Holy crap, if you’ve been watching GoT’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, get off of here immediately and watch it before you see any spoilers.
You can thank me in 33 minutes. This was a really good one.

Someone on here posted this Focaccia Pizza recipe a week or so ago, wish I could’ve found them to say thanks (I tried)! #homecooking 🍜🍽️
Made it tonight. Even though I had the wrong pan + not-mozz cheese, other me-baking-issues such a keeper. Recipe here: thepracticalkitchen.com/focaccia-piz...

Happy #MutantMonday just read Scott and Jean’s wedding issue in my current read through. Logan skipped the ceremony, sent a note.
Also have the Wedding Album. There’s also an official invitation Marvel made (don’t have), and they even put on a wedding at Another Universe comic shop.

Snow/ice storm approaching this weekend, just had lunch with my son who mentioned that Giant (grocery) and Whole Foods were all out of milk this morning.
Meanwhile, right after lunch my regular beloved calm H Mart is all like…

Snow storm this weekend + cold next week = my Eat 2, Freeze 2 (portions) + documenting seems like a good strategy
And of course today I went shopping so I can cook and add to the freezer list next week! Looks like Chicken Biryani, Focaccia Pepperoni Pizza, Cast Iron Irish Soda Bread (and more?)

Reading Uncanny X-Men #310 (1994), saw this back cover ad for the Akklaim Nintendo/Sega Spider-Man and the X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge video game.
And the awesome Akklaim Marvel UK comic promoting the game - one of the priciest X-promo/giveaway comics. Bonus rare #Obnoxio appearance!

Happy #MutantMonday - ran across this back cover ad for the Pizza Hut X-Men VHS tapes from the Fox cartoons in UXM #309
Shows that these two Pizza Hut Creators’ Choice mini comics came with the videos. Don’t chase all the X-mini comics, but these were a must.

It’s #WolverineWednesday so here are two early Logan Wolverine vs Sabretooth battles: Uncanny X-Men #213 (their first) and #222
Started reading X-Men comics with the Mutant Massacre story, so you can understand why I became such a big fan of them and Logan in particular

Like most everyone, I hate wasting fresh produce and herbs. For years, been drying leftover fresh cilantro (+ other herbs) in the oven - super easy.
Bet you can tell which is home dried and which is bought. While the bought isn’t brand new, best by date is still next month. Big flavor diff too.

Hear me out. Tomlin gets fired, goes to the Ravens. And guess who the new Steelers head coach is… yep, Harbaugh.
And Aaron Rodgers is the new Browns QB.
