Project done! Despite having found two pearl chokers that I easily could have adapted, I decided to make one from scratch. I didn’t have a multistrand clasp thingie so I improvised one, as you can see, and it worked…moderately well? If I were going to redo this I would probably go to the effort of getting one. The pearls are strung on a nylon coated steel wire, so the necklace is remarkably sturdy. The “blood” on the pearl beads is nail polish–unsurprisingly, I have a LOT of red nail polish–and the drips are strung on fishing line. 

I used a long chain for the clasp and added some heavy beads at the end (that metal thing is hollow filigree, and not as heavy as it looks, but still a nice weight) to keep the choker from sliding. With that much weight hanging down at the back, the whole thing stays centered very well. Please ignore my hair, I just jammed it into a bun so it would be out of the way.

It’s surprisingly comfortable to wear! I don’t know what I’m going to be for halloween this year, but this is definitely going to be involved. I bet I could even get away with wearing it to work, if I don’t have any trials that day.

Just in case anyone needed Halloween ideas…

I’ve been debating doing some embroidery like this on the collar of a black scoop-neck dress to go with this necklace. It would be really cool but I don’t really have anywhere to wear an outfit this extra.

A few years ago, when I was living in the housing co-op and looking for a quick cookie recipe, I came across a blog post for something called “Norwegian Christmas butter squares.” I’d never found anything like it before: it created rich, buttery and chewy cookies, like a vastly superior version of the holiday sugar cookies I’d eaten growing up. About a year ago I went looking for the recipe again, and failed to find it. The blog had been taken down, and it sent me into momentary panic. 

Luckily, I remembered enough to find it on the Wayback Machine, and quickly copied it into a file that I’ve saved ever since. I probably make these cookies about once a month, and they last about five days around my voracious husband - they’re fantastic with a cup of bitter coffee or tea. I’m skeptical that there is something distinctively Norwegian about these cookies, but they do seem like the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. 

Norwegian Christmas Butter Squares

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 egg 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp salt Turbinado/ Raw Sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Chill a 9x13″ baking pan in the freezer. Do not grease the pan.

Using a mixer, blend the butter, egg, sugar, and salt together until it is creamy.  Add the flour and vanilla and mix using your hands until the mixture holds together in large clumps. If it seems overly soft, add a little extra flour. 

Using your hands, press the dough out onto the chilled and ungreased baking sheet until it is even and ¼ inch thick.  Dust the top of the cookies evenly with raw sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees until the edges turn a golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about five minutes before cutting the cooked dough into squares. Remove the squares from the warm pan using a spatula.

So I tried this recipe.

And it is GREAT.

It basically makes the platonic ideal of commercial sugar cookies, only in bar form. When I give them to people (which I do a lot, because this is one of those simple recipes where the results seem very impressive), I just tell them they’re sugar cookie bars.

Heisenberg, Schroedinger and Ohm are in a car…

… And they get pulled over. Heisenberg is driving and the cop asks him “Do you know how fast you were going?”

“No, but I know exactly where I am” Heisenberg replies.

The cop says “You were doing 55 in a 35.” Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts “Great! Now I’m lost!”

The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says “Do you know you have a dead cat back here?”

“We do now, asshole!” shouts Schroedinger.

The cop moves to arrest them.

Ohm resists.

Mounted stock herders or “cowboys” in Europe

A buttero or cavalcante is an Italian mounted herder, usually of horses, cattle, or buffaloes, predominantly in the Maremma region of Tuscany & northern Lazio, or in the Pontine Marshes to the south. They sometimes participate in various celebrations of Jesus Christ's Passion.

In 1890, Buffalo Bill took his Wild West show to Rome (during his tour of Europe) to display cowboy skills. Unimpressed, the Italian butteri led by Augusto Imperiali challenged Buffalo Bill to a contest of skill. The butteri proved far more experienced, & won all competitions.

A campino is a cattle herder in the Portuguese region of Ribatejo. Campinos work on horse-back, using a long pole (a pampilho or lance) to manage and direct the herd. Campinos are also known for their attire, which consists of a green and red stocking cap with a tassel.

The inhabitants of the Spanish city of Salamanca are called "charros". Among these, the inhabitants of the regions of Alba, Vitigudino, Ciudad Rodrigo and Ledesma are specifically known for their traditional "ganadería" heritage and colorful glitzy clothing.

The csikós is the mounted horse-herdsman of Hungary. The csikós tradition is closely associated with the Hungarian puszta (The Pannonian Steppe). It is also closely linked to the Nonius breed of horse.

The gulyás is the traditional mounted cattle-herdsman of Hungary. The gulyás tradition is associated with the Hungarian puszta and with the Hungarian Grey or Hungarian Steppe breed of Podolic cattle. Gulyás is the origin of the word goulash.

A gardian is a mounted cattle herdsman in the Camargue delta in Provence, southern France. The Camargue is known for its beautiful white horses, which are considered to be one of the oldest breeds in the world.

The czaban were the traditional cattle herdsmen of the Polish people. Their cavalry was among the most highly regarded in earlier centuries. From the Middle Ages onward, vast herds of cattle were driven by these cowboys from Poland and Hungary to markets in Germany,

The Vaqueiros d'alzada are a northern Spanish nomadic people in the mountains of León and Asturias, who practiced transhumance, i.e. moving seasonally with cattle. Historically, the vaqueiros were characterized as a free people in the mountains.

awesome!! fun fact: a camargue horse can close its nostrils to search for food underwater in the marchlands
