  1. I caught these cool shots of the Oceanside pier and harbor when flying back from Washington recently. I like how you can see the sunset reflecting off the buildings and the waves breaking outside the harbor.

  2. Curried Cauliflower Soup

    This was a recipe we wrote down on a note card years ago. The closest thing I could find online was Cotter Crunch’s recipe which may have been the inspiration. That recipe calls for Kale, but we typically make this with spinach. We are still working on refining this recipe...

  3. Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts

    We were looking for a different way to prepare Brussels sprouts than roasted and found this one from The Pioneer Woman. We added some pine nuts we had from another recipe to add another texture. We rarely use an entire pack of bacon when cooking breakfast, so this was a...

  5. Despite the poor lighting I was really pleased this kingfisher posed enough for me to snap this digi-scoped pic. I lightly edited it for extra mood.

  7. Wings Over Water Birding Weekend 2025

    This month I attended the Wings Over Water Birding Festival in Blaine, Washington. This was the first birding festival I’ve attended but I had been wanting to do more social birding events. We got the idea when a family member recently moved there and my wife and I stayed at...

  8. I’ve really enjoyed the Wings Over Water birding festival this weekend, but one of my favorite surprises was finding the artwork of Laurel Mundy. Her artwork is so vivid and beautiful that we bought a few pieces and I added some to my /stickers page. I highly recommend checking out...

  9. I added my first custom web component to my site to implement a screen wake lock on recipe pages. Nice to get a chance to play with new web APIs.

  11. 🎵 listening to the album Renewal by Billy Strings I haven’t followed contemporary bluegrass but I started listening to Billy Strings’s discography after I saw they won Best Bluegrass Album at this year’s Grammy Awards. Minus some of the trippier songs I’m really enjoying it. There’s something about the string...

  12. Chicken Pot Pie

    This was inspired by the “Brown Sage-Butter Chicken Pot Pie” from page 173 of the Half Baked Harvest Super Simple Cookbook. It’s perfect to pair in a meal plan with Rotisserie Chicken Bone Broth to get the richest broth flavors. I’d also like to compare it with Tieghan’s Skillet Chicken...

  14. Queer Eye Halibut En Papillote

    This recipe comes from Antoni Porowski in Queer Eye Season 9 episode 4 “The Snack Attack is Back” (around the 22 minute mark). The name is French for “baked in parchment” and it uses the paper to seal in moisture and steam the fish. Don’t skimp on the toppings either...

  15. I just got inspired to write some blog posts but I’m discouraged by the long list of previous ideas I haven’t written yet. Plus I usually end up distracted by ideas for improving my site. Anyone have tips on developing a writing habit? I mainly do it because I enjoy...
