Both sides.
And I just had it trimmed!
They pruned branches up ten feet higher on the trunk.
How ugly does it look? Imagine Cher getting a bowlcut.

That sucks, Hec. I'm sorry.
Here's the relevant part of the recipe:
Lemon Dill Mayo Butter
2 tablespoons melted butter, slightly cooled
2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped dill
Pinch of salt
Make the Lemon Dill Mayo Butter Whisk melted butter (cooled slightly), mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, and salt.
It's drizzled over the baked and broiled for color mac and cheese (that has lobster meat folded in and topped with brioche breadcrumbs that were toasted with Old Bay)

Probably not, since it was the city that did it, but it may be worth looking into.

ION, guess who filed her claim for compensation in the Athropic lawsuit? This goth right here! Yep, my book was one of the ones their AI scraped.

Go Atropa!
I am expected to work while my phone taunts me with new Pluribus and new Heated Rivalry. Ridiculous.

Oh yes, I should get on with that. (I'm a beneficiary of the ceramics textbook my grandfather wrote.) Gotta get my three dollars or whatever's left for the class action claimants after the lawyers get theirs.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Usually lobster rolls are made with either mayo or melted butter, and it's pretty common for the mayo-based ones to have lemon and dill in the dressing, so I'd say that all works. (People often have strong opinions on whether butter or mayo is the proper way to make them.)
