SF
I got tickets to go to SF at the end of March, partly because I realized there are people I'd like to see there. If you're in SF and would like to say hi, feel free to drop me a line. I'll be in town Mar 26-28. -
Mystery Hunt
Mystery hunt was this weekend. Puzzles are all up and unlocked at:
ihavetofindpeach.com/puzzles/
Running the hunt was more hectic than I remembered from last time (I bet I've just forgotten), but I had a good time. I didn't write any puzzles, but did testsolve many metas, and helped with construction of several puzzles ( The Cat's Meow and A ( Read more... ) -
Housing
I am trying to find somewhere to move to in the next few months.
I would like somewhere in the north red line area (central-harvard-porter-davis-alewife), preferably in a place with other people. If you know of anyone looking for a housemate, or a group looking for a new apartment, I'd be interested in hearing about it. -
Jam
I made blueberry jam last night. First time I've made blueberry, and it came out sweeter than I'd hoped, but the honey flavor came through stronger than on other flavors, which was interesting. I also was able to make it myself, on a weeknight, in an hour or two. I like knowing enough about doing this to be able to do it as an evening project ( Read more... ) -
Fried Pickles from Clover
The Clover truck was making fried pickles this week (after 4pm only, next week it will be fried plantains.) As I have a minor obsession with fried pickles, I had to try them. I was not as impressed with their fried pickles as I am with much of their food. The batter stuck well to the pickles, but wasn't very interestingly flavored. The pickles ( Read more... ) -

Today NSTAR came to check our meter and pipes and told us we had two gas leaks. Small ones, no need for panic. Still, not something I expected. They put wax over them and will schedule an appointment later to replace the pipes and part of line to the street, which is also not up to spec ( Read more... ) -
Herbs and veggies
Does anyone have any interest in any garlic scapes or fresh garlic? I dug up a whole pile yesterday afternoon because it was in the way, and it's far more than we can use anytime soon and I don't have anywhere to put it. I have no idea how the bulbs taste when harvested this time of year. Along those lines, if anyone wants oregano plants, they' ( Read more... ) -
New Lilac
I went out to a garden store today with one of J's aunts to look for a plant in the rain (slightly long story) and got a dwarf lilac for the stepped raised bed in the back of the yard. I'm not quite crazy enough to plant it in the middle of thunderstorms. Hopefully I can do that tomorrow. -

I've spent far too much time spent thinking about dishwashers lately. ( Ugh. )
