Please do not forget to take care of you. Some food, some fluids, a little nap? Sending light and love to both of you.

My two go to's for poached chicken seasoning are Bell's Seasoning which is the turkey standard for Thanksgiving and it works great on all poultry and dressing / stuffing. The second is rosemary and garlic. Use it for chicken salad, or for having a chicken garden salad.

Sadly, I had a disease progression so I am now bed / wheelchair, with more bed than chair. It is the nature of the beast. 🤷‍♀️

Worked with a man who would inject the holiday turkey with a bottle of white wine prior to roasting. It was delicious.

Let me guess, they are all for "conversion therapy" and dead naming. Their next move will be to a red state where their bigoted asses can still take in foster's, get paid by the state, and damage kids. 😔

A hurry the fuck up and get well cartoon for my friend and fellow editorial cartoonist Clay Jones as he recovers from his recent stroke. If you’ve enjoyed his fabulous work over the years and are so inclined, drop a buck or two to help him out at gofund.me/abe906548

Chenille is a different animal altogether and is a learning curve. I can't do fine lace work any more, with arthritis, but what I do keeps things flexible. I am available towards the end of the week if you want to sit and knit.

I started getting my knitting mojo back 2 months ago. I have a shoulder shawl on the needles as we speak. I knit slower and with more intention as I have gotten older. The meditative rhythm came back after about 10 rows. The muscle memory is there.
