We’ve had light snow all week in the #berkshires yet the #veggiegarden keeps on growing. With this late-season #harvest we’re making zhoug, parsley pesto, sauté rainbow chard & kale Caesar salad to go with the lettuces still in the #garden

Saw this in the freezer dept of our local supermarket. What fresh hell is this? How is a food "GLP-1 Friendly" beyond smaller portions? Is this just another excuse to charge more for less? Please fill me in.

Came home to find my man enraged. His nice Sunday at home listening to mellow music on Pandora was jolted when he heard an ICE recruitment ad shouting that our cities are dangerous, overrun by "illegals." I recognize the company operates in capitalism but this is too much. Cancelled our subscription

Wah, wah, chef throws fit when asked to serve a veg menu for an environmental event. Dude, if you don't have the creativity or compassion to create a delicious, cruelty-free menu, hang up your toque. BTW @nytimes.com misleading headline: the story states menu was to be vegetarian, not #vegan

Weekend plans include Western Mass #vegan Fest at Abandoned Building Brewery in Easthampton. The first one a few months ago was a madhouse. I hope it's better organized this time! Looking forward to picking up some yummy baked goods from @littleloafbakeshop.bsky.social Sad it's not pup-friendly tho.

Fascinating story on illustrations by Norman Rockwell. If he drew "So you want to see the President" today, instead of portraying democracy & equality, it would show tech tycoons, energy oligarchs, financial fat cats, and sundry criminals & pedophiles waiting to bribe & flatter the fauxking grifter.
