This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Yesterday, I invented the idea of the fried muffin. Discovered, rather- slice your muffin and toast it by frying in a lot of butter- it soaks up the butter, and wakes up the taste!
I'm doing Bob's Red Mill basic recipe- apple sauce!
