I was craving some beets the other day and had the fantastic idea of making a beet pie. I managed to find this recipe on the internet and decided to try it out, or at least a variant thereof.

Onward, to pictures!

So! There’s this thing I got tagged by Jeanette Bennett, a.k.a. Scablander to do, which basically is one of those “list X things and then fill in the numbers in the questions below with the matching item” things. This one in particular is for various characters of various media.
I’ve linked the characters who [...]

I was digging through my Google Docs files the other day and came across some writing projects I’d begun and pushed aside (for whatever reason). In particular, I came across the prologue to a set of serial shorts that I had been planning on writing. Ah, that project. The idea started out [...]
