I think I need to figure out how to make a really thick masala chai syrup and drizzle it on slices of cake.

I just spent several minutes chasing and catching a bug to throw it outside only to have it immediately fly back inside. Ffs.

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

I finished the carrot cake. Mmmmmmm. Time to plan what to bake next.

It's been so lovely and quiet in the mornings this week as the local elementary school is on spring break.

Let's see how this works on Bsky: I am looking for a scientist by the name of Spice to write a Shugar & Spice paper. 🧪⚒️
