I’m working my way through past purchases. It’s been nice to at least spend time every Friday listening to a...One of the new accounts I’m following: @ColorOfBerlin. Tweets Berlin sky colours.
I think about Berlin a lot.
It has recent memories of good times & great people, but it’s also where my family is from.
A walk around our East Van neighbourhood looking at Christmas lights. Ferndale was the most magnificent.
Bandcamp Friday: Keleketla by Coldcut
As recommended by @carchrae, here’s one of my Bandcamp Friday purchases: Keleketla! By Coldcut: Future Toyi Toyi (Edit) Keleketla!Made sourdough focaccia today.
I’m getting the “sour” flavour, but only my first bread that I added commercial yeast to really worked.

If I have mate for lunch, apparently I stay up super late. Lesson learned, I guess?

Bandcamp Fridays: The Japanese House and Dirty Spells
I became aware of Bandcamp Fridays from Jessica @ticky and it just so happened that I was buying Good at Falling by The ...Picked up these “Heritage” beans from Pilot Coffee House at Propaganda.
I like this Classic <—> Adventurous scale. I am definitely on the more dark, rich “coffee” flavours rather than light and floral mango or whatever :)
It’s @duchesscosmo o’clock. Locally made, refreshingly tangy & not too sweet, and available for delivery in Vancouver.

I got sent this Azerbaijani Country Life Vlog video blog by @florence_ann and ended up watching the entire 45 minute video.
Yesterday’s lunch at Laksa King was a bowl of laksa, a bowl of mohinga (Fernando got a picture of it), and an order of roti canai
I made a chocolate cake to use up sourdough starter discard.

One of the few times I’ve stayed somewhere else on #bowenisland. Up on Eagle Cliff, looking out to Strait of Georgia and across to UBC. Wind and whitecaps.
My parents are moving today. Third move in 47 years they’ve been in Canada.

I should log my epic sandwich from yesterday’s lunch. Sourdough from Tall Shadow breads, polish mayo, pickle slice, Roma tomato, havarti, and salami.
Spicy udon bowl for lunch today. Onions, ginger, garlic, some diced red peppers & carrots I had laying around. Diced Roma tomatoes. Miso. Soy Sauce. Samba Oelek. Rice vinegar.
