Tell me some joys, please. Little ones are as good as big ones—sometimes even better. What's bringing you joy right now?

Seriously gross. I went outside to water my plants around 10:00 and it was already way too hot. Glad it's "cooling down" tomorrow, have to go to the office for the day.

Sharing this partially to grumble, partially to realize how thankful I am that our AC works well, and partially to show @floregonian.com how gross it was here today (but not humid at all).

Sometimes they have to remind me they don't need my help. Sometimes I have to remind them that they don't need my help. But it's working out great, and they both should know how to cook many of their favorite meals before they are 18.

I started with, "You have to pick 1 meal a week that you want to eat." Then moved to, "Now you get to help make that 1 meal a week!" and now to, "You are making that 1 meal a week." I help as much as they need, but also push back when they ask for help with something that I know they can do.

My 12-year-old is attempting to make breakfast burritos for dinner by himself for the first time. I’m trying not to hover. Encouraging my kids to cook has been one of my projects over the last few years.

It's not ranch dressing though! It's ranch seasoning and cream cheese.

If it makes you feel any better (it won't), it was over 100 today and supposed to get up to 106 tomorrow in Salem, OR. This is ridiculous. It's not humid, though, and it cools down at night.

I initially mainly followed a few friends from the other site and a bunch of legal commentators. But I kept seeing your posts pop up (thanks to @thekenchilds.com) and following you has brought so much happiness to my timeline. Appreciate you and what you do.

Would a statement from the “White House physician” that Biden is perhaps the healthiest president in history, and that he’s built like a linebacker do the trick? And would you not then elect that physician to Congress? No? I don’t get it.

Ha! If you grew up in Salem, you're probably right. He practiced here for ~40 years before he finally fully retired a couple years ago. Growing up, it was almost impossible to go out to a family dinner without someone coming up to our table to say hi to him.

I saved the liquid from the sous vide step to help season the fried rice. It’s one of those dishes that came out EXACTLY the way I had hoped.

My older son's bar mitzvah was during COVID lockdown times, right as restrictions were starting to get eased a tiny bit. We were allowed to serve food inside but everyone had to eat outside. It was 115F that day, and with the tents and fans we all survived with no heat strokes to be seen.

Brisket has moved from sous vide to fridge and now to oven for the final 2 hours of torturing us with amazing smells before resting and eating. Survived a membership meeting that I ran at my synagogue, taking my older son on a drive to the coast and back later to get him more drive time.

Another vote for Thanksgiving leftovers. The more of them you can cram onto a sandwich, the more points you get.
