Chef Sarah

I have started getting Hello Fresh deliveries every week, and I'm really enjoying it! I'm doing it to help out my mom with the cooking, but it's also been great in helping me build my confidence in the kitchen (recent cornbread fire notwithstanding). Almost everything I have made I would make again, and my mom, a fairly critical cook, approved as well. And no salmonella so far!

Mood

I love you, Paul Rudd

One Day More

This election may just kill me. 

A. I truly do not understand how it could possibly be this close

2. The threat of violence is terrifying and insane

F. If Trump wins I am seriously moving to another country. (When they let us in)

Thank god Hallmark Channel is already airing Christmas movies. They soothe me.

En fuego

Last night I was on a work call around 5pm and my mom was feeding dinner to the kids. All of a sudden, I could hear the smoke alarm going off. Didn't think much of it, but then heard another one so I flipped off my webcam (I was on mute) and went to investigate. Poor Georgie was flipping out, and my mom didn't understand why the alarms were going off. I opened the oven, and the cornbread was on fire. Like legit ON FIRE. My mom said it would just burn off, but I checked it again and nope. So we got out the fire extinguisher and put that bad boy out. (Who knew what a HUGE mess that makes!! It looks post-apocalyptic in there!) My kid may be scarred for life (she is still talking about the "fire"), but at least the house didn't burn down. Sheesh.

A new record

I usually hold off on Christmas music until after Halloween (sorry, Thanksgiving), but Georgie is obsessed with Jingle Bells and plays it on repeat all day. So it's kind of like working retail over the holidays. Yay?

Yasss new neighbors

Our new next-door neighbors (who we have yet to meet) have a Biden sign in their yard. So that makes three Biden signs on our block and two Trump signs. I'll take those odds...
