Great list! I don't know some of them... off to explore!

Also so so so so happy that your 50th state lived up to my hype. I am thrilled that you want to come back :)

It's a mix of non-fiction, mystery, fantasy and a bit of sci-fi in there but all the kind of authors that grab you and don't let go!

READ the empire of pain. Sooooo good. I had watched the series Dopestick on Hulu (if you haven't seen it, highly recommend) and was curious about the Sackler family. The book explains them across three generations.

Congratulations, I think? The overworked part doesn't sound fun but sometimes comes with the job change, especially if they're both trying to utilize you at once.

I keep asking food questions. RGF = real good foods? I got some bites from them to try in October. And I did try their chicken enchiladas. Ate the guts but couldn't stomach the wrap. If yes on the brand, any specific bites you recommend?

Yes, real good foods is the brand! I do like their enchiladas and their bites, I like all of them but my faves are the Artichoke ones and the jalapeño ones.

I have not been a fan of their pizzas and I haven't seen their tacos but Teenie has mentioned them so I keep an eye out and I've heard they added a general tso's chicken that I will now look for too

Great, thanks! The artichoke ones are in my freezer. I saw the tacos in a frozen bunker at my Walmart but was concerned about trying them after not enjoying the enchiladawrap. Go figure. Will be on the lookout for the other things!

When my first year I had a hard time with some RGF now I like it all. It definitely got better.

The first time I tried the enchiladas I didn't like them at all - the wrap, it was just weird. Now I love them. I overcook them intentionally. It makes them crispy and the little burned bits are the best.

Ooh, that might be worth a try. Silly me, I'd purchased two with the expectation I'd like them and have another prepared food option. That gives me a thought for how to over cook them a bit. Thank you!
