Second attempt at focaccia.

One for someone else, one for me and my partner who doesn't like tomato on his.

I did not just...run out of tomato halfway through.

I made "what did I buy at the farmers market that I can throw in here" creamy shrimp with pasta.

Leeks, cabbage, kale, chanterelles, garlic, and this fantastic seasoning blend from Creole Me Up. (She thankfully has things my white AF "ginger is too spicy" ass can eat.)

I went on a group bike ride commemorating Oregon exploding a whale 55 years ago on a beach.

Willy Wonka themed.

We rode through Portland with Whaley Wonka, listening to the movie soundtrack, to a river beach, and "blew up" the whale.

Me to my ex husband: "hey I went on a bike ride commemorating a blown up whale"

Tonight's anti-fascist activity was biking through the streets of Portland while songs from the Willy Wonka soundtrack played, ending in a spot on the river beach where we "blew up" Whaley Wonka.

The budget that the mayor and his supporters are screaming about being reduced by 4 million is one that has already taken millions in funding away from housing people.

This is what these people really want, is more dead homeless Portlanders.

There's not much better than being in a relationship where you're just seen.

(I meant Fanta, and he not only knew I meant Fanta, but that I meant pineapple Fanta).

I'm not even an exasperated working class mom but I just said "We've got Subway at home."

Yes...yes republicans in Congress. Get rid of giving money to institutions and give it directly to consumers!

(Come on y'all, play along, and we'll get UBI out of this.)

Cooking frozen foods with a rice cooker, an air fryer, and a microwave while you take a shower is still cooking.

My apartment is right near PSU and I find it really charming that these cards about PSU homecoming are stuck all over the building. Not by staff, they were complaining about it, haha.

Have school spirit! Go to the game and the dance! Live it up!

Oh how fun.

Boston had these Victorian mail boxes all over in certain neighborhoods, I've never seen them anywhere else.

How crafty are you...

My feed did the thing.

Okay, but...maybe just a little pinch?

Got a new daily pill container.

Me, realizing my stomach is growling and I haven't eaten enough today but it's late, and I'm physically tired, and thinking I'll just suffer because that's easier than cooking and BAM, saved by beans.

@billhookunion.beanyear.com sells great beans, buy some.

Portland carfree achievement unlocked: uhaul van.

Rode my bike to pick up the van, tossed the bike in the back, used the van for moving of a heavy thing, returned the van, biked home.

IN THE RAIN, my ridiculous hat works even in a heavy rain to keep my glasses dry.

A minute of meditation for you, sitting next to the Breitenbush River.

Spent Halloween at Breitenbush Hot Springs.

I highly recommend going to Breitenbush, it's just simply one of the best places on the planet.

I bought a tropical avocado once.

Highly recommend if you get the chance.

I'm going to be naked on Halloween, so here's my costume.

(I'll be at soaking in the pools at Breitenbush Hot Springs for the next three days.)

My Christmas cactus is going so bananas with blooms this year that the CUTTING that I'm propagating now has a bloom.
