Butter & Herb Roasted organic fingerling potatoes with a modified Tiktok Marry Me Chicken - tuscan-style herbed tomato cream sauce

I've been buying discounted near date foods. Try to use everything esp when it's the $5 mixed produce box.

Last night was TikTok Marry Me organic chicken breast. I used cherry tomatoes and tomato paste instead of sundried and org cream. Roasted org fingerlings for the side. It was fantastic!

For several years, I've been so sick with #MultipleMyeloma incl broken bones and treatment and I wasn't able to cook. This was a huge.

Cis men who are receiving gender affirming HRT should have a class or therapy requirement for how to handle their now very aggressive and high volume of feelings as well as a DV class. Did they forget what their 20-something T-levels were like?

In the 6 years of #MultipleMyeloma, one(+) of many cancer/support meds discolored my skin. Today, I tried dermaplaning. My face feels extra naked. Probably not my best idea, but I'm tired of the discoloration. And, this is a changeable bit of damage. The dysphoria of cancer body changes is too real.
