Moved from rural coastal Monterey, California, small town life to the big city life at San Antonio, Texas. You will find me indoors hiding from the sun, pollen and speeding cars on the freeway.
This is why I have been buying shelf stable milk from the dollar store. If I need milk, I have a quart in the pantry. If I forget I have it, stays drinkable for a long time. I throw out so much spoiled milk. If you have plants, you can water them with spoiled milk...Better for outdoor plants.

I almost tripped over a deer in my driveway on Tuesday.
I was looking for my keys, it was eating and turned and we came close to colliding! The deer stepped away and then stared at me. I apologized and got in my car and they walked down the sidewalk and joined up with 5 other deer.

As we invade their homes we interact with wild animals more often. If you see a sick wild animal, you let professionals deal with it. People harm baby animals frequently. Many animals leave their babies during the day and come back later. People just assume they don't have a mom?! They take it!

It is nothing I would purposefully try.
I would be angry if someone tricked me into tasting something that was torture in pepper form.
That is not funny. That is causing injury!

This is how people get rabies.
They think they can assess rabies?
I can't assess rabies in a wild animal.
I can note symptoms but the best I can do is say they are sick and drooling, best call wildlife experts.
Like you did with the bat in your house!
She reports she will get coyote karma points?!

I have no idea how she thinks she is assessing for rabies?
She is going to approach a sick coyote to give it water.
Doesn't seem to know that sick animals bite. Animals in pain bite. She has not stated she is a vet, a fish and wildlife ranger, a wildlife biologist, no training or credentials

Olives and chicory type lettuces and herbs.

They truly believe that the act of immigration is a crime.
They support what is happening because they think Trump is persecuting criminals.
They are whitewashing America.
I would not be surprised if they started demanding DNA tests to further whitewash the country.

Many Americans have voiced that they do not want immigrants here.
They state that immigration is criminal. They have the idea that all immigrants are in the country unlawfully.
Few believe me when I tell them the people being arrested at courthouses are law abiding people that followed the rules.

I like a bit of heat but a lot of those things seem like they are dares. How hot can you go? Not for flavoring but for bragging rights...

My parents adopted a 7 year old dog and she had the best manners of any dog, I have ever met. Loving and kind. Older dogs will take a minute to adjust. They miss their human but loving kindness helps a great deal. She loved my parents immensely.

I thought you paid them off with a thermos of hot cocoa and cookies or something like that!

Where is the meme of you in Canada for all of the people telling you to leave America?
November 28, 2025 at 7:51 PM
I am sorry for your loss.
Your soup looks amazing.
November 28, 2025 at 7:46 PM
I will be the one making soup this year.
I am confusing her already because she never buys chicken broth. I bought it to boil to make soup.

Mom used to cut off chicken fat and used that as to grease the pan she used to cook chicken.
I save the fat I cut off raw chicken to make chicken flavored rice.
I would think using it for mirepoix is likely a common use?
I haven't but only because I never thought about it!
Mom has always made soups
November 28, 2025 at 7:39 PM
My mother always does that.
Do you keep the fat?
Or what do you do instead?

I would say that Laguna Beach was a desirable place to be even in the 1920s. People put in the effort to go there.
It was not isolated like mountain towns that snow blocks all access roads for weeks at a time.
Grandma traveled frequently and never reported difficulty getting to or out of Laguna

Over 75% of the population lives in small towns now in America.
They did in the 1920s too.
The average American lived in a small town during the 1920s which is when my grandma reported going to town by horse.
There was a mixture of vehicles, horse drawn, electric, gasoline powered, steam powered
November 28, 2025 at 7:25 PM
That would have be in the 1920s.
She reported that they owned a car too.
Her grandparents were wealthy.
Sadly, they were not trust fund wealthy, generational wealth, rich. Maybe comfortable would be a better word?
Grandma reported there was a mix of horses and cars when she was a little girl.

Being an American, I was thinking about America.
New York did not have an underground train system until 1904, fully electric.
My Grandma born over a hundred years ago, may she rest in peace, told me that her grandparents had a horse and buggy and went around town in it, Laguna Beach, California.

It is my understanding that mass transit prior to cars were horse drawn? They had a horse drawn "bus" that had routes and stops. They had an early cable car that was powered by horses. The average city dweller, did not own a horse. Bicycles outnumbered horses as personal transport.

Seems that they love fruitcakes so much, they serve them at weddings frosted!
I have never had a frosted fruitcake.
I would love to taste a fancy frosted fruitcake!
