And that's okay, because there's a bin of arugula, some questionable pine nuts from last spring, good olive oil, a block of gruyere, and too many lemons. We've got a blender thingy. I've got taste buds. So why not?
Turns out you can throw things into the blender thingy and you've got "free" pesto.
Bless being culinarily competent.

My mom did it once when she realized she didn’t have enough basil and it was a revelation.
I do too did this the last night when I realized I also did not have enough basil. I will never remember to buy enough basil again.

A cookie that's measurements are easy, but steps are attention-seeking. Browning the butter so much that you might burn it if you're not attentive. Cooling said browned butter. Thoughtful incorporation of dry and wet ingredients. Then a 24 hour wait time! Worth it and a way to trick the brain into getting a dopamine hit from patience. Look how good and patient I was! And then you are rewarded with a Very Good cookie.

Easy to throw on, especially for PM being a cozy Halloween movie when everyone wants me to watch Hellraiser (which is also good, but not comforting).
