When I started to visit Tacoma's Freighthouse Square more frequently again, I wandered over to the art gallery and met Darren Blackateer who talked about and showed some of his blacklight vinyl art. I decided to drop off some more old vinyls for him to use and then finally purchased some of his art:
A nice pepperoni pizza we had at Outer Orbit Arcade in Tacoma during the weekend. The ice cream is pretty good too!

Even though I don't make it that often, my favorite comfort food lately is fried tocino or gochujang spam with cheesy Mac and buffalo sauce. I made the mac from scratch this time and the sauce is actually Super Chix buffalo sauce (you can ask to buy a bottle from them)
I meant IRL YouTube channel whoops
I went back to this room today to record and it is so much more than I thought. It's set up like an actual exhibit. I also left a little souvenir in the room along with the other visitor sticky notes. I'll put out a video eventually (on the url channel I barely post to lol)
There was also a tourable alien/space themed gamer room in between shops at the Freighthouse Market. I'll have to return and take a longer look at what's there. #tacoma #washington
The Freighthouse Square in Tacoma is awesome because you get stores that are just Frogs and Fudge (and soda)
This store is called Goldenfinch

Stopped by Kura Sushi in Tacoma Mall. Really like their selection and the Taiyaki ice cream. There's a Kirby promotion going on, so you can get little items based on the number of sushi plates per meal.
Checked out one of the Tacoma markets today for a little bit, while the weather was less than ideal outside. Danny Devito says hello.
It's my partner's birthday today; he'll be hitting 36. I've been with this man for almost 19 years now.
It was nice to completely avoid Black Friday chaos yesterday and get in touch with nature, walk around and get good food
Very large lemon tree here
There's a small koi pond in here
W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory at Wright Park in #Tacoma. I haven't been here for a while but it's like a little piece of plant paradise in a park that already has a diverse selection of trees (with labels). Free to visit but they have a gift shop.
I wanted to mention one of many things I like about Tacoma shops and eateries is that you'll always find local art being showcased. It gives a lot of places that indie vibe
This place has two all gender bathrooms, so that makes them Trans and Enby friendly
Starr Sandwich shop by Stadium Thriftway in #tacoma
Great sandwiches, has the vibe of a comfy cafe and bar in one. I've been to this place quite a few times. We ordered a single White Rabbit today (with a side of soft pretzel bread) and they cut it up between two plates with pickles for us to share.
A week back my partner came across the Panda Pottery place in #tacoma while checking out Freighthouse Square, so we picked some pieces to paint/get fired. I did two cat-shaped shakers for my mother and my partner did a mug for me (hes never painted art in his life but I greatly appreciated it).
I had a couple family members at my place, which is small, but we had a low-key Thanksgiving. I like turkey outside of the holidays, but for today we had glazed spiral ham.
If you're making homemade whole cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, try out adding oranges (or orange juice) and cinnamon. Its been a great flavorful addition
I made an account for irl and Tacoma-centric stuff if you were interested in following me for that. I wanted to add to this and say the reason we brought up underground Tacoma is because while we were waiting by the history museum, my partner noted the road sounded "hollow" based on vibrations
