Lis and I went snowshoeing today. It’ll be a while before these picnic benches are back in service.

Bonus photo: snowy path.

I have a new sous vide controller!  This one attaches to any vessel/pot, actually circulates the water, and can be controlled from my phone (including, promised eventually, built-in time/temp schedules for different foods). Very excited.  (The black/yellow thing is the packaging; hard to tell from this photo.)

This is the very top of a 2-foot-high rhododendron bush.

I bought a device to help me digitize vinyl records. Today’s subject: George Carlin.

Back at work today after my office was closed for 2 days by the blizzard. Quincy has a ways to go: the space in front of the brick building is typically a parallel parking zone.

It’s a good afternoon for a nice mug of smoky tea.

Almost a pint of coffee to get me through this snowy morning. The marking on the mug reads “50 cl”.

This package of chicken leg quarters only looks like the first ingredient for Hasenpfeffer.

Can I cry over spilled beer?  I heard a “Whump!” in the kitchen this morning and went to investigate what Ferrous had knocked over.  Nothing!  One of my growlers of homebrew (in the pantry) broke due to pressure. What a mess! The last growler (depressurized) is now in the fridge.

We’re getting the first significant snow of the season today. It’s the wet heavy kind of snow that makes everything pretty, but is a PITA to deal with.
