Lis and I went for a walk at the nearby Beaver Brook Reservation and saw… a beaver!
We saw no evidence of beaver activity near this pond, so we think this individual was out exploring today.
Bonus picture: also turtles.
Bun
First bunny in our yard this season. I hope this year they eat fewer of our flowers.
Completed
Finished guanciale, portioned for the freezer.
Doing it wrong
Happy National Beer Day!
Not only did I pour this Alchemist beer into a glass, it’s a *Trillium* glass.
Not the biggest fan
It’s not the biggest ceiling fan in the house — the one in our sunroom is a little bigger. I installed this one in our dining room today to help distribute the heated/cooled air from the mini-split unit through the rest of the first floor.
Stacked
I worked from home today due to a cold. Ferrous very kindly came and sat with me, getting under the blanket. Then a little while later, Gandalf came over and SAT DOWN ON TOP OF HIS BROTHER. They stayed that way about 10 minutes. Cats….
You had me at poutine
New food truck in Dewey Sq. today: “All items can be made as melt or poutine”
Sleepy
I am pretty sleepy this morning due to Gandalf’s demands last night that I not go to bed.
Hanging
It’s no longer just a pig jowl. It has soaked in the cure for 6 days in the fridge, lost 40% of its weight, and is now hanging in the cool spring basement to dry and ripen. It’s now proto-guanciale.
Ring billed
Lis and I went for a walk along the Charles today. We saw a large number of gulls, and it’s not until I looked at the pics that I realized they’re ring-billed.
