Happy new year, msbelle.
I hope the practice today pays off on tomorrow’s fritters, Dana
Mom made borscht for dinner, but not the same recipe she used to make so it is not full of potatoes and carrots and beef, and it called for fresh dill but she used dried, so she wanted to warn me in case it is bland so we can consider it a palate cleanser if necessary. Smells good, I think it will be fine.
Hooray for excellent guacamole!
Happy new year all. Fireworks or sweet dreams or anything in between to everyone.
Happy New Year from the East Coast, friends.…
2025 in Cincinnati has a lot of backyard fireworks. (Not us.)
Hey, I managed to stay awake until midnight! Now I can go to bed. Or at least, I can go to bed after our neighbor stops blowing up his entire roadside stand's worth of fireworks. I think he's been hoarding fireworks for the past 10 years just for this moment.
Hey, there are 3 police cars on my street -- 1 directly across from us, 1 blocking the nearest side street, and 1 about 4 houses up. Very curious. Maybe I won't go to bed just yet.
Me starting 2025 like an old lady, peering out the front blinds at all the goings-on.
I am unintentionally staying up till Midnight. not a party. more like a Doom Watch.
shit's really gonna happen in 2025. I am not ready.
A Not too terrible New Year all.
Update: 4 police cars. We’re pretty sure it’s because the guy diagonally across the street was shooting his gun at midnight, instead of setting off illegal fireworks like everyone else.
Happy New Year, central time zone folks and points east!
