Haven’t posted in a bit. Got to check another Michelin star restaurant off my list. Didn’t do full tasting menu as it’s fish heavy and I am allergic to fin fish. Moody Tongue Chicago lived up to my expectations 🍽️

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Knitting is how I found some solace during this first week since the so-called Christian segment of the electorate chose a very amoral man to lead this country.

Also watched Slow Horses and The Penguin, both pretty fucked up stories but well done shows
