Perfect home for a retired sled dog - especially one that has been in love with you for a while.

You can use them anywhere you would use a red onion too. I personally love pickles - made these the other day.

You can add salt and pepper of other seasoning but it is not necessary.

If you don’t want to grill them, make quick pickles. Chop up a Visalia onion, add equivalent amounts of chopped or sliced cucumber and tomato. Bring 1 cup apple cider vinegar and 2 tbsp brown sugar to a boil. Pour over vegetables in a non-reactive bowl. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Handed hour 140 fans with information about how to sign up for a new emergency alert system at the Freedom 5K this morning, took myself out to breakfast and went to Home Depot. Admired my bee balm. How is your day so far?

So sorry - my daughter was very happy that a Nepalese restraint opened near her apartment building right before her shoulder surgery so when she got tired of the food she had in the freezer she could order from them and have it delivered.

I am having potato gratin with morels, roasted carrots, baked trout and a cucumber/sweet onion/tomato salad while watching my dogs chase squirrels in my boyfriend’s yard. Political elites are missing out.

I am not talking about statistics at all. I am talking about the ways that state ballot access works in a Presidential election. It is not possible to have a DEM candidate other than Biden on state ballots in 2024 if the filing deadline is passed.

At the same time they squeezed margins on wholesalers and now grocers can’t figure out why they no longer get the service and marketing support that they once did which makes shopping a worse experience for consumers, making them notice prices more.

He is the only Democratic candidate that is going to be on the ballot in a lot of states because the filing deadlines are past so either you support him or you are working to elect Trump.

He is not alone. My father spent decades perfecting a latke recipe that makes absolutely perfect potato pancakes only to have grandchildren who do not like potato pancakes.

I was happy to fill out the survey from Lennie’s canine cardiologist today. I did not need 5 messages from the vet asking me to post a Yelp or Google Review for walking in their office and picking up medication for Gail.

He, or whoever wrote the posts, is so focused on the removing Biden part they seem to have missed that they are advocating for a Black woman President.

I have started to think about Sen Durbin in these terms. He has some worthy successors lined up and could have helped one of them run for Senate but instead he ran for another term and does not seem to be equal to the task at hand or our times.

Mike Lee is so lacking in self awareness that I am sure he didn’t realize many of his posts yesterday were advocating for the first Black woman President of the US to take office.

13 children are starving to death in Sudan each day, Haiti is being run by criminal gangs with a high daily death rate, and there are conflicts all over the world - some of them have been going on for decades. Why is are only Palestinians important to you?

Biden’s early answers about abortion were rage inducing to me based on friends experiences with medically issues late in much wanted pregnancies, but he is still a better than someone who lies and can’t answer a question like Trump.

He was trained to hunt raccoons and is not afraid of anything. Gail treats him as though he is sacrificial and lets him test out anything she is afraid of.

It is complicated but the permanent refugees after some tried to overthrow the government with nowhere else to live but without a path to citizenship or the same rights as citizens is fairly close to apartheid.
