🍳🌽🍞🌶🍋 Next cast-iron experiment: jalapeño-lime cornbread.
📚 Found “Mapping America”, a new book, at @SLCL this morning. Got through a couple chapters so far.
🥘🍗 The cast iron cooking continues at speed. Last night I made macaroni and cheese in one pan and cooked up some pork chops in the other. Tonight, fried chicken breasts for sandwiches and nuggets for the kids.
When you go grocery shopping and find a couple steaks marked down to sell today, you have a pretty decent lunch & leftovers.
📷⛰🌲 I was in Southeastern Illinois for a funeral yesterday morning, and realized that Garden of the Gods — which I had somehow never visited — was nearby. So after the funeral I did a little solo contemplation walk. Nice place.
In my pile of sheet music, I found a mediocre counterpoint composition I did in my first music theory course as a college freshman. I also found some schedules and grades, so I can tell you I was failing at it mid-semester but must’ve pulled out a passing grade.
Finally starting to catalogue my collection of sheet music and it might be overly revelatory.

I’m not into “the pop” as the kids say, but Lorde’s new album is a pretty pleasant listen!
