Post office bounty! Look at all these awesome holiday cards. This was the first batch I thought I’d lost, but sure enough they were on my desk at work. So what have we go?
Godzilla and King Kong in love from @kyburg, a classy hipster reindeer from @shygryf (I did wish the kitties a merry Christmas from you!), NARWHALIDAYS from @rosegoldplated, beautiful kitties from @bookfanatic, POE from Kris & Josh (I’m sorry I NEVER remember your username even though I’m fairly sure I know it -- but I did pet the kitties in your honor!) and a Teeny Tiny Penguin (definitely my penguin form!) from @sub-etheric. And there was a lovely set of cat toys and a funny kitty holiday card, which I THINK are from Gisa, but I can’t quite read the handwriting -- let me know if I’ve misread it!
I love all the cat cards and cat paraphenalia I got this year :D Cats and puns, that’s me!

Is it ancestral because you offered the donuts to your ancestors, or was the recipe just handed down from Mama Tickey or someone?
Nah, I basically made the recipe up -- really anything can be bread pudding if you have stale breadstuff (cake, croissants, bread, muffins) chopped up and mixed with eggs, dairy, a bit of fat (you can use cream instead of milk and leave the butter out) and sugar. It’s ancestral because the doughnuts were first used as ancestral offerings.

LOL! I was scrolling and saw the Ancestral Doughnut Bread Pudding before I saw this post, and all I could think was "Sam, no, if they're THAT old, don't eat them" before I remembered there will probably be a reasonable explanation further down. Feel better. Does steam help?
Ahahahaha, although I LOVE day-old Dunkies munchkins, any more than a day old and doughnuts just aren’t much good for eating.
As for steam, it doesn’t seem to, although warm beverage seems to a little.

Jeebus, Sam. Hi, the antibiotic should help in three days or less - if not, get rechecked and switched. And pain meds. You got meds for pain right?
No, you gotta be actively screaming in pain to get prescription pain medication out of a doctor anymore. But the Sudafed has OTC pain medication, and I’m still allowed to take Nyquil so I can sleep.

what are stale doughnuts?
Oh, just day-old doughnuts, like from Dunkin or Tim Hortons or Krispy Kreme. Donuts I suppose is the more known spelling, I don’t mean anything special. I got half a dozen -- a couple of plain glazed, a pumpkin cake, a chocolate iced, and an orange iced.

Oh man, with day-old cider doughnuts…!

Imma try that with some Round Rock donuts.
I do recommend if the doughnuts aren’t frosted, add some sugar to the egg-milk mixture. I just plain didn’t remember to, and then I thought “This...does not need more sugar.” :D

I have been kyburg since 1987? Is that longer than you've been alive? ;)
Not quite! I was eight! But I would not have been able to receive email from you. :D

kyburg replied to your post: hi sam! with the recent discussions about writing...
I’d also note that you grew up in Texas, right? There is a huge cultural piece to that associated with Christianity that is toxic AF. Also with little in common with the faith in practice, neh?
Nooooo no -- I mean, you’re not wrong about Texas, but my family didn’t move to Texas until after I was an adult. My stepfather is the only native Texan of the family :) As a teen, I was confirmed in a super hippy-dippy Methodist church in California.
