Thank you. It was.

That's how it started.

It's a good thing to have but mine is quite worn and needs replaced. But, my cousin who's a chef has me wrapped things in parchment paper before going in freezer bags and that works well. I did that with turkey pot pie slices in Nov and it worked great. I ate the last one last night.

Chicken parm with homemade hand cut pasta noodles. I roasted cherry tomatoes with mushrooms and garlic. Finished in the pan with tomato paste, sardine paste, spinach and my homemade chili-garlic oil for a bit of heat. Added some of the pasta water and absolutely yum!

Yeah. They're not out brightest!

I love to cook but can't eat much. So, I eat leftovers and freeze a lot. I do eat out of the freezer a lot.

Icky here. It was a steady nonstop rain all day and it's still at it. That said. It's dumping major snow in the mountains that we really need.

I don't remember when we voted on a Wa State Constitutional amendment so that's could tax Washingtonians. Can you please remind us of when the Constitution changed. Thanks.

I like that idea! With a good book.

Yum. I have chicken parm in the oven. I roasted cherry tomatoes and mushrooms today. I'll add some spinach and other stuff for a quick sauce. Served over homemade linguine.
Right now I'm out soaking so I can be warm for the evening.

Exactly. Iran is 12,000 miles from California.

Thank you so much! This is one of the larger ones but still not big enough for a bed. Maybe as a summer foot of the bed topper, which I may do.

None of them are qualified or competent to do their jobs!

If the 34 times convicted felon is saying California is being targeted by Iran with drones, we can be assured that it's a confession. Any drones targeting Ca would be coming from the US military under his orders and blamed on Iran. I have no doubt that psychopath itches to bomb us.

I finished my mushrooms quilt last night. All but 2 of the fabrics have mushrooms. It was fun collecting the fabrics over 2 years and then making the quilt. This one is for me.

I have no doubt. IMO, he raped them and had some murdered. Just like he had Epstein murdered.

Well, to be fair, didn't they have to make cuts for lobster, crab, steak and grand pianos?

I just briefly watched a report about the TSA. It's obvious from interviews Americans are clueless about what's happening in government. They vote red or blue on election day but they see it all as government in general. The USA is so uneducated, uninformed, and uninterested. It's sad.

I have old arthritic hands so it may not be as much work for you.

Very cool. I got to watch shearing and use shears on a ewe when I was in New Zealand last year. It's a tough job if not using electric shears.

How cute! Are you raising them for the wool or as pets? I just completed this natural wool Aran afghan I knit 17 years ago!

Because it bears repeating over and over again, a criminal pedophile and his depraved rabid acolytes started a brutal war with Iran because he wanted to distract away from highly credible allegations in the Epstein Files of him raping children. Never let it be forgotten.

I visited friends on Whidbey Island today. We strolled on the beach, dined on oysters and clams and we had a visit from the resident herd.

And cut those big rounds in half with the chainsaw first.
I heated with wood for years!
