Three Tasty Things

[jesse_the_k]

• MyGuy makes BLTs twice a year. He sets aside three strips of crispy bacon for my delectation. This week I went wild: gluten-free buckwheat crackers generously slathered with creamy simple peanut butter and then crowned with bacon bits. It was a party in my mouth! All the textures, lots of tasty fat, lots much crunch.
• Oatly Chocolate Dessert is pretty damn wonderful. Oat milk brings a creamy mouth feel very close to milk. The chocolate is not as dark as I’d love, but being able to eat ice cream without starting a war in my guts is excellent.
• Another sky picture! Brown prairie, bare trees, rolling hills dominated by medium blue sky with five contrail artifacts and low clouds coming in from the south. Indian Lake Park, Dane Co, Wisconsin — 10 December 2020 — 50 degrees F

Oh. Definitely wouldn't be out doing bike maintenance in that! Nor riding either (cold maybe, snow absolutely not) so that would be okay.

Easier than you'd think

There are dedicated winter riders in Madison, and they've successfully lobbied to include the major bike paths in the "1st pass plow routes," which also include bus lines, hospitals, and (in other days) schools.

That's awesome! Plowing is barely a thing here at all.
