Mouth Powers
- tonight I am MAKING BROWNIES

Mouth Powers
- in the building freecycle I found an ADORABLE set of nested hedgehog measuring cups right after falling in LOVE with super expensive vintage nested hedgehog ashtrays
Mouth Powers
but these are useful, dishwasher safe, and even cuter
skipthedemon
This is a good think to do. I would love pictures of the measuring cups.
Jay

Jay
I, too, would like hedgie pictures
Mouth Powers
Mrs Sheepie
my only gripe is what a pain they'd be to level off
Mrs Sheepie
but they're SO cute
Jay

skipthedemon
Oh my goodness! I also question how usuable they are but WHO CARES
Jay
fine for liquids, tho
Mouth Powers
I do have a regular measuring cup for powders but these can be for water/oil/etc
Mouth Powers
I was coming home in such a low mood and then Zack made me
Mouth Powers
the best sandwich I've ever had
Mouth Powers
oh my god
Mouth Powers
it was kind of a chicken club but with blitzed shitake mushrooms mixed into avocado
Mouth Powers
and fresh bacon and ermenthal and the whole thing grilled in the bacon fat
Mouth Powers
and almond flour crispies on the chicken
Mouth Powers

Mouth Powers
it was a religious experience

Mouth Powers
also one of my students has been really resisting writing for MONTHS
Mouth Powers
and today I GOT EM
Mouth Powers
I wrote a little story about a reckless monkey in front of him, taking his suggestion, but giving it DRAMA and WHIMSY and afterward he was like "i'm a little jealous"
Mouth Powers
and I was like, well, I've been writing almost every day for twelve years
Mouth Powers
"I haven't been ALIVE for twelve years"
Mouth Powers
"yeah! and you're so smart, you ask good questions and you think about important things, so I know that you could be a really good writer if you practice. that's why we try to make you write a little every day in tutoring."
Mouth Powers
and he was like
Mouth Powers
SERIOUS FACE
Mouth Powers
"can I do one that's kind of like yours?"
Mouth Powers
and I said sure
Mouth Powers
and then he did 20 minutes of silent freewriting a story about a show-off bird who gets herself in trouble
Mouth Powers
it was so cute and good and it was IN IT
Mouth Powers
anyway. GOT EM. :3
skipthedemon
This made me smile. Like. REally
This made me smile. Like. REally
Mouth Powers
also the bit where I was like "so if you practice every day, you could totally write a story as good as me" and he did NOT miss a beat saying "maybe better"
Mouth Powers
