A little midwinter food porn: frosted buttermilk brownies. 😋 (NB: Half of this is going in the freezer if I can make room.)

I went to a large queer meetup tonight at a Pgh bar I've been to a few times. In the past, I was pretty comfortable at such things as long as I knew at least 1-2 people, and I'd been looking forward to tonight, but I felt really overwhelmed and left after about 90 minutes with (what I presume was) a stress headache. I'm coming to recognize what a toll the isolation of the pandemic took on me, but I don't really know what to do about it beyond continuing to reacclimate myself to being in crowds.

A new pie with an interesting-ish origin story. I baked a pumpkin pie back in early December, and had a cup-plus of filling that didn't fit into the pie shell. So I froze it. Late last week, I bought a butternut squash, and boiled and mashed a bit of it to make up the difference for this pie. I blended the old and new filling and baked the hybrid monster last night. Since a cup-plus of squash cubes turned into a half cup of mashed squash, and the recipe I was working with was for two cups of pumpkin/squash, I had some interesting conversions to calculate. Most notably, what does 1/4 of 1/8 -- 1/32 -- tsp of ground cloves look like? My best guesstimate was a generous pinch. Anyway, the finished product certainly smelled tasty when it emerged from the oven.

I recently ordered a record from a seller in Quebec (Amon Düül II's Wolf City for those keeping score at home), and it arrived yesterday in a spacious box. Great, I thought to myself, plenty of padding to withstand the vagaries of international shipping. I didn't realize what kind of box it was until I opened it...
