Updated grain melange oatmeal: steel cut oats, bulgur, red lentils, white lentils, amaranth, and hemp hearts. Made using rice cooker.

Thanks to folks who gave me recs the other day for additional grains! In the second photo you see what it looks like coming out of the rice cooker.

Dream yesterday in Rotterdam

Crew team (1st photo) and swan (4th) for scale. Plus one of vintage trams Rotterdam runs on a city-tour route thurs-sundays. First time I’ve seen a DCL ship in Rotterdam.

Not quite an ocean liner… but an ocean liner themed cruise ship

This is the Dream today in Rotterdam. If you can ignore the slide, I think the older DCL ships don’t look half bad. I think this is a case of “hyperreality” as Baudrillard would describe it… this ship is designed to look like the depiction of ocean liners in media. The symbolic depiction of the real thing has become the actual real thing (sort of), blurring the distinction between the two. Or something.

Also, I love Rotterdam’s cruise terminal… it’s so well integrated with the city.

I make this melange using a rice cooker. It’s steel cut oats, rolled oats, bulgur, and red lentils. What else should I add?

BR81 Steam Locomotive from Stone Heap. Passenger cars to come.

Picked this up at the Meijer & Blessing model store in Rotterdam (highly recommend it). First non-official Lego set I’ve ever built. There’s a few questionable moves, connections, and custom pieces that Lego would never do, but I’m really happy with how it turned out… especially compared to the price. Just look at it!

Normandie in the LA River!

Meant to post this back on 4/1… from a Los Angeles Public Library Instagram post: “Printed on April Fools Day 1950, a giant ocean liner is shown traveling down the LA River.”
