Today I planted checkered/guinea hen fritillaria bulbs all over the gardens for spring.  Then I did my usual erev Shabbat preps, including some reincarnated leftovers featuring coconut in various forms–a Thai noodle casserole with coconut milk, and a fruity bread pudding with coconut custard and shredded coconut.  One would think I was having a craving.

Tomorrow I’m excited to be going to my first Tower Grove Pride (not the corporate one, the STL community one).  I predict I’ll be in my element again.  This year I know more people who are going or representing, having lived here for a few years now.
