Sometimes I think the highest regarded dishes are about the way they look rather than the process, execution, or the taste. The more I learn to cook, the more I appreciate the nuance of each step!

We are in the same boat, however, I wanted you to know that your positivity changed my perspective and I left this post feeling happy for everyone who can properly celebrate this holiday, rather than bitter that I cannot.

Thank you! 💜

But then what do you with the included frosting? I’m for sure not gonna throw that shit away!

Now someone is… checks notes… “Taking the piss” which either means giving us yanks shit or genuinely confused about how we could be confused… I think?

I’m a Damned Yankee that used to just be a Yankee working for a company headquartered in Scotland & Alabama for ten years. I don’t know anymore!

Thank you!

Very good! The cookie itself was pillowy and the lemon tartness was mild. Rather than plopping from a spoon I quickly rolled them into 1/2" balls.

The slight sweetness of the chocolate ganache contrasted with the lemon, I liked it as a dessert cookie. The lemon glaze emphasized the lemon in the cookie and was very bright!

They can. And they will.

Thank you!

You have a very interesting phone collection and I appreciate you sharing! Unlocked memories I didn’t even know I had! 😃

So true! ☹️

I have to put my own mayo on the sandwich? WTF

PHEV is the answer! Give us options, doesn’t have to be one of the other; Chevy Volt had it for a bit, but it must not have been profitable because now I can’t find a PHEV that gets more than 30 miles on a full charge!

I loved my Volt… Charged overnight in a normal 110 outlet got me the 43 miles to work and back (after about year 5, not quite the whole way) but I could still decide to go on a 600 mile road trip spur of the moment. Had to give up the 2014 in 2023 when a full charge wouldn’t go 20 miles. ☹️

There is no PHEV comparable now, though! Made the switch back to full ICE and I hate it.

I’m so jealous of your hair! Gorgeous! Happy birthday doll!

Why reheat?

Switching the hot breakfast for a cold one is a bold move!

Now we will have the “beastlykings” weekday breakfast at my house. I appreciate you!!

I’m struggling with the “little to no preparation required” part, I can see prep the night before for everything but the avocado and toast. Any tips to avoid cold hard bread and brown slimy avocado?

Yes! Never really thought to question it though… now I’m re-thinking everything I thought I knew about food clarification!

Oh! In New England “quarter of” is 15 minutes before the hour (19:45) and “quarter after” is 15 minutes after the hour (20:15). That might explain why my colleagues in Alabama were surprised when I left a meeting at 9:45 when I had clearly warned them I had a hard stop at quarter of ten!

Interesting distinction none of us picked up on!
