While I’d hoped to write a post celebrating surviving another fiscal year, last night casa de Lawson was hit with some bad news: my grandmother (and final remaining grandparent) died yesterday afternoon, late. I am in no mood today.
Unfortunately, here, the temperature isn’t going down any time soon. Posting light, because it’s also coming up on the end of the fiscal year.
No funny pictures to go along with this post. Trump didn’t go after or correct a man (who sounded drunk?) that asserted our current President is a Muslim, and that we were having problems with Muslims.

Creating something new, combining flavors to get just the right taste, and improving on the recipes every time. There’s something… Read more »
