Lunch today was an asada taco salad from Taqueria El Gaban with extra pico de gallo and a medium Coca-Cola. Fresh, filling, and really tasty. The total came out to $19.76, which is also my birth year. A fun little coincidence on top of a great meal.

I had a tasty chicken salad tonight. I took a garden salad that I got for 50% off at the grocery store and added some shredded chicken. It really hit the spot!

Had the Beach Bikini from Beach Hut Deli delivered by DoorDash today. Turkey, cream cheese, sunflower seeds, cranberry sauce, spinach, and mayo on wheat. Sweet, savory, and perfect for the holiday season.

Tried the crispy bird sandwich at Burger and Cream tonight. Good, but I still prefer their burgers. The mandarin shake with chocolate chips wasn’t a great match, so I’d skip the chips next time. Large fry was tasty but too much, and one ranch cup wasn’t enough.

The sandwich has lettuce and pickles visible under the toasted bun. A small cup of ranch dressing rests on the plate next to the sandwich. Behind the plate is a tall white milkshake cup filled with a mandarin flavored milkshake with small chocolate chips mixed in.

Treated myself to India Oven today. Lunch was their Vegetable Biryani with warm spices and plenty of veggies. Dinner was Mango Lamb over basmati rice with a rich, sweet sauce. Both were excellent.

I had Burger and Cream today and loved it. The Boss burger came with sauce, lettuce, tomato, bacon, onion rings, Swiss, American cheese, and a chuck brisket short rib patty. The mocha milkshake with coffee syrup and chocolate ice cream was great.

Had a Lassen bagel sandwich from Bubba's Bagels with roast beef, tomato, red onion, pepperoncini and sprouts. Paired it with a warm vanilla latte and banana chips. Super satisfying lunch.

Tried a simple leftover remix tonight. Chicken fried rice with lemon pepper and green beans, plus a Baja Blast Zero on the side. Easy to make and surprisingly satisfying.

Tried the cashew chicken from Royal Dragon 2 today after eyeing it for weeks. Used a $10 off coupon and it was worth it. Perfect with iced tea and rice, plus leftovers for dinner. Sometimes small indulgences make the day.

Had to go lighter for dinner after that jumbo burrito earlier. Grabbed a fresh salad and some iced tea from Safeway. Still pretty full from lunch, so I couldn’t finish it, but it hit the spot and was a nice way to wrap up the day.

Had a Jumbo Burrito with pollo asado from El Favorito Taqueria today and it was amazing. It was packed with rice, beans, salsa, guac, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and cheese all wrapped up perfectly. It was huge, but I liked it so much I finished the whole thing in one sitting. #Burrito #Tasty

Caught a bee landing on a flower in our little garden. #InsectThursday
A close-up of a single Black-eyed Susan flower with bright yellow petals and a dark brown, dome-shaped center. The background shows a garden setting with potted plants and a brick wall out of focus. A Black-eyed Susan flower with a honeybee hovering just above its center, wings in motion and legs extended, as it prepares to land. The background remains softly blurred. A honeybee is perched on the center of a Black-eyed Susan flower, collecting nectar. The yellow petals radiate around the bee, and the blurred garden background enhances the focus on the interaction.

We played with mud pies, etch-a-scetch, and Little Miss No Name dolls; we learned to bake with granny, ran through sprinklers and "the fog machine" (mosquito spray) without fear. We wrote in cursive, did math in our heads and played in the street till dark. #GoodTimes

Had the Hamburguesa at Diego's, a Chilean-inspired South American spot. It came with a 1/2 lb of Jim Gates’ grass-fed, naturally-raised beef, provolone, thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, romaine, tomato, red onion, and mayo on a soft bun. Solid burger.

Didn’t plant it. Didn’t expect it. But this Rose Campion grew anyway. A reminder that beauty can take root in the most unexpected places.
A vibrant magenta Rose Campion flower in full bloom, standing tall against a blurred background of dry leaves and grass. The petals are soft and slightly ruffled, with a pale center. The stem and leaves are silvery and fuzzy, typical of the species. Natural sunlight highlights the flower, making it stand out as the focal point of the image.

I shape gods from belief, stitch meaning from myth. My faith is a mosaic, made of story shards lit from within. Schizophrenia colors the glass, but I craft with care. I'm not seeking agreement. Just turning a shattered worldview into stained glass.
A tall, radiant stained glass window stands in a dark, star-filled landscape. Jagged black shards of broken glass surround its base, as if it rose from a shattered surface. The window glows with vivid blues, purples, oranges, and greens, casting a colorful path of light across the fractured ground. The scene evokes transformation, suggesting that something once broken has been reframed into beauty and meaning, like turning a shattered worldview into stained glass.
