I made these with some more pureed pumpkin for Sunday dinner with my old neighbors. These were super simple to make and made a great addition to a lovely dinner of butternut squash bisque and a chuck roast.

Carnegie was big on that. He would pour millions into public works projects like libraries, schools, and performance halls. At the same time he would send auditors to figure out the average cost of living around his steel mills and intentionally pay employees about 80% of that just to keep them dependent on him.
All corporations are evil. All billionaires are bastards.

I rememeber people talking about 2 Girls 1 cup im the gym locker in middle school. 3 guys one hammer was a straight up sniff film that made the rounds of all the forums back in 2009. It reached a point where Lemon Party was mild enough to be referenced on a TV show.

Metric would be perfect if 10 wasn't such a dog shit number to base our counting off of. Sure it works for dividing things in half, but how often do you need to break something down into fifths? Halves, thirds, and quarters are 90% of typical division people do, with tenths being most of the rest since 10 is that only number that our base system actually works with.

1942 is the middle of WW2. 1937 in Central Europe is not somewhere i want live, because things are about to go sideways.

If the local county records get broken into and every property deed gets stolen, the theif doesn't have ownership of every property in the county. Anything that represents physical ownership of an item is way more secure with a physical paper trial than a digital one. I understand that cryptocurrencies are different than cryptography, but a physical copy of a record i own and an official copy that a relevant party owns, such as a local government, hospital, or bank will always be more secure than digital tokens of ownership.

So do authorized notaries and paper trails for physical documents. Everyone who had a wallet hacked that lost NFTs or currencies can tell you that crypto cant protect your assets.

The badger moniker comes from lead miners that initially settled the Wisconsin territory. They often didn't even bother building homes at first and just lived in their wildcat lead mines, like a badger.

They viewed themselves as the descendants of Troy, the mortal enemy of Greece. It was a weird hate boner for Greece, who had colonies in Italy during the early years of Rome, so Romans set themselves up as rivals to Greece.

It's pumpkin season here in Ohio, s[o i bought a couple pie pumpkins from a farm market and wemt to town.](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/891f45fb-31d1-4c4c-b85c-958104ee7efa.jpeg) Unfortunately i had a lot of trouble with my pastry dough, which was ledt over from the danishes i made for the laminated challenge. You can see uncooked puff pastry on the pie, and the crust also came off the pie pan and was a hot mess. But the pumpkin filling was excellent and a big!
I think i need bigger pipe tips. These were supposed to be churros, but the dough came out so narrow even on my largest pipe tip, and the ridges got lost when i fried the churros. So i called them churro fries instead and am gonna pretend that was my plan all along!
Finally got everyone to the vet today. Both girls were perfect and everyone there loved them. Absolutely no fussing, even when they got theor FVRCP vaccines. Now everyone is sleeping off the excitement. This is the first time i think i have ever seen them sleep in the condo at the same time
[I do weekly baking challenges](https://midwest.social/post/17222393) and decided to do Cincinnati chili since it's not a true regional delicacy unkess people argue about it anytime it is brought up. My friends have lived here in NW Ohio for 3 years and mever tried Skyline, so i brought it over to them. I forgot the oyster crackers, and they were hesitant to put the full mountain of cheese, but over all they enjoyed it.
It's not a real regional specialty unless people get really angry about it online, and few regional delicacies stir up emotions like Cincinnati chili. I'm in Northern Ohio,which doesn't have anything special, but Skyline is decisive across all of Ohio. Posted about it in one group chat and a big fight aboit whether it was edible or not broke out. Another, more favorable chat, started arguing about chocolate in the chili. Since the chili isn't really a challenge, [I decided to make the spaghetti myself](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/d0defdfd-003b-423e-a5cd-61d97b3cd261.jpeg). I already had the roller, but i have only used it once. The history of Cincinnati chili is actually fascinating. I didn't realize it was made by Greek immigrants, so there are loads of Mediterranean spices like cloves, allspice, cumin, and cinnamon in the chili, as well as a bit of dark chocolate. I'm a beans and onion guy, so i went for the full 5 way chili, although i forgot to bring my oyster crackers.
Made everything from scratch here! I picked up the plums from a local farmers market, but end of August/early September is tricky for fruits around northern Ohio since everyone is trying to get their corn, soy, pumpkin, and squash harvested and off to market. While this was a fun one, to quote Mary Berry, "life's too short to make your own puff pastry". Normally i only make my own for meat pies since you wont find any puff pastry with mustard in it state side.
[Bonus pic](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/a757327e-213d-4566-85b2-4f3a09ff9129.jpeg) That's her absolute favorite toy, so it stays inside the cat condo on my dresser. Both kitties like to nap up there, but only Nini ever goes in to grab her mouse. And yes, the mouse is named Merlin lol.
Someone just walked into the restaurant i work at, dumped this soaking wet kitten in the lobby, and left without saying a word. I just got a kitten this month, so i took her home with me since i have kitten supplies and everyone else at work has too many pets. She cried the whole ride home, and my kitten (13 weeks old), Niniane was not happy about the new cat. I took the stray into the bathroom and fed her. Afterwards i weighed her and she wasn't even 2lbs. She was absolutely filthy, so i gave her a quick bath without much struggle. I dried her off and groomed her with the slicker brush and then let Niniane into the bathroom so they could socialize a bit. Nini was curious, but very standoffish and mostly just hissed while the stray just wanted to climb into my lap. I put a cat hammock, scratching post, and some toys in the bathroom (none of which Nini uses) and have locked the stray in there until i know she is litter trained. Currently she is jist sleeping in the hammock, so i think I'll leave her there for the night and try to socialize the kittens some more tomorrow. Edit: i think i am gonna call her Boudica. It's much better than "the stray". She just peed in the litter box and even buried it, so that's a massive step. Unfortunately I'm still gonna keep her in in the bathroom for the next few days, but I'm so glad she used the litter box.
For those of you who aren't aware, the buckeyes are mascot for the Ohio State University, [and college football season is back upon us!](https://youtu.be/qPbjJafRUFk?si=uzTpcCzaVezUDKWn) Ohio is the buckeye state due to the large number of buckeye trees in the state. While buckeyes nuts are toxic, [the buckeye is the de facto state candy of Ohio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckeye_%28candy%29?wprov=sfla1). My grandma used to have a box them to share every Christmas when i was little, and the are the best chocolate and peanut candy you'll ever taste. The official colors for the Ohio State University are scarlet and silver, so i made a raspberry sauce and silver icong to decorate my plate. Go Bucks! And Muck Fichigan!
The only loose leaf earl grey that they had at the store was with lavender. So i ended up making a lavender buttercream to avoid too much earl grey in the cake. It was a big hit at work!
Absolutely devastating story. Gaudreau was supposed to be in his sister's wedding today. Instead, he and his brother were stuck by a drunk driver while cycling last night.
Never had a kitten before, but i got her from a friend of a friend for free. She is a couple weeks shy of 3 months old and is an absolute sweetheart. No accidents outside the litter box after a week, and she has even let me trim her paws! She was 2lbs 5ozs when i got her and she is growing well. She's way less shy than when i got her and has become super curious and playful the past week.
