OMG another one just arrived.
I have been actively trying to not use Amazon unless it's absolutely necessary (like when someone's gift registry is there). This is reinforcing that view.

A new level of Amazon marketing BS:
K needed a last-minute baby shower registry gift, so I used my prime ship the gift to her house. Items were tagged "this is a gift"
Since then I have been getting texts trying to sell me things for my "New Baby!" Yesterday I got a free sample of Baby Formula.

Actual recipe is still sketchy notes, phase but I'll share it.
I used a red miso paste and a dried dashi stock that I bought online. Now that I know what it is I can look for it in a local store in the future. This kind comes in a tea-bag sort of thing that was very easy to use. (1/2)

The best thing about perennial bulb plants is that sometimes I forget what I planted and it's a surprise.

I love getting nice surprises in the mail.
My friend Wendy G (went to college with me) doesn't see me in person very often, but she randomly decided to send me some books she read and liked. What a nice change from the usual junk mail!

Our rooftop solar is up and running (as of last week) and I'm very excited to see how that impacts our electric bill when I start needing AC this summer.
