Wow, we've had shovleable snow twice. We had a foot the other week.

Today is henceforth known as Double Bacon Miracle Day.

That IS auspicious!

I am making myself a v. small Hasselback potato, which I'm pretty excited about.

The “First...of the year....” part was an attempt at humor.

Double bacon is surely a sign, and a good one.

I just ordered Heat, Fat, Acid, Salt (or whatever). Thoughts? I feel like there is just some basic knowledge I don't have but would like to.

OMG, ha! I didn't clock that at all!! Losing it.

But somewhere surprising had their first snow of the SEASON last week or so, I'm sure of it.

I haven't read the book, but loved the Netflix show and am generally obsessed with Samin so I'm sure it's great.

What Jesse said! I heart Samin.

Teppy, double bacon DOES sound like an auspicious start to the year!

Jen, I just gave Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat to my mother and husband for Christmas. (I'm waiting for DH to open it, but pretty soon, I'm just going to exert primae noctis rights or something.)

Today is henceforth known as Double Bacon Miracle Day.

This is too exciting, Teppy. One time, I had an entire dozen eggs, each of which were double-yoked, but that pales beside this.

Ha. You got me too, dcp.

I don't know; all 12 eggs double-yolked is pretty frigging amazing, statistically.

We are putting a new, very fancy heated mattress pad* (Christmas gift) on the bed, but because I married Doc Brown, it's a long involved process where he got under the bed to undo all the zip ties** he had used to hold the cords of heated mattress pad #1, and then we needed to vacuum under the bed because it was dust rhino central and now, 2 hours later, we need to eat dinner before he goes back under the bed and zip-ties the cords of the new mattress pad to the frame, so we can put clean sheets on the bed and collapse in it.

*This mattress pad has controls for each side AND THEN each side has 3 zones -- head/shoulders, torso/butt, and legs/feet -- where the heat can be individually controlled. So, like, my torso can be toasty warm and my feet can be moderately warm, while Tim's feet can be broiling and the rest of him can be barely warm. Sorcery!

**I honestly do appreciate the neatness and organization of zip-tying the cords to the bed frame, because if it were up to me, there would be an ungodly hydra of cords shoved under the bed. But getting everything all organized and zip-tied takes SO LONG SWEET FANCY MOSES.

I took down the tree and put all the decorations away. Tomorrow I’ll vacuum and move everything back into its non-holiday configuration. I kinda like this New Year’s ritual. It’s like clearing the decks for 2021.

Double bacon sounds like a great start to the year.

Well, now I have a new project: getting a heated blanket with zone control, and ziptying all the cords around my bed. And making double bacon for breakfast.
