kaberettThoroughly blissed out.
I don't know quite what I've done to deserve such awesome people and such awesome science in my life, but whatever it was, THANK YOU UNIVERSE.
In vaguely related news, yesterday (among other things) the nice student GP gave me PHQ 9 [pdf, content note: depression] to fill out. It's scored from 0 to 27, with scores of 20-27 being classed as "severe depression".
In January - the previous time I filled one out - I scored about 24.
Yesterday?
Yesterday I scored six, and most of those points were actually clearly attributable to the fact that I've got chronic fatigue and spent the weekend travelling.
I WIN.
One of the things I did this evening was use up a bunch of leftovers. Specifically, there were some strawberries that were starting to turn, so I sliced off the unpleasant bits and stuck them in the fridge while, in a pan, I combined:
... and simmered it all up until it was syrupy.
And then I poured it over the strawberries, to general sounds of nom, and lo it was good and I shall create it again some time.

- 1/4 bottle red wine (also a leftover)
- small handful of black peppercorns
- star anise
- sprinkle of nutmeg
- one allspice berry
- ALL THE SUGAR SERIOUSLY YOU LOT SO MUCH BROWN SUGAR
... and simmered it all up until it was syrupy.
