Engineer, trying to kick the habit by doing humanities and science; that doesn't work but I like it. Not a specialist to "follow" for a single subject, but I might know how some things are connected. High Reading-to-TV ratio. Ardent #cyclist (MAMIL).

Yesterday I passed the 28,000 km cycling mark on the 293rd day of this year. In the course of that time I have been breathing about twice as much as a human at rest, *living more* in the most literal sense of the word. That's a fact, not an achievement.

This year I opened the last jar of quince jelly prepared by my grandmother: it sat on the shelve for 10 years, and surprisingly it was still delicious, but it was the last one. What to do?

Last weekend, my brother in-law gave me fresh quinces, and I borrowed the more than 50 years old steam juicer ("Tekla").

Yesterday I made quince jelly, a first!

Today I will try to make some kind of quince cheese from the (already prepared) soft parts of the pulp.

12 glass jars containing orange-red quinces jelly arranged in rows on a dark glass surface. Each jar is topped with a black lid. The photo exhibits significant motion blur. The background contains indistinct red and white patterns. The jars occupy most of the frame.
