Mundanely interesting … today
Spent almost four hours making my first dozen batch of homemade Dominique Ansel’s Kouign Amann (DKA) pastry, with a soft, sweet, flaky croissant-like interior and a sweet caramelized outside crust. Not bad for a first attempt: taste- and texture-wise, it was pretty damned close to the original! It also worked well sandwiching a scoop of my other homemade creation, avocado ice cream.
Jiro continues to chase the sun throughout the house all day.
Jiro loves the sun. He’s learned to drag his bed to the spot wherever the sun is coming into the house at the time. And when it moves to the other end of the house later in the day, he just moves over to where it is and flops down on the floor.
The FINAL final touch to my spring time house number pillar project: a solar-powered LED spot light to help direct visitors at night.
The final touch to my spring time house number pillar project: a bed of white marble rock to dress it all up.
A little bit of Korean-style BBQ on my Japanese-style tabletop charcoal grill ("shichirin").
New toy, destroyed toy.
My new Eames Molded Plastic Dowel Leg side chairs arrived today. They match the live edge walnut top dining table much better, I think.
... and loving the freshly-mowed front lawn.
Treating the spa tub to keep it in tip-top condition, always-ready mode.
