We’re still awaiting our neighborhood Trader Joe’s—or in this case: José’s (the latest we’ve heard is: not ’til March!), so we had to trek up to Sandy Springs to get our fix of chocolate and wine and other goodies. This label is John’s current “house” favorite, special for all you physics specialists ;)….

I’m keep looking for the bicycle-riding dogs, advertised here as regulars at the new track at Piedmont Park, but I keep seeing just the normal ones, mostly reasonably well-behaved, and mostly doing a good job of their primary role lending their owners and those who want to meet them a conversational opening. It’s better than the bar scene, after all!

Since the WOW new Apple Phone Plus Everything (no link ’cause the site’s swamped) won’t be available until this summer, I’m digging into the past, recommending instead you visit Michigan State’s on-line archive of old American cookbooks and 3D images of antique cooking implements, which begin (alphabetically) with the aebelskiver pan, a specialized cast iron cook-pan. Download a cookbook and think about how things USED TO BE, including this 1857 title….
Please pardon me for the hiatus over the last few days—too busy, too overwhelmed, and too distracted to bring my attention to bear on this lil’ ol’ blahg. Now I’m back to reading about Intermediate Elites (thank you, Bob!) and ceramic exchange territories (sorry, not available unless you have top-secret clearance!) and otherwise trying to remember what my life was like back here in ol’ ATL. Weather’s great; glad to be home….

Somebody must be quite attentive to this feeder as the number of sparrow-raiders is high and constant, and I have yet to catch it empty. It’s outside Mom’s new place….

In the spirit of the new year, we individually and collectively tend to review the past and look to evidence of renewal and continuity. As I often do during this holiday season, I’ve just planted bulbs, to usher in visual cues and the aroma of springtime ahead.
HNY to all! Well, all who pay attention to this particular calendar!
