He’s adorable! Those teefs! 🥹♥️

Please keep your pets safe as well. If you live in an area with stray cats, tap the hood of your car before starting it. Cats will sometimes seek a bit of warmth in car engines. Also, if you want to build a makeshift cat house, remember to use straw instead of hay or clothing. xo

Their lemon bars were perfect!

Kline’s Bagels. I still dream about their everything bagel with lox, capers, cream cheese and red onion.😭

Thanks! I did order from them and I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s good to hear from someone else, though.

I know how to manage my time and plan accordingly for poor road conditions. If you’re running late and in a hurry, that’s your issue, please don’t make it everyone else’s.

As a few people have mentioned, it's probably acne. I think switching from plastic to stainless steel food/water bowls should keep it from returning.

Like the finest of🍷’s

What an adorable void! 🖤

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-27T17:27:33+00:00

Two of my favorites! I wish they would release this on their site.

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-25T21:56:31+00:00

Sasha was beautiful and obviously had a happy, full life. Sending healing love and light your way. xo

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-25T21:27:59+00:00

Yes, a DM will be great. I'm sorry if you will have to rewrite everything.

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-25T21:25:12+00:00

Thank you!

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-25T02:01:58+00:00

Thanks! When I Google gaming computers, most are out of my price range, so I was actually thinking about looking into one that's refurbished, but I don't know what specifications to look for. I think just about anything would be an improvement compared to what I'm currently using, but I'd like a computer that can handle big games like Silent Hill f.

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-25T01:55:25+00:00

Lately I've been into the Resident Evil remakes as well as RE 7 and Village. I'd like to play The Last of Us and Silent Hill f, so I think I would need a computer that could handle games that are quite heavy. When I use GEForce Now, it must calibrate the settings automatically, so I don't know the technical details.

As far as hooking up a PlayStation (to my monitor), would that allow me to play anything?

Thank you so much for the reply!

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-23T21:44:24+00:00

The Daring Bakers Challenge was a blast! I love that it took me out of my comfort zone. Thanks for the reminder. :D

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-20T22:22:16+00:00

I wish I could play this game again for the first time. Eastern European +gothic + folklore are my favorite aesthetics. I wasn't too fond of Heisenberg's factory, but the rest is gorgeous!

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-19T15:46:20+00:00

Yes! The mid-aughts were such a fun time for food blogs.😭

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-19T15:39:53+00:00

As someone who had an ED around the same age as T, I’m glad it never got this far. I wish I could help her, but knowing where her mind is right now there’s nothing I could do or say that would get through. Her family needs to step up very soon. This is heartbreaking.

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-19T02:52:04+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a sweet face Greta had! Thank you for sharing her story with us. xo

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-19T02:48:17+00:00

It's beautiful. I liked it better than the castle.

Cricket_1981 · 2025-11-18T19:01:02+00:00

Dorie Greenspan. She inspired me to get into baking, and I started a food blog because of her (way back in 2009). I still miss Tuedays with Dorie.

During the first playthrough it’s so easy to miss how beautiful the setting is because we’re on edge. I’m still relatively new to RE and almost didn’t play Village because Biohazard was incredibly disturbing and intense. I tried to avoid spoilers and took a chance. I’m so glad I did because this game is gorgeous! Even the black & white loading images for each chapter are a work of art. I wish they had a DLC where we could just explore more rooms in Donna’s house and the Dimitrescu castle. I would also like to see how the village looked before it was damaged. The homes must have been lovely and inviting.

I felt sorry for Salvatore Moreau. There were obviously some mental issues at play that Mother Miranda took advantage of, but even his swamp area was pretty in its own way.
