Looks like it could have baked just a little bit longer, but it still looks good. I’m gonna have to go make one now too.
I like them with a spritz of lemon juice and powdered sugar. A little lemon zest in the batter is nice too.

How did you come to be interested in Mayan languages? And how did you go about learning them?
For me, it would have to be something nice, but not so interesting that I want to stay awake (Ariadne auf Naxos). Or something I’ve heard a million times (The Magic Flute).
Beethoven has always been calming for me, so maybe Fidelio too.
If you’re looking for beautiful music, maybe Tosca or Rusalka.
There are others that I wouldn’t necessarily fall asleep to, like Don Carlo, Pagliacci, Rigoletto, or La Traviata. This is a pretty good list of some of the best known operas.
Three months isn’t a lot of time, so I would talk to a lawyer sooner rather than later. Google employment lawyers in your area, or “attorney referral service [your state].” You should be able to get a free consultation.
Some lawyers may be able to tell you right away if they’ll take your case, but it may take a little time. And you may want to get more than one opinion. If you have any documents, round those up and hang onto them.
Both ways can work. Looking up words, and trying to guess the meaning from context. I use both, depending on my mood and the situation.
I like trying to guess the meaning because you have to think things through. That helps you remember the answer. Doesn’t matter if you got it right or wrong. It’s not always easy, but it gets better with practice.
You can usually look at the situation and narrow it down to a few possibilities. If my guess seems decent enough to get the gist, I keep going. Usually, you’ll find something that helps you figure out if you were right.
If I see a word several times, I usually look it up. Otherwise, it’s probably not that important (unless I happen to be curious).
And if I look up a word and forget it, no big deal. Happens all the time. I’ll either come across it again, or it wasn’t that important.
It can be slow going, no matter what option you choose. But if you keep at it, you can get to a point where you rarely have to look things up.
Fascinating! So oxygen from the air (or wherever) + hydrogen from food = water.
Plants can make their own food, and birds can make their own water :)
That’s what I thought too, but bones are about 1/3 protein with a lot of fat and minerals. Kind of like tonkotsu broth.
They also store well. If the vultures find more than they need, they’ll keep the extra bones in a storage place really high up. The fat content drops a lot when the bones dry out, but the protein is still there.
The downside is bones don’t have a lot of water, so bearded vultures need a source of fresh water in their territory.
Bearded vultures are pretty neat too. They pretty much only eat bones. They can eat surprisingly big chunks whole. Or if the bone is too big, they drop it onto a rock to break it up.
And they’re very peaceful, because they know no one is going to fight them for the bones.
Maybe it depends on what you watch. I use Youtube for music (only things that I search for) and sometimes live streams of an owl nest or something like that.
If I stick to that, the recommendations are sort of OK. Usually stuff I watched before. Little to no clickbait or random topics.
I clicked on one reaction video to a song I listened to just to see what would happen. The recommendations turned into like 90% reaction videos, plus a bunch of topics I’ve never shown any interest in. U.S. politics, the death penalty in Japan, gaming, Brexit, some Christian hymns, and brand new videos on random topics.
A pretty bird with striking eyes. I think I read that burrowing owls eat insects, but I didn’t know bigger owls did too.
Those are some of the cutest owls I’ve seen. I guess they’re mostly fluff, but they look a decent size considering they only weigh 3 ounces.
Here’s a link to the original song. The part the meme comes from starts around 0:45. It was a hit in 2004.
Other made up offenses include having a knife and having nothing but walking toward them
Or having a seizure on your kitchen floor.
Or having dementia and ending up at the wrong house because you think you live there.
Yeah, it’s kind of like eating raw flour. But extremely bland and weirdly minerally. Still better than kibble.
Were you standing inside something when you took this, or is the black frame something that was added later?
Oh hey, I love your owl posts. I always read the comments too because I know there will be more pictures and info. I’ve been meaning to comment there, but work got super busy and I forgot to stop by.
The ones that interest you the most will be easiest to stick with. I find things just through my general interests and poking around.
Favorite music genre? Listen to bands from different countries and see how they sound. TV shows, movies, and documentaries from other countries are another big one. Listen to the original language, see if it sounds interesting, maybe read a little about it.
Or maybe you know someone who you’d like to be able to talk with in their language. It could be anything. Pick one or two things to try and you’ll get a feel for what you like.
