i heard it's like 75 in December, i cannot wait. Jen made us this incredible itinerary, we only have to get up before 10 once

Oaxaca and Puerto Vallarta. the first for the culture, the second for the all-inclusive resort

trust a baker to give you some insane instruction like "hold at 100F"

i had very little info going into Dragonfall, it's not usually my kind of game. it permanently raised the bar for me. one of a very few games where the writing was so good i would get antsy at work

i strained it, because i got cheap dry herbs and there were a few twigs in there. you can also do it with a full cup of chopped fresh herbs.

the hardest part was the temp. even the smallest burner on the lowest setting was getting it up to 140, so i just sat the pot near the fire instead of on top of it, which worked

i got the infused olive oil from a book called The Bread Baker's Apprentice. you just put a third of a cup of dry herbs plus a couple sliced cloves of garlic into 2c olive oil, and heat it to 100F for as long as you want to wait
