Rosemary plum challah (slightly messed up the braids though)
Challah straight from the oven. It’s possible to see a little bit of the plum jam seeping through the seam of a braid

Genuinely was not expecting Immanuel Kant to be the name that popped up as the first portrayal of Tove Janson’s Moomins
“Jansson’s first published version of Moomin—those endearing yet difficult creatures she was later to make famous in her Mooomintroll books for children—appeared in a political cartoon in ‘Garm’ when she was still in her teens; its prototype, an insulting portrait of Immanuel Kant, appeared even earlier on an outhouse wall after she lost a philosophical quarrel with one of her brothers.” - The Summer Book by Tove Janson (page viii-ix introduction by Kathryn Davis)

“It is quite easy to blow air through a section of mangrove root up to around 60cm in length: powerful lungs are required for greater lengths.” - Peter Hogarth, The Biology of Mangroves. I love when biology books have info you can tell required a bit of hands-on testing/demonstrations
“Roots entering the soil are largely composed of aerenchyma tissue, honeycombed with air spaces which run longitudinally down the root axis. These spaces are visible to the naked eye. Their extent and continuity can be demonstrated by blowing down a section of root as through a straw. It is quite easy to blow air through a section of mangrove root up to around 60cm in length: powerful lungs are required for greater lengths.” - the Biology of Mangroves by Peter Hogarth (page 5)
