I was wandering the world of the internet last night, and came, by wandering ways, acrosst a mention of Japan and its four-season issue. It's all nihonjihron*, of course, but it got me to thinking about seasons, and how we deal with them. It's got some fun stuff in the comments of people acerbicly commenting on their own seasons, sure, but

For the record, this is REALLY REALLY GOOD information to have on hand if you wind up talking to a doc/brain doc when your contract ends - and it's sometimes the kind of thing given for homework, afterward.

(I keep intending to do it myself and then not; I've found that lately it's: "am I late taking drugs? yes? that is why I feel bad. also hydrate, boo.")

Last night I cooked a pot of beef soup with leek and potato in the crockpot - it was delicious, and involved cubing a pound of beef shank, a large red potato, slicing a large handful of baby carrots and a leek and some garlic + salt/pepper/cumin/probably less paprika than it needed.

Then crockpot for 5 hours because fuck no I am not turning on my stove when it's a hundred degrees outside. Verdict: Delicious! I should've bought a loaf of crusty bread at the store when I was there.
