The dog is walked, lemon polenta cake is cooling in the window, mug of coffee in hand, surreal kafkaesque book in my ears.

2/3 of America's dairy cows are on "mega farms" with >1000 cows ... is she suggesting that folks visit factory farms and look the robot milking machines in their Hal9000/SkyNet red eye to determine whether the content of their character somehow equates to "clean" raw milk?

Heard a NYTimes piece about the completed 9-hour Prince biography that was permanently shelved after the estate changed hands.

There is a statue in Venice known colloquially as El Caga Libri, "The Book Shitter".
No idea whether the sculptor was commenting on the quality of Tommaseo's writing.

You know it’s spring in Scandinavia when the fastelavns-boller arrive.
Soft cardamom rolls filled with cream and jam and dusted in sugar, a last hurrah of excess before the fasting of lent.
The sweet indulgence remains even if the sacrifice has not.

Yesterday I made a piccata w/ lemons & capers & garlic & shallot, oh my!
Then, late at night, I dreamed that I was in a bombed and occupied city.
We, the resistance, would identify ourselves by holding half a lemon up and lightly squeezing it.
Subtle.
The rebel flag was a half lemon a blue field.
