earlier this week I detected an onset of a shitty attitude, and I don’t have a lot of good ways of dealing with that besides going outdoors. so here’s camp for the night! it’ll be well below freezing by morning but this spot should get the sun as soon as it comes up

one of the reasons I keep visiting "the internet" is the bad food photographs. in this one, the cauliflower gratin appears to be pink. it should not be pink. and this same horrible photo appeared in about 50% of the matches for my search.
