The dandelion greens were acquired at a stop for groceries on a bike ride. The Santa Clara Valley is made verdant by recent rains.

Det är en vacker utsikt

Also I have no clue why a link appeared in my reply lol

Based on rides in SJ as low as 3°C, having a windproof layer and some insulation is useful; I go out with a rain jacket and a sweater. Keeping your upper body, hands, and head warm are most important. The activity helps with warmth and maybe after the sun comes up you'll need to take off a layer.

It is interesting! The instruments are used in cellular analysis in research and clinical labs, so there are optical, fluidic, and electrical components to be tested. My department is where the instrument is turned on and operated for the first time.

I could go on with a whole thread of preceding context and tradeoffs between the two work experiences, but I won't do that here and will instead say in summary that almost all the positives I anticipated have thus far been realized.

I wasn't even seeking the opportunity, and I had some initial apprehension in the decision. Will see where it goes since it's just a year's contract for now.

It does shorten my commute from 75 km to just 20 and presents a slight raise (yet to be evaluated with factors like health insurance).

Aye, here in SF too I was impressed to see how the buses navigate some of the compact residential streets.

It must've been about 90 minutes away, not long ^^ Was a nice excuse for a little road trip.

Åhh, thank you >< @colliebluez.bsky.social did so well in bringing the cross fox to life. I drove down to Monterrey just to pick it up back in June!

You poured oak in awa milk tea!?

The stilt-legs concept looks silly, but it also reminded me of tripod fish

Blueberry was such a good flavour! It's great you got to share your creation around with critters

Pie is such a great theme for a party. I also appreciated the raccoon-crafted chocolate from @banditraccoon.bsky.social !

Made them again to use up remaining ingredients and still can't get over how pretty they are.

It's a personal favourite recipe but best made as a weekend treat. Each råraka takes at least 20 minutes of gentle frying.

Salted and drained sweet potato slivers and rosemary were coated with potato starch and butter before gently frying.
