Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Thanks to the cultivation practices of Natives in the Americas we have sunflowers (seeds, oils), corn, and a variety of beans, chili peppers, and squashes (among other crops)
From their knowledge to your table, we owe them for many of our food staples

Meh, I can understand that after emotionally significant one…some relationships have other basis and it’s okay to not feel the need to change after those. Most people are who they are and break ups or not, they’ll still be themselves afterward. I’m not a “everything is a learning opportunity” person

The one that looks like glowing logs was left in the basement by the previous owner, so no clue. It should heat, but only works as a cool nightlight. The overhead one I got from an overstock warehouse last year, not sure of this brand but you can get them at Home Depot and places like that

It happens, you’ll live. Don’t be a douche about it.

Also, winning the breakup is subjective…May as well craft your perceived victory based on what you want to accomplish next in life rather than worrying about whatever tf they’re up to

Have to sit on the front porch of a while to knock the summer dust off the space heater. Almost time for chilly nights out front instead of hot times in the backyard

Among strangers, absolutely. With loved ones, you better stop playing before you get hurt. So, hard agree on the conditional equivocation

I boil all the tomatoes, when the skin is easy to peel is drain them and put them in ice. Once cool, I use a potato masher and simmer for hours with the seasonings I like. A dash of balsamic vinegar is my favorite little additive. I use garlic, chives, and jalapeño from the garden to flavor

I’ve got 3 quarts of frozen sauce already, so I’m glad to know I might be able to squeeze in a few more. Lord knows I love myself some sauce

I need to do 2 more garden things this week. 1. Plant some garlic for next year’s harvest, and 2. Dig up my one thriving carrot and use the green top to make a play on pesto as a basil substitute. Then I’ll be ready to just keep harvesting what’s left until winter stomps me out

What are you reading? I just finished The Intruder by Freida McFadden today, she’s an absolute psycho and I like reading her thrillers

I didn’t even realize I was down to the last few drops. I guess the last time I used it, I overestimated how much was left. I used it up and I’ll stop to grab some tomorrow
