Yes!
Two slices of Sicilian pizza, one with pepperoni and one with sausage and onions.

Holy shit.
The pizza looking melty and nicely browned on the edges with the pepperoni curling and crisped invitingly.

Dough laid out, mozz applied, toppings added. Into the oven, we go!

Whipped up the dough and it’s resting/rising for a couple hours. Now I’m fixing the sauce and letting it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
The ingredients for the pizza sauce, including oregano, red pepper flakes, sugar, garlic, and a large can of whole peeled tomatoes. Nine or ten cloves of garlic sautéing in a sauce pan with oregano and crushed red pepper flakes. The assembled sauce, simmering on the stovetop.

I love liquids and Luis Diaz.
My coffee table with three drinks on it: a blue Nalgene bottle filled with water, a skull and crossbones coffee mug with black coffee, and a smoothie in an FC Bayern souvenir beer cup.

I done did it.
A big portion of bulgogi next to a pile of chili crisp scrambled eggs topped with sliced green onion, on a white melamine plate that’s modeled to look like a disposable paper plate.

That’s the stuff.
The pot of chili, which has clearly thickened and reduced since the earlier photos.

Chili incoming~
Gathered ingredients for my chili sitting on my cutting board — including ground beef, chorizo, a can of beer, three types of beans, enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, garlic, and yellow and white onions. Not pictured, are chili powder, cumin, bay leaves, cracked black pepper, and a splash of fish sauce. All of the ingredients mixed into my blue Dutch oven, simmering on my stove.

Saw some kickass trees today!
A row of trees with leaves that have turn vibrant red, orange, and golden yellow. The blue sky is bright beyond them with little scattered clouds.

Nice little morning!
A view from the peak of Mount Mitchell. A sign at that reads “MOUNT MITCHELL, HIGHEST PEAK EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, ELEVATION 6684 FT” A big ol rock on a trail at Mount Mitchell. A sign that reads “Elisha Mitchell, 1793-1857, Scientist and professor. Died in attempt to prove this mountain highest in the eastern U.S. Gravel is at the summit, 285 yds. S.”

Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
A view of a stream from my hike this morning. The sun is beaming through the trees with some of the trees turned oranges and water running through and over lots of rocks. A small, rustic wooden ladder leaning between two large boulders. A photograph looking upstream with leaves scattered across rocks and colorful trees in the background. A bridge over a running stream.

After this week, it felt like a good weekend to run away to the woods.
A photo from a bridge overlooking a small river. It’s sunny and the leaves are beginning to change colors. My hand holding up a partially consumed clear cup containing an IPA. Im the background, there’s a dartboard, a taxidermied beaver, and several vanity license plates that read things like “❤️LOL”, “I CLIMB”, and “TITMAN.”

No big deal to me 😎
A screen capture of an email from the Train Heroic fitness/workout app. It reads "Andy, you've logged 6,000,000 POUNDS! [with a graphic that says "YOU'VE LIFTED 6,000,000 POUNDS"] Are you sure you're not BIONIC? Next up: 7,000,000 pounds"

Took a bit, but wrapped up Super Mario RPG for the first time!

Trying to be humble here. And yet…
A beige plate with a serving of fries and the most delicious little cheesesteak I’ve ever made (this is the first [proper] cheesesteak I’ve ever made).
