🇳🇿 It’s New Zealand night, baby! 🇳🇿
We made:
🥧 Meat and cheese pies (with Impossible meat);
🌽 Keri Keri, a corn salad;
🐟 Ike Mata, a Māori dish of cured raw fish—like ceviche; and
🎂 a Pavlova.
It’s subtle, but I made the slits in the top of my pie in the shape of New Zealand!

Last night was a celebration of the 30th birthday of the Communties, Environment, and Planning major at UW. I’ve been teaching adjunct in this program for 6 years, and it was a blast to see many former students and older alumni. CEP builds such a powerful community each year. Long live CEP!

My husband prevailed in the family movie selection process last night, but it was French avant-garde, and one kid refused to even start the winning movie, and then the other kid and I both fell asleep like 20 minutes in.

Okay, what are all the statistically most improbable plays that could happen possibly in a baseball game, and how are we gonna fit them all into innings 10-18?

This seems counter to the narrative they’ve been pushing, that only a Harrell administration will resist Trump.
It seems like the Harrell administration is quite comfortable in a Vichy-style collaboration with the Trump administration.
