My only New Year's resolution for 2025 was to try 25 new soups. This is #5, French Lentil Soup! It was so, so good, I wish I had made 2 batches. #whatscooking #foodsky

I'm so impatient for spring but right now it's still looking like this up here 😂

The second box is a mix and annual and perennial pollinator-happy indigenous flowers. These ones are all mixed together, and some won't come up until the following season, but I didn't grow any flowers last year so I'm excited to have some!

I love the packaging, each little box has the instructions for best conditions. The veggie box is all ancestral heirloom varieties that have been grown in Quebec for generations. Cukes, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes.

I have been struggling to make a decision on what to plant this year, and stumbled on these lovely seed packets! How beautiful is this artwork??

I steep a teaspoon of each together for 20 minutes, making it nice and strong. I also add a bit of sugar, sometimes I'll even make it into a hot chocolate. It's a nice morning treat.

The second tea I make is one that helps with my anxiety, but also helps me focus during the work day. I blend Hawthorn, Gotu Kola, Damiana, Holy Basil, and nourishing Nettle to round it off.

I ran out of tea yesterday, so it's time to make my two favourite blends again this morning.

This first one is a lovely chai, I like it strong and spicy! I use pink peppercorns for purely aesthetic reasons.

I am literally missing like 12in of floss to finish a piece I've put 150h+ in, so in the meantime I started a new project! Another big one, botanical themed (Blue Gentian). 4% done haha

Does this mean phthalates like BPA cause autism? No, we certainly can't say that. Here is the suggested pathway between BPA exposure and ASD/ADHD (from the study):
