My wife and I are not good with holding back presents. Or keeping secrets about presents. So here’s my Christmas Present early. I think they are so pretty!

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

    One of my best Christmas presents ever was when my partner bought me one of these, so you and yours definitely made a good decision by opening them early!

    My mother had that big mushroom jar. She used to put cookies in it, until I broke it. 😆☹️

      I grew up with them, too. Flour in the big one, sugar in the middle one. They disappeared when the kitchen got a ‘contemporary’ renovation.

      Cookies had to be sealed in tupperware, so they wouldn’t dry out.

    Man, those things are great, I have had sooooo much fun with one of these and the meal always comes out great! I hope you have as much fun with those as I do!

    I too am absolutely delighted with my decisions in terms of cookware lately. Two cast iron dutch ovens, one enameled, one not, a cast iron pan, a carbon steel pan and three stainless pots, one big enough to boil a whole chicken for soup…

    So the concert was a experience. I’m still not sure if I’m glad I went or if I regret it, but I tend more toward the regret side.
    3 hours of near constant pain, the place was significantly more crowded than anyone expected. So this 190kg behemoth had to just stand there in the most uncomfortable shoes known to man.
    And the music quite often hit notes that really hurt in my head because they resonate.

    Halloween we also got unexpectedly a pair of kids to show up, so we dumped a whole lot of candy on them XD
    Was def worth it hauling out the deco for that.

    Damn is that cast iron??

    The platelet donation went well! I should get my A1C results at…some point. I haven’t actually done the screening through a red cross promotion before.

    A relative wants a stuffy that’s essentially a squishmallow for christmas. So I made and tested a squishmallow sewing pattern over the weekend. Now I need to make the actual stuffy.

    That looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun.

    Same. As soon as I buy something for someone, I want them to have it. And then there’s a month of horrible uncertainty where I overthink whether they’ll like it, whether it was enough, and (in the case of people I’m not close with) whether I’ve already given them one.

    Japanese chef guy is two for two; I made his mushroom recipe and they turned out exactly like the video. I’m neurotic when I cook, and seeing every step laid out with all the mistakes I could be making is really helpful. I grilled some overengineered hamburgers and made mushroom Swiss burgers with them, which turned out to be the best hamburgers I’ve ever made. So gg, strange masked internet chef. I think I’ll try his shrimp next.

    Still tired. Like always now. Yesterday the chores were all done which was good. Today I need to take out four bulk trash items and the trash and hope they take it tomorrow.

    I am now enraged about cat litter boxes and want to shriek again.
