Oh geez — we are disconnected from the jetway but still sitting at the gate, and FlightAware is showing JFK having departure delays of an hour or more.

This is gonna be a long day, I suspect.

Menu for the upcoming week:

• Sun: brisket, brussels sprouts (also making chicken stock)
• Mon: sour cream chicken enchiladas, black beans
• Tue: tomato soup, grilled cheese sammy
• Wed: Thai basil chicken
• Thu: braised oxtail, roasted garlic mashed potatoe

And then next Sunday, I'll be making the turkey stock from last year's turkey for this year's Thanksgiving.

I’m having enchiladas de mole at a Michelin starred restaurant tonight and you’re almost certainly not.

QED I win.

Drive back from Seattle took 4 hours, 49 minutes — car says average speed 45mph. (I can't say I didn't stop because the traffic was ass but I can say I didn't get back out of the car after I started.)

Good to be home but apparently it's summer now and I'm moist and I hate it.

Frens, I was sitting out in the porch and I had to get up and change out of shorts into full length sweats and I think this is the best PNW beginning-of-summer weekend EVAR

There is currently a new Covid variant that's starting to circulate in Australia.

It's lineage name? "FK.1"

Again, it's feeling more and more like the writers are just utterly phoning it in at this point.

TIL there's a winemaker in Salem that has one varietal that is made completely by hand, with no electrical power at all – it's produced through a combination of horses, humans, and various bike-powered devices. They even ship it to the distributor, up in Portland, by canoeing it up the Willamette River! It's also really good wine, recommend if you have a chance that you check it out!

I've been trying Safari for the last couple days as a potential "GTFoff of Chrome" option and ...hooboy it's rough. Maybe Firefox is better?

Chicken Caesar salad pro-tip: brine the chicken in lemon juice and salt, about 4-6 hours, then pepper it well, oil both sides, and grill.

If you’re making your own dressing (…you are making your own dressing, yeah?) you already have fresh-squeezed lemon juice from that, so make the dressing earlier in the day and brine the chicken in the excess lemon juice. The dressing is better with some melding time in the fridge anyway

I sat down to throw together a quick blog post with an image dump from my recent NYC trip with @west_winds and somehow there’s no trivial CLI tool to batch web-optimize and resize images that allows you to say “make the bigger dimension X pixels wide and preserve the aspect ratio”? So now I’m gonna be writing something to detect landscape vs portrait orientation.

I swear I wrote this before in, like, 1998, how is this not a thing.

(Also how is ImageMagick still the best tool for this JFC…)

I'm currently in the middle of completely re-arranging my office and my biggest takeaway is HOLY CRAP i need to have, like, an annual event where i move stuff away from the walls and clean it because 7-ish years worth of dust is A LOT.

cough cough

Fucking shitheads doing booms AGAIN, during a red flag warning.

I don’t hate it here but there’s a long list of folks I’d kick the fuck out if I was able.

Office re-organization complete! Really wish I’d remembered to take “before” pictures, but:

Looking to the right from the desks, we have file cabinet, book cases, and miscellaneous storage.
In the corner opposite the desks, there’s a little book for reading, gaming, napping, etc.
Looking back at the entry door, more storage, water cooler
