One of my life changing purchases that I made during this COVID era is an air fryer. I honestly got it because I wanted to reduce the number of grocery store trips I was making. I was a huge salad eater but unfortunately leafy greens and bag mixes don’t last that long in the fridge.Continue reading “Air Fryer Naan Bread”

New longest distance – 15.8 miles
Well, my marathon training is still progressing even with the number of COVID cases in Washington spiking again. It actually isn’t that bad running outside at this time of year. There aren’t too many other runners or walkers out there. I am using my hiking buffs as my running mask which I rarely need toContinue reading “New longest distance – 15.8 miles”

Unsurprisingly, there is aContinue reading “Imperfect Foods: One Weird Sweet Potato”

Working with nut flours is still giving me some odd results though. I recently made cookies with almond flour and… well… it wasContinue reading “Whole Wheat Biscotti”
Discord YAGPDB Custom Role Commands
A few of my friends asked me recently if I could help them with the Discord bot, YAGPDB, that they use to help organize server roles for people that they play games with. I do love chat bots so I opted to throw some code their way. Specifically, what they were asking for were twoContinue reading “Discord YAGPDB Custom Role Commands”

My Favorite Quick Bread: Irish Soda Bread
I have to say that by far, my favorite quick bread is Irish soda bread. It is something that you can whip up as soon as you wake up in the morning and have with a coffee for breakfast.
