I still have a couple of hours to go on A Christas Carol, we just started the dress run through. Then it's 60 miles across Los Angeles to home. Hopefully by the time I get on the road the holiday traffic will have died down, and the weather will be cooperating. It was raining for the whole drive in earlier today.

I'm feeling cursed by the baking gods. I made brownies last night from a new recipe and I'm not super impressed. Ok, fine. But then I tried to make my pumpkin pie and it was weirdly bubbly and some of the pecans in the crust floated up into the pumpkin. And then I tried to bake the cookie dough I made yesterday, and can't figure out why it spread and oozed everywhere. Is there an issue with my oven temperature? Did I leave something out, or get the wrong amount, or mix it wrong? Whyyyy?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I still have no idea of a move date, but the holiday cooking I have decided is the beginning of my emptying of the pantry.
Today's total - 1 type of flour, 5 canned goods, and 1 bottle of salad dressing - gone.

Don't feel alone Steph, my pie came out pretty ugly too (why did I decide to flute the crust instead of trimming it and making fork grooves?). But if the smell is any indication it'll be delicious.

The status is NOT quo.
My pies are almost always ugly, but they are always tasty! I just call it "looking homemade."

I have recently learned that spreading oozing cookies usually means the oven temperature is too high.
My pie isn't gorgeous, but it's good enough. Dog is very anxious about all this activity.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I sent (nice, polite, short yet informative) emails asking my TAs who are not using bcc to consider using bcc when emailing the entire class. Got a response back saying that while my intention may be good, it is not an acceptable request in academia-land. Slightly confused about university email netiquette, because 1. class' secretary is superb in using bcc, and 2. not using bcc in mass emails doesn't seem to me like an acceptable procedure, not in 2019.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Restless sleep this morning, ending up with a frustrating dream about trying to get past TSA who were acting nasty and frustrating. Not a nightmare (I just plain wake up from those before they go on too long) but one that leaves you angry at imaginary people.
