It was predicted over and over that climate change would push food prices sky high. No one ever mentioned greedflation and the petrol billionaires trying to thwart the energy transition. Anyway, here's my vegetarian lunch for the week. Its cheap and yum and I should have shifted my diet years ago.

Ive moved to vegetarian lunches lately. Theyre cheaper and honestly just nice and light. I made this tomato soup from scratch and its really tasty with the chiffonade basil and a whole wheat scone.

This is our cat Frank. Frank's a girl and she likes food. Whats your cat's name?

Couldn't get ingredients for tomato basil soup today but peppers were on sale and I had lots of cilantro, so I came up with a mexi-version of roasted red pepper soup with cumin, smoked paprika, corn and chopped cilantro added after it was off the heat. Its sweet and smoky and tangy too.

He's not usually that into current events but Carney's speech has sucked him in.

Here's a bit of good news to interupt your nightly doom scroll. Our committee held a bake sale to benefit local families in need last weekend. We got soooo many donations from the community that we raised over $2000. People are essentially good.

When life threatens to overwhelm you, just look at pictures of cats on the interwebs. Here's one of our beautiful girl, Frank. Keep going. You got this.

We just went to Buschart Gardens, Victoria BC. This section is called the sunken garden and was established in an old quarry. Stunning!

Spending our vacation in Victoria. What a great town! Supporting Canadians is easy when the vibes are so positive. 🇨🇦

Okay, Ill be the petty nerd to ask: what's up with Poilievre's liberal riding slayer, Bruce's nose this morning? I'm not going to lie. I hope he fought someone. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social

UCP cut benefits for youth caregivers. This will hurt so many people. Sickening.

About a year ago. She's positively giddy with these ideologues.

Premier Smith in the company of Albertan law students vs a known media mogul felon, an ideologue with ties to Trump, and, well, Tucker Carlson. Who do you think this woman serves? The people of Alberta?

I feel overwhelmed by the prospect of losing everything that generations of Canadians have built, so... I made muffins. The value of familiarity and routine in troubled times cannot be overstated. Plus, now I have muffins!

Getting off the doom-scroll-er-coaster and making food helps with the existential crisis. Momentarily.

In such trying times, we must share a blanket on the couch without malice. We must not irritate one another by flicking our neighbour with our tails.

So, like, you guys all knew about this and no one told me?

Frank thinks professional sports are just another exploitative, divisive, money-making scheme dressed up as something that brings people together. She has a lot of unpopular opinions. #blueskycats

Frank: wait, what's going on now?!
