Some kind of pun on golden and notebooks, or in praise of older women

You gotta love feisty old ladies who have lived long enought to just be feisty old women.

Congratulations to Doris Lessing on her Nobel. Kudos on her reaction.

My biggest decision of the day — gonna go throw

My biggest decision of the day — gonna go throw back to the handed down cookbook that was my first baking guide. Thanks Fannie Farmer (and Pat who taught me). https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017773-fannie-farmers-parker-house-rolls?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

Some random shots of the other day, where we strolled a beach area that is normally unaccessible without the ultra low King tide. Birds and people were looking for snacks underneath the mudflats and a seal’s brow blended in with floating kelp.

Trying something new — in about 300 years of bak

Trying something new — in about 300 years of baking and cooking, I’ve never ever ever been one to have nearly filled spice bottles. But here’s the start of a new leaf, as it were. More bottles to fill.

Pre-gaming Wicked @cinepolisusa with the Bad Witch

Pre-gaming Wicked @cinepolisusa with the Bad Witch, essentially a French 75 with edible green glitter and kiwi. Only downside — on their website it said Hendrick’s but they poured Aviation gin. When I’m getting hosed on price for a cocktail in a plastic cup , I’d prefer Hendrick’s. But extra points for glitter. Get it together, Cinepolis San Mateo.

Compliments to this mall popup idea. I hope Kathy of @kathyscreativekakes does well. Drop by, get your cookie or gingerbread house swerve on, and you don’t have to wreck your kitchen to get all the colored frosting.

Joining the ranks of the Guardian, Stephen King, D

Joining the ranks of the Guardian, Stephen King, Dan Savage and all us little people who aren't enthralled with Elon's trolling (and sheer tone-deaf audacity of being born rich, white and sheltered in apartheid South Africa and claiming to speak for the people). No one will notice (although I improbably had >13K followers). Also killed the account where I posted work and non-profit related stuff. Find me right here as @drobot on IG or at @dee-rob.bsky.social or threads.net/@drobot. (OH, and if you know me, I've started texting on Signal, so not all comms are controlled by oligarchs.)

Sort of Texas. At a work conference in Austin, but I mostly haven’t left the conference bubble included a western-themed hootenanny at the hotel on astroturf with painted cacti.

Have Apple notifications turned on and my phone and watch are buzzing from r any call. I likely will not be able to take this all night long. (I take solace in taking a midday walk an older woman called out my hat choice — camo Harris Walz. We shared that each of us was feeling more anxious than any other political race in our lives. Stay strong 80-year-old dog walker.)
