I haven’t made calzone is a long while. I decided to make a homemade meatball and a ham and cheese. I used to make my sauce from scratch, now I use a jar but enhance it. It cooks for a couple of hours. I make the meatballs.

Three racks of ribs rubbed and ready to slow cook until I sauce them later. A friend makes her own cherry BBQ sauce, yes with real cherries. I am excited for it!!! #ribs #NFLSunday

The same people attacking California’s Prop 50 saying it is attack on democracy are the same people cheering Texas and other red states who are election tampering. Should we have Prop 50, absolutely not, but sadly, we can’t afford not to.

The game got out of hand last night and the Cubs put in a position player to pitch. 45 MPH was his power pitch. Most were in the 30s. A great win.

Day 1: The 2025–26 school year begins.
Today was the annual rite of “new beginnings” for our K–12 students. A spectacular entrance dance from our seniors, the introduction of the theme of the year, fun and games, and time to reconnect with friends. 🙂 #K12Adventure #FirstDayFeels
