Happily married transgender woman. Tech industry escapee trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Missing my library.

Good morning, all! I’m Daisy. She/her. I’m a 60 year old trans woman now living in Portland, OR. This tradition is one of the only things I’ve missed about the other place.

You can take the girl out of the south, but apparently you can’t take the (culinary) South out of the girl. A yummy bowl of cheese grits for breakfast.

Made a visit to Powell’s this week while in Portland. Came back with a few books! Some of these are for me, some are for the middle school library. Which are which?

Shrimp Étouffée, rice pilaf made with shrimp stock, and cheddar biscuits for dinner. It’s been a while since I’ve made this, but it’s one of my favorites.

I’m Daisy! She/her. Enjoying a few weeks of low-stress cooking while school (I’m a middle school librarian) is on holiday break. Enjoying our 39th anniversary with my wonderful wife tomorrow!

Hi! I’m Daisy (she/her). Finally got my mom’s dressing recipe right after decades yesterday (once a year isn’t often enough to debug a recipe). Happily having downtime with the pup today.

Scholastic had this note on the outside of their “diverse collection” for our book fair. The other two pictures are the books in the collection. How are any of these possibly offensive? Scholastic has a monopoly on book fairs (it’s not even close). This is their chance to stand for what’s right.
