A very colourful garden has been quietly growing at the back of the fridge. Luckily this is a spare, spare starter so I don’t even have to try and resurrect it, even though I could.

Of course I am going to resurrect my podcast episode about Celebrating Passover and Easter. Maybe a bit late for tonight's seder, but plenty of time for a little didactic baking next week.

I really enjoy using from @RogueAmoeba for more complex things, but I cannot seem to fathom the simplest thing. If I'm on a straightforward Zoom call using an outboard mic though a USB mixer, how can I get my mic into my headphones with zero latency?

As noted in the latest Eat This Newsletter, the new Plant Humanities Lab website is absolutely terrific, and would be even better with some sort of feed of new items. How about it, @DumbartonOaks ?

I'm not mad keen on subscription services myself, though I do pay for a few because they keep on delivering. Another twist to the story, though: when an app I am happy to pay offers a discount on a new version that my OS won't be able to handle until I get a new machine.

Replied to a post on matigo.ca :

I'm happy to cop to this. My motivation is certainly not jealousy. I'm not in the business of handing out rules for how other people should behave. It is more to do with the adulation others bestow not on the rules but on the person dispensing them. And it isn't the rules, per se, it is the rest of the stuff.

Fine episode of Gravy from @southfoodways, all about horchata. A little disappointed that @rachellaudan didn't bring English barley water into the story. Or if she did, that they cut it.
