CSA, chili and our local pub.

.

Our weekly CDA is winding down for the year, but the harvest is still plentiful.

.

.

Peppers, turnip, ginger, Korean melon, spinach, salad greens, kohlrabi, radishes, chard, celery, dill and yes. Some awful version of kale.

Our weather has started to change and we’re feeling some delightfully brisk and crisp air. When that happens?

.

.

It’s time for a big pot of homemade chili. And a trip to our local pub.. at an off hour when no one is there. Perfect.

.

.

On the menu? Duck wings with sweet Thai chili sauce.

.

.

Tis the season.

.

.

And thanks in part to my suggestion… okay my endless badgering, whatever!… the owner has agreed to run weekly cocktail specials. He even bought a lovely coffee table book of choices for me to peruse.

.

.

Keep the customers happy.

And the really good customers like me? Keep them soused, they complain less that way.

.

You know I have to share these things.

.

I do. Even though I’m sure you’d rather I didn’t.

.

.

Yes, this exists. Though I think they’re wrong about the Olympic event.

And if you’re thinking…. that’s great River, but I don’t really care for cereal?

I’ve got your back.

.

.

Pooping Champion Gummies.

.

.

And tea.

You’re welcome.

But if that’s not enough to get you excited about this oh so helpful product? Visit their website and check out the fabulous club you can join.

.

.

Now tell me you don’t want to be a card carrying member of that!

.

Because some things are best left unexplored.

.

Facebook ads. They’re never ending and annoying and I pay them very little mind.

.

.

Yes, I like Hint water… but don’t need to see daily videos.

.

.

And yes, those are some sweet shades I could easily see myself rocking next summer, but they don’t need to join the other 15 pairs I never wear in my junk drawer.

While I realize these ads are targeted to me specifically based on algorithms of my search history, every once in a while they surprise me.

As this one did the other day:

.

.

Not being in possession of a pair, I assure you I have never actively searched for ball wash.

Trust me on this.

Of course since it popped up, I had to click. For research/ blog fodder purposes only you understand.

.

.

Don’t be whack, GIVE A SACK.

There’s an ad slogan designed to burrow deep into your frontal cortex.

And while I admit I chortled over this, I’m not chortling now. Because you know what happens when you click on a Facebook ball wash product ad?

This:

.

.

And this:

.

.

I am now being inundated with less than helpful product placement.

Man meat.

What have I done!

.

I have to admit this one got me thinking…

.

What is it they say…?

.

.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

.

.

Hmm. I’d have no problem with supply, momma red squirrel reproduces like a rabbit.

.

.

Now I love me some biscuits and gravy… but no.

.

.

And though I’ve been known to make a mean gumbo…. again, no.

.

.

Squirrel ravioli? Can’t quite wrap my mind around that.

.

.

While I admit they annoy me to no end, that image is a trifle disturbing.

.

.

Fried squirrel heart on crackers with cheese? You don’t see that on many appetizer trays.

.

.

Squirrel lard cookies.

Is it me…. or do they look like little nut topped turds?

.

Because my readers are a high class bunch.

.

A new follower is always a lovely thing.

Unless it’s a bot, a business or one of those endless fake blogs I zap on a daily basis.

Last week?

A new follower of the utmost distinction joined my list. There he is, right at the top.

⬇️

.

Yes, The World’s Best Farter has joined our ranks. I’m not sure whether to be flattered or disturbed, but welcome Mr. Farter.

Pull up a chair.

Preferably over there, in the far corner.

.

.

Now admit it…

You’re jealous he found me first.

.

Yay me…?

.

A blogging milestone was reached by yours truly recently.

.

.

Although I’m not sure recognition was necessary.

Now if they had a banner that said, Congratulations on posting copious amounts of useless drivel people inexplicably continue to read I could understand it.

I mean really, celebrating this post –

.

.

Where I wax poetic about meatless meat and utterly wrong rice seems a trifle excessive.

But who am I to argue with the WordPress gods?

I’ve been here since July of 2018 and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If the powers that be choose to recognize my productivity? Who am I to argue.

.

.

Yup. That’s me.

If you can’t dazzle them with content, flood them with redundancy.
