10/17: writing
...a short review of The Wildcat Behind Glass by Alki Zei and translated by Karen Emmerich. It's something I've meant to do for quite some time, but it wasn't urgent, so I kept putting it off. Luckily, after I reread it this summer, I spent one morning quiet-writing session setting down some draft thoughts about it, and this afternoon those notes were a smooth on-ramp to the review itself. After proofreading it a few times, I sent it off. That feels good.
10/15: baking
...a cake of my (kind of) creation. I used a Depression-era recipe as my base, but then I:
- substituted very strong coffee for water
- added cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg, and allspice
- added walnuts
- sprinkled the top with a mixture of semi-sweet chocolate, dark chocolate, and butterscotch chips.
10/12: a patch
...of orange-yellow flowers that bloom every year at a certain place on my road to work. The petals glow in the early morning sun.
