Not sure where you are, but when I was summoned, there was mention of parking vouchers. I didnβt get selected, so I didnβt look any further into it.
Behold! Ninja turtle meatball soup (No actual ninja turtles were harmed in the making of this soup). Itβs what happens when the CSA folk give you escarole and purple potatoes in the same box. And you were in an Italian wedding soup kind of mood. π½οΈ

Serious question: if you spotted nail fungus on an elderly individual you care for, would you:

Look at this handsome young man I get to spend the weekend with! He loves all the treats, squeaky toys, protecting the neighborhood, kisses, and cuddles. And yβall, he available! You should definitely consider adopting him!
I am about to drop some knowledge. The way you make a X when you assemble furniture matters. Not sure if everyone already knew that, but if you didnβt, youβre welcome.
(For context, I thought I had a shitty dining table, but itβs not. It was just assembled incorrectly.)
Went out of order and messed up the pao de queijo recipe. But on the plus side, I discovered it also makes delicious gluten free pizza crust!

Zizi the foster dog lying on the floor

Itβs not even 830, and Ziziπ» and I are already in bed. π€£
Everyone, meet Ziziπ»! Sheβs my newest foster from Forgotten Dogs Rescue. We are going to work on her dog reactivity and build her confidence so she can go on walkies and sniff all the things!
