I occasionally take pictures, sometimes of cats or moss, and I spend a lot of time professionally thinking about what things mean.

An assortment of Grandma Moses cows from the Bennington Museum. #cowsatthemuseum

An absolute unit of a bull, depicted in a blocky, primitive painting style.

A few brown cows scattered on a light green field.

Some black and white cows in green grass with trees. One cow near the middle is looking you right in the eye.

Dinner (partially) from the garden — pasta with marinated tomatoes (half supermarket, half first cherry tomatoes), roasted little baby eggplant, three kinds of basil, and burrata.

A blue bowl filled with penne pasta. Green and purple leaves, red and yellow tomato halves and white blobs of cheese are liberally sprinkled throughout.

Stir fried chicken and eggplant. The eggplant is the first from the garden - a mix of kinds. Snow peas added because I like them. From a Woks of Life recipe, slightly modified.

A blue bowl with a wide rim, filled with a stir fry in a light sauce, on top of white rice.

They are ideal, particularly to the neighborhood groundhogs. Or I assume it was the groundhogs. It could’ve been bunnies.

It’s amazing what counts as “raised his sister” vs “looked after” vs “kept tabs on”. Just maintaining the relationship counts, apparently.

Beef and broccoli for dinner. First time using the fancy oyster sauce. Definitely an improvement.

A blue bowl with thin slices of beef and very green broccoli florets in a glistening sauce on top of white rice.

I had to look him up and was “oh yeah, Indiana roundabout guy” and then read this on his Wikipedia page. It’s the Christkindlmarkt that really did it.

Driving incidents
Brainard crashed city-leased vehicles several times during his tenure as mayor. In November 2002, he T-boned a school bus, which did not result in any injuries. In April 2017, he crossed the center line of a two-way road, striking a trailer being pulled behind a pick-up truck. In December 2018, Brainard was driving with movie producers filming at Carmel's Christkindlmarkt when he took a U-turn from the right lane. As his car moved into the left lane, Brainard struck the passenger side of a car traveling down the left lane.

Leftover 4th of July - grilled chicken with a barbecue rib, dill & egg potato salad, and a Caesar salad (made fresh, not leftovers).

A red plate on the right with a big piece of chicken breast and potato salad and a bowl with a white bowl full of very green salad and croutons on the left. They are on a white placemat with red stripes.

Nice mosses at the top of Mt Greylock, along with cool breezes.

If you’re looking for a summery dessert, this chocolate loaf cake with a scoop of ice cream is like a grown-up ice cream sandwich. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/choc...

Forgot to take a picture because I was too excited to eat it. Trout amandine with roasted broccoli, both recipes from ATK. And no, I didn’t eat the skin. I don’t like it.

Very browned trout fillet with sliced almonds across the top and roasted broccoli behind it.

Big salad and dinner rolls for dinner.

Um, is that proper lab protocol for this kind of pathogen testing? Seems like minimal PPE and sample contamination avoidance? But idk, haven’t been in a lab of any kind since college.

Mya Riemer@myariemer· Jun 9

This is wit withe either just a lie or dangerous ignorance. Even back in the 80s, those Very Bad I knew farms were banned from shipping milk for cheese production because their pathogen counts were too high. Because it’s dangerous!

"We have a red-flag system here, where if there's anything that gets really out of whack, they can immediately tag the milk, and it doesn't go to anything but cheese," McAfee told me. "Because, you know, cheese is resistant to pathogens."

It really is just a fetishization of violating consent.

"You must be Mark," I said, warning him I wasn't one for hugging.
"I'm a hugger," he said, pulling me in anyway.
"I feel like I've known you for a lifetime."

I was born in 1972, and my great-grandmother survived the Peshtigo Fire as a 15-month-old. Her husband’s father (my g-g-grandfather) was a Civil War vet. On the other side, my grandmother was born in 1886. Her father was born in 1837. It is shocking how close history can be.

It’s big salad season. Extra cheese because there was just a little left. Leftover teriyaki chicken from a couple of days ago.

A wide bowl filled with salad. Halved cherry tomatoes, strips of teriyaki chicken, wedges of hard cooked egg, cucumber, shredded white cheese, and croutons are visible. The bowl has a green and pink pattern.

Very bad pictures of our resident grey fox and her kit, taken from my office window.

A grey fox under an old satellite dish. She is looking at the photographer. The quality is poor. Her quality is superb.

Protip: if you see someone making a dumb comment in a thread, don’t respond, just mute them. It never fails that when I see the below and click it, I just think, “yup, correct move”.

Screenshot of “show more replies” that appears when you have muted people.

Not very good pictures of good things around the yard today. Bleeding heart, the first Columbine blossom, a ganoderma mushroom, iris.

A row of pink blossoms hanging from a light green branch, surrounded by green foliage.

A kind of blurry purple blossom in front of a very large rock with a lot of moss.

Eggplant and pork in garlic sauce for dinner. Thanks to Past Us for roasting eggplant and freezing it - came together very quick.

A blue bowl with a dark brown sauce over white rice. There are pieces of green onions, little bits of pork, and soft pieces of eggplant throughout.

I have not been keeping up with food recalls, there are a lot out there! This led me to discover this horror that rfkjr probably loves. Anyway, lots of stuff with milk powder in them!

Not just unsophisticated, but an actual child.

"We were thinking it could be nice to make that kind of a restaurant-style thing, so people can also go sit up there and eat and watch the concert," she continued. I asked her if that would distract from the music.
"It depends on the food, I think," she answered. "If it's like a big steak that you have to focus on and dig into, maybe not.
But if it's light tapas, finger food, little bites, I think then it is easier. Little grilled cheese bites could work so nicely, or chicken nuggets.

Leftover birthday cake (not mine) day is a good day.

A slice of layer cake on a blue and white patterned plate. The cake is very dark chocolate and the frosting is white a fluffy.
