This might seem like a crazy request but I have a childhood friend meeting up with her cousin in New Orleans & they are looking for a β€œreputable psychic or medium” to deal with some β€œunfinished business with a few dead people.” They are coming in for Krewe du Vieux. Send me suggestions please.

Naked phones freak me out too but I do have a habit of always buying a white phone when available so I have a clear apple case.

I got my Ms Kitt when she was around 1 year old maybe a little younger with FIV, a few years later she wasn’t testing + any more & she lived to about 14 yrs old. We miss her!

We went to New Harmony High polling location to vote for Erica Johnson for the Crescent Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Board of Supervisors at 10 am on June 14, 2025 and we were turned away. There were no ballots left. There are limited polling locations #votersuppressionisreal

In the annals of NO power outages, no rain no wind and no power in our little corner of the 7th Ward.

This story is absolutely FOREVER. Remembering the year we had 3 different schools between 5 kids and 3 different spring break schedules

And in true MSY dysfunction the baggage carousels are out of service and they are manually handing bags through the oversized baggage pickup

It’s difficult, much of what is going on affects what we do directly & people we work with in the US & Lat Am. And there’s so much not being reported on. Literal throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks.

Same. Big fan of your podcast & discussion about race for chair of the dems. How can we send y’all an email?

I’ve started ordering more directly in the Shopify app. Am sure there’s some issue with that platform

Probably one of the best Gen X references I’ve seen. Loved β€œEddie & the Cruisers” & had the soundtrack on cassette & vinyl.

One more suggestion- warm the buttermilk to room temp or microwave to take off the chill.

The original recipe also had vanilla & nutmeg but was not liked by my kids at all so not in my version.
I think the AP/whole wheat combo is key. And real buttermilk, not powdered. (Have tried that too)

My challenge is always to let the griddle really heat up on medium and to be patient when cooking the first side. Can easily be doubled.

Mix dry ingredients in 1 bowl. Mix eggs, then melted butter & buttermilk in other. Pour wet into dry, mix, let sit to bubble a bit (10-30 minutes). When ready to make pancakes add water to consistency you like. I used a nonstick griddle over my middle but we or front & back burners.
