Here are some more botanical friends from Constitution Lakes/near Doll's Head Trail. Garlic mustard and red deadnettle were EVERYWHERE, including growing out of fallen logs and dead trees!

Hopped off the boardwalk and trod tentatively through squishy mud about 50 feet off the trail to get a pic of this guy after spotting him from a distance. He's a summer or spring snowflake (both are naturalized to the southeast US)

I'm having what feels like a very minimalist hobbit lunch:

Toasted bread, pimento cheese w jalapenos, tomato and chili jam, with spicy cornichon on the side (chopsticks are the perfect pickle-handling utensil)

Finally wore these out somewhere 😎

THEY MADE A TURTLE SIT 😭😭😭😭 I LOVE HIMMMM

It's cute and also bizarre that they made such a big deal about Chen Kenichi's poor track record with women competitors on Iron Chef. And then once he had the reputation, women started seeking him out. Was he playing a long game to get challenged more by women?

Ate shit as soon as I walked out of the parking deck on my way to said tiki convention. And of COURSE I declined to bring my bigger first aid kit with me (🤡🤡) so I was rawdogging treatment with face wash, wet wipes, and light moisturizer

Anna made some of them savory martinis. This has several pickle juices, chili crisp, raw muddled garlic, and vodky. On the stick is blue cheese stuffed olives, pickled jalapeno, dill chip, spicy cornichon, and a spicy pickled quail egg 🥴🥴😩 it fucks
