These are–wait for it–lichen logs!  C’mon, you know it’s funny.  Also, E’s newer, better batch of challah, and a drink I call a “Silver Jamaican”.  (Instead of a White Russian, get it?)

It turned freezing, about 20 degrees below the average for here and now.  Not a fan.  Today was the first day of Misu’s indoor incarceration, and she’s taking it amazingly well.  Aside from every escape attempt in her playbook.  Resistance is futile.
