The last of the pancetta that I found in Sonoma last October. Crisping it up to use in a recipe.


I made life choices early on they insured that I won’t be rich. There were also circumstances that contributed. My Dad had an illness plus a little malfeasance by others consumed his estate. He had planned trickle down. We will be be comfortable enough and are content.


Don’t use TikTok, never did. I see TikTok videos linked and embedded on other platforms, but don’t really care if it stays or goes away. I realize there are people who make a living there, just like they did on Twitter. It’s all a game for keeping people in their site.
