Sweet Woodruff smells so good

Sweet Woodruff

It’s definitely invasive, but our cluster is growing by creeping (not seeding) so it seems containable?

We grew some celery!

We planted the leftover base of a bunch of celery last year and it’s still growing.

My old manual focus 50/4 Pentax macro lens is so nice – great focusing action and smooth bokeh.

I made dulce de leche

Dulce de leche

I followed the “classic method” in this recipe at Epicurious. They say it takes up to 1 3/4 hours, but mine took at least 3 hours to get this dark. I used my Instant Pot though, and it took me a bit to figure out how to get the thing to simmer.

If you have an Instant Pot Duo, to achieve a simmer use the Saute setting on the “Less” setting – just press Saute until that’s highlighted. If that’s too bubbly for you then try Slow Cook on More, but with mine that setting wasn’t a simmer.
