I didn’t have whole tomatoes so I used cans of diced tomatoes with basil and diced chilis added, and drained them well. It was delicious and mildly spicy. Perfect.
Here’s September’s Wallpaper. As much as I hate to see Summer end, I am so excited for the changing of leaves, apple season, and oodles of sunflowers and chrysanthemums. Check out my Patreon post to download, and/or request a wallpaper resize for a different device.
A year ago, I upgraded this site to a business account, and then had one of the roughest unexpected years of my life. I did not renew, but will do so once I get into a good routine, making it worth the costs.

I intended to read 52 books and only finished 20, but that was more than the year before. I’m pretty happy with my list. Having a goal of 52 books is reasonable though, so I’m going to do this again.
My word for 2020 is RELEASE. My intention for 2020 is MEDITATION. My theme for 2020 is BEING PRESENT, JOY.
