The thing about living in Texas is that your expectations of state government are so low that you're pleasantly surprised when the governor does something even vaguely helpful.

And my sewing machine is refusing to actually sew -- the needle is moving, the cloth goes forward, but the stitch isn't locking through the fabric, something is not happening with the bobbin part of the equation. Aaargh.

Leprosy is hard to catch and can be readily cured. Do they still have sanitoria for tuberculosis?

And apparently even though we have 2 containers of leftovers (because I'm the only one who will eat them if they haven't been doctored) dinner still needs to be cooked because there's a pack of chicken that needs to be cooked. So I'm frustrated cooking and trying to figure out how to make a casserole thing with just cream of mushroom soup and some chicken broth and no cheese. I think I'm going to cook everything, layer it, top with panko crumbs and parmesan cheese and get it toasty on top.
And I think we have pie dough in the fridge that is still good so tomorrow maybe we can make hand pies out of my kinda picadillo I made last night. Or someone can.

Ayn doesn't have to die from it! I just want her nose to fall off.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'd plop her in Wrigleyville on St Pats weekend.

I use mostly coconut milk, but occasionally soy and/or oatmilk in my baking all the time, and it turns out splendidly. As in, if I didn't tell you that it was dairy-free, you wouldn't know it.
Coconut milk would have been my first choice, but that was not an option. It's good to know that you've had success with oatmilk.
