Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Pecan pie is the best pie, and bourbon chocolate pecan pie is the bestest best.

I ruint the roasted Brussels sprouts at Thanksgiving, and they haven't been popular so I need another green dish. JZ doesn't like green beans though. Ponder...

This collard green recipe is quick, easy, and tastes amazing: [link]

I always just squeeze half a lemon over the dish to finish it rather than serving lemon on the side.

Punishingly Intricate

I have had multiple people tell me that if something is properly developed under agile you won't need technical writing because you won't need a manual.

Lol! I mean, hopefully you won't need an end user manual, but end user doc is not the only kind of technical writing.

Thrive to spite them

I think we are having turkey for Christmas. I was like "but we just had turkey at thanksgiving" and M countered with "but we have chicken almost every night, why can't we have turkey for both holidays?" But we may sneak some ham in there.

We have 2 weeks to figure it out. right?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm seriously thinking cheap Chinese takeout for Christmas. But maybe I'll make a tasty dessert. But also: pajamas all day and WW 1984 on HBO Max.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Pecan pie is the best pie, and bourbon chocolate pecan pie is the bestest best.

I'm going to Susan's house.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is an excellent plan that I may just follow myself, Tep

This is the Christmas tradition of our close friends...who are Jewish.

I made this for Thanksgiving! It was delicious.

Definitely pajama day on Christmas (my sister's family gets all of us matching pjs, and they are supposedly coming in the mail one of these days), we talked last night about Chinese take-out being a good option, so that's looking likely. But I might make that pie again for Christmas. And maybe the reddit apple cream pie again, too. Or my mom's lemon icebox pie. So many possibilities! ETA: or... PIEsibilities.

Minted peas? With pearl onions, or maybe red pepper strips for color?
