Those swollen ankles were not indicative of congestive heart failure (CHF). He is in exceptional health … the apparent swelling in his ankles was merely where his excess bullshit accumulates - it has to be stored somewhere … totally unrelated to his health …

Seems like it would be poetic justice for Canada to win 🏆 the World Series this year … somehow

Might help to see the rest of the calendar for context & to see what month you are shooting for (as it were). The one on the right speaks of Spring and the 1 of the left makes it seem okay to cozy up next to the fire and drink lots of hot chocolate & marshmallows...what's a few extra lbs in winter?

The moon is made of Swiss cheese ... it's a really big piece of cheese, nobody knows where it came from. Some people think it is a giant light ... maybe it is ... nobody knows ... we'll have to see ... but when I look up I see that it is cheese.

Almost midnight in Kyiv.
Calm.
We have power, water.
Drops of rain gently sing a lullaby
to those who didn’t sleep last night.

Please, don’t take for granted
the quiet treasures you have –
power, water, windows, a roof.

And to go with the olive pate I shared earlier, rustic paprika crackers. Super easy to make & you can use cookie cutters or break into pieces.

Bake them in the air fryer or oven. #dairyfree #vegan ##veganfood #vegansky #veganrecipes

Paprika crackers dough rolled in greaseproof paper and baked crackers served with crunchy veg & white bean pate.
