Another green soup just in time for St. Paddy’s Day. I am not actually a big St. Paddy’s Day fan. It just happens that my favorite soups are green. This weekend, I am at my parents’s place so I decided to make this Instant Pot lentil one for them. This soup is great because itContinue reading “Noom Friendly Instant Pot Split Lentil Soup”

Thick Instant Pot Vegan Split Pea Soup
I’ve been using this pea soup recipe for a while now and it is a bit of a favorite with the kids. It is actually less of a soup and more of a mash because of how thick it is. I’m wondering if that is what makes it so appealing to them. Anyhow, I amContinue reading “Thick Instant Pot Vegan Split Pea Soup”
Calling the Shopify Storefront API from a WordPress Plugin
Shopify and WordPress are great 3rd party hosting providers. Shopify lets you quickly stand up a retail Website and WordPress is solid for putting together content oriented ones, like this one. So of course from time to time, if you use both, you will want to make a deeper integration between the two. In thisContinue reading “Calling the Shopify Storefront API from a WordPress Plugin”
New PB 12 minute treadmill run
Well, I guess I’ve been on a tear lately at Orangetheory. Yesterday they had a 12 minute treadmill benchmark run and I kind of crushed my previous best by almost .1 miles. I managed to do 1.94 miles with a negative split which I think means 2 miles is well within reach for me. IContinue reading “New PB 12 minute treadmill run”

Marshmallow Fondant Is A Thing
We recently celebrated one of my kid’s birthdays and I decided to try to up my baking game. I discovered that you can easily make fondant out of marshmallows which is pretty mind blowing for me. Fondant has always been one of those things that I’ve steered away from since you could only buy smallContinue reading “Marshmallow Fondant Is A Thing”
Nocking Point’s Origins Pinot Noir
Well, I have had a chance to try out that collab red wine that Jason Momoa put out with Nocking Point, Dirtbag, and it is fantastic. I am not sure what I was expecting from a red wine by Aquaman but it certainly was a very happy surprise for me. So much so, I’ve alreadyContinue reading “Nocking Point’s Origins Pinot Noir”
Applying Mixpanel to Shopify Stores
Mixpanel is probably my favorite off the shelf analytics platform. More precisely, it is a behavioral analytics platform which means it can help you understand how your users are behaving when they are using your Website or mobile app. With very little effort you can understand how users progress through funnels that you define; whatContinue reading “Applying Mixpanel to Shopify Stores”

Well, it was a little delayed due to snowy conditions but I got my January Nocking Point Coffee Club shipment. I tried the city roast this morning and it was fantastic.
