Runs with knives!
On Saturday 2022-04-09, Wendy & I hosted a dinner for some dear friends we haven’t spent enough time with in too long. Wendy set a beautiful table while I prepped and executed the food. It was a good chance to ‘stretch my culinary legs‘ a…
At game night last night (with Wendy, Grant, and Wes), we played UNFATHOMABLE by Fantasy Flight Games. From the developer’s website: The year is 1913. The steamship SS Atlantica is two days out from port on its voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Its unsuspecting passengers fully anticipated…
Wendy had a significant <ahem> birthday on September 17, 2021. We celebrated on September 19 with 8 folks (Wendy, Beth, Summer, DJ, Alex, Jay, Greg, and me) at our house.
The menu is included here and some pictures of the food! As a welcome, we had olives & cheese with bubbles to drink.
I really enjoyed prepping the dinner — over the course of three days, doing a little bit each day — and executing it on the night of the party. Four of the eight guests are chefs and each one lent their assistance executing a course. I really enjoyed cooking for & with my culinary colleagues, and working together to make Wendy’s special dinner a memorable one!

“It’s the very first snowfall, of a very long year.,..” — Over the Rhine This morning, we woke up to a thin coating of snow on the ground. Seeing a blanket of white is a bit surprising, but then I realized it is December 1,…
I decided one of my goals for the website was to get HTTP2 protocol and SSL enabled on it. Spent some time researching on the internet and found a couple methods that looked easy to implement and somewhat fool-proof.
Well, not THIS fool! I was able to mess up my site 9-ways-to-Sunday before finally turning the corner!
It took a few days and several attempts, but I finally got it working after worrying that my site was going to be forever messed up. But this evening, I finally got it working as expected. As proof, if you look at the URL of this site in your browser, you should see a shiny lock icon, which indicates we’re protected by SSL. It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s an important step forward security-wise.
Trying a different method — no trussing, high heat. I think it worked out really well. The skin rendered very nicely.
