Tomato compote and hot banana pepper honey mustard are neck and neck for best of the 2023 garden preserves they’re both insanely good. buuuuuuut 2022’s pickled beets and 2021’s tomato bisque will also make return appearances 😤 the beet simple syrup is…not as stellar lmao but actually surprisingly good in this morning’s cold brew lmfaoooo

Under 25 is TOO COLD?! I'm getting a heat rash even thinking it
Ahahahaha it's not "too cold", but you'll find me with a sweater on. xD
I'm very South Mediterranean in that sense, and used to temperatures here.
(I was in summer in Ireland and England and both times it was "Why is it so COLD. WHY. It's JULY and- people are on the beach?? in their SWIMSUITS???? WITH 18°C AND WIND?????" *wraps in her sweater an becomes green with envy*)
I don't like wearing extra layers such as sweaters and so on, and shoes. Shoes are despicable and the first thing I do at home is take them off. I would live in sandals if I could, so summer's the way.
I'm a Hobbit and Hobbit's nature wants your feet bare. u_u
Between 25 and 30 is my ideal temperature, it's not scorching hot but you don't need many extra layers, you can wear sandals without socks, you can lay in the sun, hopefully plants have slowed down with their pollens...
And yes, before you reply: my pressure is constantly under my feet and yes, in summer and with the heath it gets lower, and I get sunburnt if you look at me for long enough ... Still would take that over my skin cracking because with cold it gets super dry. People coughing or sneezing over you on public transportation. And flus and throataches. And seasonal depression.
Just personal preference and habit of course, I highly envy people who are able to survive in winter and be comfortable, I'm serious. x°D
