Team butter!

Is that the one with the old guy and his apple orchard? That one haunts me.

I plant them on purpose. The flowers make a lovely jelly that tastes like honey and sunshine, and the leaves are tasty in salads or soups just like spinach.

I have school stress dreams still too! I don't know where my locker is, don't have my schedule or know what class I'm on my way to, forgot my books, etc.. It's so stressful! High school was a long time ago, our brains need to move on! 😂

Canned beans and tomatoes, because it's always a good time for chili. I love those instant packets of Indian-style lentils or the 3-minute "boil in the bag" Japanese curry. I always keep a good stash of several types of rice.

Totally fine with my husband - I won't do it if sharing with anybody else. Current fave is Sour Cream & Cheddar chips dipped in sour cream.

Hooray, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for the review on my site too, that means the world to me :)

WoT for me. The show-haters are so mean about it. They seem unable to let people enjoy something they don't personally enjoy. It made me too sad and angry, and I blocked most of the groups and hashtags. Still my fave series though.
