Finished the #dutchroseblanket by #cypresstextiles ! Great pattern with lots and lots (and lots) of ends. This took me forever and I am so glad it’s done. I love the design, but I hate weaving ends😂 Unblocked (motifs were blocked before joining) 44x61. Scheepjes stonewashed yarn, Boye F hook. 🧶

"Customers only care about one thing: barely functioning AI crammed into every facet of their lives. We all know this. That’s why anybody who’s anybody has slapped AI onto their product. AI phone, AI refrigerator—if it doesn’t have AI, what the fuck are we even doing?"
Our Customers Demand Terrible AI Systems
We’ve been banging our heads against the wall, trying to think of the new “it” thing our customers want. At one point, somebody suggested improving...

12 pounds Santa Ana windfall Granny Smith apples turned into 4 pints applesauce, 3 pints apple butter, 7 half pints apple butter. The apple butter is confirmed delicious. Lots of apples left (most still on the tree.) #foodsky #canning #backyardorchard #grannysmithapples

Took our first hike of the season last weekend. Lovely color on the sycamores, coyote brush is blooming, and so many yellow-rumped warblers and Bewicks wrens. Also I am out of shape. #redrockcanyon #santamonicamountains #hiking

Made the Baked polenta with zucchini and green harissa from #ottolenghi ‘s new cookbook, Comfort. I was hoping to buy a jar of green harissa but did not want to run around looking for it—so I made it (using Anaheims rather than bells). This is so delicious!!! 🍽️ #cooking #polenta
