Add a little zing to it with green onion bulbs that isn’t all that appetizing in other uses.

Add sliced up grape tomatoes to it for some sweetness and a tad of sour to counterbalance the saltiness.
A Cute Little Bookstore in Agricola Street Books
I had a chance to visit a cute and cozy little used bookstore called Agricola Street Books. I was there during their book buy-back weekend, and while I waited for them to value my book for store credit, I made a quick walk around video, being very TikTok mind-oriented these days. When they were done, I basically had enough for the one thing I saw in the store I wanted, and made an impulse buy, something I rarely ever do. But for things Van Gogh, it’s easy to Tan Gogh and buy!
I edited it later, narrating it and putting the appropriately named Literature voice effect (voiceover) on it. It’s a female voice, but you see how effective and nice these voice effects are to keep a clean and even sound. And maybe you can understand why I prefer to use them rather than my own voice.
Charming little bookstore, don’t you think?
Tiny Origami by Me
I saw a 60s doc on someone who did tiny origami for a career! And I thought I’d try it myself, even though I have made smaller origami. The latter was with tweezers, and didn’t look great as it wasn’t supposed to, having been a test for Japanese potential surgery med students. Man, I mean talk about having confidence in your surgeons if they were able to fold a paper crane out of 1 cm square paper! At that small size, paper thickness relative to size becomes a factor because it doesn’t get 15X thinner just because you use paper 15X smaller in a square side, and 225X smaller in surface area!
How do you think I did? I have no intention of trying the crack the market to make a career, or even money, out of it, though.
Upped my Gift Wrapping Skills
Before Christmas, I was asked to volunteer to do giftwrapping for a charity. I was going to say no, only because I was a terrible gift wrapper, but I decided to finally remove a weakness I’ve had for over 50 years… despite being a good origamist who can fold paper like most people can’t!
