Recently made a batch of #goldenSyrup - had I known it was so easy I would have been making this stuff years ago! I used The Daring Gourmet's How to Make Golden Syrup recipe, www.daringgourmet.com/how-to-make-...

Since it's #ChexMix time, here is the earliest newspaper reference i've found to a Chex mix, from the November 19, 1953 Salina Journal, Salina Kansas. The biggest difference vs. today's recipe: the vast quantity of butter and fat - yum!

After much puzzling, I've finally convinced #GitHub that I'm real and I can check in code. I've written how to do the same at bluepapertech.com/arduino-deve... and bluepapertech.com/arduino-deve...

Continuing my burst of Gothic tracery activity, I’ve posted my 3D Gothic Cinquefoil (5-lobe) tracery design, and its 2D SVG file, on Cults3D: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...
Gothic Tracery Cinquefoil decoration to emboss or engrave
I designed this Gothic Cinquefoil – a 5-foil window – so you can add (emboss) or subtract (engrave) it to/from your own designs.
I’ve included the completed design both as an STL file and an SVG file....

After hearing them mentioned on #BrokenwoodMysteries, I baked some ANZAC biscuits (cookies) from a recipe at www.recipetineats.com/wprm_print/a... Yum! I can see why Mrs. Marlow brought them to her squeeze at the senior center.

A short time ago I dove in and removed a very bad cuckoo clock staining job I'd done. I've successfully refinished the clock in English Chestnut stain.
