Someone was happy I came home.

Serenity at last

Well, with a little help...

First ever attempt at knife making. Come back tomorrow for the result.

So, I have been mostly on a plant-based diet that started earlier this week. Today I cheated a little bit and added some pollock. However, the vegetarian food has been sitting well with me. Those are lentil noodles, spicy brussels sprouts and a red bean and mushroom mix. Sautéed.

Worked a little bit more on the knife. Handle is now finish sanded, but hasn’t been oiled yet. I’m still waiting on the pommel, which I have to glue in, before I can put any oil on the wood. After polishing the blade, the raindrop Damascus stands out.

Just had a wonderful evening with my two favorite girls. Lots of laughing and story telling. Now I’m going to make a bonfire to round out the evening with more good company and a scotch in hand. Life is good.

There.

This is nice.

FIRE! Perfect.

Happening right now: the palm reading Pirat will heavily advocate for brain power and neurology at St. Andrew elementary school.

Idyllic morning, but now I have to go to work.

Wish I could stay.

Loots of activity at the MS blood services busses this morning. Come over and donate if you can!

So here is some ripe plantain that are fried in some spicy olive oil with butter and molasses. I know my south American friends don’t necessarily approve of this Sweet fixing of plantain, but I do like it.

Yay!

At Jekyll Island, Atlanta Airport, international terminal. I really thought this was a restaurant. But it’s actually a fast food place. You order via code, which did not work. You don’t get your food without hunting for it and then it arrives in disposable containers.

Yeah. That’s how that went.
