The Christina Tosi one is my favorite!

Vegetarian “pot pie”: Essentially veggie stew with feta scallion biscuits baked right on top. Genius! Recipe from annies-eats.com.

She knew Amanda didn’t run away on April 21, 2003. No teenager would leave $100 on her dresser. No teenager would leave without taking her phone charger. No teenager would leave the day before her 17th birthday party. No teenager would run away wearing a Burger King uniform.

This story is so good. I can’t stop reading stories about the missing girls today. It’s fascinating and so sad. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has some great reads today.

I normally eschew one-use kitchen appliances/gadgets, but when I saw this mini doughnut maker on clearance for $8, I figured why not. Test run: chocolate espresso doughnuts that only took 10 to make because they bake in about two minutes in this thing.

Super rich #homemade fudge #brownies with peanut butter frosting and sea salt. Like a peanut butter cup, but better! #baking #mykitchen

Clorox wipes, red Sharpie and The Amazing Race - all essential to surviving a #Sunday night at #work. (There is a burrito on the left side of my desk, also crucial.)

Poor little guy has also developed a bad cold and refuses to do anything but sleep by my side. I will have to force-feed him via syringe if he doesn’t start eating today.

Man on lawnmower charged with drunken driving in Bloomfield Twp. | The Detroit News
At least he wasn’t driving on the road?
Bloomfield Township — Pull it over, blade runner.
Authorities have arraigned a 47-year-old township man with felony drunken driving after police stopped him while he was cruising on a riding lawn mower.
Authorities say Roy Walton was allegedly intoxicated while riding his mower on a sidewalk in front of a Rite Aid on March 22.
The arresting officers were on routine patrol when they noticed the mower parked outside of the store, located at Woodward Avenue and Square Lake Road, at about 9:50 p.m.
Police waited and watched as Walton left the store, powered up the mower and rolled away.
After stopping Walton, police determined he was intoxicated, arrested him and impounded the mower. According to police, Walton was charged with a felony because of prior drunken driving convictions.
Walton was released on a $25,000 personal bond.
The case is under review by the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.
I like a lot of stuff, including but not limited to words, sarcasm, news, pop culture, bright colors, music, design, baking, books, Detroit, DIY.
