Ready to scale new and familiar heights this week. No mountain is too big!

Sundays are diner days in #larryskitchen, where I try to recreate classic diner dishes. Chicken croquettes are warm and crunchy and can be easily eaten if you have a dental problem like I do right now.

I have learned when a Vietnamese restaurant asks you how spicy you want your dish and tells you 3 = spicy, 4 = very spicy, and 5 = will make you cry, you should take them at their word. I went for 4 and that was just right for me. Ordering 5 is just asking for the chef to go nuts.

temporary crown came off, and I accidentally swallowed it. the tooth is super sensitive now. this is going to be an unhappy weekend.

for me, there is always Poe quote that fits.

love the visual representation. not sure if I like the ghost or the raven better? (why not both?)

Burritos are one of the perfect foods. No, don’t ask me to list them all. They are packed with flavor, very customizable, and super portable. This one has my most favorite spice mix in the world – Old Bay! #larryskitchen

got an electric car as a loaner while my Jetta is in for recall service. first time driving an electric. The ID.4 is way different than my usual mode of transportation, but I don't hate it. It feels like a spaceship, which is right in my nerd wheelhouse.

The warlock has joined the party. This is a completely different Eldritch Blast. #QuestsEndWhiskey

chatting with a colleague about my current job situation (which is trending positive) and he ends the conversation with this.

"I'm not going to wish you luck. You don't need it. I've seen your resume and LinkedIn profile. You have all the skills. These companies just need to wake up."

That was really nice to hear. But I'll take all the luck anyone wants to push my way.

Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
#TornadoTwins in for a regular vet visit.

Redbud the treant: "I’m interested in the safety of all living things."

Bam (the homicidal cleric): "What does that feel like?"

I know there was some unintended dental work yesterday, but the jaw hasn't felt this bad since I was accidentally hit in the face by a hockey goalie who was trying to clear the puck.

He is just so smart but does some of the dumbest things. Guess he takes after me. #Cayde 🐱

I now know how Two Face feels with half of my face numb from the dentist. My supervillain arc begins again.

getting a late-night call from the East Coast is not a good way to wind down for sleep. in fact, it does the exact opposite of winding down and sleep.

Astro Bot getting me into the holiday spirit, which should be a year-round holiday, but I'm working on it. #AstroBot

it is a pretty great day when friends, colleagues, supervisors all send you a great job opening (that is absolutely in my wheelhouse) and encourage me to apply. taking nothing for granted. will absolutely make my best showing for this. but I love the support!

are you #TeamMadame or #TeamMonsieur? Either way, #larryskitchen will show you how both can be delicious and easy to make.

Finished Star Wars Outlaws. Really enjoyed the story and play. Definitely had a “HOLY 💩!” moment toward the end of the story. Side missions to still clean up though.
