mushily powerful

Don't tell the BYM, because he already thinks my garlic intake verges on chemical warfare . . . but there is a lot of garlic in our fridge right now. I pickled around a quart and a half earlier this month after bringing home a bag from the 99-cent produce shelf, and today I roasted 11 heads as a favor for a friend of a friend.

After pelting out of the house for an appointment this morning, I gave thanks to Past Me for the leftover coffee she'd poured into jars last week. Present Me notes that the water left over from soaking dried mushrooms looks a lot like leftover coffee, and that it would be wise to revive my habit of labeling jars.

I am exceedingly late to both the Tom Hiddleston and Letters Live parties, but y'all, this reading of Gerald Durrell's letter to Lee McGeorge is something else. (At YouTube, the comments for this clip include a copy of the letter.)
