bourbon chocolate pecan pie is the bestest best
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.
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...
Minted peas? With pearl onions, or maybe red pepper strips for color?

It's definitely about adding color and other textures to the plate.
The first year we were in this house we tried to get Chinese takeout for Xmas but couldn't find anywhere open! That was the same year menorah candles were so hard to find. Solano county, man.
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.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Because my company sells software to city/county/state gov. agencies, no one dares say that. Every now and then a pillar lead (big boss of whatever feature division) will ask "Can we put this in tool tips or some sort of hover help?", and as one the dev team and I laugh bitterly and say "That is a beautiful dream. Budget?"
At least I've gotten my feature team trained to instinctively ask me for help with anything in the UX that needs a label or string.
I love how many of us are in tech docs.

Niiiiice.
My current place doesn't even have context-sensitive help, but I've got enough to do right now that I'm just fine with it.
A couple of days ago I sent a question to support in our IT dept about a feature in our ERP and the answer was "Per the Help screen..." and I realized that was the help desk equivalent of "here let me Google that for you" and then I realized I hadn't even done a help ticket to ask my question and I AM THE WORST...but at least now I know?
I just got off the phone with dad. he is doing ok but super frustrated. He really really wants to go to the beach and go fishing. But going to the beach means dealing with one of his oldest friends- who acts like Covid doesn't exist.
And soon some other friends of his who stay there (usually) for half the year- are flying in from Texas.
They are all in their mid to late 70s and it's just.. Dad said he can't go down and go fishing and not invite his friend because he knows (from past experience) it will cause hurt feelings. And he can't say what he wants which is "if you are going to keep acting like Covid doesn't exist I'm not going to do things with you" because that would be even worse hurt.
On the plus side his shoulder is doing better and since he's been taking iron supplements all year he isn't as cold as he was last winter.
