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.

hemoglobin was too low to be able to donate blood today. making plans to eat like a T-Rex for the next couple of weeks before trying to donate again.

As a kid, my grandmother would always have tamales whenever I would visit. Granted, her tamales came from a can, but I loved peeling away the paper and eating them – as many I could – without knowing how they were truly made. These days, I prefer my tamales in pie form. Just as delicious without the corn husks.

Next destination is in West Seattle. C&P Coffee Company sits inside a renovated home and is quite charming. Smooth latte. ☕️

When you go to a new BBQ place, what must be good for you to go back?

Pimento cheese soufflé smells great, tastes better, but deflates fast. Get that picture as soon as it comes out of the oven!

that was fast but not unexpected. the LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale set is on backorder. we nerds and geeks don't mess around when it comes to really cool stuff.

Look, I appreciate smokers and grills for ribs just as much as the next person. But there are limits to what temperatures I am willing to endure to stand outside next to the grill, especially when I can make something delicious by using my slow cooker.

I have signed so many NDAs lately that I feel like I could get top secret clearance now. explains why all my social media is about food over the past couple of weeks. I can't keep quiet about good food.

Borderlands 3 and all the DLC are now finished. They tugged on the heartstrings more than previous titles. Looking forward to Borderlands 4 when it is ready, but Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is still out there for me now.

Me (playing Borderlands): "These two robots. One is cranky all the time. The other is positive all the time. Who does that remind you of?"

K (thinks for a moment): "Us?"

Me (laughing): "No! Pinky and The Brain! It sounds like they got the voice actors for the robots ... wait, which one of us is cranky???"

checking out my NCAA bracket, which I haven't done in a while because I felt like I was so terrible in early rounds. turns out, I can finish as high as 7th in a 40-person bracket. not in the money but probably my highest finish in many years.

spent the first 2.5 hours this morning "pinned" on the couch with a kitty on top of me. while I tried to enjoy the vibrations of purr and the warmth, my brain was trying to chastise me for not "being productive," which sent me on a death spiral. I don't need a nemesis. I am my own worst enemy.

Why just have chicken Parmesan when you can have chicken Parmesan meatballs with a homemade tomato sauce? Thanks Alton Brown 😱

Tygo: "I'm helping!"

Narrator: He, in fact, was not helping.

Risotto has such a luxurious mouthfeel when done properly. I have struggled with heat and liquid addition in the past, but by taking my time and showing patience, you can achieve rice nirvana as well. Arborio rice seems to make the best risotto.

We visited Triple XXX as our first restaurant in the area when we moved to the PNW a couple of years ago. Great food and experience. Disappointed in the (temporary) closure but excited to see what Burgermaster does with the location. Still need to try their food though.

This corn and rice casserole was the perfect companion for Rothe Steak from cookbook.
