Happy birthday! I have two options I default to for my birthday. Either a big breakfast for dinner or what I call Nostalgia Dinner. Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes with salt and pepper on the side, four vegetables (always butter or Lima beans, green beans, collard greens, black eyed peas, etc) and a small pork chop.

I’ll have to mention that to my friend. She just got started raising ducks this year. And now I’m a convert to duck eggs over chicken eggs. Haha

Sounds delicious! It was also cool to hear about the, um, extra bits and how they'll be used. I'd never heard the feet could be used like that.

Yup. Got rid of Netflix a few months ago and got rid of Hulu live about a month ago.

Earlier this year a few things sprouted in pots I had outside. I was excited and curious. Eventually I asked my mom and she said they were trees. Whoops.

I received an unexpected apology almost 20 years after the fact. I had long since moved on and had no hard feelings for the person.

Before that apology, I was like most people who thought an apology like that would feel selfish or self-serving for the person giving the apology. Instead, it felt very genuine and weirdly made me feel a little better about humanity. Like, if this person can grow and come out the other side a better, happier person, then more people can too.
