Recipes

Welcome to my kitchen! This is where the crazy stuff happens. Sometimes between all the spilled milk and burned toast, a delicious creation is born; when it is, I write a little something about it and post it here.

Reading has been an integral part of my life. As a kid I kept a dictionary by my bed while I read at night, and sometimes I’d just read that (nerd alert)! If you only read non-fiction, try reading some fiction now and again (and viceversa); both can be rewarding experiences.

This distance used to be soul crushing for me. This morning it was just a nice run before work. The road to health is a turbulent one; the key is to keep traveling it.

My doggie went adventuring this weekend. Over 10 miles hiking, 2 miles running, and 10 hours on a paddle board. After two shampoos and multiple brushings, he’s finally clean again. He had the time of his life.

Even when the water is rushing, don’t forget to stop and breath. 
From the Tao De Ching, Book 8: “Supreme good is like water.
Water greatly benefits all things, without conflict.
It flows through places that people loathe.
Thereby it is close to the Way.

A good dwelling is on the ground.
A good mind is deep.
A good gift is kind.
A good word is sincere.
A good ruler is just.
A good worker is able.
A good deed is timely.

Where there is no conflict, there is no fault.” - Lao Tzu
