J/K, the packaging/concept is hilarious but at $79.99 a lot more $ per unit than just getting 4 of these ($13.99), and have almost enough $ leftover for a full-size bottle for Christmas with the in-laws or a couple packs of Old Style tallboys (now that's the Chicago Way!)

🎃 Happy Samhain my spooky witches! 🎃 It's my favorite day. I'm gonna go make some pumpkin crumpets, but here's a throw-back spread with a dolled-up Halloween funfetti box mix.
Tricks or treats (or why not both)! I'll drop some recipes in the comments if you haven't figured out what to make today?

I'm so wrung out & I know so many of us are here, sitting w/ this, trying to keep going, trying to navigate the waves of righteous anger & crushing overwhelm or numbness while trying to reconcile everything that's happening every day. And that's what they want, maybe? Fuck'em, they're not gonna win.

I was supposed to be canning tomato vodka sauce base & pear mincemeat this week & working on a bunch of seasonal recipes but I really can't focus on anything w/ everything going on, waking up to the sound of helicopters & more posts of ICE teargas in our streets. I'm so mad at these mf'ers, y'all.

roasted frog balls and toad in the hole, must be fall!
We're out of cranberry sauce but there's an open jar of lingonberry jam in the fridge, so that will do (unless I make a quick gravy).
toad in the hole is still in a very wet bog here (er, an un-baked pudding)...

Still have quite a few heirloom tomatoes left from the garden 🌱(which still has tons of cherry toms & a few San Marzanos).
Thick slices of lemon yellow oxheart & green zebras topped with flaky Maldon salt, on an over-easy egg, melted cheese & roasted tomato guajillo salsa on a fried sope base. 🍽️🍜

Shout-out 2 all the other slackers getting their taxes in under the wire. Have an Achewood, for a treat
(also, if you're me, a frozen pizza, salad w/ raaaanch, big beer & brownies, bc that's the ceremonial tax-time meal in our house)
man this strip aged like milk, huh. lean pockets would be class?

![an achewood comic strip from 2009, titled, "tone poem" (it is a rare strip with color panels, a teal to sky blue gradient behind the black and white line art).
Roast beef is speaking. "I paid my taxes. Somehow I paid more in taxes than actual functional people with marginal careers pay for a used Saturn. Yet the taxes I paid will not even cover one tenth of the installment costs of a new city storm drain or one week of th ecost of employing a restaurant sanitation inspector. (sanitation inspector cat holds a clipboard, and says, Your "wash your hands" sign is over twelve inches from the lavatory soap dispenser. You may not longer serve tacos or taco-format savory concepts. This copraphiliac fantasy buffet ends now.). Or one full set of in-flight dinners on Air Force One. [dinner menus in elegant script: shrimp and celeriac remoulade - taittinger. etouffee with oyster mushrooms and mimolette grits - marlborough sauvignon. paneed squab with smoked apple and pain au levain bread salad - noyes cabernet.]
Man I ain't stupid I know they aint gonna give the President a Lean Pocket cut on the bias with extra marinara and a ranch in two plastic cups. I aint begrudge him his falutin' at all the dude does more in one day than I ever will know can be done. But FDR served the King of England hot dogs and beer and you can look that up. That came from hard-ass personal qualities but also the fact that America was at the ATM with less than $20 in the checking and needed to pay for World War II. Maybe hot dogs and beer is our way outta this economic mess. All voice of elders. The meat so cheap and the beer so well-priced. But wait instead of a tap a periscope rises up out of the keg... the condiment pumps spray mustard gas! like butterflies the buns fly up and clamp over your nose and mouth! Ohhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiit! -Laszlo's cafe, 3 am, the audience claps.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vxmvvejnqpw7lajld3oez3nc/bafkreiai3dyw7jrgbdqo3xkcelmhujwwulsuyfjmmyg2qqjs4q7eo3qqly@jpeg)
