    Smoked meats forever: The day I stopped caring about how everything is toxic and doubled-down on mini turkey pepperoni

    Everything you worry and complain about would make your great-grandmother laugh and then retch: Let’s detail it, then go to the float tank and cry

    Meeting Q&As: There are no stupid questions, but please resist the allure of your voice and let us go about our treacherous-enough life paths

    1. Ah, but the adoration of 651 fans! (and if we each gave you a nickel, that’s over $30…think of all the Chex Mix)

      I assume there is a sign up list for these talks, but cannot find the link. Totally interested…totally! (especially 1,3,4,5 an then others near the bottom after I lost count because I was reading them and laughing again!)

    2. Zeca and I recently made scones from an Internet recipe and she told me that everyone at school has old family recipes and we get ours from the Internet. Our friend suggested she tell people she gets her recipes from Grandma Nettie. Seems like a brilliant plan, right? Also, where do I sign up for these talks? My heckling is getting rusty.

    3. I’m with Stephanie: “Do what you love and some likely not much money might eventually follow: How to work 8 years for 651 followers” is definitely something I’d watch.

      Also FTR I think crying in the float tank interrupts your chi or something. 🙂
