rotw #2 // walnut creme fraiche
I am trying to put together a vegan take on caviar, creme fraiche, and a potato of some form. I came across this product called land caviar (tonburi). I thought it would be cool to try it. And I really wanted to try out a recipe with the land caviar. So I ordered some and am giving a…

rotw #1 // sweet ‘n spicy carrots
ROTW (recipe of the week) is a goal to test out one new recipe a week. I got off to a rocky start for 2024 because of work and life, so I have started with a simple one. This was something I threw together. For this week, I tested out sweet ‘n spicy pickled carrots. I am doing…

2024 intentions
I do not love the idea of New Years Resolutions. I think it’s because they seem temporary and only because it’s a New Year and often people do not keep/hold to their ideas. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the idea, but I feel like “intentions” better captures how I feel about it. So for my New Years Intentions,…

💨 💨 pastry
I love taking a risk and trying something new. Usually it takes a million tries to get something right, especially baking. And this baking endeavor is no different. Don’t get me wrong, I am trying this for the first time, but I am confident it’ll take a million times to master. So I took a…

Wifi Access Portals (aka Captive portals)
Why do they exist? You know what I am talking about. When at Panera or Starbucks and the icon at the top of your phone screen shows wifi connection but you can’t, for the life of you, load the Facebook app. You have every reason to believe you’re connected but you’re not. That’s a captive…

Shallow Faucets & Long Sinks
We have all been there. Road trip bathroom stop. You enter a bathroom, which appears to be decades old. You are met by cobwebs, dirty puddles of who-knows-what, and a general stench in the air. Almost a moisture you can’t escape. You take care of business and proceed to the only part of the experience that could offer some respite: washing…

payment terminals #ugh
Can we talk about the design of payment terminals for a second. Yes, I am talking about that piece of technology, been around for a while, that allows you to swipe your credit cards and, if you’re lucky, offers contactless payment. Today I was at Target to pick up a few items and as I…

why, design
Design is hard to define. It is so many things. And it is also not a lot of things. I, honestly, would not know how to begin to define it. So I am not going to. What I will say, design is not just to be observed, but it is to be experienced and is…
