Why would you make ceramic salad tongs

[infryq]

Yesterday I prototyped some fan pleats, went to geagle with P in search of
organic oranges (no luck) and picked up a few other sundries, rsvp’d to C’s
mini-thanksgiving, and made an apple pie. After dinner we did the
crossword, and then I watched two episodes of the new She-Ra. Totally
excellent, you should absolutely watch it.

The crust of the pie is made from ground up oats, ground up toasted almonds
and hazelnuts, potato starch, earth balance, brown sugar, and calvados. Not
terribly rollable and it baked up extremely short but oh wow delicious. I
may have under-filled it (out of practice) but I don’t even care. Excited
to eat this pie.

I dreamt of planning to attend a science fair competition near my old high
school, and battling with bureaucrats about people having to clear out all
their stuff every night, and then it was partially canceled because there
was a forest fire, but I got to talk to a cool ceramics teacher. So that
was ultimately fun.
