I think it was @tressiemcphd.bsky.social who said something about making sure to work on ankle stability. Boy, is she right! I rolled my ankle (while wearing clogs!) at work on Friday, but I think bc of the balance work I do, I didn’t fall & it was only sore for a few days! Take care of your feet!

Braised pork belly!! Will pull meat out of sauce and refrigerate separately so I can crisp up the meat in a pan tomorrow and get some of the fat out of the sauce as it separates. Served tonight (not crisp) on white rice with broccoli, scallions, avocado and cilantro. Cucumbers would be great too!

Not sure what was in town tonight but the restaurant was SLAMMED (including A, someone who went to Vegas with my Dad (who has been dead since 2014, and I grew up 1500 miles away from here), B, a medical emergency at my table that required EMS). Made a kimchi egg sandwich for dinner just now. So yum!

14 years ago today, my whole life changed. Found out my husband (during a time we were actively trying to conceive) was cheating on me. He was out within 48 hours (my doing). I was devastated. For years. But since then I’ve moved back here, bought a house, gotten a doctorate and rebuilt my life. 😁

I’m setting my alarm earlier than usual tomorrow. I’m making dinner for a friend who has 2 babies under the age of 2. She texted to say it’s easiest for her to pick up at noon (instead of me delivering later). The focaccia I’m making has a 3.5 hr ferment. Glad to be able to feed her family!

I have lived away from MA longer than I lived there (the first 18 years of my life). I don’t often think (nor am I told) I have a New England accent any more, but then I watch these videos where everyone is commenting on this man’s accent, and I don’t hear one… lol.

Hello Mr. (Or Ms.?) cicada!!! They showed up on my screen last night. I tried to get a photo of it last night but it flew towards me and I screamed. Sorry to my neighbors! Lol. But they were still there this morning, so I was able to get a good shot. Cool looking thing! Nature is metal. #nolasky

Ok, today is day 4 post topical chemo for skin precancers and cancers. 2nd time I’ve had to do it (last in 2023), this reaction will last a few more days. My neck hurts really badly, but I know it will get better. But take this seriously, friends! Protect your skin and wear sunblock, please!

Interesting!! This was just delivered to my house from SWB. I didn’t request it, so I’m not sure who they are sending them out to. But I will be very interested in my results. I installed a whole home filtration and reverse osmosis system, so we will be good to see what’s still showing up #nolasky

At 4 pm today I realized I had only had a protein drink, an iced coffee and a banana. No wonder I felt bad!! So I made some ramen for dinner. The pre-made broth from Costco is good!! Soft boiled egg, shrimp, garlic chives, local corn, sesame oil.

There is a helicopter just hanging out overhead for the past 2.5 hrs. Too far away to see what it is, but definitely not coast guard and I don’t think Ochsner, so I’m guessing NOPD and they’re looking for someone in Broadmoor!

She is getting her allotted 5 minutes in the sun to bake so that she doesn’t file an HR complaint against me, but I have the timer on. She will not be pleased, but sadly she is not reasonable enough to know we should not lay on hot concrete in the middle of the day when it’s 92 degrees out.

If anyone else like me buys salad greens at Costco in New Orleans (specially the Revol organic greens big box) they seem to be safe from this outbreak, as they’re grown inside a greenhouse in MN and not connected to Taylor farms. Love, your salad loving neighbor!

"Sailors with shaving-related conditions will get one year of medical treatment to meet the Navy’s clean-shaven face standard, or they will be removed from the service" When policies on their face appear race-neutral but will actually result in inequities. But this one is actually quite obvious.

Ok, I have absolutely nothing to compare it to bc I am not a gyro connoisseur (I usually get chicken shawarma) but this pre-packaged gyro meat from Costco is good!! Sautéed it up, made some tzatziki, added to lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, hummus, picked onions and feta. Quite yummy!!
