The man and woman who crossed the street so they could walk in front of me.

Jack Sprat and His Wife

It’s so rare to see such a skinny man in my city, that I had to take a picture.

Pace Yourself

I saw a funny anti-hustle culture video today.

Fuck Saving Daylight

The picture has nothing to do with the subject of this post, but it’s the only one I took today and I don’t have anything to say about it.

All the cool shit I found today.

Gluten-free ramen

Gluten-Free Ramen Hack

This is my first attempt at what I think might be a tasty, quick gluten-free alternative to ramen. It wasn’t a home run, but it has lots of potential and room for improvement.

Cleaning Carpet In The Rain Sucks

Now that I don’t have to go out and clean carpet in the rain, I look back at those days and wonder how and why I did it for so many years.

I'm a farmer

How To Make Spicy Asian Stir Fry Noodles

It was kind of a bummer of a day: cold, rainy, drab. It was the sort of a day for which comfort food was invented. So, I made me some comfort food.
