My mother has some small ones of these they still use for soup bowls. Maybe a larger one, too.
Somewhere recently I saw you could buy a tshirt with this on it.

Color snapshot of a woman holding a white Corningware baking dish with its cornflower decoration on it; she's wearing white shorts and below the leg of the shorts, the same design is visible as a blue tattooo on her leg.

"My Grandmother made me her AMAZING banana pudding in this exact old Corningware dish a million times growing up. For birthdays, holidays, just because days and any time I asked for it - this dish would be waiting for me filled with the best banana pudding in the world."

There was a time when owning one of the little Corningware teapots defined my home sense.

My previous prep was prophetic (or maybe I'm too adhd or autistic and the pattern recognition was off the charts).
Maybe I'll write something about it in the near future here https://sometimes.email but email only, no web archives, no rss. Doing ok but no idea what I'm going to do next.

/notliked. I wish you some rest, healing , and new adventures soon!
Sending you luck with figuring out whatever that next thing is.
No idea what's next is a common place to be these days. And yes, write the thing.

We’ve been playing Asbury Undergound for maybe 10 years now. This year we played a set just before a long time friend Rick Barry who’s new project, Church and State TM, happens to have Jon Stewart as their, functional if not impressive, drummer. After our set I went back to the green room to put my trombone away and a man, whom I’ve respected for years, reached out and shook my hand and said “You guys were fucking awesome!” So I’ve got that going for me…
What a nice experience
I definitely read that in his voice.
Amazing!

Shepherds pie on a stove top
Lamb shepherd's pie with a ton of veg.
Second shepherd's pie I've ever made. Last one I made was when my dad was dying. It was amazing. We invited the visiting nurse to help herself. She loved it. I told her to take the rest home to her family and she didn't say another word and grabbed the pan.
Fun fact: this has dairy and gluten, so the whole is going in my belly. Just not tonight.

phone pic of two large eyed cats in a basement window of a brick apartment building, looking straight at the camera. the cat on the left is grey striped and smaller; the cat on the right is orange and round-faced. behind them are closed blinds. a desolate assed yard and the reflection of the photographer, an even more desolate assed human, can be seen
two new windows creepers in my building this evening, making *serious* eye contact, plus some asshole in a patagonia cap

Great shot!
Meanwhile the homeowner is inside looking out. Nice image, reflections and shadows, the full picture.
This picture is fantastic! I especially like the way the reflection is doubled by the glass and split by the blinds.
When Things Were Rotten

Television cast photo of a Robin Hood parody
In 1975 Mel Brooks' "When Things Were Rotten" brought his freewheeling style to television. America wasn't ready and the constraints put on him by the network didn't really help him.
Quickly cancelled but to a kid who wasn't allowed to watch his films, it was a lifeline and a hint of what was to come

TIL that this existed 😮
Gentlemen, hold your tongues!
I remember watching this! My dad was a huge Mel Brooks fan and even though he wasn't into medieval period stories he watched it with us kids because it was a Mel Brooks joint therefore it was must-see TV.

I'm pretty sure I've told this story around these parts before...
When I moved to MV in 2001 I lived for a few months at the home of my boss and his wife, who happened to be the sister of Daphne seen above. A few weeks after I arrived I was coming in from the outdoor shower wrapped in a towel and there in the kitchen of the house was Princess Vespa. She was super nice. 😊

my youngest brother's wedding was last weekend, indeed a familial stressfest on all ends, but also lovely in a few fleeting moments.
both of my younger brothers have sons, born only about a month apart, who never got to meet each other until that weekend. they were hamming it up the whole time and i was there to delight in it.

These are excellent portraits!
Love to know where on earth there are mansard roofs like that. Got to be a university campus ...
@nikkuneko It is times like these that start to make the stress, of all the other times, just a bit more bearable.
My children and grandchildren bring me joy that I did not expect when I was smashing away down the salt mine.
