Cat pictures, analog things, travel picture dump, and personal musings. Little to nothing to do with actual cheese.
It is really tempting to water the lithops, but I know that I am not supposed to until the old leaves have completely dried up. No double splits this year unfortunately.
My echeverias were getting munched on and are just starting to recover. The flower stalks as well as some of the leaves were infested with some black aphid. I also ended up moving into a sunnier spot where they won’t get covered in pepper tree crap.
Lots of new leaves popping up on the baby toes.
I found some succulents (2x lithops and 1x fenestraria) at Ace Hardware the other weekend; We had stopped by to look for a couple of things after watching Beauty and the Beast (really enjoyed it, highly recommended). I had ended up repotting my lithops with the new plants into a one of the terrocotta pots that were discovered in a corner of the yard.
We drove up and spent the day at The Getty Center last Friday. The mother-in-law, who was in town that weekend had not been to The Getty Center yet so we figured this would be a perfect opportunity to go, particularly since we have had an itch to visit for a while. I chose not to bring my camera because I didn’t really feel like dragging it around all day; I did however snap a few photos on my phone:
I saw a recipe for this dish on YouTube the other day and decided to make it. Super easy marinade comprised of things that we for the most part had around the house; It wasn’t all that different than the homebrew teriyaki sauce that I make for other things. Very easy, quick, and tasty recipe. Here is a link to the video with the recipe. Also: So much for blogging regularly. Whoops.
I finally got around to pulling the pictures off of my camera and into Lightroom. I should in theory post at least some of them on Facebook or Flickr or something as requested instead of forgetting and then hoarding them on my harddrive per usual. It is way more convenient and way less cumbersome to just snap photos on my phone and then post them while waiting in line, but it is also far less satisfying than using an actual camera.
One thing is certain: Whenever it is that we get around to visiting Disney World again in future, it will not be in the middle of August. When we had visited Orlando in May 4 years ago, it was warm but not overly so. Nevertheless, we had a great time. I highly recommend taking the Keys to the Kingdom Tour in the Magic Kingdom if anyone has a chance.
