🍴: Mon – Accidental Meatless Monday feat. mushroom tacos with refried beans, queso, corn, avocado, and pickled radish — possibly Hampton’s favorite veg tacos ever.

I realize it has been awhile since I have summarized any of my reading here. If this makes you incredibly sad, have no fear! A legit literary site has published a review I wrote!
