My dad is a king of the nerds and has memorized this all. If something goes wrong on my bike I just make him figure it out. Lol, all I’m capable of doing at a bike shop is buying gift cards.

My cycling people observation is pretty much limited to my dad and his cycling club (not many cycling clubs/cyclists where I live), so admittedly they’re more experienced/gung ho than the average rider. However, I can’t think of a single injury that I, my dad, or any of his close friends have had because they couldn’t…

Belly rubz!!! Good boooooooooy!!!

In cycling it is super normal to use clipless pedals, which is a specialized* pedal that you can snap a pair of cycling shoes into (there is some hardware involved). They are actually REALLY helpful, but every set I’ve used has also been REALLY easy to bail out of. You just flick your foot out at the ankle and you’re…

Cookies and pies are amazing (chocolate silk...oh I die...) and I don’t much care for cake either, lol. I haven’t hit burnout yet but if someone asks me to “show up with a cake” surprise...they get cupcakes. I seem to have amassed a good group of friends who respect my time so they don’t abuse being cake-adjacent.

I make cakes/wedding cakes as a side thing and that sounds FREAKING AMAZING.

As there is nary a pair of shorts to be seen I vote not casual.

Hey, don’t hate on tacos. They are the perfect food.

My preference would be to live with her and Jeffrey - my entire condo would fit in her kitchen. Hell, I’d camp in her garden and stay out of the way if she cooked for me and let me help her decorate her tables for parties.

It’s only 7:30 here but now I want my bomb ass roast chicken. Ina Garten’s Perfect Roast Chicken - check it out.

The guys who’ve hollered at me on the street would like to know how she got all that ass in those jeans.

Lol, there’s a visual...

Sure, there’s colors I like more than others, but that list actually varies as time and trends go on. Is there one color I’d gravitate towards? Gosh, I can’t even answer that because the answer might be no. I suppose it depends on the mood? For dresses I tend to be more concerned about it fitting me in a flattering…

That’d be some damn cute sandals.

Also, have you seen any of these? Talk about limiting your resale.

Throw a little spot UV in for effect.

Yeah, you can even work some whites and yellows in there if you want to expand the palette.

But some of them are so quaint too. I have Castle Sand, Dried Chervil, and Green Tea (it’s actually blue) in my house right now.
