I picked up dumplings and noodles on the way home. I thought about sesame balls, but did not get them. Now to watch some Josh Johnson on YouTube, doesn’t get much more festive than this.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It was very cold and very rainy and yet I walked the Pilates and suffered and trudged back through the rain.
To soothe my soul I made a yummy soup with beef and onion stock and broiled sausages, mushrooms, turkey meatballs, broccoli, cauliflower and spinach. Then I stirred in a spoonful of chili crisp and it was perfect. Lots of protein, some veg and filling despite the lack of noodles.

Mm mm good!
I will be eating leftover dumplings and noodles at least through tomorrow and maybe into Thursday, so that’s working out well.

Well geez. My friend’s gf who is only 30 has stage 3 breast cancer. A year ago she went to the doctor and they were like “nah that’s a cyst” and lately my friend was like “no that’s bigger now” and she went back and they were like oh I suppose we can biopsy it…oof.
