I'm berry slowly working on it, got it to 27% last night. I don't know why but I find that these extremely large puzzles are almost therapeutic.

Baking, brewing, and cooking are berry important hearth-building and health-building skills. They are a surefire way to make yourself /comfy/, Anon! What are you baking, brewing, or cooking at the moment? How is it coming out? What will you be trying next time? Is there anything you'd like to try improving? Is there something you'd like to learn? Maybe you have something you'd like to teach us? I tried some old things and new things today! Pics related are: >the bread I made earlier today; a shrimple white cobb loaf. This was the first time I was just able to make it from memory. It felt great to be able to just reach for the ingredients and go through the motions. As luck wood have it, the prove went well and the slashes formed up beautifully. I was worried that the crumb inside wood be a little wet but it turned out berry nice with a good chewy crust. The loaf is wrapped in beeswax cloth now so I can eat it over the week. I'm considering getting a sourdough starter going but I don't know if I'm good enough to handle it yet. >my first attempt at glazing carrots Apparently glazing (which I have found out is different from caramelising) is a basic technique that even professionals find difficult to get perfect eberry time. I think my first attempt here had just a touch too little water and a touch too little sugar, though I reckon I got the butter correct. See how the finished carrots don't have an even glaze? They still tasted berry good with some parsley and finishing

>I did find some markings on the blade after posting
I was able to nail down the manufacturer. This thing was made by  L. & I. J. White Company.  Here are some pages from their 1909 catalog. Mine is a bit different, but is similar to the 1909 "Buffalo Pattern". They are also described as having iron handles which could be inaccurate, so this probably does has some sort of lamented/welded edge.  I'll need to see if I can find catalogs from different years to try to find an exact match. The prices of these things were wild. The smallest ones were $42 dollars, which wood be over $1500 today's money. You could buy a Model T Touring for $850 in 1909, and these people were selling $126 knives 50" long. 

The catalog:

>If I make a new handle, I don't know if I'd want to do it with stabilized/rot resistant wood or whatever my investigation turns up as the original material.
It looks like the original handle was marline (spelled "marlin" in the catalog), a type small diameter hemp or flax cord/twine dipped in tar.  Somebody must have drilled holes though the handle to add wood scales later on.

It may have had wood under the cord. This isn't the same model, but the handle construction may have been the same.

I decided to cook some bitter melon this morning.  It was fried in a bit of sesame oil and pork fat with garlic, black pepper, banana peppers, and some leftover roast pork shoulder. I added a bit of soy sauce at the end. It was bretty good.

Hello.
I just got out of the bath. I hadn't had one in a while a decided to drink some hot sake while I soaked. I'm feeling bretty refreshed.   Sorry I've been slacking on the puzzles. I've been otherwise occupied recently. 

I think I'll post a bit, make some herbal tea, and settle in for an evening of playing New Vegas.
I bought some genmaicha today. I'm sipping on a cup and watching crap on yewtoob before going to sleep.  It's nice and toasty for the cold weather tonight.

I hope you are all doing well.
After a long day outside in the cold, I decided to pour myself a glass of Scotch and make a shrimple miso soup with potatoes and some leftover roasted pork.  I hope it will feel nice and warm.  

Have a nice rest of your weekend /comfy/.

Also, those mittens,  Outdoor  Research Stowe Aerogel Mittens, are fantastic if anybody is looking for a lightweight and packable pair.  They wood be great for anyone that needed to bring along something berry warm, but pocketable.  I sized up one size for more wiggle room and paired them with some merino liner gloves. They wood be perfect for camping or backpacking in the cold.

Mammoth I think is the biggest. Mongolian isn't quite as big but it's much taller.
>wild ones
My favorite wild one is the silver leaf sunflower which has fine woolly leaves that make it look blue silver. The Italian White variety of H. debilis I'm also fond of but I don't guess that counts completely as wild.

Looks like tonight or possibly tomorrow night will be the wind up of my garden. I wasn't ready to give up my marigolds because they had only fully started to bloom about 2 weeks ago so I dug them up. I'm also habby that after more than 2 decades of trying I finally managed to grow some chinese lanterns. I'll probably bring some of them in this winter and put the rest in a cold frame. I want to make sure they survive. I've also gotten 3 tiny pumpkins from my garden (I'll take some pictures when I can).

Today, I had a lot of fun cleaning the floors in the home. I ran up and down the hallway with a soapy towel, got on my hands and knees and scooby-doo scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors, and was completely exhausted and satisfied by the end of it.

>BIG Gratz!

I'm not sure how much of a "win" this is for me, if any. I don't really see it as anything gainful to my life. Well, actually, the only thing this has benefited me with is that the years I spend in uni are added as work experience by law, which means I get 5 more PTO days according to my country's labor laws.

I find this part of my life where I had to get up as early as 5 am to drive 1h for lectures up to 8pm, to drive back home, quickly go shower and sleep, so I could do exactly the same thing tomorrow, eberry two weekends for months, was a GIANT waste of my time. (I'm not sure how people in other places in the world go and study, but in my country one can take part in studying on the weekdays or the weekends - which was the only option for me because 1. I had to earn my keep because my mother threatened to quacking evict me if I didn't pay 50% of the bills RIGHT after getting out of technical school and 2. We had no money for the studies anyway, and my mother didn't think about paying my tuition fees.) I genuinely cannot tell anyone about any lesson I was taught there that was anything close to being useful. Way too much theoretical knowledge and not enough of the practical. I didn't even make friends there either. Most of the people there were hylics anyway.

When I drove there one last time to get th

Kinda the point of it, AFAICT. You pay others (well, we here in Burgerstan do) to inflict more pain, more work, and more wasted time on us to obtain that little bit of paper you eschew. The fact you hold that legitimate paper legitimately will eventually open doors otherwise closed to you. Be grateful you had a good program to graduate from is my advice.

>fatigue and concomitant apathy...
This too will pass, Anon. I pray you can manage to get some long, deep rest and an improvement to your diet soon. I'll pray for you Anon. Good luck.

You're doing well, Anon.
Keep.moving.forward.
