We had lovely warm (unseasonable) weather yesterday, and now it's back down to freezing temperatures again. :( I know it's supposed to be cold here this time of year, but that brief glimpse of spring was so nice. I am not built for winters. Bring back the nice warm weather and the birds and the green!
At least the sun is shining, and we're out of the darkest weeks of the year. My goal for tonight is to do the dishes, and cook something. Could be scones, could be chicken, whatever. I've got both. But something needs to go in my oven.
Canned tuna helped get me through college, and I still have a soft spot for it even as an adult. I love me a classic tuna melt, and if you do too, this budget-friendly recipe definitely has your name on it. There’s something nostalgic about a diner-style tuna melt that’s slathered in butter and then crisped to perfection. The crunchy toast hugs the creamy, savory tuna salad filling, sandwiched between the warm, gooey richness of melted cheddar cheese. It’s essentially a grilled cheese taken to the next level.
Easy classic tuna melt Recipe
Tuna melts are one of those sandwiches I never get bored of making. There are endless ways to jazz them up—adding capers, lemon, fresh herbs, yogurt, mustard, hot sauce, or crunchy veggies like cucumber or peppers. Between switching up the bread and cheese and layering in extras like avocado, tomato, or bacon, I almost never end up with the same sandwich twice.
I like to keep my tuna melt simple, and combine the tuna with my favorite pickles, sharp red onions, crunchy fresh celery, and creamy mayo. Whether you’re reliving dorm room dinners or just craving something cozy, this tuna melt hits the spot every single time!
Recipe Success Tips
Work in batches if needed. My skillet could only fit two sandwiches at a time, so I had to work in batches. Feel free to cook all the sandwiches at the same time if your skillet can accommodate them.
Drain the tuna really well. This ensures there is no excess water to dilute the flavor.
Watch the pan carefully. Be careful with the butter as it burns easily. Don’t take your eyes off the pan for too long or the bread will burn. I love getting the bread nice and crispy so the cheese melts into the tuna, and I get a delicious creamy burst of flavor and texture with each bite.
Thin cheese slices. Pre-sliced cheddar cheese is nice and thin, but if you cut your own, make sure the slices aren’t too thick, or they won’t fully melt.
Use a sturdy bread. You want to make sure it can hold all the goodies we are putting in this sandwich.
A nostalgic diner-style tuna melt with buttery, crisp toast, savory tuna salad, and warm, gooey melted cheddar. Pure comfort food that's like a next-level grilled cheese.
In a medium bowl, fold together the drained tuna, diced celery, red onion, pickles, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper until combined.
To assemble the tuna melts, lay out the sourdough bread and top each piece with a slice of cheddar cheese. Divide the tuna between four slices of bread, then close with the remaining 4 slices to form the sandwiches.
To cook the tuna melts, melt 1 Tbsp butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Toast two sandwiches for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Then add another tablespoon of butter, carefully flip, and cook for 3 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and butter.
how to make a classic tuna melt STEP-BY-STEP photos
Gather and prepare all ingredients.
Prepare the tuna: In a medium bowl, combine 2 5-oz. cans tuna, 2 celery ribs, ½ small red onion, 2 dill pickle spears, ⅓ cup mayonnaise, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper, mixing until well combined.
Assemble the sandwiches: Lay the sourdough bread on a flat surface and top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Divide the tuna mixture between four slices of bread, then cover with the remaining 4 slices to form the sandwiches.
Cook the sandwiches: Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Toast two sandwiches on one side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Then add another tablespoon of butter, carefully flip the sandwiches, and cook for 3 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and butter.
Serve: Serve the sandwiches with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
serving suggestions
When I serve a tuna melt, I like to round it out with sides that balance all that cheesy, buttery goodness. Crispy chips are a must, especially when paired with fresh veggies dipped in homemade hummus for a little crunch and freshness. If I’m in the mood for something cozy, a bowl of butternut squash soup makes the perfect comforting companion. And on nights when I want to lean fully into comfort food, air fryer french fries are always a winning choice.
Storage and Reheating
If you don’t want to make all 4 sandwiches at the same time, the tuna salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
If you’ve prepared the sandwiches and toasted them, but there are leftovers, wrap them up tightly and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat by popping them in the toaster until the cheese melts and the bread crisps up again.
A “wintry mix” forecast always feels like meteorology throwing up its hands. I don’t remember hearing it much before this year, but it perfectly captures the uncertainty of those near‑freezing days when 10 mm of sleet could just as easily become 10 cm of snow. A few degrees decide everything, and the term admits exactly that.
