Timelies all!

This week has started in a crappy way for me. I was driving to work when I saw a car turning left right in front of me. I put on the brakes, but not in time. He crunched my front left bumper and other bits. (His car's back left region was pretty damaged.) The car is drivable, I wasn't hurt, but I'm still a bit shaken up. I filed a claim with my insurance and have appointments tomorrow morning at the body shop and Enterprise. Bleah.

I'm glad you're OK, Sheryl, but that really stinks.

That all sounds nice and festive, Jen! I especially like the sound of the botanical gardens

Maybe they are all about the savory at that bakery? You'd think they would have heard of it, though.

That sounds festive and relaxing, JenP.

Thanks! I'm actually glad I wrote it out; I'm holidaying after all!

Don't understand that Italian bakery sitch. I feel like maybe they need to re-evaluate that claim.

I'm upset the Filiberto's across the street closed.

That is so sad.

Filiberto's are the best, or were. I admit it has been awhile. But, dang, they were the best in Phoenix by far. They are also the best in San Diego but many fine fakey 'berto's exist there so it's not as clear a choice.

In local food, I should really make 2025 the year I have coffee or a meal with meara while she is local again. December Cass isn't the best Cass.

Cass! I am currently sunning myself in Palm Springs all month (well, maybe til like the 27th or 28th, tbd)

at Arby's, which has a perfectly respectable reuben

This is good information to have.

McAlister's Deli (which is a chain, but not in every state) has a decent reuben, too.

You too should carpool over to our annual XXXmas party this weekend!
