Reminds me of the time a roommate's black cat knocked a bag of flour off the counter onto the floor.

There was a scattering of flour on the floor and pawprints in it... but which of the four cats in residence were responsible?

In the living room, the black cat was sitting and acting chill, not looking at us. And his whole front was covered in flour.

For cider, I use whole allspice berries, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise, slices of fresh ginger, plus slices of lemon and orange.

Sometimes a bit of bourbon and a little brown sugar.

Some recipes include cardamom and nutmeg, too.

Zero concentration today.
Not even "easily distractible" levels. I can't focus on anything to begin with, so I can't be distracted from it.

My brain is just kind of bobbing around aimlessly.

@GNious

Excellent word for today

I just ordered a bottle of The Pathfinder (a hemp-based NA "spirit"), plus some sparkling water, oranges, and limes. I have lemons on hand. I'm going to experiment with it tonight.

It's a little pricey, but I've read that it's a good replacement for an amaro.

I'm also going to make a walnut-mushroom pate and spinach-fennel soup with lemony chickpeas. (If I have the energy.)

Yes, it's very much the same fears and the same shortsightedness.

Also note that "fairness in athletic competitions" is dogwhistle for scary trans women.

This is the Texas mindset:

XX said unauthorized immigration at the border is her top issue. ”It’s terrifying. I’ve got grandchildren now,” she said. “We’ve already got crazy people around everywhere. If they want to come over, do it the right way. More people is better. I love that.” She’s also unhappy about high food costs.

YY voted a straight Republican ticket for two primary reasons. ”The border number one. And the economy,” Another concern, he said, was fairness in athletic competitions.

One of example of Republican bizarre double-think is Cruz saying Allred isn't "Texan" enough.

Bitch, Allred is a fourth generation Texan.

You are a Canadian import and your dad was born in Cuba.

I support immigrants being in office. But the hypocrisy is wild.

Completely agree. There's a good chance Allred will win today, and that will show Texans that change is possible.

Oh, and sexuality rights, too! (I knew I was forgetting something.)

It's absolutely core.
Bodily autonomy also includes trans rights, medical rights, prisoner's rights, and worker's rights.
