Mundane

 

Hi Grace!  I watched your "Wine on Venus" live at the Brooklyn Bowl, 40 seconds after you posted it.  I was the 3rd view!  That was some show.  I'm looking forward to seeing you do some big headlining gigs.  I want to remind you that you are already where you are supposed to be, so there's no need to push push push all the time nor to be higher than everyone else, Madam President.  Just be cool, enjoy yourself and take it one day at a time.  Be mundane and hang on to your heart.  Make a cheeseburger!

I didn't have any burger buns, but I did score half a kilo of fresh oyster mushrooms at the market.  So pure white!  I sauteed them in the burger drippings then rolled out a tortilla.  You can see it in the photo below, I stacked the burger on the tortilla and was about to wrap it up then cook it.  No, it's not luxurious!  I didn't have any burger buns!

I picked another fruit from the young tree yesterday, the nangka.  It hadn't ripened on the tree yet, but a rupture appeared where the kernels expanded.  Bugs were interested in the wound, so I pulled it off the tree and sprayed pesticide onto it.  When I opened it up this morning, that part of the fruit was rotten of course.  But a seed inside was growing rapidly, so that part was rotten too.  Otherwise, more than half the fruit was able to be harvested.  Alhamdulillah.
