Had my own Great British Baking Show technical challenge today. Made @williamzest great grandmothers raisin cookie recipe. After making the filling the next line just said “make dough” with a list of ingredients. With the help of my mom, they turned out great!Opened our 🎁 from each other this morning 🥰 with the biggest tree we’ve ever had. 🎄Will named him Dwane “The Tree” Johnson.Smorrebrod brunch 🤤. Traditional Danish rye bread and pickles made by @williamzest 😍 I had pickled herring with daikon radish spouts and dill, smoked salmon with Will’s pickles, and fried egg with cheese and tomato. I resisted having danish coffee (with brown sugar and aquavit 😜)Thanks @caravanvet for taking great care of us for over 6 years! Pigeon (and we) love the comfort and ease of not having to leave her home. (I should have gotten a picture of all of us on the living room floor 🤪) We also deeply appreciated the cards and care you’ve expressed over our loss of Turtle. I strongly recommend @caravanvet, for us it is 100% worth the added expense of a home visit.

Camping Thwarted
It wasn’t for lack of trying. It just felt particularly difficult this year. Type two fun still has to feel worth it. Sometimes being temporarily miserable doesn’t feel rewarding or satisfying. Not much camping occurred on this winter trip. Will … Continue reading
Ready for…?
We’re ready…. We’ve been towing weight around the track at the gym… I’ve towed 205lbs for a 1/2 mile. I’ve deadlifted 200lbs once. Now I feel somewhat prepared to haul Will out of the woods in an emergency. Although he’s … Continue reading
