February 21, 2025: Moving Target

Sorry, more packaging complaints.

We don't have the fancy glass stuff, but we do utilize plastic food storage containers you can find at your local grocery store. Naturally, you have to recycle and replace some now and then, but they keep changing the shape of everything so nothing goes together in the cupboard. I suppose that encourages you to give them more of your money, but it's a pain.

February 19, 2025: Muffled

My boss gave me a nice scarf for the Holidays. I just started wearing it recently and am surprised of the difference it makes. There's only one scarf I've worn with any regularity before this, and that was one a dear friend knitted me in high school, which I wore all the time back then. The currently relapse has kept things a little cozier in these cold times.

I don't have any great suggestions, but something needs to be done about tomato paste cans. I usually only need a couple of tablespoons every few months, but those little cans it comes in have way more than that with no good way to save the rest for later uses.

Hmm, maybe there are glass jars out there with screw tops. I'll have to look for those next time. Well, thanks for solving my problem!

At The Movies: Prestige

I've been happy to see the return of Severance and White Lotus (I'm less crazy about the latter, but it's still compelling enough). Any shows back soon or recently you're wanting to see?

Oscar season was a bit delayed (twice) and is now set a couple weeks from now. Anything jump out at you this year? I think I've seen exactly one movie with any nominations this year (and just a supporting one at that), so I might not have much to add in that regard.

What's been on your screens, big or small?
