Mmmmm, biscuits. I've been making shortbread cookies lately, but they are no yet perfected, so I keep trying. For science.

109 degrees, on the other hand, pure yuck.

I was listening to a podcast about fermenting stuff yesterday, and I almost want to try it, but probably not enough to put thought into action.

Long shot question, cross posted with Tech:

Does anyone know of a source for buying out of date prepackaged software? We are looking for a version of particular biotech software from 2000, and it's not on ebay or Amazon, so I thought I would turn to the hivemind.

They got ready for school without a fight on the condition they can play minecraft for 5 minutes. Win-win? Or is that just capitulation?

Sauerkraut is probably my favorite thing I have ever made, mostly because it was so easy and also kind of amazing. Highly recommend!

I'm not saying I'd swap with Chiberia Chicago, you understand. Just that I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

It was snowing on my way into work this morning, I was not pleased. Something is still falling, can't tell if it is rain or really wet snow.

OK, that adds to my interest in maybe actually doing rather than just thinking.

Seriously, if you have a mandoline, the prep takes ten minutes, and a couple of weeks later you have sauerkraut. (Slicing with a knife would probably take longer.)
