Cuisine, travel, nature, diy, sci-fi, fantasy, and theme parties. My garden is more square footage than my house, and that's bonkers.
Centre-left with friends on both sides, just don't be disrespectful. Life is too short.

Peaks have not been confirmed yet. Not too late to update your vaccines. Hubby and I walked in and out of our local pharmacy, less than 10 mins today.

Just when you thought it couldn't get more bat-shit crazy...he does.
Which oil-rich, 'nasty', 'drug-filled' country who he's been bitching about lately, is next?

I like to buy spices when I travel. I picked this up in Jamaica, and taking some inspiration from @jennarndt.bsky.social's 5 spice snickersoodles, I think it might just make some excellent spice cookies.

(For all you non-Manitobans, it's a fundraising party, in this case for an engaged couple, held in a hall or community ctr and is either really fun or really lame. Depends on the DJ and food. Lol)

Besides, what’s a more perfect consequence for idiots who protested a mythical “lockdown” than being sentenced to a very real one?

It’s perfect 😂
