Yellowstone’s Rip — be my man
Cole Hauser as Rip on the TV series, Yellowstone I’ve been binging Yellowstone S5 Pt. 1 this weekend. It’s a new release from the library so can only borrow it for a week (close to 2 dozen people are waiting for it) which means I gotta do it. Don’t feel sorry for me though, because…

Doodads — strawberry rhubarb pie
My grandparents had rhubarb plants and grandma used to make strawberry rhubarb pie. Although I don’t remember eating it as a kid, when I ate my first bite of this pie, I remembered the flavors. The rhubarb was cut out of my plant. The strawberries are store bought and not very tasty. The crust and…
