I *know* Google is spying on me via my android. My husband & I had an obscure convo about castor oil & my feed was suddenly filled with stories & ads for...you guessed it! The only solution is to turn off the phone which, of course, defeats the purpose of having one.

Undoubtedly, Covid & Flu vaccinations have saved millions of lives by mitigating the severity of infections, vastly decreasing hospitalizations and minimizing deaths. The proof is in the data.

I'm making serious vaccine decisions in light of the fact I don't qualify for Medicare until next month. Got the flu covered out of pocket, but Covid, pneumonia & RSV are a whole 'nother story.

I'm also an aspiring vegan/vegetarian who reluctantly eats animal protein for dietary necessity. I'm a huge Frances Moore Lappé fan & want to hear your secrets for non-animal nutrition.

Grind them up a bit & put 'em atop your homemade Mac & cheese or any other casserole. Follow me for more alt-baking tips! (I'm always looking for the tastiest, healthiest & cheapest options for our daily meals! Your suggestions are eagerly awaited!)

You need to read Larry the Cat's version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Spoiler alert: He eats every gift!

I make killer croutons with dried-out sourdough bread & lots of olive oil, butter, herbs & cheeses. Yes! The world needs more tasty croutons.

I've been waiting for this shoe to drop. Been thinking a lot about what will happen to all of the Trump criminals who've already pleaded guilty.

Oh, dear! Being a logical person married to a maths teacher, this is an unfair challenge. 🤣

This morning, we didn't get out of bed at 4am like usual (due to a late night). By 6:30am, I realized that my cat had come in 3x to wake me up. What an awful human I am!

THIS is such a perfect example of how needs rarely coincide with availability. Now look at food production vs. food distribution. There's no reason for half the world to starve.

My husband's story in Wyoming. Retiring with a smaller pension has SAVED us money! But, I worry about those kids we feed for years.

Hubby was a secondary teacher in a juvenile detention center & later a rural K-12 classroom teacher. For years, we spent $300 a month (min) to provide "extra" food to hungry kids. No country that tolerates hunger is a country I'll claim. (Since he retired, I'm tormented by worries for those kids.)

We've always know Zuck sucks. Money is far more important than decency.

My backyard view into the protected BLM (US Dept of the Interior) & privately-owned, infinitely-protected conservation lands. No one can ever build across from my view! (Did not know that when I bought the property 20 years ago.)

View across the river from me. Mule deer cross at a shallow spot a 100 feet east (right) of this shot. We also have a tribe of ~30 bighorn sheep who drink from the wash below the Sphinx formation across from us. What you see is protected conservation land with limited access to trusted neighbors.

We're on a spot on the Wind River where the mule deer cross all winter long between the red badlands & green foothills. They come every year to hang with us, but CWD has wiped out 75% of our annual herd. Always thrilled to recognize returnees!

A Graham cracker instead of a cream puff? What kind of mother are you?!? 🤣

Humans have always had a universal capacity to self-destruct, unlike any other animal. I say we give the whales, elephants & dolphins a chance to run the circus.

A caterer served this at a 🎄 reception & I fell in love. The "heat" must be moderated for different tongues. These proportions are HOT!

All I can think about is the number of hungry kids who could be fed & educated with that obscene amount of cash. (Kids starve while a billionaire smugly eats his $6.9 million banana.) #NotMyWorld

An in-law made Norwegian Rice Pudding every year. My FAV! Never could find the right recipe, but it was 1/4c rice simmered all day in a vat of slightly sweetened milk. Cooled, then homemade whipped cream folded in. The single whole almond inside was like Baby Jesus in a King Cake. Heaven in a bowl!

You had me at NPR! Sadly, anything resembling fruitcake is not allowed in my house. Would prefer to stay married through Christmas. 😄

I'm also a BIG fan of a wheel brie & raspberry jam (or honey & almonds) baked in filo dough for a cheesy dip. Elegant, Easy & Delicious!

A yearly treat in my house is rosettes. I make trays of them for neighbors & friends and they are so cheap! The trick is getting the iron the right temp.

Dead or alive, he means nothing. What I want to know is where his American wife is. She traded morality for power.

Wow! That's not too sweet? I make my holiday pie with pumpkin/acorn squash/butternut with canned sweetened condensed milk + three eggs & it's uber-sweet & tasty. I've never made bread with sweetened condensed milk. Maybe evaporated milk instead?

The reaction to SRV's death tells me everything I need to know about people. Kinda like losing Jim Croce when I was a kid.

Seriously, we can make incredible beans with simple ham hocks, pepper & salt! Add green pepper, onions, celery & carrots and you've got an amazing meal. MickeyD's got nothing on us!

Nope, nope, NOPE! No fruitcake. But, I make a killer Charoset of apples, citrus & walnut! Let's talk now about black-eyed peas...
