I hate food shaming posts where someone self righteously proclaims they live better for less. I worked for years cooking professionally. I'm one of the best chefs in my area and help my friends and neighbors cook. I can't miracle cheap food into existence.

Anyone else remember when our president brought gas prices down from the insane $3.50 from Biden's recovering economy? Our fearless dear orange leader and his holy crusade have brought mine down to $5.25 a gallon.

Not a bad haul. This doesn't include 20 ears I'm drying for seed. I enjoy harvesting the garden. I'm guessing my neighbor is growing glass corn. Mine is bantam.

When the bag claims that the Romaine lettuce was locally grown but it is iceberg lettuce, how can you possibly know? This small salad cost $4.49 and I feel cheated.

Thanks Trump for making it super expensive to fill up my Jeep. I wish your policies only affected the idiots that voted for you.

Going through modern training where policies are reviewed reminds me of how my dad used to quote scriptures while beating us children. I hate this crap. It's about policing thought and enforcement of sanctions for existing outside of their version of correctness.

Resistance is not about grandiose moments born in an instant moment. Resistance is about claiming small bits of power from people or systems that oppress, subjugate and dominate. Don't let them take away your power, the smallest act of defiance is good enough.

I'm loving the police radio today. Jackass in a white Tesla brake checking people managed to do so to an off duty officer. They're being followed by said officer until regular patrol units show up.

I absolutely love homemade caprese salad. The trick is to use quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I got this oil and vinegar from Saratoga Springs oils. Definitely better than store bought.

In 2010 I was in college as a freshman. My wife and I spent about $600 on food at Costco a 45min drive away from us. We'd load up two carts full of frozen foods and goods to get by for months. Now I have to spend that bi-weekly just to replace groceries used. I really worry about how everyone is.

My rooster has been very upset with me today. I was gathering eggs and while checking nests put my hand underneath him to get eggs. I'm convinced his squawking was a diatribe on "no means no, we've never even dated, etc.."

The problem with homemade kimchi is you want it to be fermented the day you make it.
A jar of cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro, ginger, garlic, in a solution of 3% salt with distilled water. A plastic bag with water sits atop the jar to make an airlock.Same as the other image but add Korean red pepper flakes and chopped Fresno peppers.

I ran across a comic today suggesting that teachers influence kids to be trans. Here's the scoop: If I could influence your child on something so strongly; they'd be reading and doing math at the college level while planning their career.

Everytime my neighbors think I'm a citified yuppie I inadvertently remind them I'm not. I'm a country boy at heart and a can do kind of man. They built up around me.

So my wife said no to incubating more chicks next week. Is it bad my immediate answer was "okay, you're right." While inside I made a mental note to ask her thoughts next Friday on starting more chicks?

I'm in a large virtual training. The presenter said "Don't let your students punk you." I must be naive as I had no idea students were pimping out teachers for trade or favors. I thought that was a prison thing. Students are humans and not all mistakes are an attempt to trick the teachers.

Well I am hen pecked now. I switched out fresh eggs with incubated ones but the hen didn't make it easy. She took three small chunks out of me through gloves. Just finishing day 15 so I expect to leave her alone for a week.

To the checker at the store today. The lady in front of me wasn't trying to cheat you out of money. The lady bought five gallons of milk meaning she likely has kids. I was happy to wait as she corrected every overcharge and handed coupons. She took the total bill from $320 to $285.

Sometimes I forget I'm no longer low socioeconomic status. Today at the gas station a police officer approached my blind spot and my natural reaction made him watch me very closely. Without thinking I waited until he left before checking out.

Doing my yearly trainings to be allowed to teach. Doing the one on child abuse every year always tweaks me and takes a few weeks to stop wanting to punch things. I say prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who hurts children.

When I was younger I got dragged to a faith healing service with Benny Hinn. I think I was 13. I got into trouble left and right for asking questions. These responses about speaking ill of the dead remind me of the attitude of those people who I asked questions of. Story below. Point made here.

Dear awesome Bsky users, I love the pics of foreign foods. Unfortunately someone posted pictures of an Egyptian breakfast. Now I want some, but fava beans are $10+ per lb. Please be kind to those of us who have an orange leader bent on elimination of non-white culture. Show more cultured food pics.

Cleaning and trimming chicken thighs isn't that complicated. Step 1 cut the small piece of tissue where the bone connected and lay it down with the skin side facing the board. Step 2 remove connective tissue, cartilage and bone pieces from the connection site. #Culinary101

A gloved hand has an index finger pointing at a small piece of tissue connecting the thigh just above a hole where the bone was removed during processing.The chicken thigh butterflied and laid flat skin side down. A gloved index finger points to the membrane where the bone was connected to the thigh. This sometimes has small bone chips, cartilage or silver skin and needs to be trimmed.

Every woman, man, & child that has been SA'd knows what it is to be dismissed. To be ignored. To be told the assaulter is more important to our friends & family than we are - to society in general. So miss me with your sympathy for Graham Platner. I've heard it all since I was a child.

Hens hate water. I couldn't get two hens to go into the coop. I have a great horned owl that loves my neighborhood as many owners allow their chickens to sleep outside. So when my birds refused to move, I got the hose. "It goes in the coop to save its skin, or it gets the hose again."

This Independence Day please join me in changing our thoughts from what we cannot do and where we should be, to helping others. When I get discouraged throughout the day I will wish for swift justice for all unprosecuted pedophiles. I will hope for a nation where money and power allow injustice.

I'm a lot less agitated after visiting the hardware store. I bumped into a former student who recognized me and told me I helped them feel smart in math. They're finishing their degree this fall. It's been ten years since I've taught them.

So I am agitated today. My wife asked me about building her another light fixture. I inspected the wiring of the light switch and am now upset. My home was built in 1996 and they didn't ground the switches or plate and it's a plastic box. This could kill someone.
Wiring done improperly showing what ground wire is there coated in paint. No ground wires to switches.
