I recently discovered a small local store that carries over a dozen varieties of cheeses made in our valley, plus local butter, and eggs. Tonight I used local eggs and butter together with cheese from Mt Pilatus to make this asparagus potato quiche. (Also, I love asparagus season.)

2847-1: Flyer, 1997. One of the smallest UFO sets, this little ship features posable wings, an alien with a transparent neon orange head … and not much else. UFO is the penultimate Space subtheme that I will cover. The cool printed helmet reminds me of the Predator.

Something I really enjoy is triaging work emails or catching up on my technical reading list from the top of a mountain. This morning it was reading NSHipster’s excellent article on WWDC 2019.
Morning hike up the Albishorn: 8.6 km, 470m ascent, 2h15m, 14°C, ⛅️. Panorama view of Lake Zürich from the restaurant at the top (where I stopped for a coffee and a breather).

Up next: LEGO Space starts to get really weird as aliens and flying saucers are introduced in the UFO subtheme.

RoboForce minifigures came in either neon orange or neon green color to match their mechs.

RoboForce, 1997 (4 sets)

Feast your eyes on 2154-1: Robo Master, 1997. The largest RoboForce mech features a large cockpit, scorpion-like tail, a spaceship that launches off its back, and two astronauts. A delightfully ludicrous sci-fi build.
