Lis took me out for an awesome birthday dinner tonight (I had the osso bucco), at which I totally forgot to take any pictures. But the desserts we have at the house are far better than what the restaurant had to offer.

We brought this moose lantern home with us from Yellowstone, and he graces our dinner table most every night.

It’s finally cool enough to enjoy a glass of Cognac after dinner.  I tried a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t quite work.

 
Bonus picture: I made peach/plum jam today.

It’s dead, Jim.

 
I suspect the power supply and have ordered a new one. But just in case I’ve also ordered parts to let me get the data off of the drives.

Nice dinner out at Tempo in Waltham tonight.  I have to admit, this beer was not what I was expecting when I ordered it, but it was excellent. Brewed in Framingham, too.

I drove to the train today rather than biked, due to weather. My car was the first one in the lot this morning.

An advantage of my September experiment: I walk right by Rosie’s Bakery in South Station. This morning the blueberry scones were fresh out of the oven, and still warm by the time I got to the office.

I bought myself a manual coffee grinder.  Evidently it’s Japanese.  There’s not a lick of English on the box or instruction sheet. Good thing the instructions are basically “Put in coffee.  Turn handle.”

Q: What happens to the ends of the proscuitto ham that are too small to be sliced & sold for $18/pound? 
A: Lis buys them (for pennies on the dollar) and Doug turns them into yummy risotto, pasta, or soup.
