Was looking at tomorrow’s college basketball schedule and ran across this gem. I not sure whether it’s disturbing or just amusing.

It's time to ask the #entomology and #insectid folks for help identifying this insect that is proliferating on my datil pepper plants. They look like stink bugs but I can't line them up with any pictures online to know if they're pests or predators. On leaves and peppers. Many present, only adults.

I am inordinately proud of this spatchcocked chicken. It was marinated in a shawarma marinade. I love the crosshatched skin from the grill surface.
Oh yeah, it was juicy and tasty, too.

We had our family holiday gathering today, featuring St. Louis cut ribs. These turned out well.

We picked a passel of popper peppers.
The poppers were a tasty addition to a cheeseburger and corn.

We’ve been using the same base recipe for Szechuan beef shreds for at least 35 years. We now add more of the veggies, along with Szechuan peppercorns in addition to the cut up arbol peppers usually called for. Tonight’s batch turned out especially well.

We are near the end of the first of three hours for our #NoKings rally in Gainesville, and there are so many people, we couldn’t get close enough to see or really even hear the speakers. Great signs!

Do you remember #FiftyFeetOfBlueberries , @pedinska.bsky.social ? The plants are maturing and producing like crazy. Here is today's harvest. Got almost that many on Saturday, too.
There are now several thornless blackberry plants behind them along the fence, now, too.

This is awesome! The sign at Trump’s Doonbeg, Ireland golf course has been vandalized to remove the “T”. I barely had time to snap the photo as we drove past. Gotta love the Irish!
