Polk is a mighty hunter. Dearborn is…well, she’s special.
Throwback to when the cryptids were just emerging from kittenhood and Dearborn hadn’t yet learned how to use the brakes.
[ID: A video with only ambient sound of Polk the tabby, paws clenched on a blanket that is bumping up and down with my hand underneath it; she has several reactions to various movements, trying to “capture” what’s under the blanket, until at the last second she is bowled out of frame by Dearborn the tortie running directly into, and then over, her.]

WELL IT DAMN WELL DOES NOW.
I'm not sure of the timing -- the Welsh were arriving in 1700 or so and I'm not sure of the timeline for coal mining in specific, although of course there has been mining in Wales since prehistory. (Though probably not oggies.)
But there's been a strong relationship between Wales and Askazer-Shivadlakia since Welsh soldiers first settled there, as evidenced by the Shivadh-to-Cardiff-University pipeline. I would imagine there's been a steady trickle of immigration back and forth that has cross-pollinated quite a bit.
Looking at the recipe, I think it would be fairly easy to make kosher -- just sub in olive oil for the butter and lard in the crust -- and onions-and-potatoes are a staple of some branches of Jewish cuisine to start with, not to mention lamb.
Makes me want to do a story about some restaurant in Fons-Askaz like Lito's Empanadas here in Chicago -- a small storefront that does oggies stuffed with all kinds of different fillings, traditional and seafood and pizza and sweet dates. Great drunk food I bet.
Yknow? Food was one of the things I associated most with summer fun. From the cotton-candy from the carnival to the carrotcake my mom would make. I'm sure others have their own snacks or drinks they like to relax with, so We're curious about yours!Summer foods for me tend to be associated with either fairs or specific road trips.
Challenge #3:
Journaling prompt: What are your favorite summer-associated foods?
Creative prompt: Draw art of or make graphics of summer foods, or post your favorite summer recipes.
The sun is just starting to disappear behind the horizon and crickets can almost be heard over the music and the laughter echoing through the carnival night. You can't see any stars yet, but the twinkling lights of an amusement ride are highlighting the graceful curves of a swan boat and the high arching hearts of the entrance. Grab the hand of a sweetheart or a sweet friend and embark on a journey through the…Sentiment and love are…weird for me. Heart pumping is much easier, but that's usually related to fear and anxiety than happiness.
Challenge #2:
Tunnel of Love
Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.
Creative: Write a love poem to anyone or anything you like.
