Glimpses of yesterday (20290627)
My house's main drain got clogged and the landlord's too cheap to pay for a plumber on the weekend, so i decamped to my parents' house. Luckily, even after noon, Sundays are low-traffic days on the interstate so i was able to take the more direct route (which i usually avoid like the plague*).
Dad gave me a bottle of his first batch of vanilla extract. $9 bottle of vodka + $12 b-grade vanilla pods + 1 year sitting in the pantry = quite strong vanilla scent. It'll be fun to bake with it and see how things turn out.
We watched a couple episodes of their current mystery series, Everybody Lies. It's French and the microexpressions were really fascinating.
*Given what we now know about most people's inability to avoid a communicable illness, this saying is one i often now with a heavy dose of sarcasm. In this case, i mean it more literally, as i am still masking in public.
