Every insurer should be required to cover COVID boosters and every provider should be required to accept any insurance for them.

Fuck it, they should still be FREE for everyone, no questions asked. This is ridiculous.

Yes batches 6 and 7 in 48 hours came out really well!

Made some extra beautiful songpyeon for day-after-Chuseok x Sukkot guests.

ID: two pictures of rice cakes still on cotton liners in a bamboo steamer in a metal pot. They are green with purple decorations or purple with green. Some are abstract, some are flowers, and some are tree leaves.
