no faith in humanity

whilst shopping the other day, i noticed a sticker from here in the window of a limited store. i thought... well thats odd. i wonder if someone threw that in the display and noone's noticed? then in huntington, i saw a poster advertising "iboco" with their artsy logo again.

now as it turns out, i could find christian owned chiropractors, fence installers, and even mortgage refinanciers. cos when youre trying to get a lower interest rate on your home loan, it is important to have the christian god on your side. i mean the only god. the one that made you in his image with the end purpose of hating everyone who believes otherwise and persecuting them for doing so. oh wait. that wasnt what he wanted?

oh yea. and jesus wanted to make sure your windows were cleaned by umm..not a jew or a muslim. and certainly god forbid [har har] not one of them heathen atheists who dont believe in nuthin...

horrified.

absolutely horrified.

cant ever go to texas.

garden update #3819

um HOLY SHIT things are actually growing! some of my tomato plants have been nibbled on though. i doubt by bunnies. i have not seen one singular live outdoor rabbit since moving to port jeff. i think it was kitties. that then probably barfed tomato leaves in the yard somewhere. but i digress.

switched out the trellis for the beans [green, purple, and soy] instead of the tomatoes. i read that either should do well on a trellis but since the beans are much faster growing [from seed even!] i figured they needed the height. i also planted zucchinis that may or may not make it and some itty bitty eggplants next to my yellowing ghost eggplant-plant from a nursery.

umm my sad peppers are still sitting there... with cucumbers planted adjacent.

lavender

flat leaf parsley

my herbs are doing surprisingly well. atleast the 4 pots that have holes in them. i noticed the half pot that is designed to sit against an inside window [key being inside] doesn't have any drainage holes and a such...with all the rain we get here my basils were literally floating in sludge. unplesant to say the least. but i added more soil on top and moved the pot onto the porch where it would be protected. problem is, now the pot is protected from the sun too. oops.

pink chocolate cake

well not exactly. chocolate cake with pink frosting and sugar. but it sounds better the other way right?

i abhor the word "moist" but the cake is damn good. and i cant make cakes from scratch. not enough patience and inability to measure small quantities accurately. due to impatience.

the puffy cake [before it fell OF COURSE]

the little uneven edgy bits that i ate and my frosting experiments

dun dunnnn final product! since the frosting [cream cheese] is so effing sweet i used as little as possible to even out the middle layer and just to decorate the top

i am definitely still a cook not a baker... but this is my first successful cake probably ever. i can bake cookies, brownies, and breads, but cakes. damn them usually.

memorial day cookout

our spread. minus the various types of meat cooked [chicken sausage, turkey burger, and bison burger.. no beef and no sketchy hot dogs] cos if that shit sits out in the sun...food poisoning ensues. but tomato avocado corn salad? delish. and smores.

romaine lettuce on charcoal smells like ganja. for real.

upside fresca is artsy and peachy

leah found a 4 leaf clover!

happy cat

i looked into my coffee cup, and what, pray did i see?
but a week old dirty happy cat, staring back at me!


turns out i should atleast rinse my coffee mug before a 3 day weekend...
