A Blast from the Past

Image
I'm a giant Lego fan and a self admitted overgrown kid. I was having a rough week and was feeling very down, so I spent today building the Galaxy Explorer kit. I had the original when I was young and it gave me such great nostalgic vibes while putting it together. :⁠-⁠D

New Tool Bench for the workshop.

Image
I wasn't happy with my ild tool stands so I got this lovely new rolling workbench. It even has a place to stash my air compressor!

A bit fancy for a weeknight

Image
Pasta shells, broccoli, shallots, Fresno chilies, chicken floss, bacon, and a Parmesan garlic cream sauce finished with nutmeg. The chicken floss wasn't quite as fully dried out as a true meat floss, but it worked really well for the dish. Frankly I think it's an under loved ingredient. 

Twisting Poke

Image
Twisting Poke a bit. Marinated salmon, seared tuna, scallion curls, carrot and jalapeno slaw, Fresno chilies, and fried garlic on top of sushi rice and Miso vinaigrette dressed romaine.

Solving a bothersome problem

Image
For years I have taken off my glasses and set them on top of my alarm clock before going to sleep. For years I have knocked them behind my nightstand while reaching for them first thing in the morning. I finally got sick of it and whipped up a hook with my 3D printer to hang them on so it stops happening.

Bruschetta Salad from the Garden

Image
I made this salad with bread that my husband made, tomatoes and basil from our garden, an onion, some shaved parmasan, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Light and delicious!
