I have been rolling my eyes at the Apple goggles generally, and then -- after reading about some sort of Zeiss lens eye correction that one will be able to add -- grumbling about accessibility. But then i thought, wait, shouldn't augmented reality be able to help correct vision? Here's a pre-Apple announcement article about just that. I ponder how much i would love telephoto to macro strength glasses that not only corrected my vision but could also zoom in on distant birds or enlarge detail. The device would have to have to work in a self contained mode -- no constant network connection needed -- to be interesting. Do not want to wait on external cloud processing to see.

Blackberries are coming in and i want to make something. This recipe -- https://dinnerthendessert.com/blackberry-crumb-bars/ -- looks rich but attractive. The crumb mixture is both the base and the topping, which is a very nice feature for minimal fuss cooking. I'd be happy to hear other solutions. I just barely have the two cups of blackberries at the moment.

Imitation crab was on sale and -- while the sale product was gone -- Christine and i both had meals we wanted to make with the stuff.
I had looked up what one can do with it and found a sushi bake casserole like recipe. Make sushi rice, spread on bottom of baking dish, sprinkle furikake, make a mix of the imitation crab and seasoning and mayo, spread, sprinkle furikake. The furikake available at the grocery store was just black and white sesame seed and nori, so i've ground up the nori i have had on hand for probably too long and bought "tuxedo" sesame seed to mix in. And i added onion powder. Wasn't quite up for adding chili flakes yet. Some sort of dried fish and or dried miso sounds like a standard ingredient; nothing like that on the grocery shelf. Once i dry the mushrooms that were on sale, i think that might be nice to add. (And i suppose i could dry some miso paste.) Maybe add powdered ginger? Never saw that mentioned.
Christine wanted to make sandwiches so while hers was an Old Bay seasoned, tomato and provolone sub, i had mine on Hawaiian rolls. I made a mayo mixture with hot sauce, tamari sauce, and sesame oil and used my furikake base mix. Not bad!

Just read a blog post about using miso powder because salt is bad for you. I laughed and laughed. (Random internet resource says miso is about 3% salt, so sure, a 1:1 replacement is going to be a reduction, but the images did not look like a 1:1 reduction. It reminds me of an add touting cream cheese as lower in fat than butter, but never have i seen butter spread as thickly as people spread cream cheese.)
