Lobster stock.
I didn’t expect this to be a cooking account, but this appears to be what I’m doing.

Other activities this week: made another small batch of plum jam. (I freeze plums from our backyard tree in the summer, then make jam in the winter in small batches.)
It’s a pectin-free recipe, but it’s a little on the runny side, so I tried adding a little corn starch. It didn’t seem to do much.

Eventually, I got a door open and convinced Stringfellow (yes, of course I named him that) to make his escape. He flew over to an outdoor deck and perched there, apparently processing the experience. (3/3)

Worried that it would harm my elderly parents, I went in after it. First it tried to fly through a (closed) glass door. Then it flew into my parents’ bedroom and settled down on my dad’s pillow. (2/x)

A few weeks ago, I dropped by my parents’ house for a visit. As I was coming in, I noticed that a large hawk had landed on their front porch! Thinking it would fly away, I took a picture… and then it ran into the house. (1/x)

A green heron I saw while walking in the park with my parents. We visit him once a week.

This is Hubble. He’s a 15-year-old Corgi. His arthritis and vision problems make it hard for him to get outside, but he’s learning to use a ramp.
