Almost forgot dessert. We have wild black raspberries growing in the nature preserve behind our house. They have a VERY limited season (3 weeks). I sent my son out with a bucket and told him to come back with it filled or don't bother coming back.
My wife made pie.
By himself! Isn't that boy too young to be alone!!!! BTW, no Cool Whip???
I remember years ago a hiking trip in north north Iceland, Hornstrandir to be precise, middle of nowhere, cold, 0.1 humanoid/km2.
Then passes by a 6 or 7 y old kid with his fly fishing rod, alone. Grand son of the president or something.. Lucky boy!
He studied Athens and Sparta in school last semester, so he knew exactly what I meant.

I wonder if he got to the article in "The Journal of Law and Economics" which explains how the topographies thus economies of Sparta and Greece differed, leading one to have slaves and the other free men.
And you'll be interested to know that "The wine dark sea" is actually wine dark.

hand forged damascus blade with huon pine wood'n scabbard
made by a well known small production artisan in Tasmania John Houslow-Robinson. its not just damascus covered, its some many hundreds of layers of folded high carbon steel, not sure of exact alloy
$550 .. my Shun is excellent, but a touch too large for some things and the more Satori style blade on this will make it rather useful, likely to slice fingers off with a graze, a knife to be respected.

I agree I would like to add a Damacene knife to my arsenal, I like my Misume UX-10 at razor sharpness.
I am trying something for the first time. I bought some local cherries last week, and picked up a bottle of Maraschino liqueur. Filled a mason jar with pitted cherries (and their pits, which apparently contribute an almond-like flavour) and topped it up with the booze. Should have real Maraschino cherries in a couple of months, just in time to make some winter Manhattans!
(also baked a cherry pie of course... oh yeah)

Next day FEDEX maybe, just like they get the lobsters in Chicago.
Have you tasted the difference between Brown red lobsters( what we call american/canadien lobsters) and blue lobsters ( we call them bretagne/ norway lobsters); is there a difference,
Over here big price difference
