Microwaved. One of those frozen pouches. It has a butter sauce.
The microwave seems like it would be the worst possible way to cook Brussels sprouts.

Ever tried roasting them? Until the outside is almost carmelized? I toss them in olive oil and roast for 20-30 minutes, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese and drizzle some balsamic vinegar on them. Very good. Makes the whole house stink though. Not as bad as microwaved, imo.

It was a āI should eat something but donāt feel like anythingā dinner of microwaved Brussel sprouts, a Reeseās peanut butter cup, and vodka. Clearly winning at adulting.

Theyāre not bad:
Maybe I should make brownies to cover up the Brussel sprouts smell.

I have pre-pandemic gum in my cabinet.
Box brownies are awesome. Few ingredients to add, no mixer needed, it all gets dumped into a pan.

Are you the responsible adult at home? Is JFGW at work?

Whoever said that you shouldnāt make brownies in a glass pan must not have a counter surfing dog because glass pans are the best to foil that, since it comes with a lid.

The dog is supervising the inside of her eyelids.
Despite my car being set to English, it displayed everything in German briefly tonight.

Is that your fun way of referring to one of those rare events when, once or twice a year, English & German briefly coincide?
We donāt talk enough about personal disappointments. I donāt think most people even know how to talk about them. Not getting in, not having it work out, not going as hoped.

Wanna go outside???
Are you hungry???
Wanna go for a walk???
The only one I ever get push back on is outside. She says no by turning around and walking a few steps away from me before turning right back around and bugging me again. Then I know itās play or walk time.
Nope. It was displaying things in German. I went to the āsettingsā menu, to ālanguage,ā and it was set to English. Uhhhhh, ok. I clicked the ābackā button and it snapped back to normal.
Questions like:
Are you a good girl?
Do you have black fur?
Is your nose wet?
Do you like belly rubs?
Who knows how to sit?
Food, play, and outside need no invitation.
