As a chef, your highest honor is to earn a star from a tire company.  It just doesn’t get any better than that.  Sorry, but it just doesn’t.

Same. Tried a few times and but the tough fights took so long I’d start getting impatient, especially when I kept losing and had to keep redoing them. People really love that game so feels like I’m missing out but I just couldn’t get into it.

Classic baby tomato scam

I love them. I think people compare them to soda and feel let down. The trick is to compare them to water. To me they’re like a water upgrade. Some flavor variety and when you’re thirsty I love how the carbonation doesn’t just quench your thirst, it ATTACKS it! Like you feel some mild pain if you drink too much too fast - which is a feature, not a bug!

There’s a YouTube channel called Watch Wes Work I recently discovered. A guy troubleshooting & fixing vehicles & big industrial machines. He’s a humble guy but he’s extremely knowledgeable. I don’t know anything about that stuff but It’s really satisfying to watch him fix complicated stuff while I sip coffee in my pajamas on the weekend.

Mine is similar. I adore music but I can’t lock into a melody to save my life. Songs I love & have heard a hundred times before—I’ll try to hum or whistle along with them and I’m all over the place. It’s like I’m purposely trying to sound bad — but that’s actually the very best I can do.

Library at Mount Char is bonkers. I loved it. It made me realize I like stories that dare to go big.

The Venezuelan tepuis are one of the most fascinating places on earth! I discovered them from a National Geographic story when I was a kid. The world’s tallest waterfall tumbles off one of these mesas. It’s too bad my country (US) has ruined any chance for me to ever safely visit them in person.

In Japan I like how everyone keeps left on escalators so folks have a path to walk up on the right if they want to. Also Japanese drivers were the most careful and patient out of like 6 countries I ever got to visit. Italian drivers were at the other end of the spectrum.

Judging servers feels gross. Awarding and punishing for a meal? We have tens of thousands of meals. A few bad ones isn’t the end of the world. Let’s keep it simple and skip the judging.

My cat likes to stretch out and sleep on the bottom step of my stairs so I have to double check for the stair cat now.

Yeah I think there was a pop the day before to update now, tonight, to remind me later, or to skip. Just kidding, no skip.