Ailz purchased a TV license last year so she could watch the tennis with a clear conscience. I may have watched a movie or two on the BBC over the past 12 months. I forget. Modern movies are pretty forgettable, don't you find?
But yesterday I binge watched Mackenzie Crook's new series Small Prophets- which is going out on BBC 2. I like Mackenzie Crook so much that I'm willing to overcome my disgust with the Beeb for his sake. Small Prophets is gentle, mischievous, magical and funny in an Ealing sort of a way. Crook himself has a supporting role, as does Michael Palin. No-one else in the cast is hugely well-known, but they're all terrific. I have two episodes still to go. There's a mystery of seven years vintage hanging over the characters and some dodgy business underway but I don't expect any of it to be resolved by gunplay....
Ro Khanna had a quick look at the unredacted Epstein files, found the names of six men that had been obscured by blocks of black ink and duly passed them on to the rest of us.
Nice going Ro!
As of this moment we have info on three of them (says the Guardian)
Les Wexner is already part of the story: Very, very rich man who employed Epstein as his financial adviser.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem: Another very rich man. Appears he's the fragrant flower who sent Epstein a "torture video" that Epstein enjoyed
Nicola Caputo: A little more obscure. There's an Italian politician of that name. Might not be the same guy.
The other three are just names at present. I imagine we'll eventually find out more....
In other news it seems that A British P.M. enjoyed a threesome with Epstein and Ghislaine. The word on the street is that this wasn't Theresa May.

While a part of the United States braved extreme winter cold, January 2026 brought sweltering summer conditions to many parts of Australia.
Australia’s area-averaged mean temperature was 1.90 degrees Celsius (3.42 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1961–1990 average, making it the fourth-warmest January since the start of observations in 1910, according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). Contributing to this was a late-month heatwave in the country’s southeast that was especially intense between January 26 and January 30. During that period, numerous weather stations in South Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria recorded record-high daily temperatures.
The heatwave’s intensity and extent are evident in this map, which shows air temperatures at 03:00 Universal Time (2 p.m. local time in Victoria) on January 29, modeled at 2 meters (6.5 feet) above the ground. It was produced with a version of the GEOS (Goddard Earth Observing System) model, which integrates meteorological observations with mathematical equations that represent physical processes in the atmosphere. The darkest reds are where the model indicates temperatures reaching or exceeding 45°C (113°F).
According to BoM, the hottest temperatures of January 2026 were measured in two places in South Australia: in the town of Andamooka on the 29th and at the Port Augusta airport on the 30th, where temperatures reached 50.0°C (122.0°F). In both New South Wales and Victoria, the month’s hottest day was on the 27th, when temperatures reached 49.7°C (121.5°F) at a station in Pooncarie and 48.9°C (120.0°F) at stations in Walpeup and Hopetoun.
The heatwave brought significant human and public-health effects, including the increased risk of heat-related illness. Organizers of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, Victoria, suspended play on some courts and closed roofs to provide shade as part of an “extreme heat policy” to protect players and spectators, according to news reports.
The recent warmth followed another bout of heat earlier in the month that, combined with strong winds and dry conditions, created dangerous fire conditions. Numerous bushfires were burning across Victoria on January 9 as officials urged people to evacuate. By mid-month, news reports indicated that the fires had destroyed hundreds of structures and killed tens of thousands of livestock.

I slept again to almost 12:00, then got up and had breakfast and coffee.
Then after that I worked on the Starsky and hutch valentine's Day story. I worked on it basically all day, and by some time after 6:oo I had finished it. Except for a title, and I'd like to come up with a snappier last line than it has. But aside from that it is done. I will look at it again tomorrow and edit it as needed, and be ready to post it on Valentine's Day.
At 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB. We had some odd technical difficulty this time, but we worked it out.
Got off in time to have my Al-anon meeting by Zoom at 8:00. It was quite good. S was there but not M, so as always when she's not there I worry about her.
After the meeting I had dinner, and then went to the bedroom to lay down and play solitaire.
My Stephen Colbert Pop has still not arrived. I am annoyed.
The Kid texted me with good news about Carmina (her cat), so I'm happy about that.
I've just changed my journal layout to Modular by branchandroot and I'm having issues putting a header banner in. I want it to show above the header box with the journal title, 'Latest entries' etc in - at the top of the page below the nav bar - but the CSS code that I know puts it in the header, in that box.
What should I change in order to position the header above that top box? (It doesn't look as if posting the image URL into the provided area in the Images area of 'Customise your theme' does anything at all, so that's not much help either.)
