Forgot to mention the BBQ chicken and pineapple is topped with smoked Gouda cheese

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

4 slices of pizza on a plate with a can of Crisp and Dry cider from Annapolis Cider Company.

Two pizzas, one on a metal pan and the other on a wooden pizza paddle.

Pizza Night at the Austens!
One BBQ chicken and pineapple (so hate me🤣) and one 1/2 veggie and 1/2 pepperoni and olives.

It’s actually raining 🌧️. That’s like twice this month. Maybe this drought will eventually end.

Thanks for heads up. Got my double this afternoon. 💉💉

Just got my Flu and COVID shots. Made an appointment online this afternoon for a pharmacy less than a ten minute walk away before I even noticed that it was for in less an hour’s time. Expected it to be 1 or 2 week wait. The added bonus of course is that both shots were free. Love where I live!

Growing up in #NovaScotia it was always part of our culture to sing Sea Shanties at pubs, family gatherings or parties and we know them all! I hope this one puts a smile on your face and makes your day better! 🍁🙌🏼🥰

There it is.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A 49-year old Trump supporter was arrested at a Georgia Airport after his family revealed he had plans to carry out a mass shooting with an AR-15.

Billy Cagle previously posted Trump messaging about the 2020 election.

Not trans. Not an immigrant.

New Cabinet Will Drive Development

Tim Houston is taking over as minister of everything, er, energy.

You know what? Shitty leaders think they can do everything but the best leaders hire people they trust and are capable at the job.

This kind of micromanaging doesn't end well.

Pretty Polly just parroting MAGA

Pastor who raged about kids seeing Pride flags arrested for child abuse - LGBTQ Nation Silas H. Shelton has been accused of abusing his religious authority to groom a teenage girl.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

This will make a dent in MIs and dis information and propaganda- 50 MILLION fake accounts !! And don’t think for a minute that Canada doesn’t have these bot farms running here.
Problem is Bots don’t March and protest and can’t vote! We need more crackdowns like these all over the world.

16mm in my backyard by the time it ended.

Yes and no. Not by that name, I would normally use Yves brand tofu crumbles (no doubt basically TVP) or sometimes tempeh. For this it was just a mixture of various beans and vegetables which I puréed slightly to give some body.
Dried TVP would be easier to store and perhaps cheaper.

You being angry at someone doesn’t make them a better person. It only raises your blood pressure while they carry on without a care. Emote wisely.

Just remembered I saw a V of geese flying over south end Halifax just after 9 this morning, heading in the general direction of Citadel Hill which has large open green spaces.

I guess one can’t park at the Hollis St. NSLC, or Spring Garden Rd’s ESSO and Dominion Store anymore 🤣

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.
