A New Direction

Hello on this beautiful Fall Saturday!!

The Mountain Musings MKAL has literally taken a new direction:

I had a lovely visit today with dear friend LL, who also brought some mini banana bread bundt cakes!  I made some experimental phyllo cups in which to spoon some fruit compote.  Success!  Everything was delicious!

Stay safe and well!

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
