Oh, Teppy, I'm so sorry. This is so hard.
2022 is not doing us any favors, gotta say.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

My niece, who gets married in 3 weeks, has Covid, and possibly pneumonia. My oldest brother's wife (and of course we haven't seen them for two solid years) won't be coming to the wedding.
And on a lighter note, I took my dog to class tonight and she spent the whole class running in circles and eating horse poo. Sigh.

Thrive to spite them
Steph that is a lot going on. I hope your brother does make changes he needs to stay sober.
2022 needs to send something good your way.

Oh, man, Steph. I'm sorry there's so much serious stuff to cope with right now.

Punishingly Intricate
Ugh, Steph, that's all way too much. I know it might seem impossible right now but I hope you can find space to take care of yourself, too, whatever that means for you. Sending love.

{{{Tep}}} I'm so sorry, that is a LOT. My heart goes out to your brother, I'm glad he has another chance to recover

That's a whole lot of awful for one family to deal with, Steph. I'm sorry.

Quiche:
After years of searching, I may have found a homemade spaghetti sauce recipe that works for me. [link] I find it a bit heavy on the basil, and I took the stick blender to it to get the texture I wanted, but those are both easy adjustments.

I don't think I've ever followed a recipe for spaghetti sauce. Maybe I should try one some time.

I've tried several recipes, and it never tasted right to me. What I'm looking for is basically Rao's marinara, but homemade. Mom used to just use the Lawry's packet stuff, but that tastes too sweet to me these days.
