Thursday evening things

 * Got all the catch-up grading done, taught my classes, and I also changed over to the last extraction (3 of 3) of the soils that I collected (I break this one down Saturday; they get 48 hours). 

* I had some cabbage in the fridge that was still good, so I made okonomiyaki. This is one of my favorite simple meals and I make it a couple times a month. It rarely comes out looking so perfect so I took a photo for posterity:


Yes, that's a bottle of the famous "Kewpie" Japanese mayonnaise next to it; the wal mart here carries it, and yes, it's better than the kinds (Duke's or Hellman's) I've bought before.

*I had a little time to relax tonight (for a change), so I worked more on the mitts. I'm within a couple rows of being done with the thumb gusset:


 The staggered-rib pattern is more clear when you stretch it out (like when they are being worn; there is a little negative ease built in)


 * I've also been working on the blanket but it's not at a photogenic stage, but it does feel like I'm getting close to finishing it. I'll be glad when it's done; I've worked on it on and off (mostly off, to be honest) since 2022.
