pshaw_ravenAfter the discussion about a manicure, I finally went with gold metallic, but instead of teal I used a nice sky-blue. Essie "In the Cab-ana" and Sinful Colors "Supernova." The half moons are a little uneven, it's been a while since I did that style, and this is what was left by the time race weekend was over so it's chipped and kind of beaten up, but I liked it.
We're finally getting some freezing weather! This is important because without a couple of hard freezes, we'll have The Bugpocalypse come spring. One year we had no freezing weather and that spring there were these fucking Two-Lined Walking Sticks everywhere (gross) as well as quasi-biblical swarms of Golden Flies, aka Yellow Biting Flies. I know it's just going to get worse, but at least we can still have some cold temps.
Tonight I'm making a shepherd's pie/taco pie mash up with lentils instead of meat. Should be tasty whatever happens, because how can you go wrong with lentils, mashed potatoes, and taco seasoning? My other experiment is cold-brewed green tea. I am using a genmaicha and matcha blend I bought in Tokyo - "matcha-iri genmaicha" but I can't recall the brand name. I like this blend as a hot tea but was curious how it might do as a cold brew, so I put a small batch in the fridge last night. I would get up and check the bag, but due to cold temps, I'm currently buried in cats.

Instead I added tomato sauce to the veggie and lentil mixture and added taco seasoning until I was happy with the flavor. Was nom-tastic!
