Parrot, 500 (50%)

From Lang, The Complete Book of Origami
It's taken over seven months, but last night I finally reached the midpoint between zero giraffes and 1,000 giraffes. This parrot is number 500. Last night I also made a batch of aebleskiver, but didn't take any pictures. (Perhaps when I reheat them sometime for a snack.) With a cup of milk and three eggs languishing in my refrigerator, as always I was looking for something I could bake and freeze. And also I was looking finally to take for a spin the aebleskiver pan a group of students had given me last spring. Almost as long as I've been working on my origami models, it's been on my counter next to a copy of Beatrice Ojakangas's The Great Scandinavian Baking Book. But as of this morning, the cookbook is now back on the shelf. The pan back in a drawer. And the aebleskiver in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Altogether a very good Saturday night.
