Every day Gordon and I have dinner at around 3 or 4 pm and watch true crime shows on the couch. Sometimes we also nap. But we usually stay awake for at least one episode. What it’s like to watch true crime shows with Gordon. 5 minutes into the show Narrator: …a mystery that shocked

Nonsense We Watch When Deadline Is Done
Behold, the silliness we entertain our tired brains with. Ozzyman reviews Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. NSFW. So NSFW. Blow the stealth horn!!! So excited for this game. Once BLOOD HEIR is safely in the production team’s hands, Valhalla, here I come. Ozzyman also narrates all sorts of things like bad driving and kitten videos. Dragon Age

Am I a Bad Person for Laughing at Your Posts?
You are supposed to laugh at my posts. That’s why I post them – so you could have a chuckle. Unless it’s something deadly serious, which the last post definitely wasn’t. Also, there are funny jokes in the comments. Hehe. In more funny news, Harney & Sons gifted me some Paris tea. This is the

Milk Bread
I like the texture of Hawaiian rolls but not the sugar. I found this recipe, tried it yesterday, and am happy to report it’s exactly that: Hawaiian roll like texture with a fraction of sweetness. I did a little bit of research and I’m guessing that what we view as “Hawaiian rolls” was probably a

An Easy Garter Shawlette
I have finished knitting something. I know, shocking. Sorry to stun you like this early in the morning. 🙂 Awhile ago I was going through the craft room and found a little metal tin with tiny balls of yarn in it, mohair with a touch of lurex. The best I can figure out it must’ve

That said, with the sheer volume of online orders, mishaps happen and the lack of availability sometimes results in some hilarious substitutions. Not sure how that last one happened.

Plastic Palms
In 1983 someone in Raleigh, NC must have said, “I want an indoor lap pool. And I want plastic palms around it. Design a home around that.” There is a TV in a little house with the fireplace jutting out of it. There is a bed suspended on bungee cords. There is the front of

Spilling the Tea
Several months have passed since I did a post asking about favorite teas. It’s time for tea review. I am not an affiliate of any of the companies mentioned, so I received no compensation for my tea reviews. I have very specific taste when it comes to tea. I drink it straight, without sugar or

Long Week, Factories, and Kids
A terribly busy week. We wrote Ryder on Monday and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday, after a discussion with Avon, a decision was made to write Arabella’s very short story bribe. By the way, thank you to all of the OB-GYN who responded. We got our two experts, but we deeply appreciate your help. We

American “Bulgogi” and Russian Morkovcha
Oh noes, it’s a cooking post. I promised you return to a somewhat normal blogging. Today I offer you two recipes of Korean origin. These shouldn’t be mistaken for original Korean cuisine. It’s more of American/Korean and Russian/Korean fusion, but they are yummy and cheap. Bulgogi. When pandemic started, I bought a bunch of chuck

Scythians
This is a film about Tomiris, the queen and war chief of Scythians who defeated and killed Cyrus the Great around 530 BC. We used proto-Scythian tribes as the model for the People of the Kurgan, so these are Julie’s people. Archeological evidence suggest that they were probably a bit more blondish, but the movie
