You and the Queen's shoes side by side is hysterical! So is your agenda for the day. You'll have to come back and let us know the gender and age spread of the Woodworking get together! Have so much fun!
Hi gang. We're a little below zero here this morning. I declared spring already. I don't know why the weather is refusing.
I'm taking off for Connecticut shortly. Fine Woodworking Magazine and a Hartford woodworking school where I've taken a bunch of classes are having an open house. It'll be nice to see some folks I haven't gotten together with in quite a while.

Morning y'all. Those cookies are adorable QJB!
I have a busy day ahead. I need to finally apply at the clinic...being sick for a week is for the birds. Then I have an appointment at the same clinic with my PCP this afternoon. I'm pretty sure I have good ol' thrush in my mouth and throat. Classic symptoms. Hopefully I'll get some nystatin or anything to help. I am feeling a tiny bit better. I have had a lot of low blood sugars this week. Even with cutting back on insulin. It's weird. Had a 51 last night and man did it just about do me in. My tasters off so food isn't appealing, I had to drink a regular coke just to get it going up...I need to get some of those gel BS boosters at the pharmacy.
QOTD: my most favorite song right now is Gone(reimagined) by Atreyu. As for TV, we're watching the new season of Drain the Oceans on Disney +
food is mush, I may blend some ham.
A meme and a pic I took a few years back.

Good morning and happy Friday! Glad there was no need for the emergency app yesterday!
qotd - Monsieur Spade was great, I'm enjoying Sugar. I'm waiting on Gentleman in Moscow until they are all out. Book wise, I'm reading The Young Queens and I had a strong recommendation for You Dreamed of Empire so I'm going to pick that up at tomorrow's Independent Bookstore day.
menu
coffee and egg bites
cheese and chomps

Good Morning! The event last night went off with no issues. They moved it to a super secret location and so even though the protest did happen, it was on the other side of campus so I never saw them. I assume it was a peaceful protest because we have an emergency alert app and I never got anything.
I am glad to have a WFH day today. I have a few zoom meetings but I have a lot of time to get caught up and organized which feels like a dream :)
QOTD: Round up! What books, podcasts, films or shows are you watching? I have been listening to some fun fast psychological thriller audiobooks from B.A. Paris. I like them because they are short and bingeable. I also listened to a podcast called Hello, John Doe. The story was hella interesting, but I thought the way the podcast was done was really problematic. If anyone else listens to it, I would love to hear what you think.
Pics are: My cobweb broom! And some Star Wars cookies :)
So sorry that I am running a menu thread with no menu for 2 days in a row, lol. But yesterday I ate out all day and today I need to eat down the fridge because I made so much food on Monday and have been eating like 3 bites of it at a time because of my tiny meals mandate. I need to go through and figure out what is left and what needs to be frozen, etc.
Have a fantastic weekend!

I've heard of the magic that is porchetta, but I've never had it. And I love that they keep it simple.
6'3" tall, male.

I knew you would notice that.
And see the pic with the guy cutting into a round shape meat? That's porchetta. It's pork, obviously, but cooked in a way that I find only in Italy and only at our weekly markets. It's mouth watering and when they give it to you it's only with bread. It's a panino (sandwich) of bread and porchetta and it melts in your mouth.
