  • roses

    Roses at my Brooklyn house.

    I’ve never previously been able to keep any sort of plant alive. This garden thrives regardless of any effort on my part.

  • garden

    The garden is officially free of poison ivy!

    Next week: building boxes and moving plants around. Which is probably called landscaping.

    It’s like I’m a real grownup or something.

  • pickles

    I don’t find cooking difficult. I just find it tedious.

    That however is no excuse for, well, anything.

    My irritable but diligent attempts to make coeliac safe pickles, kimchi, and ramen were definitely successful.

  • bread

    My first attempt at baking gluten free bread.

    Easier than expected– baking is more like a fun science experiment than a boring household chore. Also: gluten free bread! And it tastes… like bread! I haven’t had bread in months!

  • cooking

    While the coeliac diagnosis is not surprising, it is wildly annoying.

    I can’t think of anything I hate more than cooking. Yet here I am, learning how to cook, not just in general terms but from first principles.

    Heavy sigh.
