So today was an really frustrating, barely productive day. So to counter it, I'm going to try to raise some money ($1000) and spirits!

Stella’s Shelter Fund helps the other rescues in my region. They want to help in MN.
Please consider looking for rescues and shelters in Minneapolis (and elsewhere) that need help. I haven’t seen a lot of talk about what is happening to the animals. Let’s change that.

@jencoleslaw.bsky.social Tomorrow is Maple Syrup Day!! I got my order from Mansfield Maple last week! I'm thinking I need a recipe that uses their maple cream. Any suggestions? I'm having waffles with syrup Tomorrow morning, but I can only think of using the Maple butter on a cookie or scone.
