If Bradley goes down, I hope he brings Hegseth with him.

Two woodpeckers frequently eat suit cakes that I put out mid-November. It's always a treat when they visit.

I discovered this post reading a stranger's page. The concept rang true and resonated with me long after the words were read.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @mluckovichajc)

I appreciate the insight this post provides. I did not realize the effect their extra effort requires.

Me too. This is the first time I listened to his work!

He's a quick one that keeps me on my toes, that's for sure!

I saw this meme and could not stop giggling over the absurdity of politics these days. It's better than crying, I guess.

CBS's firing behavior is so extreme, it is hard not to draw the obvious conclusion. I am not a big TV watcher, but it's maddening enough that I'll boycott and notify advertisers.

Same here.

I try not to expect a bad outcome when I stand up for what's right, but its hard not to be pessimistic on how much worse things will get. I'm older, so I have already come to grips with the possible worst-case outcomes.

I didn't realize you were the author! I loved your personal touch, relevant details, and brevity. It was like a tiny peek into a quiet moment. Can't wait to make the soup.

The whole concept of these trials is blowing my mind. I would never have dreamed scientisrs woukd be using camelid antibodies with snake venom. Science can be so great.

I don't know what genre your story is in, but in the coming days the poverty angle can offer some amazing plot twists.

I'm glad there are folks who understand government funding so much better than I do. I'm trying to catch up, but it feels like this administration is twisting the laws to suit them.

I've forgotten most of my civics lessons. Is this really how Mike Johnson can be forced to act and not just give sound bites to reporters?

Enormous expansion of power should be translated to an "illegal power move."

Thanks for the response and sharing your perspective. It's just hard to be on the outside looking in.

What a great way to get all those spinach nutrients.

I'm ready to expand my knowledge of Indian dishes. This will be a jumping off point beyond the chicken curry I usually make.

I missed the discussion but agree with many of the follow-on comments.

I enjoyed watching your video. As someone with middle-class "white privelege," I feel it's my duty to get involved and stand up for those less fortunate or marginalized. The racism and punishment of the poor bother me most.

Loving curry spices like I do, your posts have inspired me to stretch my knowledge about them.

How cool. I loved watching him cook and am glad to have picked up what he was laying down. He seemed like a great guy.

Inspiration for my Sunday in the kitchen.

That meal checks all the boxes for me. I've never cooked with preserved lemons, and I'm following you for more cooking inspiration.

Seeing your knitting in the background makes the drink more enticing...for me at least.

Your soup looks yummy! The attached blog was an enjoyable read. I'm going to try this on Sunday.

Angelhair with bolognese used to be my go-to meal for days in my youth. Your dish brings back fond memories and looks delicious.
