It was honestly a hell of week, with the combination of news, weather, and work.
Over the weekend I made some cookies. The recipe is one from my college days, and took a little digging to find, so I [wrote it up][c] on my blog to share with y'all.
By coincidence, I read a [toot][genehack-toot] on Mastodon on Monday talking about writing and sharing recipes, and how the standard formats often don't serve us well. Gene's post about [Recipe Affordances][recipe-affordances] was a good read. All of that made me think of some conversations I've had with [Elaine][e] about how we format recipes, something she's thought a lot about too. It also reminded me of some thinking I've done on how to share recipes here on this site in a more structured way. Maybe one day you'll see a /recipes section.
Wednesday was [TDoR][tdor].
Someone on Mastodon raved about a new city builder that came out over the summer 2024 called [Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic][wnr]. Design and build your own Soviet-era city!
Republicans in the US House of Representatives [worked themselves into a froth][morn] this week over newly elected House Representative Sarah McBride. The first in what will undoubtedly be a long string of attacks on the trans community from an emboldened right wing congress.
One of the best things about my home state is the fact that it doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time. XKCD ran a good strip this week about it.
Tess and I watched the NWSL final on Saturday night between the Orlando Pride and Washington Spirit. The Orlando Pride had an incredible season this year, and pulled out a [1-0 victory][nwsl] against the Spirit.
