Imbolc the Waiting to Cross Moon<\/p>\n
Wednesday gratefuls: Tara. Pronounced Terra. Feelings. Sadness. Joy. Confidence. Trust. Vincent coming home. Her invitation to the second night Seder.\u00a0 Aspen Perks. Poor food but a good place to eat. Quiet. That perky waitress. Kep. An early nudger today. My son. A joy. Becoming Native to This Place. Seeing Like a State. The Reason Liberalism Failed. Christian Nationalism. The changing state of our State.<\/p>\n
Sparks of Joy and Awe: A deep friendship<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tara. Whose name I pronounce as I read it. Tar-ah. But who pronounces it as she was given it, Terra. Gotta learn to say this. Hard. I pronounce as I read something. Not always right. Difficult to change.<\/p>\n
We spent an hour plus talking. About her son Vincent who may return from a long stay in New York City next month. About my cancer. About Yamantaka. About matters of the heart. Tara has a profound honesty I appreciate.<\/p>\n
She invited me to her second night seder. Her daughter, Julia, has college friends who want to come. So there will be a crowd. Glad to go. In this case I’m going to suck up my caution about covid. I’m tired of it anyhow. Still, it lingers and the in-person attendance at the Purim spiel on Monday suggests I’m not the only one.<\/p>\n
Friends. Near and far. So happy to have them in my life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CT scan today. To establish targets for my radiation. Five sessions. Two next week and three the week after. I hope it’s the same crew. I liked them. Kind. Caring. Not exactly looking forward to this, but it’s important. The drive is an hour both ways. That’s a hassle. And, there are non-trivial risks. What I choose to do with this one wild and precious life of mine. Keep it as long as I can.<\/p>\n

Still playing around with the Chatbot. I made a potato and kale soup last night with chorizo. It blew up the roof of my mouth with its spiciness. Gonna take it tonight to MVP. What to do?<\/p>\n
That sounds like a delicious soup!😋 According to web sources<\/a>1<\/sup><\/a>2<\/sup><\/a>3<\/sup><\/a>4<\/sup><\/a>5<\/sup><\/a>, some ingredients that are commonly used in kale and potato soup with chorizo are:<\/p>\n You could try adding more of these ingredients to your soup to reduce the spiciness. Alternatively, you could add some sour cream or cheese on top of your soup for a creamy contrast. Or you could add some lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy touch.<\/p>\n I hope this helps you enjoy your soup more. Let me know how it turns out.<\/p>\n A chatty response from Auntie Sydney. I can’t use any dairy because that violates kosher. No dairy and meat in the same dish. Really, the same meal. Gonna add more chicken broth. Then some vinegar if that doesn’t do the trick.<\/p>\n Can’t believe I’m using Microsoft search. It’s been so bad for so long. But, there you go. I did notice that I got ten queries this time. Wonder if they’re gradually upping the limits of the conversations.<\/p>\n I do like that it gives you the sources it uses. Not the same as evaluating them, but then that’s the reader’s task. As it always is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imbolc the Waiting to Cross Moon Wednesday gratefuls: Tara. Pronounced Terra. Feelings. Sadness. Joy. Confidence. Trust.
