We had a peacock named Romeo who hung out in the open air kitchen we had when we were staying in Hawaii in 2020. We took some great pictures of him but he was always very nosy about what we were eating!
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

If I recall correctly, peacocks are also obnoxiously noisy. So it's like having a really glamorous drag queen rooster hanging around your place.

This Evercrisp is way, WAY too sweet.
Fortunately, when I combined it with some extra sharp cheddar, it fixed that problem.

True. My neighbor in Otter Lake has them and they do make a ruckus.
way, WAY too sweet.
Extra sharp cheddar is the appropriate solution here.

Today is Sumi's birthday! I do hope that all is well and that this year brings all good things for you.

Happy Sumi day!
Mmm, apple and cheddar sounds great! I have neither, alas. Will try to remember “evercrisp” next time I’m at the store

I am having folks over for another blind apple tasting party today! Sadly I woke up feeling like shit, my muscles all hurt for no reason (why am I apparently fighting myself in my sleep?) so I still need to clean my house and go to the store in the next few hours before people come over. I do have some evercrisp apples—the cosmic crisp and honey crisp were surprise losers at the last taste testing!

I dunno, I feel like this would be a good ad campaign.
