She was not fragile like a flower, she was fragile like a bomb

I want to thank all y’all for your support. I’m pretty sure the Spanish team could feel our support! We did it!!!

We made gnocchi and tomato sauce from scratch with our garden tomatoes and herbs. It was heavenly!

Fig dip served over whipped ricotta. Fresh fig season is my most favorite time in the garden!

Welcome to the “anyone but Argentina” fandom! Please notice that you do not need any special equipment, you can wear your favorite team shirt, sing your favorite songs, etc. We are all in this together!!! Go Spain!

A very soothing jellyfish and a colorful seahorse that I met last Sunday at the NC Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores!

Sunflowers and a view of the Neuse River from this weekend in Oriental, NC

Apparently this is my “in love” face? I thought it would be more serious?

Lady is so sad about Norway’s departure from the World Cup that she has taken to her bed!

Did somebody say eggplants?

I got so many garden tomatoes! 💕

How old were you when you realized that evil actually wins a lot of the time?

Notre Dame is truly a beautiful university, full of lovely and thoughtful people. I’m so glad that I got to visit it with the ACC Academic Leaders Network and my NC State cohort!

Explain your @ I teach for a living. It’s what I do.

First salad of the year with fresh garden tomatoes!

Just be glad you can’t smell her!

Any birders out there can tell me what kind of feathers are these? I found them in two different parts of my backyard in NC, if that helps.

Who is the most outstanding university educator that you can think of? Please repost if you can, I would really appreciate it!

Some pink plants because they cheer me up

Was sad, made some rice, felt a little better.

Dr Martin was my PhD advisor at USF. He and his wife, Mrs. Barbara B. Martin created a lab environment so safe, nurturing, and professional, that it allowed graduate students from all backgrounds to thrive. They changed my life and I owe them a debt that can only be paid by helping others.

I think that we don’t talk enough about how the neurodiversity of some folks can be annoying to other neurodiverse folks.

Some of you might remember Sake. He went over the rainbow bridge today, and my heart is so sad without him. He was simply the bestest boy.

We had cake to celebrate the culmination of our book club! Really enjoyed using @perusall.com as our platform, thanks for sponsoring! The book was The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger.

Things that make me happy; seashells. I don’t like going to the beach, but I love finding seashells at thrift stores. I know that’s weird, but it makes me happy.

You can’t go wrong with baked Brie and crusty bread!

This is after firing!

Happy Valentine’s Day! A little Asian omelette with rice, bbq ribs, and chili crisp!

I took a tile painting class today. This is before going in the kiln!

Past me said yes to a lot of things on this day. Present me is quite cold and grumpy about it.

A tray of snacks to watch the game!

I did not have a severe latex and wool allergy developing later in life in my bingo card, but here we are. Also, lots of things contain lanolin!

Happy birthday to my youngest son! How time flies!

Happy holidays pocket friends!

Cherry nougat. So easy and so delicious!
