Ice Cream #1 Made: Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream.

Well, more like Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cream. The strawberries aren't in season, and the mixture of lemon juice, honey and sugar is supposed to sit for 15-20 minutes to extract out the strawberry flavor. I did it for 15 minutes which is fine...but it wasn't ENOUGH strawberry flavor.

Still, Strawberry Lemonade Ice Cream isn't bad.

I love the voting system here in Washington State. It's convenient, easy, allows you time to research, and early voting is simply the default. And then you get messages letting you know whereyour ballot is in the process.

Wish they all could do it like we do.

Maybe you should ask for it.

When you gotta use the bathroom, but don't want to miss any of the lunchtime gossip...

"Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came...."

Unless something massive happens before the end of the year, I have my One Sentence Year in Review for 2024....

So, the end credits to the new Ranma series really gives me a lump in my throat because it felt like such a sad song and the visuals enhanced that.

I just listened to the song along with English lyrics. And this punched me directly in the heart.

Closetspace Fact: When I was working on Closetspace as a TV series in the 90s, I'd planned to follow the anime trend of having a nice song with visuals for closing credits. This was before "squeezing" the credits was a thing, so it was doable.

I need to burn off 3.5 cups of heavy cream.

I'm going to need to make Ice Cream. Oh, darn.

I get a lot of pushback from Texas friends and family who are all "You are being paranoid about Trans laws in Texas."

This is one of MANY reasons why I dont' do anything when in Texas, and why I only go back for very specific once-in-a-lifetime events:

FINALLY getting around to watching Star Trek: Lower Decks, and...uh...I think I'm in love with Kita. ❤

I'm not a doomsday prepper or anything. But I'm set if there is.

I bought these a few years back as part of a planned taste test article I was gonna do on the website before my life kind collapsed.

And honestly, they've fed me when power goes out or I ran out of grocery money.

And the first box is packed....

::sigh::

Funny Street Fighter III Fact: I pick my battles in that game based on the background music that plays. :)

Video Games are Wierd, Exhibit 6892034:

"The best thing about my inner nerd is I can tell it to shut up when it gets in the way, and it does."

Is seeing another turning point in my life coming. Two in fact. I wonder if I can take both.

My familia is either gonna love this, or be very angry.
