365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Name That Object
Day 88: Name that object! There is a clue in the photo to put you on the right track, although I'm willing to bet only a few of you will be able to properly identify it without an assist from Mr. Google. It is essential to making proper Mexican chocolate, and as you will observe, it has never been put to that use. I bought it years ago solely as a decorative item, intrigued by the many rings and intricate carving on the body. The loose rings serve to agitate the chocolate into a frothy, light beverage as the device is spun or plunged up and down in the cooking pan. Bonus points to anyone who can supply its Spanish appellation. Give up? It's a chocolate muddler, known in Mexico and Latin America as a molinillo ("whisk").
