Tasty take-out style dish, adapted for the ingredients that I buy and keep at home. Continue reading

This is my own interpretation of a Thai Basil dish. Easy to make and tasty. This is a spicy recipe and should be eaten with rice. Makes enough for 3-4 servings with rice. Reheats well. The pork can be substituted with chicken or beef, which can be ground or thinly sliced. This is a forgiving recipe, and all of the spices can be adjusted for taste and still turn out great.
This is a recipe for a homemade Neapolitan style pizza. The measurements here can make one pizza, approximately 10-12″. However, I suggest making at least two at a time. 60% hydration dough. The instructions assume a home oven with a max temp of ~525F. If you have a proper pizza oven, which goes higher, then you probably know enough about pizza that you don’t need my advice.
One of my favorite meals due to the savory tomato flavor, and the ease with which it can be portioned out into single-serve freezer packs. This recipe will make 8 or more 8oz servings (for 4oz dry spaghetti), depending on how much you boil it down to thicken. Continue reading
So, about a week ago, my car door lock stopped working from the outside. I’d insert the key and turn it, but it wouldn’t lock or unlock the car, and instead would turn a complete 180. After tearing apart my door and looking in there, it turns out that the operating rod had fallen off the end of the tumbler cylinder, and the clip that is supposed to hold it there had gone rogue.

Finally got my cheapskate butt to pony up the cash for a phone with a camera good enough to read barcodes. I then created a catalog of all the physical books on my bookshelves. Here it is, for anyone interested, but mostly for me to keep track of what I have and who I’ve loaned it to. This was created using the Book Catalogue Android app. I had to manually add some of the older books without ISBNs, so they will have inaccurate information. Continue reading
I recently noticed this image come up in my Facebook feed. To me, it is immediately apparent that there is something fundamentally wrong with the premise of this argument. However, in a brief discussion with the person who posted it, it became clear that she couldn’t see the problem, and insisted that pornography is an issue of male exploitation of women. By the time I typed out a reply, I found that it was long enough to warrant its own article. Continue reading
I was recently given ownership of a Harbor Freight / One Stop Gardens 6×8′ Greenhouse. Having done a bit of research, I learned that the clear plastic panels will not stand up to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight for more than a few years. I will have to replace them eventually, most likely by creating my own. In anticipation of this, before assembling the greenhouse, I decided to record the measurements of every panel. I am also publishing them here, in case anyone else needs them. Continue reading
