And so it begins. First post, open to feedback.

Roasted chicken breast with sauerkraut

Roasted brussel sprouts

Half an apple with 1tbs organic peanut butter

I'm still trying to figure out what foods do and don't trigger my GERD. Apple with peanut butter seems to help. Sauerkraut seems to help. Eating slowly. Chewing thoroughly. Made a smoothie last night -- that was a disaster. Stomach did not like.

Spouse is eliminating all processed sugars and seed oils to start. He skipped the peanut butter and went for a mix of whole almonds, pecans, and walnuts (not pictured).

Despite this wall of 12-foot windows, I had to get my gals a grow light. (It's a northern facing window in a fence forest so the room is actually really dark most of the day, *shrug*.)

Here's hoping this finally convinces my girl to grow non-tiny leaves!

Made this little grow box out of a rusted faux fireplace I repainted. This is my first time propping and so far it seems to be going ok. I love my lil plant babies so much 🥹 Can't thank everyone here enough for all the advice about soil mixes grow lights, etc. Not sure the grow light I've installed inside will be enough, we'll see. I have a few extras I can clamp on just in case, but for now they seem happy. If anyone sees anything I should be worried about, just say the word!

Went to The Oddities Museum in Atlanta the other day, a mixture of real and forged oddities, and I was overwhelmed by the weirdness. Of course, I thought of this sub. LOTS of deformed taxidermied animals and bizarre medical specimens. If you get the chance, I highly recommend a visit. It's not for the easily grossed out!
