Hello everyone. My daughter is 7 and she loves art. She painted this today.

Title: Sunset Ocean
Medium: Gouache on paper

I love the colors.

Yup! It's cost effective ( I paid $7) it's the equivalent of 12 sticks of butter

Last night, I made empanadas for the very first time! My daughter loved them! I was scared they would be nasty. Crunch was perfect and I fried it in the butter crisco.

Picture if Omni Man was single and a thick Brown photographer was hired to produce viral moments for the algorithm but catches him mask off being a diabolical villian.

We are eating bungeoppang tonight! Shuri feels like a real kpop demon hunter while enjoying this delicious treat made of red bean paste. #food

The temperature is supposed to go from 75 to 30 by Monday so we went foraging today. I'm shocked at the lack of native plants in my area.

I went foraging for Orangey today with Shuri. We have Japanese Cherry Blossoms and patridge berries in our yard. The patridge berries are safe for small animals and humans. I might try a jam or tea or something!!! Let's see if Orangey likes it.

I was asked if I would turn one of D'Angelo's songs into a comic and all I have to say is—if the spirit moves me, I will. Maybe I'll dream about it. #comicbooks

Taking this to my neighbor and her kids along with some rice she can cook and mix in to make it stretch if she needs to.

The kiddo loves it. I serve her fresh cornbread that slightly undercooked because she likes it mushy.

Yall going to be sick of me once I move into a bigger space and have the kitchen I deserve 🙏🏾😁. It's a gloomy Saturday here in New Jersey so I made Shuri a spiced banana loaf with caramel and chocolate sauce on top. I wish I had some lactose free ice cream to serve 😣🫣

I realize I'm in an east coast bubble but I thought most Jewish identified people voted Dem. Is there any data proving they did not? I know there are extremists that voted for Trump but this post is confusing.

And my foot brace is very visible. I have to walk steps slowly and hold on to the rails. And despite this I still get shoved 🥴😒. It took a lot for me not to shove him back but then I was thought; he's smaller than me and I'll end up pushing him of the platform and go to jail.
