The soup is made and stuffed away into the fridge. I must mix the dry ingredients of the cornbread together and then perform the heroic feat of making lemon cranberry muffins that I cannot touch until tomorrow. That will be interesting.

On a non-related note, because I am of an enquiring mind, I made a really ghetto-looking document displaying all the different gems with which Lucifer was adorned according to Ezekiel 28.



I always thought jasper was more a burnt-orange colour. It can be, but apparently its rarest and most precious form is the green shown. Fascinating.

And today's burning question: What is the difference between ENquiring and INquiring?

Answer to the burning question: NONE!

It was actually a major clue in an Agatha Christie book. For context, it was in England (of course) a couple years after WWII. And at that time, either form was perfectly fine; there weren't any indications that one form was preferred. The clue was that a person tends to stick to one or the other. Why would the lady have it written one way in her old diary, but in new notes user the other spelling?
