Another 5.4.earthquake. And a shaker. I was putting something in the fridge when I noticed bottles rattling. Google's earthquake alerts are spot.on.

By the way, I recommend that Invisible apple cake. Not too sweet and kind of like an apple custard. Once you chill it and remove it from the parchment paper, it looks really nice, too. A lot lighter than apple pie

Hope you all are having a good Christmas and/or happy Hanukkah. I made it through, no explosions. And I'm glad it's over.

It's 6:20. Someone who was supposed to be here at 5 so we could have an early dinner so he could go to family get together afterwards has just gotten an Uber. And it'll probably take him an hour to get here. Knowing he's on latin time I timed things to be late but the turkey was done 30 minutes ago.

My mood right now is reminiscent of my mother trying to pull things together for Christmas Eve dinner and just as she was about to explode, someone would hand her an oversized Manhattan. Except I can't have a Manhattan so I ate 2 cookies and fuck company.

The most wonderful time of the year!

I was on my phone and got an alert from Google saying there was a 5.3 earthquake nearby and I might feel some shaking and 5 seconds later I felt it! Thanks for the warning Google!

I've felt more earthquakes here than I ever felt living in L.A.

Yes, I read one recipe that said you could switch them out as long as the pears were still on the firm side. It was pretty easy to put together. I used a mandolin to keep the slices paper thin.

I made this Invisible Apple Cake after seeing it online. It's a half dozen apples sliced really thin and baked in something akin to a pancake batter. You coat all the apples in the batter and then smush them into a loaf pan and bake. And because the apples are so thin, they sort of melt into the batter (but not really), thus the name.

If I got locked out I would have to call the landlord in Miami who would then have to call a cousin who lives here but about 45 minutes away to come with spare keys. So I hid a set in the cable/utility room on our floor.

Remove the word surf and everything after the comma and I'm totally with you.

Ah, the most wonderful time of the year. So far we've had several emotional meltdowns, we're Christmas broke and can I just be honest and say I'd rather cancel Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow? No one is in a good mood and I'd rather sit in bed and watch old movies. And smoke weed all day.

The Medellin-based soccer team won the big final yesterday and the entire city went nuts with fireworks. Some idiot decided he needed to light some from the traffic circle below my bedroom and they literally exploded near my window. I don't think I've ever seen fireworks at eye level and so close. Oh and this was at 1:30, 2 and 2:30 in the morning. Curly was not at all happy. Neither was I.
