Whole Wheat Biscotti

I’m having a lot of success baking with whole wheat flour these days. In fact, I am rather thrilled that I haven’t needed to make any sacrifices transitioning from regular white flour. 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”

Noom Friendly Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins

Veggie cake is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to bake. You can make something low cal and healthy that also satisfies that cake craving. Sweet potato followed by carrot are my veggies of choice. Sweet potato I find has a natural sweetness to it just like carrot but it is softer and easierContinue reading “Noom Friendly Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins”

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. It takes less than 10 minutes to make the dough which doesn’t need to prove. 35Continue reading “My Favorite Quick Bread: Irish Soda Bread”

Automatic Updated At Fields In Google Sheets

When working on Google Sheets, especially with others, it is often quite useful to have fields that capture when a cell, column, row, or even an entire sheet has been updated. In order to do that, you need to use Google Apps Scripts. Don’t worry if you haven’t really coded before; the sample script belowContinue reading “Automatic Updated At Fields In Google Sheets”

My First Imperfect Foods Box

I finally decided to give Imperfect Foods a try, a grocery delivery service with an interesting twist. Basically, I got tired of going to the store especially with the COVID crisis going on. The lines and social distancing have made getting groceries take so long. In fact, before the crisis, I was getting pretty annoyedContinue reading “My First Imperfect Foods Box”

Local Kubernetes using Docker Desktop

Kubernetes is really starting to be a de-facto standard in how we deploy things to the cloud. It provides a ton of functionality around docker images that it deploys while at the same time making optimal use of the hardware that it is running on. Having worked with traditional servers and then VMs, I haveContinue reading “Local Kubernetes using Docker Desktop”

Nocking Point Coffee Club April Shipment

My Nocking Point Coffee Club shipment has arrived for the month and this time it has come with a lightweight backpack. As a coffee club member, you always get a lifestyle item with your monthly coffee. It’s a nice perk as the beans are already great. I really like this backpack. As a runner, I’veContinue reading “Nocking Point Coffee Club April Shipment”

Pre-order Quarantine Pinot Noir from Nocking Point

I’ve become a rather big fan of the Nocking Point winery. I’ve now made several purchases from them and have been quite happy with their wines and coffees. This month, they are putting out a pretty cool collaboration with The Kutcher Family, the Quarantine Pinot Noir. It is an Oregon based Williamette Valley wine. TheContinue reading “Pre-order Quarantine Pinot Noir from Nocking Point”

Still doing long run reverse splits

With the weather getting better, I am doing more running outdoors. That and my gym is still closed. I am following the social distancing guidelines so that means doing my runs first thing in the morning before there are too many walkers out and sticking to less crowded routes. It is kind of amazing howContinue reading “Still doing long run reverse splits”
