Adding to this, please enjoy some street art from #Reykjavik.

Things are weird and unpleasant in the news! I like to counterprogram my brain and looking at / processing photos does that for me, so hey, here are four photos of mine from my trip to Portugal. Please to enjoy. Or don't. I'm not your boss. I was, but they fired me for stealing office supplies.

Okay - knows policy, and his policies are nuanced and not ridiculous and oversimplified pipe dreams of TFG. He's still the gaffable guy we have known since at least the 80s, but no more so than I would be speaking on the wide number of topics. I wish this was the debate performance.

Saw my first #CyberTruck in the wild and ... it looks more absurd than the photos: brutalist design, excessively wide, bizarre lines, shows all blemishes. It reminds me of a stainless steel Interstate rest stop toilet.

Tortilla Flats (Arizona) Talent, OR, but only because I was able to take a photo in front of the "City of Talent Police" sign.

I enjoyed Alpha Centauri, which was "Sid Meier's Civilization, but on a different planet." I especially enjoyed that the game parameter files could be edited. Sometimes just wrecking the computer opponents was therapy.

Teletubbies (at that time) parent here - "Eat in a nice restaurant" is code for "take more than five minutes and enjoy the meal." I am happy for your colleague!

"Rapunki, when he joined the Seven!" Season 5 had some excellent episodes. I really liked the concept of Darmok, and Inner Light never fails to make my eyes watery.

🍽️Chicken schwarma with mejadra (lentils, rice, crispy shallots), tzatziki sauce This was a really good recipe, but I subbed shallots for the onions: www.recipetineats.com/middle-easte...

Happy Father’s Day!

#OTD On this day, 2020, mid-pandemic, I moved the kiddo back from college. Of course, I *had* to stop and get a photo / #geocache of the Jolly Green Giant statue in Blue Earth, MN.

🍽️@kenwhite 's visiting The Icelandic Phallological Museum reminded me of the breakfast I had in the cafe - waffles were good.

The cafe offers theme-shaped waffles, and they're pretty good.

(had to look that word up). Yes it is!

🍽️June means cherries are in season! 3/4 C flour 2 T sugar 3/4 C milk 3 eggs 4T butter 2 C pitted cherries powdered sugar Preheat to 425°F Combine flour, sugar, milk, eggs in a blender until smooth. In Dutch oven, melt butter. Add cherries. cook 2-3 min Pour in batter Bake 18-20 min Dust w/sugar

Made Makrouta today, but misread "3/4 t" for "3/4 C" for both nigella and sesame seeds. It is thus very seedy. Recipe in alt text.

🍽️After eating these, I think 1/4C of each would have been perfect.
