My lab strives to reduce infertility, miscarriages, and birth defects. We want y’all to have healthy kids. I know it sounds weird, but indirect costs pay for lights, HVAC, maintenance, cleaning, safety, and admin. It’s really hard to reduce birth defects in the dark. Call your representatives

Our lovely neighbor gave us some Hibiscus calyx so I made Hibiscus Galangal syrup for a Mezcal cocktail to go with our vegan Swiss fondue by Joe Yonan. It was super cheesy tasting but uses rutabaga!
