When you're done with train watching, let me know if you need recommendations on Lego sets.

I know she follows me too, so Hibiscus, Bamboo, and the 3 bonsai trees. Also order from Lego directly because the reward system is worth it even though the free shipping takes a bit longer.

Oh, does she need more botanical recommendations?? Because I have some!!!

Girl, support your local bookstore over Amazon. Looks like this one has it and in your area.
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
I bet your local indie book store could special order it for you if you don't want to go through amazon.
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
And I actually thought of you while I was reading it for the same reason you mentioned above.
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
I got it off Amazon, but yeah, history of toxicology and its evolution from quackery to actual evidence based science. Plus, the author is on here and pretty active.
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
She even breaks down the chemistry between the different types of bootleg gin and their effects. I'm not kidding. This is a perfect ride for you

Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
Cont: There is a concerning number of people who avoid eating shit sandwiches who are also autistic and we should consider that when it comes to the shit tainted sandwich.

If you know any music majors in your life, ask them about John Williams and prepare to go down a rabbit hole with an hour long rant.
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
I have friends who are a part of symphonies, and a number of them at one point in their education wrote a thesis on why John Williams sucks because he steals. It's pretty well known among classically trained musicians.

Like a whole bunch of parents looked at their kids and equated it to having cancer because they were mildly inconvenienced at having to understand autism...
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social)
One thing I really hate is how parents looked at their autistic kids and instead of learning to love and understand them for the way they are they just said, well how do we prevent this for other parents.

Imagine the perfect croissant bit it's triangular shapped and filled with sweetness and drizzled in honey but the flakiness is still there.

The Gyros is also excellent as well but the Baklava comes tenderly wrapped with love in parchment paper and is drizzled with the perfect amount of honey and sweet filling stuffed in that filo dough.

There is an excellent Gyros place in town that had 6 items on their menu and its George's Best Gyros (Not the burger place) and their Baklava is to die for.

There is an art and a flick of the wrist to get a perfect pretzel shape. It made me appreciate cooking and baking. I nailed it as a 2nd grader, and I wish I had a photo of that pretzel, but there were no smartphones, so I ate it.

The best most educational field trip I ever had was visiting a German bakery
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
If you ever find yourself at the Oktoberfest, the key to buying the best large soft pretzel is to make sure the stand is nowhere near the fried fish stand. Unless you like you're bread flavored with fried fish.
Captain Pooky (@captainpooky.bsky.social) reply parent
I grew up in what was West Germany at the time when I first moved there so I am very curious about the BrĂśtchen and the soft pretzel. One of my field trips as a kid was a German bakery do this is exciting!!!

And the actor actually gave a really good answer and responded with the same way that water can take on 3 different forms and still be water and Bill couldn't argue with that answer and then later in the van while driving away decided it was horseshit.