It's been a long time since I changed my journal layout, I'm willing to accept I might be missing something really obvious!
Last month I reviewed A Guide to Earth History, our first foray into the world of Maurice Wilson’s illustrations in quite some time. At the end of said article, I asked readers (we still have them!) to let me know where I might find more Wilson excellence, and Alexander Guridov duly answered – by sending me scans of Fossil Amphibians and Reptiles, first published “BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTORY)” in 1954, with this second edition arriving in 1958. Not only does it contain artwork by Wilson, but it also provides “a conspectus of the subject which can not only be used by the visitor in the galleries but perused at leisure subsequently”! Sounds like a right old laugh – let’s, as they say, dive in! I must admit that I don’t have all of the text, for this is a rare instance in which I’ve been sent selected scans of someone else’s book, but it would appear to be a roller coaster ride quite typical of William Elgin Swinton, whose ideas on dinosaur biology didn’t age at all well, and will likely best be known around these parts for the oft-reprinted Dinosaurs (from […]
Title: A Desolation Called Peace (Teixcalaan #2) Author: Arkady Martine Genre: Sci-fi, fiction
A Memory Called Empire left me in such a place that I of course had to rush after the sequel, A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine. In the second book of this duology, we're tackling the bomb dropped at the end of the last book: that a hostile alien force has been picking at the borders of Teixcalaanli space.
This became a first contact story, which delighted me, because I love first contact stories. The book posits another interesting philosophical question to the readers. Darj Tarats wants Teixcalaan to go to war with these new aliens, because it would likely drag on for quite some time, sucking up Teixcalaan's resources and keeping them focused on something other than colonizing Lsel Station, and might even destroy them in the end. Mahit does not want Teixcalaan to go to war with these new aliens because it would be an unnecessary and vast loss of life on both sides, and because in spite of its nature as an empire, there's so much Mahit likes about Teixcalaan, even though peace allows Teixcalaan much more time and resources to potentially conquer Mahit's home.
Book 2 breaks into a mulit-POV style, which works very well I think for giving us a 3D view of the situation when first contact is made and what happens after. Emotions, naturally, are running very high on all sides, so getting to see many characters' thoughts is helpful to understanding this house of cards.
Martine does a great job I think of presenting us with aliens that are alien, but still people. The question is whether they and the Teixcalaanli can work that out before someone does something fearful.
She also does well with layering Mahit and Yskander here. There are a few conversations Mahit has that hit so much harder now that we have a full picture of Yskander and how long the ambassador to Teixcalaan has been kicked around the Lsel council like a football as they all pursue their own best course for keeping away from Teixcalaan. Knowing that that fragment of Yskander is there, seeing the fallout of his own death and how it came about makes these conversations especially powerful.
The story is laid out gradually and builds to a believable conclusion. The ending is slightly abrupt--there's not really any denouement--but it didn't shortchange the story.
One of the perspectives we see in this book is imperial heir Eight Antidote, now 11. And he's either quite precocious, or Six Direction was agenius, which is possible. This kid's a regular Johnny-on-the-spot, but he is also a narrative tool representing a very different future for Teixcalaan than Emperor Nineteen Adze represents. He is Six Direction unencumbered by years of war and politicking; he is Six Direction without the grim, dog-eat-dog-world attitude of an adult raised by Empire. But he's also young and vulnerable; he represents a Teixcalaan that could be--but also one that could so easily be smothered in its crib, a fate Nineteen Adze is desperate to avoid.
Mahit and Three Seagrass continue to struggle, even more than in the last book, with the nature of their relationship. Three Seagrass is pure Teixcalaanli, and can frequently be insulting without meaning to, but Mahit is also primed by years of Teixcalaan's cultural chauvinism to see insult even where none was intended. I felt like they landed, by the end of the book, somewhere believable--although I would absolutely read more about them if Martine was offering!
I didn't notice this book having the issue with repetition that I found in book 1, so that was a nice improvement as well.
I was worried at the end of the last book how the story would handle this shocking, massive plot drop, but I think Martine did it very gracefully. It feels like a natural continuation of book 1 while still expanding the focus of the story. I would love to see more of this universe, but I'm also satisfied with where we've left things. There are no easy answers to what to do about Teixcalaan, but that doesn't feel unrealistic either. Well done all around!
Just finished a 1,500-line code review and my brain is now a NullPointerException. I've stared at so many brackets I'm starting to see code in my peripheral vision. Accepting donations of Monster, ibuprofen, or a complete memory wipe. LGTM? More like 'Let God Take Me' at this point.
