The feminine urge to collect Calico Critters

(Trying to channel that impulse into mutual aid by buying this extremely adorable set for a local holiday toy drive)

One of my favorite things about pigeons is that they're big proponents of public transit.

What I made today for the community fridge/pantry: trail mix!

The version without M&Ms is non-dairy, as my favorite chocolate chips from Trader Joe's happen to be dairy-free.
A bunch of plastic baggies full of trail mix with labels that say the date and ingredients Two metal bowls of trail mix. One has peanuts, raisins, and chocolate chips. The other has all of those ingredients plus M&Ms.

I also bagged up some shredded Mexican cheese to go with each container.
