I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hot chocolate and coconut rum.

Yeah, Dana? I would give that a try.

Lentil soup sounds really good. I only have beans, which are fine, but definitely not lentils.

Connections: I was pretty sure that the blue answers would be purple. I don't think I am good at that meta-game

And I got the pangrams while thinking "that's not a word but I'll try it just in case" so. I am out of sync with NYTGames today

Can you tell I'm not very interested in working today? SOmeone asked me to switch shifts with them so I'll be out the outlet sale on Friday afternoon instead on Sunday which is nice for my weekend and makes my Friday more varied and interesting but I seem to have jumped ahead to being over all this working-on-the-computer part of my job. Two more days of this, self!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

As I am fully addicted to chocolate covered cherries, imagine that in hot drink form with a bracing shot of brandy. Dang, it was good!

Well, that sounds excellent!

But what I have is TJ's veggie lentil soup

I made corn muffins yesterday, with the intent to have one with split pea soup for dinner, because it was cold and rainy here. Sadly, this is a week where the Zepbound nausea decided to ramp up around 5 pm, so no dinner for me last night. However, it is still cold and grey, and my stomach is back to normal today, so Operation Corn Muffin And Soup will happen today.

And I got the pangrams while thinking "that's not a word but I'll try it just in case"

I got Genius without getting the pangrams. I just went back to look at the letters and I still can't figure out what the pangrams might be.

I could give you a clue that may not be helpful but is amusing to me

Our wings are not tired

Finally made it to Genuis and found two pangrams.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hear me out: hot chocolate and tequila. If you like chocolate oranges or other chocolate-citrus combos, you might like this.
