1. For those of you who are new here, a little backstory. I did Twitter threads of cooking simple but tasty meals that would yield leftovers. This is because a few second lieutenants, God love ‘em, had separately DM’d me for cooking tips, as they were in their first adult apartments & had less

Strange new worlds is still a ton of fun. Even when it’s doing the most self referential, aggrandizing and weirdly
fun episodes it’s still entertaining and a small reminder that we don’t live in the worst timeline.

Thinking about my children’s inheritance. Things like this reminded me of the transience of ‘money.’ Yes, my wife might have ETFs and dividends to pass on when she dies, but will it mean anything in 40 yrs , vs the value of experience, education, and ethics that we could pass to our children now?
All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

As a nineties child, I was watching Star Trek: The Original Series last night and had a deep need to watch The Next Generation as comfort TV, because that’s my familiar opening sequence and crew. And it was everything. The shape of that ship, the music, the pastels…

Adding to the topic d’jour. I’m living out of a hotel room (for work) this month and still eating almost exclusively from the grocery store. Some fruit, milk and cereal for breakfast, sandwich bar for lunch, and prepared chicken or pork and rice for dinner. Still cheaper than eating out every night.

It’s an oldy, but still capable of putting out great episodes:
This time I appreciate the conversation in the last half about veteran’s of WWII asking why their children had to fight in another war.

I’ve started braising meat on Saturday or Sunday then using the meat and sauce in various recipes throughout the week. It’s working really well. Need to refine my use for the leftover sauce, but easy way to make 3-4 easy meals through the week. Got the idea here:

If you hate meal prepping, try braising meat instead. Almost every Sunday I’ll put a cut of meat into the oven to braise. Then I have a large batch of cooked, shredded protein that lets me whip up a v...

Wife and oldest were sick at home today so instead of going fishing I stayed home to take care of them and made my first attempt at baguettes.🥖 Wife was happy with both choices.

How the Nazis Lost the War on Amazon is actually a really good WWII docuseries debunking pro-nazi and Wehrmacht stuff. How the Nazis Lost the War
Watch How the Nazis Lost the War Season 1 – Prime Video
How did the Nazis, in the 1930s the most feared military machine in the world, make so many mistakes and bring their country to its knees by early 1940s? For the first time a magnifying glass is applied to the hubris, in-fighting, poor management, and high hypocrisy of Hitler’s 3rd Reich.

This picky child won’t eat new fruit or veggies. Then I sneak some steak under their picky nose and suddenly I’m getting lectures about trying new things, including Daniel Tiger ditties, “You gotta try new food ‘cause it might taste good!”

Got up at 4:45 for a 5am workout and the worst part is that I feel so much better and my day flows better when I get into the gym early. I hate it. I miss 7pm workouts.

This Subaru POS. Less than 25k miles, now on its 3rd battery, 2nd starter assembly, 2nd set of bearings for both sides of the front… I’m never buying another one.

Constant war in our car to set the radio to NPR or the local sports station. With the Phillies playing like these, both are just as sad.