We finally got a local AI instance at work. The AI apps like LocalAI are really easy to install. The issue is the amount of processing power needed. I don't have anything, nor can I afford anything, capable of running it with anything resembling a useable speed.
NB: LocalAI is such a bad product name. It makes googling about working with a local AI (two words) harder than it has to be
We have been using AI tools for a while now. Everyone in tech likely is, despite the general yowling about its badness across the internet. Companies that haven't figured out how to use AI are not going to be here in a short while. AI tools don't just give tech folks an edge, they triple (or more) productivity. So much of tech is digging through documentation, validating testing, and setting up systems. AI tools reduce that work from hours and sometimes days, to minutes or hours.
If you've been in systems for any length of time, you have probably run across the concept of toil. The Google SRE handbook defines toil as work that is manual, repetitive, automatable, scales linearly (bad), and a few other things. AI basically eliminates toil by giving it to the clonkers to do, so humans can do what they do best - imagine, create vision, give direction and mentorship.
Of course we have been using the cloud AI tools previous to this, but that was limiting. Nobody should be sending company or customer data to any cloud service, including AI services. Thus, there was a limit to what we could use the cloud AI tools for. Writing scripts? Usually OK. Configuring systems? Generically yes, but not to the point where we could leverage the agentic part because that would mean giving access to our systems and credentials. Parsing large data sets? Generally off the table as the data sets usually contain customer or proprietary data. Auditing code? Dicey...most of that is considered intellectual property.
All that is back on the table with a local AI isolated from the internet. The remaining toil in my role can probably all be pushed to the clonker and I can get back to the fun parts of my job. It will be interesting to see if the AI can eliminate that toil altogether by automating it, or if we will land on middle ground where at least the humans don't have to do it. I am looking forward to pushing new tools out to use it, and redirecting existing tools to it while expanding what the tools can give to the AI.
This era in computing isn't quite as exciting as the internet coming into being in the 90s but it is close.
Sort of jelly that my manager is off to Phoenix today. Twenty‑six degrees and sunshine would be a welcome reprieve from the cold and snow we’re slogging through up here.
On the brighter side, I’ve got a new production blank cassette from Recording the Masters on the way. A friend tossed a few artist suggestions my direction, and I’m curious to see how this tape stock handles them. I won’t name names, but let’s just say a mixtape steeped in late‑’80s to early‑’90s blue‑eyed soul feels like the right test.

They say (Suetonius says) that the Emperor Tiberius had his own Epstein island. It was called Capri.
There are those who have thought, "No that can't be true. No-one could be as depraved as Suetonius makes out". Among them was the doctor/writer Axel Munthe- who had a home on Capri and wrote a sort of autobiography called The Story of San Michele- which happens to be a favourite book of mine. He presents Tiberius as a philosopher king, too good for the dirty world of politics, who took to his island to think deep thoughts. When I was a kid there was a TV show called The Caesars, later eclipsed by I Claudius, which took the same line. Tiberius was played by Andre Morrell- now best known for his roles in Hammer horrors- and I still fondly remember the aura of kindliness and wisdom he gave off.
But now- after Epstein- what reason can we have for doubting Suetonius? People with unfettered power- emperors and suchlike canaille- will and do behave atrociously. And it serves nobody to be in denial.
Another example from history: In the 15th century there was a French nobleman called Gilles de Rais, who rode with Joan of Arc then retired to his castles in Brittany and- well- never mind. He got caught and made an example of, perhaps because he wasn't quite rich and powerful enough to deter the law. Or perhaps because he was an outlier- and not part of an organisation or brotherhood that knew how to protect its own.
It's become a cliche to say we live in dark times. No we don't. This is the end of the dark times. Light is being beamed into the secret places. And we need to pay attention and say "Enough!"
Northern Japan, especially the island of Hokkaido, is home to some of the snowiest cities in the world. Sapporo, the island’s largest city and host of an annual snow festival, typically sees more than 140 days of snowfall, with nearly 6 meters (20 feet) accumulating on average each year. The ski resorts surrounding the city delight in the relatively dry, powdery “sea-effect” snow that often falls when frigid air from Siberia flows across the relatively warm waters of the Sea of Japan.
However, despite the region’s familiarity with heavy snowfall, winter 2026 got off to a disruptive start. A series of intense storms in January and February repeatedly paralyzed transportation systems, closing airports, snarling roadways, and suspending trains. Following storms that dropped more than 2 meters (7 feet) of snow in Aomori, a city on the island of Honshu just south of Hokkaido (out of frame), authorities deployed troops to help clear roofs, according to news reports. The snow has caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries, according to Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency.
