Certainly Strange

As a self-professed enjoyer of elves, I was surprised to learn only recently that there’s an elf emoji!

I love them very much. Except for Apple’s elf emoji. It just looks like some guy. I think Facebook’s elf is the best, as it really captures the strange ethereal and fae quality in a way that others don’t.

We started fermenting the rocoto peppers about 24 days ago, and they just have been fermenting very slowly for some reason. So we finally called it and decided to blend/strain/reduce the sauce to finish it up.

I tell you hwat these rocoto peppers are spicier than the other peppers we usually use to make hot sauce! The hot sauce turned out quite spicy. But it is good!

We gave a bottle to our neighbor that grew the rocoto peppers in the first place.

A neighbor was selling a VR setup for cheap at a yardsale so we got it, and omg it is really really fun. Everything works, which is fortunate. I’d been curious about VR gaming for a while now, but not curious enough to pay full price.
