read

  • When in doubt, Go for a Walk

    You don’t walk to fix the problem—you walk because you need space from it.

  • What Is Epazote & How Do You Use It?

    Upon first whiff, one might not be inclined to cook with epazote, as it has a pungent, petroleum-like odor. (The word epazote comes from a Nahuatl term meaning “skunk sweat”!) Eaten straight, the leaves can taste like a curious combination of turpentine, mint, citrus, pine, oregano, anise, and mustard greens.

  • In Praise of “Normal” Engineers is a good read, but having spent a year back in a more academic setting, I’m starting to find it jarring just how much this sort of blog post emphasizes “the business”…

watched

  • Finished off NCIS: New Orleans
  • …and started Landman (I’ve already watched this, but TheWife hasn’t)

  • penne with chicken and garlic scape-basil pesto on Monday
  • spinach salad with bacon vinaigrette on Tuesday
