Now for some pictures

I love jamaica (hibiscus tea), but it’s a bit difficult to find, especially the way I like it: strong and not-too-sweet, the way the wonderful Chichen Itza in Los Angeles makes it. So I’m learning to make it myself, and after a few strange first attempts following some recipes with saucepans and limes, I figured out that it’s easiest to just drop a few calyces into one of my old tulip mugs and add boiling water. Old pictures:

a spoon on the stove

a glass of hot jamaica and a dismembered lime

Other weird sweets that I love: halvah, violet pastilles, brown goat cheese, rum chocolate, lingonberries, mooncakes (taro, lotus, red bean, chestnut, jasmine, date, etc.), rice pudding with cardamom, and far too many other things, especially purple ones.

When your boyfriend is an engineer

The other day, I came back from lunch and there was a note on my desk:

Mysterious.

Things noticed in San Francisco

on the bus

“Do not smoke, eat, drink, litter, or disturb other Muni passengers.”

on a bus stop ad

Gravity affects liquid differently in this ad.

in the garden of a shop

I think that Buddha is wearing Mardi Gras beads.

on the pavement

These curb street names are neat but sometimes a bit off.

Reading a book

My dad helped me move into my new room in Outer Sunset yesterday:

I have the weekend to explore, and then everything starts on Monday. :)
