Made a couple more #floral #decoupaged #ArtRocks & placed them at the base of one of my #ficus #ginseng #plants. There are 2 miniature glass #Mastodon figurines in the pot too.

I have 4 ficus ginseng aka #Chinese #banyan plants. I propagated 3 extra plants from one strong mother plant. I bring them inside for Fall-Winter. They stay outdoors from May-October - depending on weather/temperature.

Every time my Mom gets a large meat product that she has to butcher up herself - it sounds like my basement ceiling is going to collapse on me. Mom's meat cleavering chops are hard & loud thumps. It sounds like she's doing wrestling piledrivers.
Mom buys mostly uncut meats to save money - cheaper than buying pre-cuts.

Much like candidates and elected officials adopting #Chinese names, the prominence of #monolingual Chinese seniors at #political rallies has become a perennial election-year phenomenon in #SanFrancisco. This demographic may not swing elections, but their presence sends a signal to other pockets of this heavily #Asian city about diversity and organizing power.

When my #bananas get too ripe - I fry them up in coconut oil & eat with vanilla ice cream. I make fried bananas in a few different ways. This is the easiest/fastest version.

Asher also got his first few licks of ice cream today - he doesn't get much human foods at all(not good for his cat belly).
