And something about red bell peppers

[infryq]

Yesterday I did the laundry and made kale chips. I made some bay and cedar incense, and attempted to use marshmallow root as a binder as an experiment. It worked beautifully, but I wailed on it too hard in the mortar and busted out the bottom 😔. Clearly I should be using a brass mortar for pounding, and reserve ceramic ones for grinding only.

Scrabble board score in the 590s. Dreamt of a teff-based paneer and yogurt substitute, an Olin instructors reunion, a bedspread covering two beds, a music puzzle about famous murders, making mobiles, giving zoo/circus creatures a bath.

I finished Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett. Slightly more scattered than I remember Discworld books being, but it all ties up neatly in the end.
