Tonight I used the broad-edged pen for the first time in years and practiced a gothic script, one of several I used to practice. I used to write in Italian rotundas, but tonight I tried a more compressed gothic that would've been typical of northern Europe.

San Franciscan garlic noodles I'd only recently learned of this dish from @/flinttheraccoon.bsky.social. I find it has similarities with congyou banmian (蔥油拌麵) and pasta aglio e olio.

A pot of San Franciscan garlic noodles set on a wooden table. The dish has a simple appearance, with spaghetti mixed with tamari soy sauce, garlic, and scallion slices and topped with black pepper and parmesan.

The view from a pizza restaurant earlier in the week. I got a tasty slice here before walking around the corner to hang out with some critters at a bar.

Spaghetti all'assassina I returned to this elegant but feisty recipe after coming across a different order of operations in its preparation. The result is no different from before, but the new way is more efficient.

Saw a cute scientific poster of red foxes at the Crafty Fox with @flinttheraccoon.bsky.social. Indeed as the poster says, we foxes are omnivores that eat berries, and that's why I tried a blueberry sour ale, the flavor of my favorite fruit 🦊🫐 The fried fish sandwich was also great of course.

A poster with some nature illustrations depicting the red fox and plants associated with its habitats. In pretty cursive script is written facts about the red fox throughout the poster. We foxes can jump over 2 meters high, have tails that exceed half of our body length, and can hear mice at a distance of 100 meters!A glass of blueberry sour ale beside a glass of pale ale.A tray with a fried fish sandwich, fries, and a pickled cucumber spear.A photo of a partially eaten fried fish sandwich shows the flaky white meat of the rock cod with lettuce, tomato, pickled onion, and tartar sauce.
