My father is coming home from the hospital this afternoon after 48 hours. Thankfully, this does not seem to have been a serious issue. While there may be no logic to this statement: I am not impressed with 2026, so far.

Sunrises have been beautiful as well. I should get a picture but I have been too drowsy.

Might I suggest:

The utensils and napkin are a $10k upcharge.... along with an entry into a raffle to play barefoot pattycake with a masked forager.

Who is going to the $1,500 per person meal in LA?

Soon enough, don't worry. There's plenty of loose nuclear material out there. Don't give up hope.

Beautiful colors on that plate @MitchW

Kung Pao and Steamed Broccoli last night.

Are you suggesting that celebrity chefs sell their reputations to hawk inferior products and dupe consumers into believing things like Gordon Ramsey swears by Hexclad????

I have theories.

Looks great!
