I was like a lot of kids;  not a big fan of a LOT of foods.  Quite a few were based on how they were cooked;  not that my mother wasn't a good cook, as she overall was (and a better baker) but hey, 50s, 60s, early 70s...lots of things were hard to find other than frozen or canned.  And the style of the times led to tuna casserole with canned tuna, canned cream of mushroom soup, and potato chip topping.
 
GAG!!!!!!!!!!
 
I adore tuna.  LOVE it.  But we're talking fresh tuna, very lightly cooked.  Or on sushi.  But I've basically dropped almost anything canned or frozen, with a few exceptions:  Hatch brand enchilada sauces, flash-frozen fruit for smoothies or maybe added to oatmeal, ground elk or venison, occasional flash-frozen shrimp or tilapia.  Only the sauces have been cooked at all, tho, note.  And I almost never even consider frozen veggies;  I have done some frozen mushrooms, they worked out ok.  But that's it.  Frozen veggies become mush, most of the time;  canned have been massively overcooked.

And what's this GREEN color for New Mexico?  Yeah, favorite comfort food being chili, that's fine;  coulda been enchiladas or rellenos too.  But GREEN???  Shoulda been half red and half green!!  Some states split between blue and red, we split between green and red.

The Western Monarch Butterfly is almost gone

I can't believe how the mittens picture has taken off.
 

Bernie Sanders Reacts To Memes & Biden Administration

Oh, and last week All Things Considered interviewed the content director for Forbes magazine. He had a warning for any company that hires any of Trump's former press people for their publicity teams: Forbes will assume that any press release from that company is a lie. Because you don't hire shameless liars unless you plan on telling shameless lies.

A bit of humor from the Marketplace public radio program. First there was "Hamilton." Biden joked that there sjould be a musical about his Treasury nominee, former Fed chai Janet Yellen. Marketplace contacted someone named Dessa, who was on the "Hanilton" mixtape, and, well, here it is. Or at least a 90 second song.
 
A "Hamilton"-style song about Janet Yellen by Dessa - Marketplace
www.marketplace.org/2021/01/21/yellen-hamilton... When then-President-elect Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Janet Yellen for secretary of the treasury, he joked that “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda should write a musical ...
 
[HOOK]
Oooo, who’s Yellen now?
Who’s Yellen, who’s Yellen now?

[VERSE 1]
Doves on the left
Hawks on the right
Crosstalk in the flock tryna fight mid-flight
But here comes Yellen with that inside voice
Never mind the mild manner, policies make noise
She’s five foot nothing, but hand to god
She can pop a collar, she can rock a power bob
Bay Ridge represent!
Brooklyn’s in the cabinet!
Damn, Janet, go and get it—
Fifth in line for president!
She knows the kinda stimulus it takes to pass a buck
I heard she called the housing crisis
She’s qualified as ffff—
It only took a couple centuries
The first female secretary of the treasury

[BRIDGE]
Don’t want no tax evasion
Forgers faking
In her treasury
Trying for higher wages
For the nation
Less disparity

[VERSE 2]
Watch your step, there's busted glass
Janet broke another ceiling
You can bet your brass
That the Lego guy is leaving
Last check to cash
—'Scuse me, Janet has a briefing and a flight to catch
And Janet
She’s the first that’s led
The Council of Economic Advisors, Tresh, and the Fed
She needs a three-sided coin that always comes up heads
To put the triple crown down when she goes to bed
Call the decorators
New boss in the office
Spenders and the savers
Watch the confirmation process
We got to meet her
Now let’s let her settle in
And lift up your mojitos—
Cause she manages the mint

[HOOK]

Where're the cell phone store and the Starbucks?

To the surprise of no one...
