I used this a variant of this recipe with some salmon (no sugar, longer bake for larger fish, more pepper), and I could just ruin myself if had the time and money to eat this every day

Great sauce! I had some of this spicy chili sauce, Sambal Olek, at a Mediterranean restaurant of all places and had to get the name. I don't think I can have it as much as I would have Sriracha (tingle factor is a bit too intense for that), but it immediately climbed into my list top sauces

My friend was hiding this absolute *beast* from me under his desk 😳

Hey, look: I got a book

to the technically inclined sadist searching for socially acceptable avenues for release, might I suggest the design of motherboard connectors?

just got the last of my parts for my gaming PC build today. should be a fun weekend

maybe I should try neovim

Another screenshot showing lots of reflections

I made up a little demo to play with basic optics (Snell's law and internal reflection). I want to make a little game out of it, but I'm not sure where to take it from here.

"light catering"

I baked some bread in the middle of the night because it's been a challenging week and I like bread

Baked some trout. Covered in kosher salt and sugar over night, wiped off, rinsed off, baked uncovered at 425°F for abt 15min, rotated and back in for abt 10min, on top of oven with the oven on for about five minutes.
I seasoned with black pepper, ginger, sage, olive oil, but no additional salt since it's pretty salty already

it's been too long since I baked a cornbread. seasoned with chili powder, red pepper flakes, and oregano. 😋
it's a but saltier than i recall though. I think I used sea salt previously, but used more finely ground, iodized salt this time. I should convert this recipe to weight measurements...

yep, they are definitely nesting here. apparently a law protects them. I don't mind although I'm worried a call bit about parasites, so I'll probably remove the nest after they've raised their brood for the season

had another go at bagels. they're actually worse than last time in terms of presentation, partly because they weren't properly submerged, but the taste is on point : cinnamon sugar and raisin

I wish I had the cajones to say things like, "#crypto has won". that's a level of confidence about the future I've never been able to muster. I barely have a grasp on the present in a global sense

looks like they hung around😄
(at least, I think it's the same pair. I'm not great at telling them apart within a species)

Later I saw this cat. I thought it might be a ghost because it stared at me meaningfully and I couldn't find it in my viewfinder. Turns out I'm just bad at photography
