In the Tampa area for a work trip and found a sushi spot in the shopping center next to my hotel. I'm shocked - it's some of the best sushi I've had in a while. If you're ever in the area, check out ZukkuSan in Lutz.

About out of vanilla syrup for my coffee and money's tight but I DO have vanilla bean paste so I made my own.

2 cups sugar
1 cup water

Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until sugar is all dissolved. Remove from heat and add:

2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Stir to incorporate. Enjoy.

By my husband's suggestion, I made my beef stroganoff for dinner. Always a hit. I'll even share the recipe for anyone interested - it's super quick since I make it in the pressure cooker: www.kirilith.com/2023/06/09/p...

Took a little trip to Zumbrota in the hopes of testing out the A7c and catching some eagles along the river. That didn't pan out, but the last historic covered bridge in Minnesota was happy to model for me.

Southern tradition today in Minnesota as I made Hoppin' John. Here's hoping it dies, in fact, bring us luck this year.

New glasses finally! Warby Parker Annika in Aventurine Tortoiseshell. Still adjusting to them, but they look nice.

Drove a little out of town after rehearsal tonight for a treat - the aurora is so gorgeous.

Stopped at Maid-Rite on our way through Iowa to try local specialties. The loose meat sandwich is fine - tasty enough but not something I'd seek out. The pork tenderloin tho -The pork was perfectly fried and it was delicious, but advertising it as "on a bun", while technically correct, is absurdity.

Just a little gumbo for dinner.

Got the Halloween decorations out finally.

Embracing the fact I live in Minnesota now - homemade creamy chicken and wild rice soup for dinner!

We have too many eggs so I made a spinach, goat cheese, smoked salmon, and red pepper frittata.

Freshly re-purpled! I feel so much more myself.

My husband made a seasonally appropriate flag for the house.

Putting our money where our mouth is. Our annual subscription was about to renew soon.

If you don't know me, you don't know how much this one stings. I'm a massive Star Wars fan - even a former Lucas employee. I'm also a Disney adult, and a lifelong Marvel fan.

But some things are more important.

Fresh tomato puree from the romas from our garden! Got 16oz out of what's probably the final harvest.

Drove two hours round trip for the same massive green bowl we had when I was a kid. There's something appropriate about getting vintage Tupperware from a lady in rural Minnesota, dontcha know!

There we go - upgraded the lighting in the Game Cave (i.e. basement). The overheads were much too harsh for retro video gaming or playing TTRPGs down there comfortably

Brrr, it's cold in here!
There must be some @pwhlfrost.bsky.social in the atmosphere!

Pulled these ladies in my blaster box packs today. Now to round out the collection with special cards. #pwhl #minnesotafrost

Time to see who follows directions and who is self-absorbed enough to think it doesn't apply to them.
