Absolutely not. F that. As soon as the survivor finale comes back on I’ll turn the tv on.

Fuck Trump and his stupid tarriffs!
Anyway, I am off to do some baking!

I’ve been working on learning my grandmother and great-grandmother’s recipes. Many of my great grandmothers cookbooks use these measurements. So this is really special!
I present, the most well traveled measuring cups in the world!

…and my friend Jane in Australia saw it. She said, “No tariffs like that in Australia!” and bought them for me!!!!!
And they just came today! I am over the moon!
They’re impossible to find in the US, and yes, I know I could just do math. But cooking is fun for me and math takes that fun away!

I had to document the county of origin. I had to get documentation on where the metal was smelted. I had to pay a ridiculous tariff fee.
It took so long that eventually the package was destroyed. I was so angry. Plus I was out that huge ass fee.
I whined about this whole ordeal on Facebook…

Also anyone with a quote from the amazing N.K. Jemison on the cover gets to the TBR pile immediately!

Alt text for the photo: a picture of a book called Audition for the Fox by Martin Cahill. The cover is most intriguing with a prominent picture of a fox in a dashing pose looking sassy.

I would pick that up just for the cover. Putting it on my tbr list as we speak!

Blueberry EVERYTHING!
I have to get my blueberry order in! Thanks for the reminder.

Lots and lots of sun. Where I’ve been planting them has good drainage too. I’ll keep trying!!!

Poppies, yes. Breadseed poppies. Not sure how California poppies would do in Maine. Maybe my uncle will let me dig a few plants up next spring and I can start a patch that way. His self seed so well.

Maine. And they would if they would even sprout. But I can’t seem to get the seeds to even sprout. :( I planted some in the winter and some in the spring and none of them came up. Maybe the birds got them.

Beauties!

I’ll try that. Will try winter sowing again too. I will NOT give up! :)

I will start preparing some bare ground for them in the fall! And mark it. Otherwise it will be covered in snow and I’ll lose the spot.
