After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.

Oh yeah. He came streaking into the kitchen while I was making the pho. He actually meowed a few times, which he rarely does. So I toweled him off and gave him lunch. He’s now sleeping behind the dyer in his favorite warm storm spot.

Done and done. Toppings are: cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapeño, scallions, limes, (Theresa added cherry tomatoes), and maybe peanuts. With 3mm pho noodles soaked in boiling water for 15 minutes. A fantastic lunch. Big-but-somehow-still-subtle flavors.

Rainy Sunday calls for homemade pho. I use dried shiitake mushrooms to create a really nice umami (veggie style). Char ginger and onions. Toast the spices & then put in spice bag. Put all of these in the broth. Add rock sugar & fish sauce. Simmer for hour. This is really good. Add Noodles at end

The Baby Blondies are undergoing the Orangey-ing that MeanCat has demanded of all his recruits, even at mom’s. Pushups and a uniform orangey hue are all that matter in an army.

Wow. All growns up. And to think, she was, for me, the spark to get a baby lady orangey that led to the extra orangey that led to the Eastside Orangeys that led to…
