LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 16: Flying Machine (2539), 1998. WTF even is this thing? Same dude as yesterday only this time flying something far less cool. Oh well, at least it came with some black wings I can put on that dragon.

Day 15: Bat Lord
LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 15: Bat Lord (6007), 1997. Basil the Bat Lord on his trusty dragon steed. Worth it for the dragon alone.
Bulb vs clove
Cooking confession: the first time I made pesto (nearly 30 years ago), I used dried basil instead of fresh and (having confused bulbs and cloves) two bulbs of raw garlic. We ate it anyway.
Mortar and pestle
Inspired by an episode of Salt Fat Acid Heat on Netflix, I made pesto with mortar and pestle for the first time. Only I made it with bärlauch (wild garlic) instead of basil. Smashing the crap out of the leaves and pine nuts felt very therapeutic! Will do again.
Day 14: Catapult
LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 14: Unnamed (1843), 1996. Catapult carts were a recurring theme in Castle sets. This one isn’t half bad (some were really tiny).
Breakfast for dinner
Fuck it. Making (vegan) pancakes and margaritas for dinner.
Day 13: Medieval Knights
LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 13: Medieval Knights (6105), 1993. 4 minifigs, weapons, and a horse. My favorite is the Wolfpack guy. The halberd and the plumes on the dragon helms feel overly elaborate.
Day 12: Magic Shop
LEGO Quarantine Advent Calendar, Day 12: Magic Shop (6020), 1993. Majisto totally isn’t Merlin. I’m not sure why he’s set up shop inside a tree. Includes another gray parrothawk.
Glow-in-the-dark ghost
Glow-in-the-dark ghost minifig, taken with and without Night Mode. No other processing.
