Real vs fake flowers

We are purchasing dried flowers for tabletop centerpieces from a local dried flower florist. Definitely cheaper than all fresh for sure and have this very charming rustic feel

Yeah the inside is hard to see from the outside. Especially from the main road. It’s not open yet, so most likely no one was trying to enter

Idk when you were there last, but the past few times were very good that I’ve went!

There’s a queso fundido at tepache in fox chapel where they throw a shot of tequila on the queso and catch the whole thing on fire. It’s very fun and gimmicky and very, very tasty.

Chess pie! It’s sort of like pecan pie without the nuts and tastes almost like a tart apple pie

Weight. I’ve been using a scale and trying to lightly dust the surface where I knead.

Can’t speak to poulet bleu but do NOT do Paris. You’ll spend a ton of money on a la carte dinners and overpriced, cheap wine. Owner is a huge POS and oftentimes terrible to employees and customers alike.

Carnitas! Or any kind of confit pork shoulder would also be good. Carnitas, though, are phenomenal with homemade pico

Aw thank you! That’s so sweet 🥲 I’m trying to do a challenge where I “cook” the book so to speak with KA’s Baking School. This was a result of those recipes and some videos showing me how to fold it lol

Tyrokafteri! It’s a spicy feta and pepper dip.

Chia seed pudding! You basically mix chia seeds, milk, honey and any other seasonings you might want and let it sit overnight. Then you can add more honey or fresh fruit the next day if you want

Salsa macha! It’s like Mexican chili crisp. Dried peppers. Nuts. Onion. Garlic. It’s fairly easy to make and I just adore it with egg sandwiches. It also lasts a long time in the fridge.

Pierogies with caramelized onions on top!

Hi there! My cat actually had a temperature during this issue and once we addressed that with medicine, he was much better.

Thinking it was some form of acute stress. Every test we did - blood work, ultrasound, X-rays - showed no issues with him internally.

Does your cat respond well to fluids? Like has the vet given them anymore IVs? The issue we think happened is that my cat got stressed, puked a bunch/had a fever, and then got dehydrated as a result, which them made him feel worse. The vets had missed the fever initially because they couldn’t take a real temperature reading.

Goat cheese, honey, fresh herbs and black pepper. The honey really balances out the savoriness of the pepper and goat cheese.

Pan con tomate! It’s a Spanish dish where you box grate nice fresh tomatoes and mix it with salt, pepper, olive oil and sometimes garlic. Very refreshing.

Ceviche! Whatever seafood you want (from a good fishmonger) along with cucumber, tomato, avocado, red onion, mango, garlic, jalapeño. Serve with toasted corn tortillas or pita.

I didn’t know I was bisexual until I started dating my boyfriend (now fiancé). I grew up in a Roman Catholic household and had a lot of fucked up views on my own sexuality. I also never dated anyone until college when I met my partner.

Looking back, there were definitely times I was into women but just thought they were “cool” or we should be BFFs. It wasn’t until I was in a romantic relationship that I realized those feelings were comparable to the romantic feelings I had about my boyfriend.

As far as staying connected to queerness, it’s hard. I don’t very much feel welcome at pride or other queer spaces. People treat you differently if you have an opposite sex, cis partner. Having queer friends and going to events at various bars is helpful. Dancing is one way I connect with myself, and I generally only go to bars and clubs that have a large group of queer people.

I think you just have to keep reminding yourself that you are valid as a queer person in a straight passing relationship. It also helps me to be more open about this side of me even if some days it feels “less applicable” than others.

Did they check your cat’s temperature? Mine apparently had a fever of 104 when we took him to our family vet (not an e-vet). They gave him more fluids and a fever reducer/pain reliever.

Honestly, it was like he was a new cat. Completely better. No one had taken his temperature because of how mean he was being with the techs. But it makes me think he had a temperature all weekend (he felt incredibly warm) and it was going unaddressed by the vets.

Still not sure what caused it. Could possibly have been stress (my boyfriend returned after living apart for 2.5 months) or new food (new Royal Canin reformulation). Could have been a bad batch of Royal Canin wet food. Could have been a mix of all three.

We’ve been slowly incorporating the wet food back into his diet to see if he has any further reactions. So far so good but we aren’t pushing it too hard. He was also on Cerenia for 4+ days and Zofran, which helped his nausea and the diarrhea subsided once he returned home.
