Today I ate a new mammal

I enjoy trying different proteins besides the standard beef/pork/chicken/lamb. My list to date includes elk, alligator, emu, moose, rabbit, and snake. (That last one I feel no need to try again. It was so lean that even the mayo couldn't offset the gristly texture. Sort of like shredded elastic bands.) Today the Crooked Fork food truck had an alpaca burger on offer. He described as like a mixture of beef and lamb. Which I suppose is a place to start from, but I now know the flavour as its own thing. It was good!

He's promising kangaroo for Friday.

Reading Wednesday

This week: The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, Black Hearts in Battersea, The Stolen Lake, An Apprentice to Elves.

Bathroom book: Finished Ancillary Justice today, moving on to Ancillary Sword.

Bedtime book: Finished Cooking the Books by Kerry Greenwood last night. This was a reread, as are most of the books I read to fall asleep with. If I don't know what's going to happen next I will stay up all night to find out. Probably one of the InCryptid novels next.

Library book: Skimming re-read of Laurie King's The Beekeeper's Apprentice. I know I read it a couple of years ago; I think I'll come to the same conclusion that I don't want to continue the series.

DNF: The Scorpion Rules. Tried it after seeing it recommended, discovered it's Not My Thing.
