Carbonara with spaghettoni (thicc spaghetti). With Pecorino Romano and Grana Padano and of course guanciale. Started by toasting some Tellicherry peppercorns. "Cheated" by using a stabilizer (corn starch), and man that made life easy to get a consistently creamy sauce!

물회, mul-hwe, spicy raw fish (and abalone) salad with veg and chojang. Add cold (iced!) beef broth and rice or noodles. Great for this sticky ass weather I'm having in Daegu rn (and why I don't like coming here in May) 👌Also, like $38 for 3 people including an order of tonkatsu I added!

View from my current window in Korea (my "office" at my parent's place). Shitty day, but cool seeing low clouds on mountain tops

First time in Hong Kong! Views of Victoria Park, Kowloon Bay, and Kowloon, from my hotel in Causeway Bay, near Wan Chai. Tomorrow, all the foods 🤤

In Rotterdam today, last day in Europe, about to fly to Korea until almost June. Been here (Brussels actually) a week on bidness, will be working remotely in Korea for a while, but mostly just happy to be out of the States for as long as I can finagle it 🙄

Real fascist shit going on (email from our general counsel). Super happy I got my citizenship last year (for this exact sort of reason)

My reading really drops off this time of year. Last year was BG3, no real reason for it this year. Also, peep those pagecounts per book--I was reading a lot of Brandon Sanderson, Stephen Erikson, 1200 page doorstoppers

Welp, finally paying the price for taking action last year to not to get deported this year
