I don't know who needs to know this but Honey Mama (local PDX biz) is doing some sort of licensed thing with the Girl Scouts and they made Thin Mint style Honey Mama bars 🤤

This is now a pomegranate appreciation account
Another thing I appreciate about pomegranates is how they're like sure you can eat me but you're going to have to absolutely murder me first, I won't go quietly

All this to say, I've been working on finding ways to cajole myself to get up earlier, because that makes my whole day better, ultimately.

I made this smoothie on October 10 but I like how my food labeling system makes it look like I'm saying this smoothie is 10/10 good
