I made a baby quilt! entirely myself, from start to finish, and it's a whole-ass quilt and it looks so good and I'm SO proud of myself. the quilt is for the new baby in my house, belonging to two of my housemates, and I hope baby will get much love and warmth from it over the years.

always so funny when an incident in your history was a deeply important growth and learning moment for you, and the other person doesn't remember it at all!
(the time when I was about 20 and my partner's parents invited us to go to a museum exhibit with them but I didn't think it sounded like an interesting exhibit, and my partner broke it down for me how SOMETIMES people ask you if you want to do a thing but there are UNSPOKEN MESSAGES in that ask, and the meaning of the request isn't actually found in the literal interpretation of the words. my autistic ass: 🤯 )

last week my zoom theatre group did Glass Onion and I played peak asshole idiot Miles Bron and it was SO fun. one of the things I have learned from zeatre over the years is that I have so much fun playing characters who are out of touch and overconfident!

I make a pie for Pi Day every year because it's a good excuse for pie, and hot damn, the pie I made this year was even better than I thought it would be, and I had high expectations!
the recipe: Bon Appetit's extremadura almond pie
The filling is like a custardy marzipan with a thin layer of like chewy meringuey caramelized sugar on the top, and it's amaaaaazing
The pie is excellent on its own, but with its richness and sweetness, I think it would pair very well with a tart fruit sauce like sour cherry, which would take it to the next level. It would also be great with orange zest in the filling.
I didn't put in the optional almond extract, and found that the almond flour gave it plenty of flavour on its own. I also used my own standard pie crust recipe.
Highly recommend this pie experience. Fair warning though. it WILL take longer to bake than it says it will.

just getting emotional again about the TGCF line where Xie Lian says that until he met Hua Cheng he didn't know what a simple thing it is to be happy ðŸ˜
