Might be time to break out the air filter. Dense smoke coming in the morning.

Last Week's Meals: Ginger Pork

This was absolutely fantastic. A nice sweet glaze with salty pork, it just worked great. Well, it would have been great if I'd let the glaze reduce a lot more. I suck at judging when a sauce is ready. It was too liquidy. Still, it was tasty!

Oh hey. Some fan art from @electropict ! Don't get a lot of that these days!

Well, there is one thing that these insane medication prices are helping with.

I have had so little free time I've forgotten to do my heat wave tradition of making teaberry ice cream when it gets hot. I guess I have a few days to do it this week....
