A lone, feather earring found in the back alley this morning makes a dandy Christmas tree ornament.
As photographed while watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" this evening after work. Ahhhhh.
Getting home after work today was quite the challenge. The northbound CTA Red Line was going only as far as the Addison station (where Wrigley Field is) due to police activity at the Wilson stop, two stops north of Addison. Here's a link to the story from the Chicago Tribune: www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-police-act...
My stop is eight stops north of Addison.
They were running an alternate northbound bus for Red Line riders, but thinking I was outsmarting the hoards of evening commuters, I walked west on Addison to Broadway, intending to catch the northbound 36 bus. As it turned out, a crowd of people also had the same idea.
So after walking north on Broadway to the northbound 151 bus stop, I was able to board.
The problem was that *both* northbound 151's were going only as far as Foster, which is still a good ways from where I live.
So after deboarding at Foster, I boarded a 136 which basically brought me to my front doorstep.
It was such a relief to be home. Then Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang popped up on TV and made everything better.

We had ingredients leftover from making vegan gimbap for Jade's restaurant last week. So my mom decided to make improvised gimbap using the bounty growing in my tiny share of the garden: perilla leaves, chives, and cinnamon basil she accidentally pulled up thinking it was a weed. Here's what went in:
Pickled daikon
Lightly sauteed carrots seasoned with a little soy sauce and sesame oil
Some had cinnamon basil and chives, others had perilla
Egg
The cinnamon basil is pictured. I had picked it up thinking it was holy basil (Thai variety) but the guy at the farmers market told me it was cinnamon basil. It really does have the subtle smell and flavor of cinnamon.
