it feels like saturday because i'm not going to work tomorrow
l'shana tovah to my fellow hebs! may you be inscribed in the book of life for a good and sweet year. apples and honey for all!
my sister is having some people over for dinner tomorrow night after services, so today i made a flourless chocolate cake for it. it's not the best-looking cake i've ever baked, and because i can't bring a cake with a piece cut out of it, i have no idea what it tastes like, but it made my kitchen smell goooood. i found the recipe on the king arthur flour web site, which cracks me up because it's a flourless cake.
have some science! by which i mean, nasa caugh a black hole eating a star. this is apparently very hard to find and observe. go nasa.
you know how a couple of chinese skeletons were found in a roman cemetery in london? now some roman coins have been discovered in the ruins of a japanese castle. if folks from nearby china were traveling around the roman empire, it makes sense that roman stuff would find its way back.
japan is introducing black garlic doritos for halloween. oh mommy. i want those so badly.
there's a collectible hannibal figure that comes with a. the plastic murder suit, and b. a little model of the stag. super cool and kind of creepy.
my favorite thing about donald trump still being in the running for president is the dedicatedly and historically republican newspapers that are endorsing hillary.
don't sneak - a father's advice to his gay son in the 50s.
this is slightly old news, but on friday the rosetta space probe landed on comet 67p (where the philae lander landed a couple years ago), after twelve years in space and a lot of pictures and new and exciting comet info. the comet is heading out past the point where rosetta will be able to draw solar power, so it landed on the comet for one last (and very short) data-gathering mission.
listen to possibly the world's oldest instrument - a neanderthal flute. neat!
friday night i saw a stencil on the sidewalk that said "we'd drink more of them if they weren't called manhattans", which i thought was cute.
