With the rest of that Impossible Burger meat, we made ravioli. Quite good, if I do say so myself.

We ordered some Impossible burger meat with our Imperfect Foods order this week. Tonight we did a side-by-side taste test of tiny little 2oz burgers vs. our excellent CSA pasture-raised beef.

Brewed since 2001, this world-class beer is a nice treat after a tough day.

I may not be able to go out for Chinese food to celebrate Christmas Eve With the Jews this year, but at least I know how to make a Mai Tai.

It’s not going to win any awards, but here is my photo of the 2020 Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. You can see a bit of the colors of Jupiter and a hint of the rings of Saturn.
