trying to figure out what I'm even doing here. this'll probably be a mix of plants, cats, bikes, and music. dervish-y things too from time to time. on Mastodon too jasonfbennett@triangletoot.party, though there's not much going on over there.
ride along the American Tobacco Trail to the county line: sun king goes under the knife.
This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.
Hm...is it native? I had no idea. I remembered a recipe book (Diana Morgan) on various roots mentioning salsify. Attaching some clippings.
My wife and I decided that many places are judged on their summers, but North Carolina is best in early spring. Probably a statement on our preferred temperature - today was perfect.
When you have a federal administration behaving this way towards its citizens, I definitely think Flock cameras are a bad idea. deflock.me
This week was my first time, after watching Sohla and Ham's video. They're not my favorite "cookie" to make (yet), but so easy and forgiving!
Claire Saffitz's Creme Caramel. Surprisingly easy, and simple enough to justify using the whole vanilla bean in the pantry.
Devastation my door was left open wide You brought me into your heart, then you swallowed my pride. I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts I made a note to myself, i nearly forgot.
I always felt Redford could play gravitas with his eyes closed. Condor or Brubaker for that. I wish he could have played his comic roles more against type like Bruce Willis, goofy and cringe. For that reason, A Walk in the Woods is underrated. Choose Sneakers if you want a more ensemble cast.
Challenge, post your last photo of DC to show what a hellhole it is. This Monstera burrito was amazing and halal, the espresso from there was also top notch. The only thing I was afraid of was running out of water on the C&O trail. Seriously, get those pumps certified for drinking.
HankG just did a bit on skeptical hedonism ostensibly about seatbelts, but the current administration elected by our country has this idea as its defining mission. Seatbelt skepticism also explains the decadence of tariffs. youtu.be/FRjGhCQi4U8?...
I was a big fan of the Pacific Coast irises when I lived in Seattle. Not sure they'd do very well here in NC. www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/inde...
I love sunsets. Tonight was deep and punch drunk with color. I really like how they're emergent. After watching the fading light for a half hour, my wife bounded into the kitchen exclaiming its virtues. I looked again, stunned at how the deep wine colors popped. Five minutes later, it was gone.
