Why Wasn’t Friendship As Good As A Relationship? Why Wasn’t It Even Better? It Was Two People Who

Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.

Jack-o-lantern chicken and sweet potato Pot pie recipe

Jack-o-lantern Chicken And Sweet Potato Pot Pie Recipe

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 lb. sweet potatoes (about 2)

1 large onion

Kosher salt and pepper

1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 c. dry white wine

2 c. low-sodium chicken broth

1 small rotisserie chicken

1 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley

tsp. freshly grated or ground nutmeg

2 sheets frozen puff pastry

1 large egg

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 375°F. Oil eight 6-oz ramekins (3 1/2-in. round).

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the wine and then the broth and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, parsley and nutmeg. Divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins (about 3/4 cup each). Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.

Using a 3 3/4-in. pumpkin cookie cutter and a 3/4-in. triangle cookie cutter, cut out pumpkins and their faces from the puff pastry. Place a jack-o'-lantern on each ramekin, brush with the egg and bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Across The Land A Faint Blue Veil Of Mist Seems Hung; The Woods Wear Yet Arrayment Sober, Till Frost

Across the land a faint blue veil of mist Seems hung; the woods wear yet arrayment sober, Till frost shall make them flame; silent and whist The dropping cherry orchards of October Like mournful pennons hang their shriveling leaves Russet and orange: all things now decay; Long since ye garnered in your Autumn sheaves, And sad the robins pipe at set of day. — October, by Siegfried Sassoon. Artwork: October, by Kelsey Garrity Riley.

Way way back I drew a comic explaining what we really mean by ‘The Autism Spectrum’ and posted it here back when Tumblr was Huge. Then the comic really blew up!! Last year I did a remake of the comic, with some updated language, and using Mia, a character from a graphic novel I made. Figured I’d share for Autism Acceptance Month!

Teach your children to respect animals and the world around them. Teach them that nature isn't their toy and that their actions have consequences. Teach them compassion for other beings and creatures.
