Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Yesterday, power of concentration and focus not working well, anxiety about various household things, I made apricot sauce for the Christmas ham.
Simple recipe, sugar and water, dried apricots simmered till tender, blended smooth, dash of vanilla, done.
And really good, not very sweet, nice to oppose the saltiness of ham. Also the lovely golden color contrasts with the color of ham. In the freezer now.
It's the first day of Hanukah, enjoy if you observe it. Long ago my son came home from nursery school singing the dreidel song, and with a little dreidel. I wasn't sure if it was a religious item not for casual handling, so I took it from him until I could ask a friend.
She said what sort of mom are you? It's a TOY, give it back to him right now! So my education was improved and he went on to adapt the dreidel song to all kinds of contexts. One time he was making worms from clay, singing oh flatworm, flatworm, flatworm, I made it out of clay..
So that's us today. Happy Sunday, beginning of Advent, too, if you celebrate it.
