For tonight’s #blueskysupperclub I would like to present hubby’s oopsie mashed potatoes — six red potatoes, a tablespoon of butter, and a cup and a half of milk.

I was a ballot runner for Santa Clara County (San Jose, CA). After polls closed I’d collect ballots from two precincts and bring them to a central location. I was impressed with how well organized everything was but STUNNED at the number of cars there and how many ballots needed counting.

I haven’t had sushi in at least two months, the first because it had been a while and the second because of the whole possible sesame allergy thing. I don’t want to risk being exposed until I know for sure. So hubby made (cooked) salmon and crab salad sushi with carrots! #blueskysupperclub

How it started vs. how it’s going Garden Edition
My two-tiered garden overgrown with weeds with two blue pots with dead basil in the center of the upper tier. Upper half of my garden planted with beans, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and seeds for spinach and peas. Lower tier of the garden planted with purple pot, zucchini, spinach, and seeds for beets, radishes, and more peas. The blue pots are in the far end of the garden and now have strawberries in them.

The crust stuck to it in the middle! 😭 That hasn’t happened before. Otherwise the taste was great and it wasn’t undercooked in the middle like usual.

After a rainy end to the day and (temporary?) diet restrictions for sesame, I came home and made a chicken, jalapeño, mac n cheese, and mozzarella pizza from scratch. #blueskysupperclub

More twisties today because I didn’t want to go back over the weekend to shut off the kiln. Red and rubino oro are striking colors and will be darker when actually used in beads.

Hubby comes in from grilling chicken and announces, “It smells like pea in here.” Why, yes. Yes it does. #blueskysupperclub

Walnuts have always bothered me too, so I need to not eat those. Probably shouldn’t eat cashews either. Maybe I should stop eating, lol. Sigh. 😔 (4/4)

After last night’s millet allergy disaster, I decided to have a sesame bagel this morning. My throat started feeling funny after a few minutes, so in the trash it went. If sesame is out, sushi is out and I could cry. I’m violently allergic to figs as well. (3/4)

with the birds and their food. Two other thoughts. 1. Since I’m a frequent flier at the ED (bug bite, fell and hit my head) this one should be free. Right? 2. It was nice that the EMT and doctor were female and the nurse was male. (2/4)

Guess who has two thumbs and is *seriously* allergic to millet? 👍🏻THIS GIRL!!!👍🏻 😁 After an ambulance ride and 6 hours in the ED last night, I finally slept… for 4 hours. I’ll have to read food labels very carefully from now on, carry an epi-pen, and do something different (1/4)

Yep, I had many a sinus infection in my youth (well, before Covid anyway) and lost my sense of taste and smell maaaaaany times. Three words of advice: Don’t. Eat. Chocolate. 🤢

Yesterday I watched an amazing glass blowing demonstration by charismaforu at Stoked CT and was just blown away by his skill, creativity, and willingness to discuss what he was doing and teach us about the process. Now I can’t sleep lol.

What do you eat when there’s no dinner plan? You raid the pantry and freezer! Salmon from Costco, rice and beans from A Dozen Cousins, and frozen peas. #BlueSkySupperClub

I won’t lie, today’s show was tough. Nearly an hour and a half away, lots of lookers, surrounded by pitch booths, chilly day. But a little girl for earrings for her first communion, another girl got a beautiful plumeria necklace and earring set, someone got a Czech glass spike necklace AND

My jar of bead release was getting a little clumpy on the bottom so I brought it home to stir it. I forgot it at home and ran out of dipped mandrels Monday. Oops! Instead of calling it a day I made twisties that actually turned out ok! It’s tough melting to the core on a Nortel Minor, but it worked.

I made another video/reel! A local radio station, WZBG in Torrington, made a radio ad (I collaborated on the copy) and is running it for four weeks. So I edited a little video I took of the booth when I restocked last week and put the radio ad on it. Ta-da!!! What do you think? 😁
