We had 59 kids, which is slightly above average for us, but that's not surprising considering it was a Saturday night and the weather was amazing. We prep for 50-60 usually and we had just enough candy to make it through.

I was hoping for a rebound after it absolutely poured last year and we only had 13 kids.

Witch for all the kids coming by (we had 59 so far this year!). No dress for me as it's really cold 🥶 (maybe I could have done Elsa if I wanted to dye my hair 🤣)

Sad, yes, but not as sad as if I'd just broken my mother's china

The peppers and onions were sauteed first in the same pan! This was the first time I've not used a non-stick pan for the quesadilla portion so I was a little concerned but wanted a pan that would fit the whole tortilla in it without curling. That meant I used plenty of butter in the remnants of the peppers and onions in order to get a nice fried edge.

My technique with single tortilla quesadillas is to get an edge on the side of the tortilla that is going to be the inside first, so you butter both sides, let one fry very slightly (which can cause the tortilla to bubble a bit), then flip, load up with cheese and toppings (cheese both sides because it's the glue that keeps everything in), and then close as the last step (no flipping needed once closed if you time everything right and have the heat level just right).

Alternatively if you want less butter you can throw everything together on your tortilla and put it in a toaster oven or convection oven for a few minutes. Keep an eye on it because it'll only be in the perfect state for a very short time window. That's my lazy/healthy recipe, but a little bit of butter and pan frying truly does make everything taste better.

The black beans were the lazy ingredient as they were just out of a can and rinsed, with nothing else done to them before going in to warm up.

Thanks for the tips!

We have both colors in this pattern and then some of the black modern ones that are almost patternless! They're good, cheap, reliable plates. And if you break one you're not going to be terribly upset about it.

It's a good knife set. I made a mistake and was a salesman in their pyramid for a summer in college, made a little bit of money, got my knife set at the end.

2014. I swear I had older memes but they must have gotten lost at some point.

I love everything about this photo. You're awesome and brave for posting. Keep being awesome and yourself as you're uniquely you! 💖

I like your hair and your plants. And everything else about your post, but those are what grabbed my attention first.

I used to play tf2 back when I was in college, although not to the level of my friend who played competitive 6s for some time. I was best at medic and demo, which is probably why to this day (although I stopped playing when ow2 came out) my most comfortable overwatch heroes were mercy and junkrat.

My SO and I occasionally play Stardew together, and I want to play it in an archipelago game at some point, but might try one solo first to get a feel for how the game plays randomized.

Holy shit you're literally me but you've figured out skirts and tops 💖

I still have scarring from the severe acne I had as a teen and it makes it really hard to wear clothes that expose my shoulders, so I totally feel you. Although I am far more confident in a dress now than I ever was in a man's bathing suit!

I will say though that from these photos you can't really tell - you're looking quite good! (Even if you think you're cheating with the angles or lighting!)
