If you're interested in doing something different with your #tomato #harvest this season - check out #pottsvillerelish - my grandmother did not make it with cabbage, and I reduce the sugar from her original recipe by a LOT #canning #garden #cooking
Pottsville Relish
The "official" version of this has cabbage in it - but my grandmother only used onions, tomatoes, green peppers, salt, vinegar & sugar. R...

Eclipse update - his cleaning went very well and he had one tiny little broken tooth between his two front canines. Probably from eating endangered species. Valentino is next up and has been given a sedative because he was so freaked out. #siamese #blackcats #cats #blackcatranch
Are you an aspiring #prepper or #canner ? I've been #canning my own #tomatosauce for several decades. I learned about canning from my grandmother when I was in grade school. I forget how much this can look like overhead to some people so created this overview ahead of #tomato #harvest season.
Tomato Sauce - Equipment Essentials
If you are new to canning and curious about what kind of equipment you may need - here's an overview of what I use. Typically, I can 100-15...

Jojo had a late night killing off some endangered garter snakes in Burlingame. She finally decided to come up and check out the new blanket.
Valentino is shocked that anyone would accuse him of eating endangered birds in New Zealand. He was, in fact, smuggling drugs into NZ from South America. He only ate birds from the Amazon this week.
Mifepristone is safe and effective. Science supports continued telehealth access to this medication. We’re urging the 5th Circuit to reject Louisiana’s latest effort to force patients to obtain mifepristone in person. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

I know everyone’s afraid to hire Black women bc it might make a white man upset but I need some work. I have 5-figure medical debt, a cat that needs a vet appt 😿, a medically complex household, the usual bills that come with adulthood, and I’d love to get good skincare again 😩 HIRE ME.
Tony may look like a cute kitten, but he’s really a relentless killing machine back from destroying endangered species of birds while snorkeling in Belize - obviously he’s really tired.

Simón is a time traveler and part of a Cabal that is responsible for the destruction of the passenger pigeon in United States. Every so often he he’ll bring back a dead passenger pigeon from the 18th century. #blackcats
don’t be fooled by the camouflage! Valentino is not the only cat sitting on this #blackcat throw there are also two #blackcats on here. And the one in the middle may be small, but she is the most lethal, almost 16 years old she has killed at least 200 diff endangered species
Eclipse #blackcat camouflage— plotting the destruction of endangered species that are also delicious

Underneath solar panels, plants grew much more and used less water, "Chiltepin pepper plants produced three times as much fruit as those grown in full sun. Jalapenos matched their usual harvest while using 65 percent less water. Tomatoes grown under the array came in at twice the normal yield."

The bathroom key at my doctor’s office is on a large plastic spoon. Of course I couldn’t help myself and then had to explain “The Tick” to the two office staff. Next time I will tell them about invaders in.

I brought in a flat of sparkling water. Guess who tried chewing open a can? Valentino, the Siamese Tony, Orange Seamonster, Black And yes, multiple cats were definitely surprised when they can hissed at them and hate them with water. It was hilarious. #blackcats #cats #gingerproblems
as a Californian heading to LACon in a few weeks, am I the only one who is planning to collect 20 public library cards along the way? If I don’t have a total of 50 library cards by September, I will have failed. @hugobookclub.bsky.social are you in California? Want hit some libraries in LA with me?
here Tony demonstrates that I truly are the windows to the soul or to your brains and as you can see, it looks kind of empty in there. I mean, he is #orange after all. #fullydilated
I can’t be expected to get up and feed the cats if I’m being held down like this, right?
