I was a workplace-appropriate goth for the costume contest at the office yesterday. Didn’t win anything, but I had fun!

Last night’s dinner: Miso butter* chicken thighs on a salad made of iceberg lettuce, clover and radish sprouts, cucumber chunks, and chopped parsley, topped with homemade carrot ginger dressing. Garlicky mukimame on the side. (*I used Miyoko’s brand vegan butter for this.)

A sweet old doggo. ♥️

Little juniper enjoying some sunlight ☀️

Homemade Puerto Rican picadillo empanadas. To die for, OMG.

Summertime is nearly here in Arizona. ☀️🌵

Citrus season in Arizona is back. The air smells like orange blossoms everywhere. Heavenly.

Protect trans people. (Love, respect, and support trans people, too.)

A decent first attempt at making abelskivers. Mind you, it was at two or three o’clock in the morning last Thursday, so I only sort of remember making these.

Leftover nabe from yesterday’s dinner for today’s lunch.
