This begins the epic thread of dealing with the wine my father left me. This will probably take me days / weeks.
All wine was stored in in his house in So Cal, either the garage or the non-A/C living room. One bottle stored over the wall oven. 😳

You pay either way for food, clothing, shelter and care.
Might as well pay for a version that gets better results and is healthier for everyone involved.

Given how many hundreds of billions of dollars we’re spending on these enterprises, maybe we could just use that money to create a social safety net that incentivizes human flourishing rather than crimes of desperation and armies of prison guards and masked vigilantes? Just spitballing here.

More mushrooms? More mushrooms!
Yesterday was sweet tooth's (similar to hedgehogs but larger) in butter, sage and cognac to top butternut ravioli (purchased).
Today it's a ricotta onion custard tart w/roasted matsutakes.
(and yes, those are light saber electric pepper grinders)

Happy Gävlebocken season! Every year since 1966, Gävle, Sweden, has erected a massive version of Scandinavia's traditional straw Yule goat. It is so attractive to vandals—particularly arsonists—that in the previous 59 years, only 17 goats have survived fully intact. Good luck in 2025, Gävlebocken!

A happy accident: the many pomme pie, crumb topping with homemade cinnamon ice cream (not an accident). Delicious and unexpectedly lovely from the variegated shades from cream to pink.
It was supposed be pink apple and quince, but my quince had mostly turned - short nearly half a pie! (1/2)

I will not be shaming anyone's choices today, even if today is no big deal.
Whoever & wherever you are, I hope you can be with people you love, eat what you love, and be thankful for any blessings in your life.
And if you can't do those things I hope life gets better for you in the future.

Homemade saba from some of this year's grape harvest. Toughest part is straining the solids from the juice before cooking.
Struggled a little with thick consistency but easy fix adding a bit of water back to thin.
May try simple versus next year.
No, I will not be making wine.

This feels like something that can be done anywhere and I suspect already happens (in some form) in a lot of major cities.
The anti-hunger movement still has gaps, and small nonprofits can’t totally fill them – but a growing network of businesses and organizations is working towards filling in where it can.

I hope they block this in every possible way. I would not put it past this administration to bulldoze the coastline without permits just to screw the state. They did with the White House.
A federal contractor representing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Oregon officials last week that they are preparing an analysis of an unspecified project that would have significant environmental ramifications for the coastal city of Newport.

It’s the clearest sign yet that a detention center could be coming to the fishing city, where residents have vowed to resist those plans.
