Tea & Whiskers: Brooke Baking Scandal
I've been following a bit of a news story the last few days - it's the Brooke Baking Scandal, at least, that's what I've come to call it in my head. Now, I'm not on TicTok, so I don't know anything about TicTok chiefs or TicTok Bakers - but I do love Cookbooks and Baking Books. I love collecting them.

A secret Life…
It seems everything has a secret life, even plants. A curious scientist is needed to unravel those secrets.

Jesus has my Back
Please, ‘Do not let your heart be troubled, trust in God, trust also in Me.’ accept John 14: 1. Jesus was speaking to the hearts of his disciples knowing he was soon to die. Christ knew that he was not only going to die but would conquer death forever, opening up the promise of eternity for all who would believe.

Anime Recommendation: Moonrise
I thought I’d very quickly write down my thoughts on Moonrise.
I recommend it.
Good science fiction is hard to come by these days, and when I say good science fiction, I’m probably talking about science fiction that evokes within me a feeling of nostalgia—

An abundance of Books...
Television kinda bores me.
I've actually been going back and watching Law and Order from the year 2000.
