My father-in-law made us a delicious Pozole for dinner. It’s spicy enough that the roof of my mouth is on fire and I can now breathe fully through my nose.

We had a couple of warm days and now it’s cold again. I am thankful for my spouse who made this delightful soup. It’s his version of tortilla soup.

Made some killer refried beans this morning. Soaked pinto beans overnight. Cooked them with onion, garlic, Adobo spices, garlic powder, Kinders buttery chicken blend and added in some fiesta blend cheese at the end. They are unquestionably the best refried beans I have ever had.

Curried cream of carrot soup with honeyed goat cheese on sourdough. It feels wrong to post good food when the world is just so - unjust. But the world also offers joy. And it’s also important to memorialize joy, because it gives us something to strive towards. #food #joy

I live in an area that has a rich agricultural tradition. A few years ago, my community engaged in a marketing campaign to save our pollinators. This is the most butterflies, bees and lightning bugs I have seen in seven years! It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we all do our little part!

We inherited these dragon lilies when we bought our house. They’re super cool except for the smell. I imagine it’s what a corpse flower smells like. #plants #gardening #flowers

Rose Day at Colonial Park, NJ. It’s one of my favorite parks because it has this beautiful, free garden, a canal on which we walk, a playground, lakes and ducky paddleboats and a splash pad for little ones. The Parks Dept. does an outstanding job maintaining this absolute treasure. I ❤️ Central NJ.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want the world to look like. It’s a useful practice and it’s giving me a road map for what I can do to turn it in that direction. It’s all small and doable and within my control because it’s all in my corner of the world. Love to have a conversation around this.

Saw the movie Conclave this week; a masterful work. There is one scene in particular featuring a number of cardinals leaning forward that was reminiscent of a da Vinci painting. Ralph Finnes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Sergio Castellitto, Isabella Rosellini and Carlos Diehz were phenomenal.

Looks like shrinkflation is back. Bought all the same ingredients we always use to make Sausage, Pasta and Broccoli Rabe and it came out to about a third the size we normally make. So we are paying more for less. At least it’s delicious.
