While I was away my copy of @davidwondrich.bsky.social and @deankotz.bsky.social ‘s Comic Book History of the Cocktail arrived! I’m only just getting a chance to flip through it but it’s a gorgeous book, and thorough! With tons of recipes, too!

She came out while I was out, so I didn’t get to see it! But she’s chilling on one of my balcony pepper plants at the moment. I’m so proud of her!

She’s STUNNING 🤩

SHEILA ECLOSED!!!

Sheila did it! She made a chrysalis last night!! I took it out to photograph but put her safely back in her terrarium. No idea how long this stage will last, but I think a week or two is normal?

Sheila the caterpillar has been doing well, plowing through my parsley and frassing all over the place. Yesterday she stopped eating and took up this position- the photos are awful, but I don’t want to move the terrarium and disturb her. I think this means she might be ready to make a chrysalis?

UBE KOLACHES. These taste so freaking good I don’t even care if I’ve shamed my ancestors with them.

Definitely making my next newsletter about these!!

Sheila (we have named the caterpillar Sheila) molted out of their skin last night and then ate it! Gross! Then they ate a bunch of parsley. Turned up their nose at the fresh dill I offered. Still barely 2 inches long.

The little house used to hold a delicious spicy cocktail snack mix ^_^

I decided to bring him inside and made him a little house so he can pupate safely

There is a tiny friend on the pot of parsley I have growing on my front porch!

This charming witchy little popup in an alley next to the Italian ice place feels like a clever trap set to catch me specifically

Like it might as well be a cartoon box with a stick holding it up
