My son & his wife (along with 2 million other Houstonians) lost power this morning at about 7am. I wonder how many days it’ll be before the Freedom Grid is restored. 🥵🤬 #Texas #HurricaneBeryl

I’m really loving the #yallmasking toots, so I’m gonna share one, too. This was my fave mask until I learned fabric masks didn’t protect me well enough. Now, I wear boring KN95s that’ll actually help keep me alive! 😉

I think I’ll close out #MusicWomenWednesday with a goddess. #DebbieHarry https://youtu.be/O_WLw_0DFQQ?si=jByGInPS53mz8dRX

Bunbun dug himself a cool trough in the shade in our front courtyard, & he’s taking a little break. ❤️ #RabbitsOfMastodon

True story. 🫠

Her best song, imo. #PatBenatar #MusicWomenWednesday https://youtu.be/qxZInIyOBXk?si=liDjwlPzpS838pnD

We have a houseguest coming this week, so I’m cleaning today—mostly the guest room, bc it turns into impromptu storage when no one’s visiting.

Do you have house cleaning music? I do—& it’s been the same LP since college. #TheKnitters #X #HappyMusic https://youtu.be/-w5bcKoaBwE?si=dVhUG5JMtUqJUkgV

How can anyone possibly justify this? HOW??? https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/ron-desantis-slashes-arts-and-culture-grants-florida-1234710419/

I rarely indulge in what-might-have-been. Nor am I a jealous person; I think it’s a waste of time. But Mr. Boots & I have been binging Season 12 of Top Chef, & some of it takes place in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico—my bio half-sister got to grow up there, & I’ll admit, I’ve wasted some time being really fcking jealous of that. 🙃 #adoption #AdopteeVoices

I stumbled across this today, & it brought the biggest smile to my face—& my heart.

I love this cover. #Bangles #JukeboxFridayNight #Time https://youtu.be/TxrwImCJCqk?si=G3sbW2F4CyJTa3ou

My favorite version of this song … #MusicWomenWednesday #MarianneFaithfull https://youtu.be/-efIjZ_1yQg?si=WwWaFqLUOaYwaTlk

It’s recipe thread time!

I made the best pot of soup I’ve ever cooked today. I didn’t use a recipe, so I don’t have measurements for you—just keep tasting as you go. I started with a pot of chicken stock & added a couple of healthy splashes of low sodium soy sauce, a big spoonful of garlic chili sauce, a couple of big spoonfuls of minced ginger, about the same amount of minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, a little Basque seasoning (I put it in everything), Chinese 5-spice, some parsley, +

some cilantro, some red chili flakes. I let that simmer for a little while, & then added a bunch of shredded fresh cabbage, a bunch of shredded fresh carrot, & a bunch of chopped fresh scallions—& then I let that simmer (stirring regularly) for about 3 hrs. I adjusted seasonings, & when I had it all tasting just right, I add a bunch of fresh spinach, a dash of sesame oil, & couple of bags of frozen Asian dumplings (I use Bibigo Mandu Bulgogi chicken dumplings) & let it cook +

another 10-15 min.

OMG, so so good. Mr. Boots had 2 giant bowls, & not only are our tummies warm & full, our sinuses are clear! /end
