Puff pastry! The constant fear the butter getting too soft, the (seeming) hours of rolling then resting in the freezer, the failure of witnessing the butter melt out in the oven was just too much for me, especially when the pre made frozen stuff is quite good.

That said, I love a challenge and have been thinking of trying it again.

Every so often I knit an item of clothing that fits, has the right yarn, and is the right color for my complexion. It’s wonderfully satisfying, especially since most wearable knitted things take a couple- few months to finish.

I donate most of the “not my look” items. One day I hope to see one in the wild!

Doubly so if it’s on public transportation. Ran into it the other day but was too chicken to call them out.

So very, very gross.

Practicing what I call Micro Pleasantries helps me feel good about life. Can be as simple as complimenting someone on their awesome new shoes or giving up your seat on the bus (or allowing someone to merge) It makes me feel better and hopefully makes someone feel better , too.

That looks perfection! Love the simple summer fruit desserts.

My dad was very similar, though conservative, and while not open minded he was an excellent critical thinker.
He, too, listened to all the right wingers and I’ve often wondered if he was still alive would he have been a Trumper.

It’s all so weird but hearing of similar stories like yours gives me a bit of solace.
