Nothing much to say that hasn’t been said long ago: I’m a doofus and a terrible follow
I’m very aware of MeanCat’s comings & goings in the yard & front porch & into the house. He walked in the kitchen to get a snack. I walked out the back & saw the owl; I walked back in and shut the doggy door. MeanCat is big mad but he was gonna come in anyway cuz it’s chilly

Unless you need advice on how to use your dad’s diamond mine money to help overstay your visa and then work in the US, and buy the work of others but claim it’s your own genius, and be shockingly racist & incurious & cruel, never listen to a word Elon Musk says about anything

Made Theresa’s other favorite salad, Som Tam Thai (Green Papaya Salad). Peel then shred/mandolin a green papaya. Use mortar & pestle for garlic, green chili, peanuts. Then Fish sauce, lime juice, tomatoes, green beans, palm sugar, don’t make a paste. Add papaya. Holy moly wow

Made Theresa a last batch of her favorite fruit salad with the remaining kumquats from the yard, plus a pineapple and four pomegranates. Pour a bit of the home grown Meyer lemon juice and you’ve got the best thing ever. Now off to fall off the roof with a chainsaw….

In between storing the chili every fifteen minutes for a decade, I cut down two of our way way way overgrown & dying red tip shrubs that are now 25 feet tall. They’ve had a fungus for years. It’s time. But I’ve let them grow for 15 years. Ladder, roof, chainsaw, soccer sandals, you know this….

This has taken way too long but man it’s delicious. I made J. Kenji López-Alt’s “Best Chili Ever”. And it is. I skipped the beef and anchovies, but otherwise followed his recipe. So many steps. Like toasting ancho & New Mexico & árbol & pequin chilis. Then grinding work spices…
