Chuck’s apple reviews have inspired me to bake a pie. Apples bought this morning.

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen?

Seen on the Toronto subway.

Markitdown does use a plethora of packages.

There is a long tail of small houses ("Other" in the chart above):

The Big Five publishers (Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster) account for two-thirds of the books on the list.

Here they are. Easily the best I have made so far. Thanks very much for the recipe.

They turned out a bit underdone; I think I have to either cook longer or turn the heat up.

Water tests, part two.

Some interesting results here. The Diamine inks – Ancient Copper and Burgundy Red – both have a dark red component with moderate water resistance. It remains (faintly) on the paper while the bright colours are washed away.

Back view of the sample. The Forest Black appears to be composed of a permanent black component, and a washable yellow which bleeds through the paper.

I was bored and tested my fountain pen inks for water resistance. Results pretty much as expected. The TWSBI Blue Black, Diamine Registrar, and Platinum Forest Black are iron gall inks, and the Platinum Carbon Black is pigment-based rather than a conventional dye.

Starting the weekend with a Bijou. #cocktailhour
