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](/recipes) section.

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](https://xkcd.com/3014/) this week
|
|
about it.

Tess and I watched the <abbr title="National Womens' Soccer League">NWSL</abbr>
|
|
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.
