I found a beautiful piece of short rib so I'm going to try making my own version of this Poor Man's Wagyu Surf and Turf Sushi Roll! Though I will be using tempura shrimp and not lobster. #WhatDoYouHaveCooking ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿœ

Let's be honest, the "Virgin" Mary giving birth is not a miracle.

The "Virgin" Joseph giving birth is definitely a fucking miracle.

Did I ever mention I spent 5 years working at a couple different hospitals in Vancouver?
I worked in the Emergency Department helping restrain patients and I saw some crazy things in that time.
One time this guy came in with about a dozen miniature horses shoved up his ass.

The best part is when you realize that it isn't about the fact that you kept a list it's because you actually paid attention.

24.02.2026 00:51 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

My list includes, shoe sizes, ring sizes, clothes/lingerie sizes, etc.

We're watching something or she sends me a Reel of something she likes, add that to the List.
I am not good at gift giving, and I'm not even that good at making lists....but in this case....my list is fucking awesome.

Here is my one simple bit of advice to any person who is in a long-term relationship and sucks at gift giving, Keep a fucking list!
I literally have a Google Keep list and every time I see something I think my wife may like (if I don't buy it immediately) I add it to the list.

You could likely halve that part and still be fine.

30 Minute Ginger Beef Thinly sliced beef, fried until crispy, and coated in a sweet and slightly spicy garlic and ginger sauce; 30 Minute Ginger Beef is an inexpensive dinner the whole family will love!

I took a try at making Ginger Beef tonight and I have to say I did a damn good job on it.

Sadly her kidneys continued to fail and she wasn't responding to treatment at all.
Wednesday I had to say goodbye to my girl Scout. To be honest it was devastating for me.
Thank you for caring enough to check in, I appreciate it more than I can say.

Thanks Mick. It's a lot.
I have had other dogs but Scout was unique. She was mine.

Give them hugs. It's never enough time. Tell them I love them too.

You don't need to apologize for anything. I knew your intention and I really appreciated that you showed such empathy.
Thank you.

Scout all proud of herself. She likely just ate a whole pound of butter or chewed through the stick we used to to keep her out of the garbage can and ate garbage.

Something Mischievous This Way Comes!

Saying goodbye to this counter surfer, butter eater, garbage dog tonight.

Raise a glass. Toast my Scout dog. Eat a pound of butter

Day 2 with our Scout dog was spent at the Fernwood Fest in Victoria, BC.
She received so much love and attention that day and was just so happy to be with us.
