Happy Birthday Janika!
Happy Birthday Alex!
My contribution to Thanksgiving dinner.
That's Maldon salt on top. The peanut butter / honey filling is poping out the cracks. Next batch will be cooked less and have either habañero, cayenne, or jalepeño.

Most of us call 'em leftovers. Because some people prefer not to eat food they consider "old" my mum decided to rebrand them as "plan aheads".
Homefries from Sunday, pan heated with fresh spinach and smashed garlic. It's amazing how much spinach reduces when cooked; one of my fav ways to consume my quota of green leafys.
In mid-October, I received an e-mail from the League of Women Voters asking that I complete their voter guide questionnaire. When I followed the link provided, it brought me to a Web page that asked me to state my name and contest. When I did, I wasn't recognized and was asked to provide further identifying information.
I submitted a short form of personal information and received an "initial password" in return. Only the password didn't work. I was prompted to submit identifying information. I went through the routine again. Another password arrived and I tried it. Not recognized. Prompted to resubmit name, email and contest.
It had been several days since LWV first sent out its request, other priorities came up, I answered other questionnaires and never got around to trying to log on again.
In wrapping up some campaign tasks, I saw that the City of Bloomington election Website provides a link to the LWV site. It's three days after the election, but I figured, "Why not take a look again and maybe put up a response just for the record." Clicked on link from the city. Clicked on the candidate log-in. Entered my email address and the LWV-provided password. Unrecognized. Asked again to provide personal data so an initial password could be sent.
And that's why I'm not included in the LWV profiles.
Tuesday was Election Day and I managed to pull enough votes to win a seat on the board again. Since then, I've been sure to get back all my "Re-elect Tim Culver" lawn signs back, send out several notes and revise my supporter data base. This afternoon I sent e-mailed a letter to the editor of the Sun-Current to thank supporters and voters. This is it:
To the Editor:
I want to personally thank all those who supported my campaign for another term on the school board. I especially appreciate the work of friends and family who helped me communicate with voters.
To voters who filled in the bubble next to my name: Thank you for trusting me to serve four more years. Please support Bloomington students, staff, and schools as well and as often as you can. They are important to our future.
And thank you, Sun-Current, for again providing readers with real insight into issues and candidates with your profiles. I often heard from voters that your election issue was essential reading.
Election campaigns aren’t only about voters choosing among candidates. They’re a chance for candidates to learn about voters, too. Campaigning got me back in touch with old friends and introduced me to people who care about schools and education. I’m thankful for the frequent reminders of how lucky I am to live in such a caring community.
I hope there's room for the letter in next week's election results edition. Thanks, everyone!
Delicious procrastination.
