I don't post much publicly, primarily because a lot of what I post has to do with my work/clients, and that's not a thing I discuss where Google can find it. But there's nothing in this post that can't be posted where search engines can find it, so:

• I would like to be writing something. What, I'm not sure, but I am going to get something posted to Teaspoon or AO3 before the end of the year, dammit.


• Cooking! There's lots of that right now! Currently on the stove: waaaaay too much posole verde made with the St. Louis ribs we got from the fancypants butcher that someone to whom I'm married disappointingly refuses to eat as ribs, but will eat if stewed, so anyway, ribs + all the remaining green tomatoes from the garden + non-Goya hominy = posole verde.


• Also on the cooking front: Melissa Clark's gâteau Breton with fresh plums and cardamom from her book Dinner in French, because the CSA gave us fresh damson plums this week, and why the hell not? I'm not convinced this is going to turn out well – there was definitely some butter leakage from the springform pan (glad I put it on a foil-covered baking sheet!), and the recipe took a solid 30 minutes more than Clark specified. But I feel like with these ingredients, it's hard to go wrong, so we'll see.


• I don't normally turn over the garden on October 29, but I'm putting winter rye in for the first time as a nutrient-rich cover crop. Good for my garden, bad for my lower back, lol, but:


• Cortisone shot time on Tuesday for the lower back. This is my fourth one, but because these are related to disc issues and not joint ones, my spine guy has said I can have them for quite a while longer.


• Still, it would be nice to not have to have them at all.


• Or to be "I have a spine guy" years old.


• Anyway, still here, still on Twitter at @nonelvispub if you want to follow the public account, still planning on making that shithead's life hell in whatever small way I can now that he's bought Twitter.

Braised ribs: galbi? Maangchi's got a great recipe.

I have both of her cookbooks, so I'm sure I have the recipe somewhere – I'm just the only person in the house who enjoys meat on the bone, alas.
