~ do not be tempted to cook with the beautiful, smooth, fragrant, white inner bark of an oak tree. it's bitter as hell.
~ once you have had the iPhone above, you cannot go back to an iPhone below. i smashed the screen on my 4S the other day and am borrowing a friend's 4 while it's at the iPhone hospital. the 4 is not the same as the 4S - it's slower and apparently cannot be used for actual phone calls (not that that bothers me all that much). i guess i didn't really know this as i went from 3S to 4S back in the day.
~ oak is heavy. really, really heavy.
~ a photo of a baby bunny is almost a shoe-in to go explore on flickr.
~ not all writing is equally easy. the more you care about it and the closer you are to it, the harder it is.
~ good things really do come to those who wait - we've waited three years to eat the first asparagus from our garden. it was heavenly.

it feels like it's the weekend, but it's only thursday. that's because it's ascension day in denmark and therefore a holiday. because the danes are so religious and all. not. but hey, it's like having a saturday already on thursday, so i'm not complaining. here's hoping your thursday had all the goodness of a saturday as well.

red oak or white oak? to check, look at the end grain of a crosscut section… it should look like a bundles of very tiny drinking straws. if the "straws" appear to have a cottony-looking filling then that's white oak. if they're open, that's red oak. the clogged cells are the reason white oak is used for oaken buckets and wine barrels.
