest my hair's been in over 20 years.

Oh, that's brilliant! Where in Oregon?
Sounds pretty, Strix, even if it wasn't what you had in mind.
I'm looking at Detroit Lake and Cove Palisades. They're both in the path of totality - Detroit Lake is west of Mt. Jefferson nestled in that range and Cove Palisades is near Madras, which is supposed to have a high probability of clear skies on the day.
The Stacked Grilled Cheese Burger, by the way, is pretty good if you like that sort of thing, but not so amazing that I will need to seek it out again, probably.
