Today, Sid and I are attempting a recipe for “roy marmelaede” with quinces from the Antwerp Annunciates’ recipe book (first half 17th century, with some later additions - @kbrbe.bsky.social).

Quite curious as to how this will go (1/?)

Part of the recipe in the original manuscript. Three quinces on a cutting board.

A round metal manhole cover showing a cactus with two branches in the center. The inscription on the outer ring reads "Kvartett Ó. Jónson & Grjóni."

This is the oldest cover I've seen in Macon, GA. Dated 1894.

Iron cover on a brick street. Bits of green vegetation grow between the bricks. Design consists of concentric polygons and circles. Lettering on outer edge reads: Made by C D Findlay, Macon, GA 1894.

I have seen bluer birds, but I'm not sure I've seen greater birds.

A photo of a great blue heron standing on some thin bare branches, with golden hills in the background. The heron is large and beautiful with grayish-blue feathers.

Greetings from Bydgoszcz, where he latest iteration of Łuczniczka (the Archer, one of the city’s best-known symbols) stands proudly in the Main Square, effectively setting off the manhole cover 😺 #ManholeCoverMonday
A larger-than-life straw sculpture of a female archer stands on a town square with an outdoor cafe and some pastel-coloured tenement blocks behind it and a manhole cover with a cobblestone surround in front.

This will probably be the only fungus photo I take this season. I didn't have time during prime season and now most are gone or spoiled.

English fungi names aren't standardised, but something like yellow staghorn seems to be acceptable.

A bright orange-yellow branched fungus growing among pine roots and green moss (I think it's called star moss?). Photographed a week ago with an iPhone 15 pro in Huddinge, Sweden.

10 November 1929 | A Czech Jewish woman, Helga Hošková-Weissová, was born in Prague.

Deported from Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz in Oct 1944. Her father was murdered in a gas chamber. Helga & her mother were moved to Freiberg & liberated in Mauthausen.

Today she turns 96. Happy Birthday!
Black and white portrait of a woman with a contemplative expression. Two images featuring Holocaust survivors at a speaking event. In the top photo, they are seen conversing intimately. In the bottom photo, each is seated beside a guest who holds an open book, capturing a moment of shared reflection and discussion.

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.
