I love it when cooler weather arrives, so I can go all-in on roasting my veggies.

Roasted red and green bell peppers and cauliflower topped tossed with olive oil, kosher salt, and smoked paprika.

For #ThingThursday I have this neat wooden box that we found while clearing point Great Uncle’s home 30 years ago. I believe it would have been a display box for a salesperson, as there are rows inside for seed packets.

A wooden box that says Manneville triple tested flower seeds.

I am continually amazed how many of my patients are completely oblivious to what’s going on in the world/the US. Like, zero clue. I don’t understand how they live their lives to be like that.

It's spooky season so all of my favorite cookie decorators are making incredible Halloween designs!

#OnThisDay Oct 8, 1956: Southdale, the first fully enclosed shopping mall in the world, opens in Edina, Minnesota. Architect Victor Gruen, later realizing his invention had not lived up to his utopian vision of a car-free public square, became the biggest critic of malls until his death in 1980.

I’m guessing that since tapioca comes from the cassava plant, there will be lead in it—so like anything from that family you shouldn’t eat it every day. And children/pregnant people should avoid. In adults, frequent exposure can affect the immune system, cause reproductive issues, damage kidneys.

Jen the Tired RN @jenthetiredrn.bsky.social · 1d

Tapioca/cassava is also a MAJOR ingredient in tons of foods, especially gluten free products.

Lead found in all bubble tea samples tested by Consumer Reports

New safety tests reveal that bubble tea, a popular drink, contains lead. Consumer Reports recommends enjoying it only occasionally due to health risks.
