Nadia Bolz-Weber will be in Louisville March 6. #RedStateRevival. Super excited. Getting my ticket this morning. Https://www.tixtree.com/e/an-evening-with-nadia-bolz-weber-in-louisville-cc43bed43630

I Googled "cherry pie filling and white cake mix." We needed a follow up to our dinner of homemade chili with our tomatoes. Here is Cinnamon Cherry Cake.

Going old school. Using our tomatoes from the summer in chili, the base. House smells so good.

Sausage biscuits made.

That time my husband was a portrait studio Santa. He looked amazing. 2010.

Through the #GoodGivingChallenge this week, our donors gave $2215 and we are so grateful. Spreading awareness of risks and symptoms, providing education, being part of a support communinity? Ovarian cancer wasn't on my bingo card. Helping others? I am 100% in. Our website www.BOCSky.org

No one should face ovarian/gynecologic cancer alone. There is no test or definitive screening for ovarian cancer. I was stage 3. Awareness of risks and symptoms are the best defense. Help me get the word out by contributing in these last few hours to BOCS. Thank you www.bggives.org/organization...

Not seen: the lasagna noodles laying on tea towels hanging over chair backs and the extra bamboo drying rack. We have a ridiculous quantity of tea towels. I bake. A lot.

My husband and I did this today. I did pasta dough from scratch and he rolled. 2 lasagnas made with Italian sausage, spinach, and onion. And cheese. [I cheat and sometimes use cottage cheese. I am my mama's daughter. She taught me.] Today, mozz and shredded 6 cheese "blend." But gracious.

I am a 3 year NED stage 3 #ovariancancersurvivor. A group I volunteer with here in Central KY is fundraising this week. Our only fundraiser. If you could donate. We alternate in person and Zoom monthly meetings. We are survivors and people in treatment. Thank you. www.bggives.org/organization...

When I picked up "Dear Theo" in 2022, in the new year after opening it for Christmas, I wasn't ready I guess. And now, I get stopped by a turn of phrase often. “One of the most beautiful things to do is to paint darkness, which nevertheless has light in it.” #vangogh

Dawn today. #ladytime

Sharing widely.

My happy face. With the women who know me best. We're a clock of joined parts -- 35 years, give or take. #ladytime

Long weekend away with my besties. #ladytime

Absolutely true! I'm an IT librarian and the learning never stops. So many things to share and explore. Go check out your public library! Your academic peeps if that's your situation.

Stress baking. Made kerchief pasta last night from scratch. Been making pasta at home for years, since #pastagrannies inspired me. Fresh pasta is so amazing. We had a huge salad and this, roast chicken in a garlic caper parmesan cream sauce.

#Kentucky #schoollibraian peeps: What things about KYVL do you need a refresher on? I'm doing the #KASLpowerhour on Thursday night and would love to hear from you. What would you like to see covered? @kasl-librarians.bsky.social @kyvl.bsky.social

Many quarts of chicken broth made today.

We're doing all the domestic stuff today. Making chix broth & chix salad, moving furniture to prep for holiday decorating & gatherings, sewing up the split seam in the critter's gigantic bean bag chair. Chicken salad is roast chicken, chopped dill pickle, grated onion and finely chopped broccoli.

Domestic time at our house. Making chicken broth, furniture got moved, the critter moved his drum kit to a new home.

Every now and then.

Self care. Blocked.

Where are my GenX peeps? I'm a mid-50s IT librarian mom - my kid is 14. I believe in the power of information and reading, that our public libraries are a sanctuary for everybody, that school libraries make windows for kids, and public education is our backbone. #genx #librarians #libraries

I have baked 2 loaves of Walnut Apple Fritter Bread and almond brownies are in the oven. #kitchenalchemy

Watching "Holiday" with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant for my many-ith viewing. Go Johnny, you leave corporate America and find your own path, with Linda by your side.

Perfect day for it.
