I saw this on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and thought it sounded amazing. Since there was no chance I was going to Vermont, the challenge was set forth to create it at home. The result was something savory, sweet, cheesy, and crunchy. #larryskitchen

the most common phrase I've heard at my new gig isn't "Welcome to the team!" or "Great to meet you!"

It is "That's why we hired you!!"

So glad to be making a positive impact so quickly. Feels great to be appreciated by everyone (so far).

This is a trap. I know it is a trap. Don’t care. Imma pet the fuzzy belly. Remember me. 🐱

Seafood is one of those categories of food where it can go so right or so wrong. But this simple, yet delicious, recipe is incredibly easy, but it does require your attention. Baked fish of any kind can be very sensitive to heat and overcook in a heartbeat. You won’t let that happen, will you? #larryskitchen

Most mimics won’t just show up at your door, but I was able to make it cough up its loot! #DnD #Converse

leaving the Wonderlands and heading for the wastelands of Nevada. I wonder if there are dragons there....

Polenta is grits’ fancy relative. This version combines the creaminess of the corn grits with the nutty, salty flavor of Parmigiano. While it makes for a great side dish for any meal, the leftovers can be fried and served with a marinara sauce for an Italian dinner. #larryskitchen

Allergies have kicked in with a vengeance and are trying to rob me of my voice. Welcome to spring in the PNW.

@JeniRizio real life. birthday party for one of our friends. it turned into a reunion party!

what a great night catching up with friends. I miss seeing these people as often as I used to see them.

when I was laid off 4 months ago today, I packed away all my company clothing swag and put it deep in a closet. this morning, I pulled it all out and started reintroducing it to my wardrobe. I am proud of the work I did/that WE did, and the trauma of the layoff has healed somewhat. it helps I'm doing something special/fun now to help me move on. but I recognize that I'm fortunate. others are still grieving over their loss and have my sympathies.

one of my favorite lines from Tina Tina's Wonderlands. after a villain monologue, my character says, "I wake up and choose evil every day. Get on my level." I adore my character's attitude.

in a recent conversation, I described PR as getting people to the party and described marketing as making sure the people are happy when they get to the party. the description seemed to create understanding on why both are needed.

Pork can be a tricky meat to cook. Today’s pork is so lean and can dry out quickly if you don’t give them some help. Pounding down the thickness means quicker cook times, and a crunchy coating helps keep the chop stay moist. #larryskitchen

Nighttime view. Light hits just a little differently. Still awesome view. ⛰️

Pasta goes so well with so many things. Different meats and vegetables get highlighted and given depth with the starchy goodness. And since pasta comes in so many shapes and sizes, you can customize nearly every meal to individual tastes. #larryskitchen

@LnzyHou good thing I'm a writer, right? 😆

The past couple of weeks have been a carousel on top of a roller coaster as they are building the entire festival around it.

how is that for imagery?

I'd like to say I miss this after moving to the PNW, but the quiet at night says otherwise.

starting the day with a discussion about how to create an army of undead. although doing it during the eclipse would have been a total boss move.
