What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Happy FriYAY! And Happy Passover & Easter Weekend! This week really flew by again. We're hosting Easter for family this weekend for a small group--my parents, Grim's daughter and brother and maybe his SIL. Grim always makes the main dishes, and usually I go all out with fancy appetizers and desserts, but there are always so many leftovers that I decided it's just a waste, so I am keeping everything super simple for once :)
Pics of the week are cookies, of course... Some of my Easter cookies, and an instagram story from someone who came to one of my classes. This was her first time decorating!
QOTD: Hit us with your book / tv / podcast / movie recommendations. We finished Night Agent on Netflix and it was great. It reminded me of the first season of 24. I binged a podcast called Queen of the Con, and it wasn't very well done, but the story was interesting. And I am reading The Great Bridge by David McCoullough about the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm looking for some good fiction recommendations! Whatcha got?

Good Friday morning QJB and menuers!
JB, your cookies are always super cute...I don't understand how anyone could want to eat them! Glad you had lots of Easter orders. Sounds like a great family gathering this weekend! Hope it goes well.
QOTD- I've been slowly working through a book called The Gift of Fear that my therapist recommended. It does makes me appreciate my decades of unapologetically listening to my intuition, so to speak. Don't remember the author, sorry. I haven't found much on Netflix these days.
Have a few meetings today and I'm working from home. I was pretty grateful yesterday when my last meeting requested to be rescheduled. Maybe a slow day if people try to wander out early.
Pics are of my dog's version of laser stare when dinner is two minutes late and one of the low water bridges around here.
More protein shakes today! Cheers, everyone!

Yes! Hope your cat accepts it. Decades ago when I had a cat we got a newfangled water fountain with fancy filters so they had fresh water. Cat was only interested in chewing through the cord to destroy it immediately.

Oh boy, that sounds a bit scarier! I just get bathed in the disappointed looks. That's bad enough but I can't imagine plus menace!
