But one of my favourite things I've ever written was this magazine feature (with my photography too) about the problem of trying to resume my nomadic life in the wake of my father's death and how it affected my travel experience, and how the history abroad helped temper my loss:

So about me: I write for a living, but you probably haven't read me as most of what I do is SaaS and B2B writing for companies and corporate blogs.

But I was a nomad for a few years, travelled through 25 countries, and sometimes I wrote for places like the Washington Post, like with this:

@AnnetteTRemain Thanks. :) Joined in May but haven't been using it a lot.

If you're just getting rolling here, get your personal profile set up or people like me won't follow you -- it's pretty sketchy if you don't have a landing page.

So, I guess I better dust off my account here if the Other Site is going to hell in a handbasket with the stupid billionaire. Here goes.

I'm Snarkysteff on Twitter ergo same-same-but-different here.

@j_holtslander Haven't been looking but I guess I'll start. Sigh.

@Kelownagurl They have richer yolks. They sell them at my neighbourhood store, I just buy a dozen a month. I use them for baking, mayo, and making pasta. It's next-level for carbonara, but the yolk cooks faster than hen yolk so you have to be on your game with it. They're also much larger. The yolk weighs as much as a whole hen egg, if not more.

@Cronfest if you can’t change the world, change yourself. It’s a good way to out that negativity to work. Good job!

I should add that while my food may seem a bit elaborate or decadent, I’ve been losing weight eating this way. It’s amazing how much you stop eating shitty snacks and stuff when you ramp up your cooking to make meals truly enjoyable. Satisfy yourself and it’s easier to eat better.

My weightloss is slow and steady, about 60 pounds in 2.5 years, but it’s through lifestyle changes, not dieting. I’m making sustainable choices that don’t feel like they’ll be hard to maintain forever.

When you make your own mayo with duck eggs and you make your own sourdough bread, the sandwich game feels more high-stakes.

Breakfast sandwich today — pummelled some fresh basil into my mayo and generously slathered the lightly toasted bread. Added some salted tomatoes (salt them for 20 minutes before assembly and press out the juice with towel/paper), avocado, bacon, and a scrambled egg.

Sunset tonight in Victoria, Canada. Still waiting for the first warm one of the year. The 60-70km winds tonight were not conducive to warmth. But… pretty. Worth it. Hot chocolate time now!

It’s camas flower season here in Victoria, Canada. A magical time of year. But we are having a chilly spring and tonight is no exception. #nature #flowers

Tonight’s dinner — homemade duck egg pasta with a simple ricotta/spinach/lemon sauce. It’s so easy to make. I recommend pureeing the ricotta to avoid curdling. #cosocooks #CoSoRecipes #CoSoFood

Pimped up my banana toast because I’m copping out on dinner. There’s a tiny bit of butter under the peanut butter. Then it’s finished with Maldon flake salt. It’s the little things. I’ll make proper dinner tomorrow.

@234north my guess is that’s likely a temporary thing as they work to build better hosting for the massive influx of new users.

@PlanettePMary good luck! If the eggs are getting too thick with flour, mix in more buttermilk brine. Just roll with it. :)

I have also made zucchini fingers (and homemade tzatziki) with the “drizzle oil into bread crumbs instead of spraying the outside” method of air frying too. I should definitely try it with chicken fingers too. #CoSoCooks #CoSoFood #CoSoRecipes

@Kelownagurl don’t see why it wouldn’t work!

@Kelownagurl I have not! I haven’t been using it a lot. But I did it with the zucchini fingers everyone adored the photos for:
