Tink Tink Tink Tink

Hello on this tilapia fish cakes Monday!

That sound you hear is me tinking back several rows of two-color brioche in order to get back to close to the beginning of that section (but not too far - there's a bunch of double YOs and kpk into the same stitch that I want to avoid!).  It's slow going, but it will definitely be worth it in the long run!

We've had some much-needed rain today but it looks like some very hot weather is headed this way for the next couple of days!  We'll likely hide away in our various AC-cooled rooms and hope for the best!

No pics today - but will try for some coming up soon!

Stay well and safe :)

There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
