We made pizza last night! I call it the Millennial Falcon. Worried that our dinner party is going to get snowed out on Saturday.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own

Pondering food upon seeing the pizza. I'm not hungry but my mouth is, annoyingly.

The kitten is curled up on the blanket again, but only after twin went back to bed.

Kitten does not trust twin despite twin living here longer than kitten. Kitten is very very silly.

I barely forced myself out of bed but I did it!

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I made it out, then back in, then out and now back in. Once the evil lotion dries it's back out.

That looks really good. It makes me want homemade pizza but I don't have the ingredients and I'm stuck home with the flu.

Ugh I am trying to avoid the flu. But I have to go to the store today. We're trying to keep the ingredients on hand, the big challenge for me is making sure I have the dough ready.
