Did I go a little extra with leftovers breakfast? Yeah, why not?
Pork, fluffy egg, waffled stuffing, homemade gravy (didn’t get any in my leftovers)

I bought this lovely piece of pottery in Reykjavík (from artist Dagný at Kaolin), and I finally got some tea lights to put inside. I love the orange glow, kinda like lava.

The bar we wanted to go to last night was closed for a private event so we tried to see if barmini would take us without a reservation, and they had space. Excellent cocktails and service as you’d expect!

My friend Hrannar wears shorts all the time. I never got it until this last trip. (I don’t wear them all the time) and here’s some proof, along with a geirfugl statue near Reykjanesviti

The Ballston Wetland Park is such a weird park. Beautiful little wetland shoehorned between I66 and the butt-end of Ballston, but the whole human-accessible part of the park seems to be little more than a sidewalk and a viewing platform.

Fun fact, too: Reykjavík has a set of these at one intersection (Laugavegur at Lækjargata) and the woman version of these on the other end of the street (Laugavegur at Snorrabraut).

Got a care package from Iceland today with lots of tasty treats! Thanks @villineto.bsky.social! Brightened up an otherwise gray day!

Made mini-rúgbrauð in a mug at home. I used this recipe from King Arthur, but cut it in half and changed the bake temp and added a bain marie.
Flavor is very good, but needs to be more moist. Have ideas for the next attempt. Meanwhile, this will be dinner with some lax and butter!
