Thrive to spite them

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Right there with you, Jess.

Every time That Site pops up in a post on Tumblr, I have to restrain myself from Going The Fuck Off.

Our wings are not tired.

It is getting cool here so I made yummy pumpkin chili! Pureed pumpkin, tomatoes, lentils, garbanzo beans, peppers, garlic, and artichoke hearts. Served with avocado slices because I like chunks of avocado in my chili instead of putting cheese on top. It was very autumn like!

Delicious!

Alembic has added a new seasonal menu item which is Pozole Fries. Which you can get with Carnitas.

Pozole looks like this: [link]

So basically it's like...Mexican poutine? Not really cheesy though, but it's french fries slathered in Pozole (mexican soup made with pork shoulder, chilies and hominy), topped with cojita cheese and carnitas. So decadent!

Congrats on the condo closing, Kristin! That's such great news.

The last time a Tumblr post about That Site went by, I did indeed Go The Fuck Off.

I have plans for chili later this week!

Mexican poutine

That sounds like a euphemism. (I do love pozole, though.)

Oh! On my list. I love trying new things.

Thinking a lot about Shir and all those in the region these last few days. The escalation is scary.

There's a whole NYTimes article about the increasing threat of international war, with China threatening to invade Taiwan, Iran funding a number of terrorist organizations and Russia itchy to invade other countries. Throw in North Korea and those countries are consistently working as allies in anti-democratic efforts worldwide.

I like pozole, but would never have thought to put it on fries? I do now really want lunch...

I am being driven round by bureaucracy....my doc was willing to write an rx for the new cash pay for zepbound, since I'm no longer on a trial of a new med, and I've gained 15 pounds in the two months since I had the meds (BOO). So she tried, but couldnt' figure out how. I went home, and figured out a way for her to do it, by adding the required pharmacy (it has to go through their special pharmacy to be the less expensive stuff, I can't afford $1000 a month!). She sent it. I haven't heard from them, so tried to contact them today. They said they never received it. I can see it in the system, it looks to me like it was sent and required the info (and they said they didn't even have it in a "this is rejected because XYZ" list) so I don't know where to go from there! I just want to stop constantly wanting food....and want to not buy another whole wardrobe.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm over that in a lot of ways, though I have talked a lot of trash on the subject over the years. Especially after a few years went by and he tried to *friend me on Facebook* and get me to come to his virtual launch and all that jazz. Like, okay, I was enough of a sucker to buy in a bit, and you didn't rip me, personally, off intellectually(God help him if he had, for the record--I'm stubborn, overeducated, and have lots of time free in the afternoons...he would live to hate words like "pro se", but I digress.) but just because I'm not hurt anymore doesn't mean it's like "Oh, you had *me* going," and we hang out now, you arrogant moron. I mean, I did think I was entertaining someone laid up in the hospital some of that time. I was very rude about that request and I regret it less than anything I've ever done.
