I love you Marissa! The opening lines of this message were extra scary, but it was worth it for the dahlia cleanse and recipes 💕

Biscotti and a steaming cup of black coffee always reminds me of my grandmother. Although to her it was mandelbrot. Eager to try your pumpkin version. And by the way- the first photo of the dahlia needs to be a painting. It's exquisite but still not enough to cleanse away the Lindsey Graham cooties.

Fair point. Cleansing away his cooties is too much to expect from a flower. Even a dahlia.

I'm a new subscriber and I must say that I generally love your wit in these. Although there's probably a 0.0001% chance I'll make anything. lol

On another note, I just woke and decided to read the new post. And with that horrid image you left I must now play a shooter game and pretend I'm ridding the world of such a horrendous image from tainting the innocent minds out there. lol

The dahlias are so lovely but don’t you think that third photo, of the yummy biscotti with a face, looks a lot like the horrendous puke Graham, only in a more human like form? 🤣
