u/esprit_de_croissants

In an hour or so, I am saying goodbye to my tortie, Vera, after 19 years together.

I have given her all her favorite things over the last few days. Cuddles, heated beds, rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, ham, cheese, Churu, shrimp, tuna, and salmon. I hope it is enough for her to know how much I have loved her and will miss her.

Sitting with her now with soft music and trying to tell her how wonderful she is and hoping she'll be happy to see her brother Jayne waiting for her on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Just wanted to share the pics because she is a beautiful Queen.

I was inspired by u/sackie_b post a few weeks back and made some upgrades last night.

Croissant Bread

Mashed potatoes mixed with shredded 4 cheddar cheeses and some goat cheese crumbles

Prosciutto, heated up in the pan before assembly

One slice of American cheese for some extra gooey-ness

I threw some carmelized onions I had in the fridge on mine.

Magnifique, y'all. 🤌

Also pictured, sliders, watermelon, and berries.

Had a scrounge for dinner night Sunday and had a little bit of infused brownie to send off the weekend. Threw together a grilled cheese with mayo, leftover carnitas, and the last bit of onion raisin chutney I brought back from my trip to Paris last summer. Was absolute perfection.