On February 5, 2026, the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this image of snow-covered landscapes across Hokkaido. With more than 31 active volcanoes, the island features several large caldera lakes, including at least five that are visible in the image. (Calderas are large depressions formed by volcanic eruptions.) In the east, forested windbreaks around Nakashibetsu form a checkerboard pattern, while to the north, swirls of drifting sea ice adorn the Sea of Okhotsk.
The Sea of Okhotsk is the southernmost sea that routinely hosts large amounts of sea ice. Although this winter brought unusually cold weather, long-term observations indicate that the amount of ice observed there each year has declined significantly in recent decades. One 2026 analysis noted a 3.4 percent per decade decline in the maximum extent of its winter sea ice since the 1970s. These changes could have implications for the region’s marine ecosystems, which are known for being highly productive and producing massive phytoplankton blooms each spring after the ice melts.
Disruptive snowstorms are also striking elsewhere in Japan. In February, a storm blanketed western Japan in snow, leading to more travel disruptions and the early closure of some polling stations during national elections.

Though I started by once again sleeping til 12:00. But then I got up and had breakfast and coffee.
Then I did what I am very proud of. I got the printer working again. Before I went to Arisia I tried printing out my to do list and discovered the computer wasn't recognizing the (wireless) printer. I had no time then to play with it so I let it be, and I hadn't done anything about it since.
But today I fiddled with it and discovered that somehow something called the MP driver had gotten uninstalled or something. Then I had to find the MP driver (not the printer driver, mind you!) and install it. Allow me to say the Canon website was only marginally helpful. Yes the drivers were there to download... but difficult to locate that MP driver. I did though and got the printer working.
Then I added water to the turtle tank. And then I cleaned the cat pan.
Then I tossed on some clothes (sweat pants and my thermal shirt) and took the dirty kitty litter and the two Valentines for Middle Brother and the Kid, and ventured out into the cold. It's actually warmed up a bit but still was below freezing.
Anyway, I took the litter to the garbage, and walked around the block, and to the mailbox and mailed the Valentines. So they should arrive before Saturday I hope.
Then I had something to eat. And I went to the bedroom and lay down for awhile and played solitaire on my phone.
Meanwhile my limited edition Stephen Colbert Funko Pop has not yet been delivered, although the tracking said it was out for delivery yesterday. So I looked up how to contact Funko and I sent them a message.
Then I Teamed the FWiB. We were going along fine, over an hour, when the Teams crashed and kicked me out. We got back on, but it was annoying. Don't know if it was Teams, or my wretched computer.
The Funko people answered! They said it was normal to have a delivery delay and I should wait a few days before panicking. So I will wait.
Then I had dinner, a Lean Cuisine frozen pizza for World Pizza Day. Tasty. Then I went to the bedroom again, and played on the phone til pet feeding time.
And so I got some stuff done today.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got the printer working without too much trouble.
3. Got the Valentines out.
4. Heard back from Funko.
5. Have Samsung Health working on my phone now to count steps.
I couldn't find that exact image, but the artist might be Boris Vallejo... He has a lot of sports-related illustrations, and some of the images in this card collection seem very similar in theme, although they're lacking the smaller humans you mentioned.

Would hospital care after minor dog attack injuries expose a first trimester pregnancy?
Details: I have a story I'm currently working on set in a modern type world, and a plot point where one of the two main characters is attacked by a pack of street dogs and gets some minor scratch and bite injuries. I'm thinking just a few stitches at most. I can guess they'll need "just in case" antibiotics and rabies shots because of the bites, but would common care involve any tests that would expose an early pregnancy?
Goals: I'm trying to keep the pregnancy a surprise for the other main character later in the story, so a "some hospitals would do these tests but some wouldn't" could be ruled that this time it wasn't done. But if it's very common to do certain blood or other tests that would easily reveal a pregnancy, that's a problem. And having the other main character who's acting as their savior/caregiver in this scenario decide not to get them treatment wouldn't be in character or suit his arc in the story, even with minor wounds that in theory could be treated at home.
Do I need to change details of the attack, or depict this medical team as negligent? Or is the stealth of this pregnancy safe?

So it's been over a month since I posted any thing crafty. I've certainly been crafting, I just haven't had any big finishes. I often think of my crafting approach as "kicking the can down the road." Lots of little steps, sometimes without significant progress. ( So here's the cans I've been kicking. )
