I need to watch some comfort tv.

The news is getting more depressing by the day. I'm thinking of rewatching "Anne with an E," "All Creatures Great & Small" and maybe some MST3K!

No contest between listening to US news and looking at Hyun Bin, Hou Minghao, and Wang Yibo.

Found a “guinea pig” recipe (a new recipe that I try and my family are the Guinea pigs) for Mounds Bar cake. I put in a couple of movies to watch while I was baking. “ It’s Complicated” w Meryl Streep and Steve Martin, and the original “Parent Trap” w Hayley Mills. It was soothing-and the cake turned out pretty good, too.

I kept passing by Anne with an E for quite awhile, but when I started watching it I was hooked. All Creatures Great & Small is incredible. Like others on here, I have been searching out the feel good shows. In the mornings I refuse to turn on the news so I go on Tubi and watch British gardening shows.
