Also communal baths and shithouses, and tbh I don't want to go back to that either.

The thing about little free libraries is they are one of the last places left where you can't choose ahead or guarantee an outcome. You just get what you get.

It was the 60s so based on the Byrne Arena reference before your time, but also undoubtedly I remember it bc I wanted to go so badly and my parents just never did stuff like that.

Aaaaand-- I found the poster!

Irony part: I ended up as a figure skating coach with a national competitor daughter lol.

It was the poster of the skater whose skates were toe shoes. Since I never went either to the Ice Capades or skating I was like 20 when I realized this couldn't possibly be.

And thus is a precious childhood myth preserved.

I literally put off doing my taxes this year bc I couldn't bear to concede my share to those monsters.

But tomorrow's adulting is voting, so I figure that balances it out.

Taxes done! Predicted my self-employment taxes pretty nearly to the dollar, so not much refund but also I earned the interest on the money I didn't squirrel away with the feds.

I confess, I sneak cross the border to the town that doesn't have a plastic bag ban for this explicit purpose. And I always ask them to double bag.

You know the worst part of ChatGPT? That my fucking client thinks it's better than writing than I am and routinely just destroys my work. Really hope she's not telling people I wrote that garbage.

Spicy Pear and Cilantro Salsa Spicy Pear and Cilantro Salsa: This inspired fruit salsa is great with pita chips or paired up with your favorite cooked meats.

Well, the salmon is just "I guess this works?" but I based the salsa on this: themom100.com/recipe/spicy...

Salmon braised in coconut milk and cilantro, with pear salsa and basmati rice. Took about 20 minutes chop to chew. I don't understand people who don't cook.

I keep imagining what if we replaced each tacky gold bling with a Keith Haring figure.

No guesses (okay I guessed but not a MN'n) but anyway, there was a whole blog years ago of 3 ingredient meals* that I used all the time; lost the URL and never been able to find it again. (They had a fruit leather recipe that was aMAZing)

*yes 3IM come up when you google, this was not that
