So excited to learn how to cook these Thai street foods! Unfortunately they just announced that cooking school will go on hiatus after June so the Mill can focus on growing their dinner crowd. Well, maybe I’ll sneak one more in before they discontinue classes.
Bolting
I found gold in the fridge!
Liquid gold, that is. For my tasting notes of the Erath “Dion” Pinot Gris 2013 I found myself drinking tonight, head on over to my wine blog, Wine Scamp.

Baxter has been crying for 15 solid minutes about his bed being “too high.”
Street harassment and Shauna Hunt
Trigger warning: explicit language and sexual harassment TIL there’s a meme in which men heckle TV reporters when they were filming live, by jumping into the shot and saying “fuck her right in the pussy” into the microphone.
