Bubble and Squeek for 3 Mar 2025

Today is my mom’s birthday and I’m missing her. So, have a Bubble & Squeek. Fun fact, the term “Bubble & Squeek” came from my mom whenever we asked “What’s for dinner?” and it was leftovers repackaged in a new form. I don’t know how she did it, but she always made leftovers taste really, really good.
