I sent a few of these out last week; jazzlet, CJH, avalus, mail is on its way to you. If you don’t get a box in … a while, let me know. [rq, I messaged you for an address, if you want one let me know where to send it. Yours is already made and is sitting on my kitchen counter]

My friend Jenna sent me a care package of bones. I immediately started putting them in mold boxes and pouring silicone.
An old friend of mine has become a “near vegan househusband” so I thought he could use a slicer.
