They aren’t as unhappy as they look. I’m about ready to head into the kitchen to start the roast. If you want, menu and recipes are here. Along with a bonus Bixby as a puppy picture I stumbled across in my photo files.
How is everyone finishing out their Sunday? Open thread.

They look great, but I think Bailey needs diamonds.

Think we can get Cole to sign up?

Your Dabits are adorable, in spite of your reassurances, I wouldn’t turn my back on those Dabits until you’ve given them a well deserved extra treat as penance for your transgression. How could you!!

Question: Is Alex Pareene’s descent into electoral nihilism during the election cycle made worse by the fact that starting 2017 he’s reverted to his (generally at least B+-material) range?* Or should it count for something that he didn’t completely disappear down the rabbit hole?
*Since it was brought up in one of last week’s threads — no, his hatred of Cuomo was always constant in 2015-16.

I have to be careful to check for hairs in the food pics I put up, and for food in the hair shots. Gabe is a big help, there.

Baking biscotti, then bread, then if I’m ambitious putting the ham in the oven. Gearing up for a walk while the bread is in the oven. Transcribing some story starts and wondering why in hell I have a half-dozen starts and so few finishes. Scritching the pups (who would NOT sit still for bunny ears. Well, maybe Stella would. But definitely not Luna!)

I see that picture and think “I am not an Easter bunny” in Worf’s voice.

Re-posting from prior thread, because I want to make sure it gets seen:
I need to ask the local (SF Bay Area) jackals for some (possible) help. I’m the caregiver for a dear friend with multiple medical issues. She’s recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor which is destroying her sight. She lives in assisted living (she’s in the East Bay, San Pablo) and has two cats. Geoffrey is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day. He’s a sweet, loving, mellow boy, a brown tabby, about 10 years old. He needs a new home. My friend is broken-hearted, but she can’t adequately care for him. His brother, Spooky, also needs a new home but has no particular medical needs, so re-homing him is not an emergency, but finding a new home (temporary or permanent) for Geoffrey definitely is. Can BJ help? Please, spread the word among your friends. I’m the contact person, and you can reach me at my email address — the front pagers can supply it to you. A foster home, while a permanent one is found, would be fine. THANK YOU.

@Miss Bianca:
Idle question: do you ever go up to that farm to visit the two (former) office kitties? I’m sure they’re happy with things to chase and all that space.

@bystander: Do they have an overalls section?

Dogs never look happy when debased by their humans.
I tried a new recipe, something called Little French Fudge Cakes and am underwhelmed. Maybe they’ll age well.

I have a ham in the oven that I’ll put a maple glaze on, mashed potatoes and a kale salad ready for my dinner. Heard from the kids, one working today, the other on his first day off in several weeks. Was debating where to plant my sticks with roots now that it’s dried out a bit outside, but now I’m feeling lazy.
I love lazy days like this, especially after tough days at work like yesterday. This is my idea of an almost perfect holiday (perfect would be cooking for the family and friends).
Everyone enjoy the rest of your day!

@SiubhanDuinne: I was just there yesterday, in fact…saw Pancho, but not Lefty. I’ll have to post some photos to Alain – Lefty climbing on the paddock fence, playing with my horse Iron’s face, is just too precious…as well as her boxing my friend’s West Highland White terrier…

Nathan’s dogs in authentic German saukraut, Mr WereBear’s special way.
Don’t even think of bunny ears with cats…
Miss Bianca
@WereBear: OK, “Nathan’s dogs” gave me a quite a turn, till I realized you meant “hot dogs”…all I could think was, “who is Nathan, and what have his poor dogs ever done to you?”!

@John Cole:
LOL!
I’d say only you would think this but I’ve been here far too long so I know better.

Cute! Please do send photos to Alain.

Anyone watch the Medici family series on Netflix?

Has anyone seen Kellyanne Conway recently? I feel like she’s completely fallen off the radar.
BTW: Chrome spellcheck wants to change Kellyanne to Pollyanna, and that’s really perfect.

Wife is a church musician, so it was a busy morning and a busy week. Just lazing around this afternoon with the ducks & geese at the local pond and it’s a great feeling.
Miss Bianca
@bystander: Made me look…
@Adam L Silverman: No, Cole’s section would be “hot dogs with dudes”, right? (where *is* the mustard, anyway?)
Adam L Silverman
@Miss Bianca: I’m not sure what that means and I don’t think I want to know either.

I just woke up from a lovely nap and now I’m going to throw a roast in the oven. Maybe I’ll roast some asparagus, definitely some small potatoes and carrots. After dinner the dogs and I will go on a nice walk.
ThresherK
Yesterday I prepared something for Spousal ThresherK. Her favorite high-class meal is prime rib, and I got a great deal on standing rib roast, so that was Saturday’s dinner.
We’re just eating slices of it until it’s finished, and tonight I’m using the drippings for a fresh Yorkshire pudding. (Yes, intentional pun to follow “Nathan’s dogs”.)

@Hal:
I think she was on either FOX or some other right wing outlet recently, but I did see via Crooks and Liars that CIA Director Mike Pompeo, threw shade at her and so Mike and Ho felt the need to mock her for all that they are worth, which isn’t much.

Has there been any kind of Betty Cracker sighting today? I want to see pictures of this year’s Butter Lamb!

Beautiful poem by Jane Hirschfield published in the WAPO as about the presidency — but its bigger than that. See what you think about it…
Wishing everyone a beautiful day and praying for a world of love…

@Adam L Silverman: I don’t think so, but Cole could fill the niche.
@Miss Bianca: Hot or hawt?
I’ve been enjoying people changing Conway’s name to Smellyanne. Juvenile but I’ll go for all the laughs I can.

@Ceci n est pas mon nym: Don’t know, never saw it.
@Alain the site fixer: I sent you some DTLA night pics.

The mustard is real, Colonel Mustard was spotted on the deck, naked with a mop, running towards the field with the marooned car.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: I keep yours and Comte’s in reserve because there are bursts from others. I’ve got a few more in reserve right now, so if you ever want me to show something more timely, tell me!

In case you check back, see if you can email a couple of photos to Anne Laurie with their story. She may be able to do a front page post.
