Weekly Links: September 5th
Food
- An article about Pakistani mango imports.
- I liked the playable essay Bread Minus, “a short narration of my process for baking sourdough bread, interspersed with some tangents on rocket countdowns, oven measurements, and the invention of time.”
- I got a puerh tasting set from Crimson Lotus Tea and it was worth the long shipping time.
- My menu for this coming week is: whatever you can find (breakfast), sambal noodles (packed lunches + dinner), digaag qumbe (packed lunches + dinner), kale-lentil salad (packed snack + side), oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (yum).
from Summer flowers of the high Alps, Somerville Hastings, 1910
Miscellanea
- An article about trawling the comments on the Internet Archive's Greatful Dead collection.
- A little poem about a nice butt from the Greek Anthology, plus some Ancient Greek butt vocabulary.
- The visual novel Butterfly Soup now has web and android ports! I read this a few years ago and really enjoyed it, especially since it takes place in a California high school at around the same time I was going to high school in California.
- A friend turned me on to the joys of industrial safety videos, which are a fun thing to watch in bed on a weekend morning. Please enjoy Shake Hands with Danger and Forklift Driver Klaus.
- Here's a very cool in-progress collection of images taken from public domain books and converted into vector format. My favorites so far are: divider11, frame11, ornament19, ornament28, ornament43 (below), ornatec10, torch, agreatcuriosity, and lazywifepolebean.
