As per usual making a baked good this week. Do my standard chocolate chip recipe or do I switch to a new one?

Me moving to Mastadon is some serious Summer of Morbius Energy

The mysteries arent even that clever? With one exception (twelve clues of christmas) i figured out the path of the story pretty quick

Yet I read these books and enjoy them? Maybe ai just like the adventure book quality?!

Also the hatred for Wallace Simpson gets trite by like page 5

Girl in Book 3 you found out there was a massive conspiracy (that succeeded) to dethrone the rightful king and you just accepted it

The royalist politics do annoy me because Georgie constantly sees what utter buffoons qnd hypocrisy laden twerps the aristocracy is but she keeps leaning back to the sentimentality of "theyll do the right thing"

At the same time... Darcy O'mara the love interest is very flat to me. Georgie is also super judgey and that gets kind of grating to have her be the moral center. Again with Queenie... girl she saved your life three times and helped you kill a vampire. Stop calling her hopeless and a bad maid?!

Also yeah its fun that the series has vampires, ghosts, the lochness monster, and witches as real things that impact the plot but arent central. Georgie grew up with ghosts and is comfortable with them

Also Queenie the Maid has good comedic energy when used right in the book.

Though honestly Georgie should recognize Queenie's loyalty is worth a great deal no matter how often she accudentally lights things on fire or destroys things by accident

I do like that overall the series is about Georgir asserting herself. We start with her not knowing how to care for herself or work and several books later she is actually self sufficent (mostly)

I know the Royal Spyness series is shouldnt be one I like but Daisy Dahrymple books are done and I like "mysteries in the 1920s to 1930s" aestherics

I mean it has some good parts just... not a ran of the royalist politics? But thats in the title so I am to blame

Alright lets try this again

I really should do more with this account

Home made whipped cream for my cocoa

Made home made whipped cream to go in my hot cocoa for the longest night of the year #classyboggan

Two loaves of pumpernickle this week so far and tomorrow i start the sticky buns that take three days to make, pecan tartlettes, and then short bread cookies after the holiday

Really need to get back on here

I need to stop driving down san Mateo between central and lomas

Had to drive by a crowd of antichoicers while running errands. Full on making my blood boil these days
