麦茶 🍵

Every Saturday, Devine & I go a farmer's market in the area. We always buy beets, and kohlrabi, to eat both the roots and leaves.

Since the boat is cold, the leaves keep rather well! LOVE when I can get my hands on vegetables with their tops~

Here are the notes!

While working on the book, I'm also writing notes for others with limited command-line experience, like myself, as I ran into a few issues when setting it up, and when trying to add special formatting (all good now though).

It's a fantastic way to format articles or books. Technicalities shouldn't stop beginners from using it.

Working on an extended version of the North Pacific Logbook.

Using Pandoc to generate a PDF from a .txt file (written in Pandoc Markdown).

Result is awesome :D.

Started to read Ray Bradbury shorts in evenings. My favourite so far is The One Who Waits.

Excerpt:
"I live in a well. I live like smoke in the well. Like vapor in a stone throat. I don’t move. I don’t do anything but wait..."

Made sweet and sour lentils for lunch today, but used sprouted lentils instead!

Recipe:

Sprouted lentil version:
I cut my vegetables real small (tiny cubes) so they'd cook fast, browned them in a pan with oil. When veggies were done, added sprouted lentils, cooked the mixture for 2-3 min, and finally added the sauce, mixing everything well and cooking the mixture for another minute or so to allow the sauce to thicken :>.

"If you own a house, you can’t do anything unless you get permits, licenses, and pay fees to do what you want on your land. "Do what you want" on your land is more of a “mother may I?” type of situation… only a lot of the time ‘mother’ says no."

@neauoire "They went off to the air closet, where a wind sucked them like brown leaves up
the flue to their slumber rooms."

Having my first glass of umeshu since the North Pacific Crossing incident.

So far so good, I'm able to drink it :>.

Glad the second jar didn't explode.
