Last night I got to make another pysanky at Cthulhia's. I was remembering a beautiful huge mizrach [1] Scott made (with magic markers), but his piece was beautiful, and this egg needs more on it than I put. Not horrible, just not a useful sort of design for this medium. *sigh* OK, cross-hatching next time, really. (The other egg from the time before got the wax melted off, and I like how the red looks rather tie-dyed.)
And as I was leaving I got to see Prog (has it been *that* many months since we've seen each other?), which was cool. Always good to hear how my breakfast relates to Faust... (why can't I remember what I deemed "the phrase of the day"? Prog?)
The vast quantity of leftovers has let me have pretty nice meals without much work. Yesterday's breakfast involved mixing the spicy eggplant with the roasted potatoes onions and garlic. Today's included an artichoke, and water crackers topped with chavrie (mild goat cheese) and tomato. Yum.
[1] A mizrach (lit. "east") is a thing, usually a pretty thing, hung on a wall in some Jewish homes to indicate which way is east, which is the direction to face for prayer (well, really, towards Israel/Jerusalem, but Jews seem mostly to have moved west of Israel...). I've seen ones that were collages, or needlepoint, or magic marker. Pretty much any design, as long as the word "mizrach" (well, in Hebrew letters, usually), though some incorporate Jerusalem.
