  1. Mindful Birding

    As someone who easily gets swept up in the challenge of IDing a bird, I really like the intentionality of mindful birding. When I notice a bird but can’t seem to get a good enough look at it I can focus on it so much that I don’t enjoy everything...

  2. Chili Fiesta

    Bekah family used to make this thick chili recipe. It was passed on from her maternal grandmother. But the trick is it has a bunch of toppings to make it more fun. The units I’ve written down are half of the original which apparently made 30 servings and adjusted for...

  3. The frogs are really loving having moisture again! They’re making so much noise this week.

  4. Progress update on the Omnibear Micropub Extension! This is the first post using a WIP version compatible with Chrome’s manifest V3 requirements! It’s also the first post on my site using the extension. There is still lots to do. [Not] shockingly, rewriting all the state management in the codebase lead...

  5. Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

    My brother and I made these from Joy Food Sunshine for my father’s birthday party. It is a recipe that ranks high in Google search results and for good reason. The original website has a useful scaling tool too. One recommendation I’ll second is using parchment paper so you can...

  6. Cauliflower and Leek Soup

    This recipe was initially based on Bethany Kramer’s Vegan Creamy Cauliflower Soup recipe from “A Simple Palate”. However we’ve added a few textures and non-vegan ingredients like sausage. Consider doubling it if you have plenty of cauliflower. The result should be a creamy, slightly thick soup. This is great with...

  7. Lemon Curd

    Bekah makes this recipe from Ina Garten periodically, but usually halved and with a few minor changes. The halved portions fit well in the Bonne Maman jelly jars we save. It’s a great with any kind of citrus. You can add food coloring if you’re using it in a cake...

  8. Chicken Parmesan

    I always loved having chicken Parmesan growing up, but it took me years to try to make it myself. I often avoid breading meat, but it’s actually an easy way to up the flavor and the results are totally worth it. I based this recipe on one by Delish but...

  9. Today I learned that the Christmas Bird Count started as an alternative to Christmas day “side hunts”. Framing bird watching in contrast to hunting makes me want find some people to go birding with. I just might have to sign up at some point.

  10. Today I learned the dish my family calls “egg in a hat” is called “hole in egg” by my in-laws and neither of those are the most recognized names. A quick search online reveals there are dozens of other names. Some were close like “egg in the basket” or “egg...

  11. Strawberry Nut Jello Salad

    This is a Hoesterey family holiday favorite that came from my mother-in-law’s cousin from Virginia. My internet research tells me that this is a southern classic, appearing on sites like Southern Discourse with the subtitle “A Southern Tradition”. Don’t let the term “jello salad” scare you. This is worth a...

  12. Cavatappi Cheesy Mac

    Adding to my list of extra cheesy TikTok recipes, this one comes from Tini Younger (TikTok). Or if you want to watch a more comical weed based video, check out @mattbellassai’s “Baked Baking”. We made this earlier this month with the Apple Cider Pulled Pork. Honestly, this probably has too...

  13. 🎵 listening to the album Live At Electric Lady by Bleachers I love the fun blend of mellow pop and elements like a jazzy saxophone. Jack Antonoff already has been a force with his producing work with artists like Taylor Swift. It’s cool to see the different influences of people...

  14. I had a nice walk with the family on the east coast. We walked to what my niece calls the “loopty-loop” (i.e. cul-de-sac) at the end of their street and found this one tree holding on to fall. When editing the photo to post, I noticed the denoise function really...
