This was an incredible pizza. I highly recommend the recipe for dough I posted earlier. Toppings:

-shaved red onion
-salted pistachios
-rosemary
-flaked sea salt (Maldon)
-olive oil
-fresh mozzarella

Are there any good #journalists or #news sites I should be following on here?

Making pizza tonight.

Pizza night!

This is the #sourdough recipe I'm using -- a new one to me, but it's the same place that makes my basic sourdough and focaccia, so I have faith.

I'll be using a combo of toppings I saw on @Netflix's #ChefsTable -- sliced red onion, pistachio. rosemary, olive oil, cheese, salt and nothing else. It's amazeballs. #cosocooks #cosorecipes

It’s a weather migraine rainforest m night. The downpour is in about the 12th hour now. I’m enjoying it but my body hates it. Such is life I the rainforest of the rain coast.

Coastal BC’s Harbour Air Seaplanes gets you to some stunning places along the BC Coast. Everyone should have the experience of a seaplane flight at least once in their lifetime. It’s pretty neat.

But maybe not on a stormy day like today. :)

The storm foretold by this morning’s red sunrise is now upon us.

Back when I was playing nomad for a few years, I stayed in great places. I had just started a 3-week stay in a small town calls Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic six years ago this week. It was a moody beautiful little town that swarmed with daytrippers until 5 then emptied out for the evenings until noon.

Don’t just day trip. Stay the night in such places. It changes when everyone gets back on the tour bus.

If you don’t have tortilla chips but you have corn or flour tortillas, you can slice them into strips like I did. Spray with oil, sprinkle with salt, and throw them in an air fryer at 390 for about 5 minutes to get them crispy. Get ‘em extra crisp so they stand up to the soup. #CoSoRecipes #CoSoFood

Made an easy soup — sort of; I made the enchilada sauce myself & cooked chicken, but you can buy a can of enchilada sauce & roasted chicken to make it quickly.

Sauté your veggies — I got onions, leek, carrots, celery, and garlic — and add enchilada sauce, stock, chicken, and corn. Simmer until happy. Season well with salt.

You can complicate it with more stuff like Mexican oregano, bay leaves, etc. but basic is good.

Garnish with tortilla chips, avocado, green onions. Bonus points for lime.

Called a friend on his passive aggressive behaviour. Best friend and it’s something he does to avoid hurting me but it hurts, which is weird.

But feels terrible after saying something in a text and hoping they take it well. Terrifying, really!

The sun is about to set on what mY have been the last double-digit afternoon of the fall. Stormin’ tomorrow through Saturday.

I’m so grateful my work focus has been killer good this week and I finished my only hard deadline early to give myself 90 minutes in the sun. It is astounding what just 90 minutes can do for the soul.

There’s a sunset and a moonrise on opposite sides of the bay now.

Sunny interlude on the deck. Tomorrow, storms come. By Tuesday, possibly snow. I am on day 16 of 49 days in this housesit.

You know, it’s really possible to talk about things other than Trump and Elon.

It really is. Please try harder.

I’ve been having popcorn at night 3-4 times a week here, which I thought would be terrible, but I guess it’s fine. I’ve been having 2 slices of bacon 4-5 times a week for breakfast too. Guess that’s fine too. I really don’t sweat what I eat, but I have a lot less cheese than I used to, is probably the big thing. And I like an air fryer. My air fryer chicken’ll make you slap your granny and holler. Eating better can be tasty as fuck if you know how to cook.

The lifestyle changes that have worked are that I barely drink alcohol and rarely consume much sugar. I don’t buy processed foods and I seldom snack. I just cook real food — including making bread and pasta from scratch. I always go at least 12 hours between eating at night/morning.

I walk a bit more and do Qi Gong. It’s been 2.5 years of just lifestyle changes and the weight is still coming off slowly.
