After watching @3blue1brown 's video on M.C. Escher's Prentententoonstelling, I wanted to know how close Escher's grid (green) came to the "exact" one derived by De Smit and Lenstra (red). The central square seems perfect, but the edges, and especially the corners deviate much more...

Tonight's experiment: Lobster bisque! 🦞🥘
