I have never bought nor tried the Sleepytime tea before. I just bought a box, and have brewed my first ever cup.
Hereās hoping I end up like that real comfy looking snoozing bear soon enough

The emergent theme of 2024, for me, is nuns.
Earlier this year I read the really long part of Les MisƩrables all about nuns.
Last month I read Henry Jamesā The American, in which the Carmelite convent in Paris ended up playing a significant part.
This one is on me but yesterday I wanted to watch a Jacques Rivette movie under three hours, of which there are quite a few but the one I picked was of course The Nun.
Today I started reading The Tombs of Atuan, which lo and behold is essentially about the nuns of Earthsea.
Indika is the coolest game out this year.
Might have to play through Bayonetta in the nun costume to round things out.

I just watched Le Pupille the other day, to add to the (unintentional) nun theming.

I recently figured out that with my oven, if you turn it to broil and then turn it back to another temperature, it will heat to that temperature using the top heating element instead of the bottom one. Nobody ever told me any oven did this.

Isnāt that what broiling is? Heat from above?
I suppose so, but nobody ever told me you could adjust the temperature of an oven broiling. I was taught to keep a close eye on anything broiling because it would burn quickly.

While the oven in my mom and dadās place where I live now letās you set a specific temperature on the Broil setting, the previous oven in my apartment only had two settings for broil, Low and High. Perhaps only newer or more fully featured ovens even give you that option.
Oh, wait, ok, I see what youāre saying, I just had to read it a few times. That kinda sounds like it might just be a strange quirk of a particular oven rather than a standard feature of ovens. I could be wrong, though. Iāve never heard that either and Iām not sure what it would be used for.

Oh wait, so ābroilā is on the temperature dial? I understand now!
Itās this way on mine too!!! I guess Iāve exposed myself as someone who doesnāt broil very oftenā¦
