Incident! In the Regino

Arguments I have with my cat: "You are an obligate carnivore, WHY are you even TYRING to eat my bundt cake?!?"

🌱 #gardening 7B

💊 So one item that is kinda specialty on the list of 'Things the straight of hormuz is scuffing' - would be my mental health medications here in the US. Adderall has already been through multiple shortages, and now its gonna get worse. I hate hoarding, but I also hate not having a brain.

It is much easier to prune the berry plants after 2oz of whiskey and a cigar to prevent any emotional attachment from getting in the way of necessary actions. Thank you for coming to my TED talk, I will not be answering any questions.

🌱 #gardening My tiny urban garden / food production site it back in swing, all my berries are breaking buds here in 7B and the perennials look to have almost entirely survived the multiple deep freezes and false springs. Gonna be a good year! My returning sedum and berries for the photo tax

🌱 #Gardening Idle Thought: Peppers do great in sandy well draining soil with lots of calcium. *looks at all the semi cleared land of feral orange groves rotting away in Florida* I have an idea...

🌱 #Gardening #HotPeppers Started my hot peppers a SMIDGE too early this year but thats okay, they will get by until eviction day in the 6" pots. Hawks Claw, Scotch Bonnet and Habanero.

Herald Square during the blizzard

Okay maybe I have a thing about a particular light and natural subjects, I aint apologizing

Every so often I go back through and look at old photos I've taken and I am reminded, I dont have a terrible eye for light and photo composition:

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

Yea it stuck a lil this time...

Chili Murderface

On the one hand I am very pleased the Gurney's paid attention to my order and sent it in a timely fashion. On the other hand, now I have a dormant rhubarb crown I cannot do jack with and when they said 'it will be shipped early spring' i was thinking more march not middle of February.

So Chili did this the whole second half of the game. @misc-mercury.bsky.social had the observation that Chili is clearly a Patriots supporter through commiseration over chasing birds and failing to catch them.

Chili Update!

I kinda dig this mixing black and pink patterns on me

My cat is such a slug

Birb Update: you know; tis winter when Im back at Baddie Tattoos getting more put into this bird. There are tattoos you have and tattoos that have you... #tattoo

This weeks "Comfort Food" - tried the Rancho Gordo "Royal Corona" beans (which are humongous) in the slow cooker with hot italian sausage and a few other things. Came out fabulous! #food #cooking 🍳

Weekly reminder that Chili is a diva, a tsundere, thinks she is a princess and absolutely poses for cameras #cat 🐈

Peace was never an option

🐈 #cat Cats in wrapping paper is an under represented holiday genre

In full production making dinner and cookies for friends tonight

New mask showed up! Time to get painting....

Another day in the ruts

Ah #LARP problems - when you finally have your main character done and now you have to make another because there is too high a chance of dangerous heat to actually play your full prosthesis character. TIME TO MAKE A HARADRIM! (I always wanted a Taureg head wrap anyway)

Why is my cat lurking behind my coffee cannisters, I dunno but NO BEANS IN MY BEANS! #cat 🐈

In spite of the 'holy shit' heat and not being able to wear my full kit, it looks like Kevin Nystrom managed to snag one of me from DFUS 2025! #Larp #DFUS (also i have NO idea that sign was behind me, this is the "I am dying but cannot sit down normal and not look cool" pose 😅

I am the best seat/petes warming spot for watching cat tv. Aka "being nosy and watching the neighborhood"

What to do on a day off - clean up and get the bar prepped for fall cocktails ! #Bar #Cocktails #Spirits 🍸🍹 I am very much over represented by Key West Legal Distilling and Isolation Proof Gin and I regret NOTHING

#cat 🐈 In what may be the most prototypical photo of a cat with thumbs ever

One of my personal garden challenges this year was to try dahlias - mixed results, but the ones that did well came out gorgeous!

🐈 #cat In todays edition of "Where is Chili?"

🌶️🍳 #cooking #peppers #HotSauce Turned the first big harvest of the habs this year into a mango/habanero hot sauce. Came out fantastic!

🌱 #gardening My Black Cohosh that i started from bare root 3 years ago is FINALLY flowering

🌱 End of summer processing, turning all the remaining basil into pesto for the freezer!

🌶️ 🌱 #gardening Been a bang up year for peppers here in 7B, and I have at least as many still waiting to come in off the habanero. Either they'll ripen up or we'll get a frost warning and I'll pull them in green, but we've stayed warm so late up til almost TG some years, I figure they'll do.

🐈 #cat Behold - the legendary Stinkx of New Jersey - a nosey creature if ever there was one. I kid you not, Chili demands I pick her up to hold her to the window so she can snoop on the nabe with a better vantage point.

🐈 #cat Thats some mighty low effort there Chili

1 year of Chili - I wasn't expecting a new animal in my life last August, let alone having to care for a sick baby but I regret none of it. She makes @misc-mercury.bsky.social and myself laugh every day with her shenanigans. Even if she is a menace to food. youtube.com/shorts/Zgwn8...

Vibe Check - I will maintained forever that this is the best photo of establishing both mine and @misc-mercury.bsky.social 's preferred gender representations both individually and within the context of our marriage.

🍳 #Food My overnight ropa vieja is now ready for the olives and capers, gets a few more hours in the slow cooker then she is ready.

#Helpdesk #Rant Separating the actual problem from how a user FEELS about the problem is such a fucking process. The amount of people who never learn it (including on themselves) is staggering and frustrating.

The garden is producing well - gonna turn some of this into some ropa vieja
