Medi-aid will day no, only once every 5 years unless a formal review is done which takes months.

Maybe they can be trained against other very chilly 🧊 imposters too.

Every medical test and every procedure my doctors wanted to do were denied by CIGNA and they had to go through a peer to peer review to get them approved. Every single time. Including when I was having internal bleeding and I needed a CT scan.

Happy Pride!

Russian Blue kitten

My Kuma has been gone a few weeks now and it’s been so hard. My friends urged me to adopt another cat immediately, so I did. He reminds me of Kuma sometimes but he’s more fearless and very glued to my side, 7-8 months old, a Russian Blue 💙 Meet Otis 💙

Thank you Lynne

My Kuma has thoracic cancer and I am bereft. My friends are keeping me going but knowing he won’t be here long has gutted me. The sweetest boy ever.

Made a rice cooker version of lap yuk clay pot with fresh shitakes. I might have to get more mushrooms and make another pot, pure comfort food.

Beautiful!

Delighted to discover that Daymoon’s seeded rye mini loaf is just like the sunflower filled rugbrød or saatenbrot I grew up eating, thanks to my dad’s European and Scandinavian colleagues. So good for you, a thin slice with butter is so satisfying. We would eat it while backpacking or camping.

Made an enormous vegetarian lasagne with a friend with my mother’s bechamel enriched with oyster and trumpet mushrooms between the layers. 2 caponata-esque layers and a basket ricotta center with chard and spinach. Raw brussel sprout salad to offset. Leftovers for days.

It’s gorgeous!

Duck and prune borscht. Recipe by @oliahercules.bsky.social
I tried, my spoon does not stand up in it, but I did my best and it tastes delicious. A little act of self-care in these troubled times.

Add a tablespoon of gin to it.

Well thank goodness they put that on the label. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow! Wish I had a view

Made a batch of miso butter and dressed some salmon with it. Maybe tomorrow I will be up to cooking it. Planned chan chan yaki with a great little arrowhead cabbage from the farmers market.

I loge seeing the ocotillos leaf out after the rain.

Discovering the joys of almond butter, why am I so late to this? I bought a tub from Gus’s but plan to make my own when almonds hit the farmers markets. Thinking of putting some in my porridge, besides toast and cookies what do you use it with?

The emotion she showed in this live performance is incredible. Where was this song when I was in my 20s!

A wonderful day with friends in my old stomping grounds. The Dungeness crab was 😘

Obsessed with this performance. youtu.be/ogBmPeZ73CQ?...

There’s the required biscuit with the morning cuppa upon awakening with the dawn, a proper breakfast within the hour of rising, then another breakfast around 10:30/11:00am. Perfectly normal.

Ordered some Slanted Door pork buns and claypot chicken from Neon, came chilled/frozen (you can order from multiple restaurants). Feels quite poignant to enjoy these now, I wonder if they will open on Valencia as Chef Pham had planned.

Oh yum, where did you go?
