There were some ice floes on the Hudson in the Highlands section this morning (Garrison to Beacon). Nice to see some ice on the river.

Stratification of my workshop dust collection bag.

Observation: I remember very little about the Blinkist summaries I “read” (perhaps consumed is a better word) a few years ago, whereas I remember a lot about the full-length books I read a few years ago.

Perhaps I wasn’t taking the Blinkist summaries seriously or there is a selection bias going on (I chose to read the full version of things I was interested in and was thus more engaged), but either way they were a waste of time.

I love this store map at Bruised Apple Books.

I made red curry soup with leftover turkey. Nice change in flavor profile from yesterday’s meal.

Turkey is spatchcocked and dry brining, cocktail syrup made, green bean casserole assembled, and gravy is on the stove.
