Cleaning out some office stuff—and I'm nowhere near done—found this.
I don't even remember. Did i get a PAN pin? Was there one? I worked hard to get "status" in RWA. And now? I don't know what to do with this pin. I don't regret the work. And the org did help me in meaningful ways.

The rib roast side of Costco's large pork loin.
Vacuum sealed with butter, salt, pepper, and herbs from garden: sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Putting it in the freezer to sous vide later.

I haven't dried culinary lavender before.
A little goes a long way, so this is plenty. I'll probably add it to loose leaf tea.
Anyone done this before? Do I just dry them a few days then store the flowers?

This update is so irritating. Top right, I can't even read the battery indicator. The weather is now in a terrible rectangular bubble when it didn't have a container before & was just part of the background.
(Yeah, I traveled to Somerville to grab food today)

New glasses! I've had trouble getting used to progressive lenses. So far, these are the most promising since I've started needing them.

RWA conference planner from 2011.
Found while cleaning.
Not sure what to do with it!
Also the lipstick shaped USB drive with Conference stuff on it. I think from Avon.
