    Pro-Tip Tuesday: Messaging your ‘Mate on a Plane

    This one’s going to have terrible photos, people. Also, it’s random. What? You got a video yesterday..

    Video Post: the World is Your Oyster!
    Just Try One…

    The last stop coming back south from Bellingham was at Taylor Shellfish Farm. I was not fond of seafood as a kid, and growing up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and no saltwater, who could blame me for only eating the fresh sunnies and walleye my parents would catch on a day off?

    Are you a klutz like me, always spilling liquids when you pour them from one container to another? Try this trick I learned from my father, the chemist! I like to imagine him pouring oodles of liquids from beaker to beaker in his multiple decades of work. Hint: having a utensil helps. In summary, if…

  • How to Beat the Heat: Office Edition (Skill Level: Beginner Cook)

    Here in the Pacific Northwest, folks are still getting used to having more than a week’s worth of 80+F degree weather. Many houses don’t have air conditioning, and even offices can feel pretty warm. Mine is LEED-aspirational, which means the temps swing up and down just outside most people’s comfort zone, and certainly outside mine.…

    Run Away and Nurse Your Broken Heart in the Woods with a Hot Toddy

    Sometimes, don’t you just want to set the world on fire? No? Well, maybe at least shake it around a little to tell it to behave itself better? Doesn’t the state of it just break your heart some days? Let’s go back to setting things on fire. I extra-think plenty on the things that are hugely…

  • Exercise vs Food: which one wins?

    Per the poll a while ago, random musings on exercise vs. food was one of the high-ranking elected topics. Honestly, folks, I got a little stuck on this one.* Apparently, I felt two ways about this enough that when I went back to try and finish this post, I discovered my Past Self (she’s more…
