Beer, Bicycles, and Basketball

One of my favorite accounts on Bluesky. There’s no other site I know that posts photos of the daily salad given to a 40 year old tortoise who is constantly looking for true love, goats in Halloween costumes, and political commentary. They sell great cajeta (IYKYK) on their website (and there are super cool photos, too).

The 12th annual Theology Beer Camp took place last weekend, with the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail as a theme. I posted my “Top 10” from this amazing conference here

The Highest Court in the Land? I learned on the PBS Newshour this week that “The Highest Court in the Land” is the name of the basketball court on the top of the Supreme Court building. It somehow seems important that it’s not a regulation size court?

This recipe! I made this for the first time this week and it was AMAZING. In case you are wondering, I use the hashtag #CallFood on both Bluesky and Instagram for recipes that (usually) follow my “Pizza Rule” i.e. healthy and delicious food that takes less time to make than ordering a pizza.
