Dear Jade,
Tonights dinner is duck breast with a cranberry orange sauce, Brussels sprouts cooked in the leftover duck fat and leftovers mashed potatoes from yesterday!

Dear Jade;
I am going to Chile today!!! Very very excited; be prepared for an influx of pictures

Things are looking kinda bad so here's a fox <3

On top of everything else, it’s damn near 80 degrees in Boston in November.

A lady on TikTok said “this ain’t climate change; it’s proof we’re already in hell.” And you know what?????? I AGREE.

Dear Jade;

I hope you've been well! Halloween is almost upon us and I can't wait!! I am also going to Torres del Paine in November and I'll be sure to post plenty of pictures

Dear Jade:

It has been a crazy few months. I hope you're doing well! I settled into my new job and started a 30 gallon fish tank. It's not quite done, but here's a photo from a few weeks ago. I'll be getting more fish this weekend.

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #5,254,676, Dear Jade ‪@dearjade.bsky.social‬, joined on Apr 1, 2024"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #5,254,676!

Dear Jade;

Look at the sunflower I grew! Im growing purple, brown and red sunflowers this year because while I like yellow sunflowers that's pretty basic

Dear Jade;

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. The new job is crazy busy! I love tho and I also love the bigger paychecks. As an apology, have a photo of my dinner. I made duck confit with crispy basil garlic gnocchi! Remind me to make it for you when we see each other again

Dear Jade;

My new job is going really well! I'm also making quite a bit more, so I should be ready to buy a house next summer. I'm really looking forward to being able to paint my walls and have a permanent garden, not just plants in pots

Dear Jade;

I baked some focaccia bread last night and gods that shit is so good. I added fresh blueberries and rosemary as well as a little sumac and salt. I'm gonna be baking bread every day if it comes out like this

Dear Jade;

Dear Jade;

It's summer which means all the Boston restaurants have outdoor seating which means be prepared for an influx of food related posts! While Yafa is in Somerville, it was mind-blowingly delicious. I had a (authentic) iced chia and rose pistachio knafeh

Dear Jade;
Cape Ann is superior to Cape Cod in terms of beauty. However those beaches are flat AF and I walked - WALKED - a good quarter mile into the ocean and the water stayed around waist high. Very cold and clear water with no seaweed tho

Dear Jade;
I start my new job Monday!! In order to get ready I've been fixing my sleep schedule so I get up at 7:30am (blerg 🤮) and as I have Jack shit today I'm in Gloucester! I'll be going to the beach and then biking around. Having breakfast at a local spot rn (George's)

Dear Jade;

Eating a fire ass French toast from North St Grill in the North End. It's also a huge portion (the size of my head!) def recommend

Dear Jade;

GUESS WHO WALKED TODAY!!!
that's right - I DID!!

(unfortunately fall grads don't walk till the next year 🤮 but I made it!)

Dear Jade;

Went to Kansas to celebrate my graduation cause my great grandma can't travel. The cake was made by McClain's, and even tho they baked the wrong flavors it was still pretty good

Dear Jade;

I graduated college last semester (in Dec) but won't walk until next week. Here's my graduation cap!

Dear Jade;

Went out to brunch after a job interview; if you ever come up to Boston make sure to stop at Café Bonjour. Food is 10/10

Dear Jade;

Look at the final setup of my betta tank! Well almost final. I'm getting a carpeting plant and some shrimp in a month or two

Dear Jade;

Currently snacking on maple bourbon pecans from Qs nuts and I think I understand what addiction is like. I could spend my whole paycheck on these things

Dear Jade;

Great news!! My soil for my garden came in TWO FUCKING DAYS LATER. And to add insult to injury they came at 7 in the morning when I specifically told them after 11 😭. But I got it and was able to transfer some of the germinated plants

Dear Jade;

My damn soil didn't come in today.

Dear Jade;

My cat Microwave says #FreePalestine and #FreeGaza btw!
(he's so cute in his kufiya!!!)

Dear Jade;

Check out these dope roses I got! These are just for looks, unlike my Chrysler Imperial roses and Mr. Lincoln hybrid that I use to make rose lemon syrup each year. My soil comes in Tuesday and I'll repot them then

Dear Jade;

I finished the trellis for my garden yesterday! Took about an hour to make and I'm pretty happy with it.

Dear Jade;

My roses have started growing again and I have plans to expand my garden this year. I'm growing a ton of flowers, herbs and vegetables along with a couple blueberry and raspberry plants

Dear Jade;

Don't grow up cause you have to work and let me tell you I am sick of working 😭 like wydm I gotta make money to eat??? To live???

The adult money and complete freedom (kinda) is not truly worth it

Dear Jade;
I got a betta fish! His name is Chopstick and he is absolutely stunning
