Write the scene I couldn't fit in to "von Stalhein in the Light" in which he tenderly cleans Biggles' face. That's it, that's the scene.

"Bake bread" is not on the poll because it's rising right now.

Regarding my poll yesterday, I read Biggles in the Terai, tidied the house a bit, cuddled my cats a lot, watched some more Andor, and dumped lot of dead leaves into the chicken coop - just in time, as it's been pouring all day. (To be clear, the chickens were never in any danger - their run just gets unhygienically gross.)

I am still looking for recommendations on delicious foods that can be shipped as a holiday gift to me. I have no dietary restrictions and eat everything. Hyper-local to somewhere not California is a plus

estara provided a link to delicious marzipan. While poking around the site, I discovered this peculiar figure, which sent me on a fascinating internet rabbit hole. Perhaps I will order a caganer figure as a holiday gift for one of the multiple poo-obsessed small boys in my life.

Finally, in this medley of extemporanea, I wanted to mention that I read Stephen Graham Jones' My Heart is a Chainsaw and will post a review on Tuesday, if anyone wants to read before then so they can discuss. I will post a non-spoilery review and link to sholio's spoilery discussion. It's a fast read and very good. Warnings for basically everything, but especially slasher-style gore/grossness.
