My living room has a 14ft banana tree. She has been growing since 2020, but now she enters a new phase.

This is a sad outcome, but it's rational. MAGA is all about improving yourself by screwing others.

Although likely correct, we have coddled capital accumulation through tax rules. So we reach a point where capital is held by a virtual monopoly. That is the issue.

Listeria is a home cheesemakers nightmare as it is virtually impossible to test for as an individual. I use pasteurized milk for softer cheeses, and keep as clean as I can, but still.

On this day in 2023, Gordon Lightfoot died. One of Canada's most beloved singer-songwriters, he won 16 Juno Awards, earned five Grammy nominations, the Order of Canada and a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. He was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

He wears a denim shirt with a small pin on the chest and several rings and bracelets, including a turquoise piece. The background is dark, focusing attention on him and the guitar.

Gruyere wheel just after a flip. #cheese This is the most anxiety inducing parts of cheesemaking. It smells old and moldy but that is just the rind. Is it okay inside? We don't know. I'll probably open next month.

This gruyere is now about 3 months into aging. The rind is dry and can't really host surface mold.

March 7, 1926: An organization has been founded in Berlin to study the feasibility of flying aircraft at altitudes of 6 to 7 miles, thus avoiding weather systems that hamper speed. The group envisions planes that will exceed 270 mph and fly from Hamburg to New York in 12 hours.

March 5, 1926: Pope Pius XI issues an encyclical denouncing beliefs in white superiority and insisting the peoples of East Asia and Africa “can easily compete” with Westerners mentally. His encyclical, “On Affairs of the Church,” calls for recruiting more native missionaries.

Not to be a killjoy, but Jesus was not born on 25 Dec. He wasn't born on 6 Jan either. And he wasn't born in Bethlehem. But, it's perfectly fine to celebrate the end of the year and draw inspiration from the magnificent art, music, and traditions.
