26˚C in the middle of December is just wrong. Unfortunately, while it has been that hot here in Durham, there’s been ice storms in Texas (!), so Stacie is currently stranded there until further notice. Hopefully she’ll be back in time for the chocolate weekend of doom next weekend (orders at falloutdurham.com close on Thursday!), and manages to get out of the airport today.

Not much to talk about at the moment, sadly; I’m winding things down and packing for my return home in two weeks, making checklists for the upcoming chocolate marathon, and so on.

Instead, I’ll leave you with the TATE MODERN IN GINGERBREAD. YESSSSS.

(I would resize it, but then you’d lose the wonder)
