Today we were explaining triathlons to our youngest and she thought we said they included swimming, BAKING, and running...and now I want that to be a thing
Swim 750 meters
Bake a chocolate layer cake
Run 5k
As a palette cleanser: here's an old blog post I wrote about the history of the Pepper's Ghost illusion, still used in entertainment to this day! skullsinthestars.com/2016/12/20/d...
Breakfast today is an egg white omelet with ham, spinach, cheese, and then topped with a spicy garlic hot sauce. Normally I like a mix of egg whites and whole eggs, but we're out of the latter 🍽️🍜
Dan dan noodles have been very present in my internet wanderings so I improvised something with what I had (chili crisp, peanut butter, spaghetti...etc) and it came out pretty good (taste better than photo) 🍜🍽️
Grilled pork shoulder steaks for the first time tonight. I cooked them to about 140-145F then wrapped them up to rest until dinner time. I'm pleased with how they turned out. 🍽️😊
This was me going in for one last taco last night for Taco Tuesday.
You can't really see the garlic scapes, I sliced them pretty thin before sautéing them with the rest of the ingredients but the flavor was phenomenal.
I took some of them, sliced thin like I'd slice scallions, threw them in a sautee pan with butter, diced red onion, candied orange, and black beans with a little crushed chile, cumin, a dash of cinnamon, and some diced leftover BBQ chicken breast. About to have a hell of a taco.
Watching theme park YouTube videos as a parent means constantly wondering if my child is crying or just some kid in the background (we're planning a cedar point trip if anyone here has recommendations)
I probably should harvest my garlic scapes this week...I'm thinking of putting some on a pizza. What else should I put on the pizza? (Sausage? Potato?) 🍽️🍜
Not much cooking today, but I did take my girls to the zoo...and I got myself a treat when we stopped for snacks. This is something like a passion fruit or guava IPA and was a solid choice for a hot day
That chuck steak from last night was part of a Costco pack and so tonight I ground some of it for burgers, and some is getting braised for general shredded beef consumption
Thinking of how shitty the internet has become, a good time to remind folks that I still write my own blog, filled with science, history of science, posts about weird fiction, and more! skullsinthestars.com
Experimented with the reverse sear using a "can of smoke" to sort of smoke a chuck eye on the grill tonight...I am very pleased with how it turned out 🍽️🍜
The bunnies have eaten the snap pea plants I started from seed and all the pepper and tomato plants I bought...the only stuff left in my garden is the garlic and potatoes
