Dudes. The past three days have been full of Nyquil, wine, and Christmas decorations. That sounds like we mixed Nyquil and wine and then put up decorations, but we did not.

Last night we made fajitas for dinner, and I chopped up extra peppers and onions to make a veggie fajita for lunch. Then I decided that adding some protein to [...]

I keep finding really hard curds in my cottage cheese and each time I examine it to make sure it’s not a fingernail or a rock or something. That would really put a damper on my delicious snack time. So far it’s just been a weirdo curd. No foreign objects detected.
