Kim asked what is the difference between fajitas and soft tacos? I honestly never thought about it, but I’m assuming it has a lot to do with sauteed onions and peppers. The marinade really adds a pop of flavor to chicken, so be sure to prep all of this a day in advance. #larryskitchen

we get Arthur's health issues trending in the right direction with new food and medicine after he wouldn't eat. I guess Cayde thinks he needs all the attention now, because he's turning up his nose at all the food -- even the old stuff that he liked. Cats.

Sunday starter.

Like peanut butter and jam, pasta and cheese just go together so well and easily. With all the varieties of each at your command, putting together a great combination is just trial and error. This baked ziti recipe uses three different kinds of cheese and blends them into a symphony of flavor and texture. #larryskitchen

Now I remember why I stopped playing Destiny 2. The frustration of being a solo player and trying to get through missions where I get past stages in a fight but the whole thing resets if I die. Over 600 kills on a mission where I die with the final boss, but I have to go through all the minions and sub-bosses every time.

when it is Friday and the NWS has issued a Flood Watch for Sunday, you know it is going to be quite bad. time for a taco lesson!

Unexpected vet visit. Not great for all involved.

Fried potatoes are great for breakfast but go just as well with dinner. Cubing them up gets them ready for hash, but adding spices make them just great on their own (well, as a side dish to meat or eggs).

It is impossible to listen to Led Zeppelin as it was intended at levels lower than wall shaking. I stand by this assessment.

Only the original will do. Even if it has to come from across the country.

in the past 48 hours, I've asked K if she would entertain the idea to move east and if she would entertain the idea to move west. I put this here, because if she kills me for wanting to move (again), no jury in the world would convict her with this justification.

Happy Tuesday That Feels Like Monday

checking in on and with friends in Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. so far, everyone is okay and dealing with damage and debris. there are some who are still silent, which is not surprising given the power outage issues there. just hope everyone made it through safely.

Shrimp stew with peppers, corn, and tomatoes over basmati rice. Top with a spicy chipotle sauce. I’m a big fan of one pot meals. #larryskitchen

what is the scientific reasoning for naps? are we napping more than our ancestors? what does it mean if you don't nap?

these are the questions I'm pondering today.

I will teach you the ways of the Force, young one.

The in home bakery was in action today. I don’t have the culinary patience to make these treats, but I will participate in the eating of them.
