*whispers* put cinnamon in your taco spice mixture

@Xover0 Did you ever see my traveling Negroni kit? https://mastodon.social/@LilPecan/113128345826743774 I made it as a lark. Thought you might find the endeavor amusing.

I'm trying that homemade rust remover I retweeted earlier. Had trouble finding something suitably rusty but pulled this hardware off and old miter saw. It's soaking now. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow. If it works, I'll do the saw blade. I bought some […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Insisting that everyone should have a clear, recognizable and unchangeable gender only makes sense if you want to treat people of different genders differently. Which you clearly shouldn't.

Today in vintage store shopping, I found a popcorn cart for $9.99! I've always wanted one but seemed excessive to spend $150 on something that only makes popcorn. It was filthy and caked with oil, which is probably why it had been marked down from its […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Fun fact: When you criticize the way an #actuallyautistic person communicates, it's pretty likely that they don't actually change the way they communicate, they just communicate less.

I'm not certain what is happening but I'm here for it.

I grilled radishes. They were delicious. #radishes #grill

It's insane the number of rechargeable table lamps, solar lights, rechargeable battery packs and solar battery packs I've accumulated. At first it was for utility because we have an older house and electrical outlets aren't always convenient. Now if I see a good deal, I take advantage of it. If […]

Three forkfuls of cole slaw is not a side of cole slaw.

@consumablejoy @JamesK I'm going to try this based on it's name alone: https://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2025/05/smoother-than-horse-on-skates.html?m=1

@croyle Did you hear this radio program about short wave radio? https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/divided-dial

V: I didn't realize Mexico had a navy. P: Well, if your country bordered the Gulf of America wouldn't you?

Clever Again.

I'm lucky I have small foil labels so I can put the actual contents on the reverse side of the bottles without disturbing the style of the decanter. I think it is a really cool example of 1970's design and I am lucky I found it since I had already been to the stall I bought it from and it had […]

Here is the decanter I picked up yesterday at #Brimfield. It still had liquor in it but I am not a museum so down the sink it went (though I saved the gold from the Liqueur D'or.) I am restoring it by cleaning, polishing it, replacing the cork and doing my […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

This is just a reminder the Saudi Crown Prince had Jamal Kashoggi killed and dismembered, in case you have forgotten who the U.S. is kneeling to.

@JamesK @consumablejoy I did not find the gin I was looking for today, not that it matters because I still have some, but I did find this. I've lost track that these Hendrick's specials tend to come out annually. Maybe I'm just over tired from walking miles […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Didn't find much at Brimfield this time around but that has more to do with having already scored the vintage/antique finds I want in previous years. Today I bought one of these for $15 https://saltrivercollectibles.com/products/vintage-glass-hip-flask-1927-by-universal and one of these for $5 […]

Boston Weekend thread for May 16-18th, 2025 - a human-curated list of events worth the trip from #Boston. Please consider giving a boost to get the word out, and following the #BostonWeekend tag. #SomervilleMA #NewEngland #Massachusetts #BostonWeekend 1/?

@knizer For your list, Brimfield is this week, rain or shine. https://www.brimfieldantiquefleamarket.com/

@Asbestos The MIG welding comment got me.

Sometimes I'm not here because the world gets to be a bit much & I have to shut it off. I don't expect people to stop being angry (I am!) Or cease finding diversions to make life more bearable. We have to fill up our emotional tanks to fight what's going on in the world. But if it's too much, I […]

So chilly tonight on the deck but I'm certain it will soon be the opposite. I finish my chamomile tea and delight in the progress of my container garden. I planted a big container of chamomile and lobelia. There's lemon balm, lemongrass and sweet woodruff. Indian mint is now in the fountain […]

Three dollar amaro shots aren't conducive to a day job spent wielding knives. #IllJustHaveOne

Typical. #RedSox

When I saw this food thermos (left) on clearance I couldn't resist it because it coordinates with my vintage thermos. The only thing missing was a handle, which the food thermoses don't come with, so I made one, mimicking the design of the handle on the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@JamesK @consumablejoy I picked up three of these drink stoppers for $6 each, new. (Tried one, went back for two more.) USB rechargeable. Three settings. Really convenient for areas with low light like my bourbon tray.So clever and handy!

[Cocktail] My drink of the moment: Bijou. Sublime. Will make again. #cocktail #bartending #imbibe

I am in a brew pub in a seedy strip mall. I know, right? I'm glad I didn't follow my prejudice because, once inside, you'd never know you were in a seedy strip mall. Beer is delicious. Ordered food which tends toward Indian. Will report back. #OmniumBrewing

Happy Mothers' Day to all those who have, regretfully, survived living without their mother for many Mothers' Days because all her valuable lessons paved the way to make them strong, independent and resilient. And to all the people who have mothered others simply because it was the right thing […]

It is officially Spring in our household once the fountain is trickling again. Fun fact: this fountain was purchased for one dollar at a flea market and has provided four summers of solace and joy ever since. #Spring #Fountain #Reuse #planter #Spearmint #lilypad #peaceful

The Red Sox are shocked, SHOCKED, to find out their prima donna is a prima donna. #RedSox

#BostonWeekend 1/? It's time for your Boston Weekend thread for May 8-11, 2025. Welcome! Please give this thread a boost if you find it useful. Every week I compile events near Boston that are worth the trip. #Boston #Massachusetts #BostonMA #NewEngland

The tinted lenses that clip onto my driving glasses had huge scratches from when I once dropped them. I put a little headlight polishing paste onto a small cloth wheel, installed this into my rotary tool and poof! Scratches gone in less than thirty seconds. Wish I thought to do this sooner […]

It's not the proper time to go forward with a US Pope if we want to live in a world with empathy and understanding.

You Do It Electronics would have my switch but Amazon put them out of business. A lot of good Amazon does me when my 4.5v 2 pole push button switch doesn't show up in any search. This is what we've lost and continue to lose.

[Politics/Farming] Nearby farm used to fly a "Farmers For Trump" flag. This flag has recently disappeared though the US flag that accompanied it is still there. What happened dude? Don't have anyone to sell your crops to now that DOGE eliminated USAID?

Poor John. He sits in this box, among his guts, waiting for a new switch so he can speak out and identify himself to the world but, alas, I can find no replacement switch. Can you help John? #toy #StuffedAnimal #TalkingToy #JohnThePig #repair #ElectricSwitch
