lesson: Jan van Eyckās āArnolfini Portraitā, 1434. Often mistaken as a wedding portrait, itās more likely a memorial to the manās deceased wife. The Arnolfinis were wealthy Italian textile merchants and his first wife died a year before this commission.

I think more people who pay for YouTubeTV should be aware they can cancel Spotify and get most of the same features from YouTube music. Playlists, videos, lyrics, etc. Save $.

post. One of my favourite 2025 tracks. Not the kind of vocals I tend to like, but there's something about the progression and energy that makes this special. Out of the UK (she's from Estonia), they were roommates during the pandemic lockdown and this happened.

post for the day. I realllly liked this. Minimalist electronic music and simple beats that is filled to the brim with luscious vocals. Queer and out of LA, LANNDS is "a dreamy, psychedelic take on electro-pop". Simple and fun video for it as well.

Worked for a while today before I was asked to hold off until the client got some stuff done, so napped a while instead. Fried halloumi to add to the shepherdās salad and heated up lentil soup from yesterday for dinner. Poured a chilled glass of white vino, turning on Survivor 50ā¦life is good.

Got an art history book from the library and am digging into a piece every day or so. First up: the Qingming handscroll showing an idealized day in a Song Dynasty city during the Qingming Festival. Goes better with coffee than think pieces on Lindy Westās polycule.

Near the end of my hike, I came across a little boy with his fam & dog. I smiled and the boy returned it, jumped up with both arms in the air, and shared, āWeāre going on a hike!ā To which I responded a hearty āYaaaaaaay!ā And the parents laughed and thatās what itās all about.

York Minster ( a few years ago). The rose window was one part of the drawing I knew would be difficult. However, once I had grasped how each of the components worked it wasn't so bad. Every now and then it's worth pushing yourself to step outside your comfort zone.

Out on a 6+ mi. hike and made it back to the car just as I felt the first drop of rain, pouring by the time I drove out of the lot. Love it when things just work out š The forest tree thinning game is going very strong here, part of a massive restoration plan.

If you have a friend in dental school, proactively volunteer to be a test patient & cheer them on! Itās such a vulnerable position to be in for them to ask you to be there for something most people hate, while theyāre also still learning and possibly getting taught in front of you.

Debut attempt at Levantine spinach pies & my own dough. Last year I had a brief no-knead white bread moment, but thatās the extent of my baking experience. Pinching skills need more work but the flavor is good & my home smells great. Subbed alts (lemon juice instead of sumac)

Yay! Migraine is gone. Zuppa Tuscana is delish, way better than I expected. I thought the recipe called for too many beans but I was wrong. The broth is hitting the spot, rosemary and bay leaf seasoning is spot on. Didnāt even need to add salt. Ready to watch The Pit now.

Today was hard with a small migraine. But, this is exactly why itās so great to cook good food when youāre feeling up for it. Pasta and salad from yesterday made it easy to eat well today. I rested a lot and finally felt good enough to get the soup going now.

This was my first time making a pasta dish that includes anchovies and I was surprised they dissolved in the oil. Apparently itās usually made with spaghetti noodles, but my recipe called for bucatini and added tuna and Iām a fan of both. Will be making pasta alla puttanesca again.

Update: She did not āfinish the jobā. She ate dinner, added some baguette with olive oil, looked at the kitchen mess, and decided it could wait until morning and the beans would had more time to soak overnight anyways. No regrets. Sleep was great.

This world is maddening. Still. I hiked a new trail. It was terrible to be perfectly honest š. It disappeared into a yellow field of dead grass and was lined with horse manure. Yesterdayās hike along the I&M canal was amazing though, so keep exploring. At least thereās Ollie.
