Tonight's pizza. Homemade sauce & hand rolled dough, start to finish in under 2 hours, including prep & baking time. May it be consumed as quickly as it was constructed.

If every person got to choose their own Grim Reaper at the time of their death, to come and collect their souls, who would your personal Grim Reaper be? I know who I'd choose.

Yhy yes, that IS a ramekin of extra bacon grease that you can drizzle like syrup onto your dish, thank you for noticing.

Congratulations to Robert Englund, for finally getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What a truly dedicated actor. To this day, I have nightmares about him hunting me down through a labyrinth of hissing steel pipes & oversaturated red lighting.

My pumpkin ended up looking more like a Chocobo howling at the moon, than a wolf. Oh, well.

Some people don't like going grey, but for me each strand is a Victory. Every grey hair is a testament, not just to surviving, but thriving. Thriving beyond anyone's expectations, including my own.

I'm grateful to be alive. Here to fight for, support & spend time with my loved ones, pets & friends.

Updated my @trekonlinegame.bsky.social spreadsheet to include Ground set, kit frame, vanity shield, Flagship, Bond With Life pet & Advanced console used for each of my toons.

With 19 toons mapped, I can start #20 without duplicating gear or abilities.

I know...
I'm a bit obsessed.

Tonight I made big ol chicken burritos, with fresh homemade pico de guillo, pinto beans, lettuce, cheese, Mexican rice, sour cream & salsa casera.
Burrito ingredient prep. Chicken breast, cheese, pico, lettuce & salsa Ingredient prep. A skillet heating with oil & garlic, to sear the pre-prepared chicken & pinto beans. A large tortilla eagerly awaits on a cutting board to be filled. All the burrito fillings plopped into the middle of a tortilla, about to be rolled into a burrito. 2 burritos complete. Eventually there will be 8, each weighing over a pound.
