You know you are a baking nerd when you are excited to use the double boiler to make the ganache!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Hauling in wood, just in case the ice/snow takes the power out--which is as close as I ever get to feeling like a heroine in one of Dorothy Garlock's old frontier romances! :-)

Moving article by @aktange.bsky.social — “In the first half of the 19th century, between 40% and 50% of children in the U.S. didn’t live past the age of 5. …But the collective pain of a high child mortality rate was eradicated not by time, but by effort.” theconversation.com/infectious-d...
