Store your fruit salad in a strainer inside a larger bowl. It keeps the fruit above the juices, and you can just take the strainer out and dump the juice out of the bowl every so often. The fruit stays fresh much longer!4yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/foodhacks
I just returned from 69 days in Antarctica. I came back with some great scientific data, a whole lot of pride in myself and my teammates, and the coolest day-tracking spread I've ever done!4yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/bulletjournal

We had a beautiful paddle on the Seine this morning, and were thrilled to see a family of river otters just north of Abinojii Mikanah. It's wonderful to see wildlife on our rivers in the city!10mo ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/Winnipeg

There's a hundred things that I wish went differently with this bowl, but I am so proud of the result. Malachite inlaid in walnut, turned on a mini-lathe. A 40th-anniversary present for my geologist parents.4yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/turning
These guys popped out of the water less than 10 feet in front of me while I was photographing a different group of Adelies in the distance. McMurdo Station, Antarctica, this past January.4yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/penguin

I took a one-day woodturning class this weekend, and they provided lovely pieces of ambrosia maple for blanks. Then my husband and I filled it with buckeyes from the tree in our backyard.5yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/turning
I only have a mini-lathe, but I was determined to turn some bowls anyway. It's not the most convenient setup, but it works! This is about 4.5 across - maple with lapis lazuli inlay.4yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/turning
Pens and seam rippers for stocking stuffers this Christmas. I’m very glad to have these finished before it gets too cold in my workshop!2yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/turning

Saw a Goblet of Fire for the first time in forever today. Backed out to cast my trace charm as soon as I saw what it was. It disappeared into thin air as soon as I backed out 😥4yr ⋅ BlueIce64 ⋅ r/harrypotterwu
