I can hear the kid muttering “why is everything in this country going so forking wrong? Fork everything” Can you tell she’s seen a few episodes of The Good Place?

The child has found my old Calvin and Hobbes books from my childhood! The day has come! The prophecy fulfilled! All jokes aside, I have been waiting for her to discover them organically rather than having them thrust upon her so this is very exciting for me

I’m still getting the hang of working with the sticky rice but the kid will have cat shaped onigiri for lunch tomorrow. I can’t decide if I want to tell her now or leave it as a surprise lol

It took way longer than I expected but I have made my first clarified cocktail. It’s a cherry custard cocktail and it’s delicious!

Continuing the trend of playing board games with the kid, she got Finest Fish for Christmas and was very excited to open it up finally. It’s pretty easy to play but balancing the strategy is satisfying #boardgames

First board game of 2025! I got this for Christmas and was pretty excited to try it out. It’s delightful! Even the kid enjoyed it! And finding games for all three of us can be a challenge lol

Me “In an ideal system we’d eat one fish, one chicken and two vegetarian dinners a week.” Kid “In an ideal system everyone would have food and houses and money wouldn’t exist.” Okay tiny Marx, I’m trying to discuss the dinner plan, you have to work with me here

2025 is not the year for dry January so we’re drinking a violet gin fizz tonight

So we’ve never done Santa with our kid. It’s a combination of things but we’re bothered by the inherent economic inequality of the Santa system and I find how social media pressures parents to make every Christmas more and more magical very stressful. 1/
