Light lunch at five stones. These might seem like ripoffs but a surprising amount of effort goes into this yogurt bowl of house made granola and fruit compote. The toast is also much more sophisticated with quality sour dough, heirloom tomato and pesto cream. mapnotation.com/geonote/5001...

Decided dragon tonight. These are really underrated

Checked the veg fest. Lots of indian, we got a Bombay sandwich and samosa chaat. You can have better around here specifically at chapata for the same thing. But decent excuse to hand out here and watch the world cup. mapnotation.com/geonote/1769...

Out for a run. Nice day and warm 🫠 Apparently some vegan festival downtown tomorrow. mapnotation.com/geonote/b4ab...

Grilling

Made a pilgrimage. This has the reputation as the best bbq in the state and it is. I do think the brisket is a little underseasoned and salted, but the ribs are really good and the smoked turkey is unique where it is bathed in smoked butt... mapnotation.com/geonote/10a3...

Nosey bear

Nice hipster viet coffee shop. I love seeing modern trendy representations of coffee where my parents are from. The vietnamese coffee is excellent with that great chocolate milk flavors from sweetened condensed milk it's a good representat... mapnotation.com/geonote/94a7...

Neat Lego unofficial Lego store. The displays are better than most official Lego stores for their assemblies. mapnotation.com/geonote/0c59...

I haven't been here a while. Pretty unique, I'd recommend going with pork, the density and texture works better. The massive amount of cabbage helps balance the mayo and fried patty really well. The coleslaw is unique as wasabi edamame it... mapnotation.com/geonote/ae14...

Makes good congee

For two weeks I decided to take a radical kind of vacation. To be at home and have no plan. For 3 days now it's been the best decision of my life.

Gyudon is just my default choice with meat and potatoes. Japanese home cooking is surprisingly lax and easy

Went for Columbian for lunch. Husband and I accidently hilariously ordered the same thing. Not bad, the chorizo has a lot of peppers and spice in it, and the arepa is nicely grilled. I just wish the salsa was more assertive. mapnotation.com/geonote/58bd...

I'm going to confess that I've never been to an automatic car wash in fears that I would get trapped, cause a fire and be a national embarrassment. Not sure I would go again because it feels out of control and if I hit the brakes I might break everything. mapnotation.com/geonote/a1ba...

Husband made char siu which is kinda fun for my white husband to do that for me. Oddly more assertive on the five spice than usual places but a great use of those seemingly useless country style ribs.

Price wise this place isn't far off from hmart. The quality and variety is significantly better too. Great for a party. mapnotation.com/geonote/af3f...

The best cinnamon rolls. mapnotation.com/geonote/9a70...

Good 85f day for acai mapnotation.com/geonote/f8ba...

One of my favorite brunches is a steakhouse that has no one at it on the weekends. We were the only ones but this chicken fried steak and smoked salmon bennidict is as good or better than any "brunch" place. The steak is massive and airy... mapnotation.com/geonote/99da...

DMC 3 is great. maybe greatest of all time action games. Just had to replay it if I wasn't having nostalgia for it.

Did a blind on decafe vs regular on specialty coffee from cometeer with supposedly the same blend. Was able to immediately tell but I wouldn't say it's worse. Intelligentsia black cat regular is more acidic, where decaf is more muted better for milk drinks. Right flavors for morning vs evening.

Rescued Kimi The Kitsune. $10 mapnotation.com/geonote/301a...

tteokbokki. Zucchini isn't typical, but I don't want to eat just a massive pile of carbs.

I see a lot of discourse around Sysco and restaurants and I'm reminded of this old 2007 blog post. sfcovers.com/2007/08/thom... Coming from a Sysco truck is not a reliable indicator of quality. It's the care you put into what you procure.

Acquired a friend

If it feels like people using AI are in two different worlds where people are making it do everything, and yours is struggling to make a meeting properly on outlook, it's because that is what's happening. The command line AI of "copilot cli" vs. "copilot" is worlds apart.

I can't wait for grocery stores to use Ai generated music because they don't have to pay anyone.

Silly British man coffee

has anyone ever done a diaper dinner party?

Oyakidon. But the real winner here is the kobocha squash seasoned with togarashi chili and msg. I wanted to eat all of it.

Goodnites: "what kind of ad should we make?" "can we get Scott Kelly to say that he wears diapers in space?" m.youtube.com/watch?v=VFl3...

Out of morbid curiosity I decided to watch kpop demon hunters. It's surprisingly good. What really surprised me is how self aware it was about kpop, k-drama culture in Korea but directed, written and voiced for an American audience. Idk how that got greenlit but it's kind of awesome it did.

Husband rendang

Renovated RTC. Looks nice. mapnotation.com/geonote/52e3...

First time having Mexican fruit cup. Love the simplicity of enjoying fruit, tajin and chamoy. Pretty sure it's licensed but even if it's not, I'd much rather people hawk and hustle food than drugs. mapnotation.com/geonote/9541...

Brunch at home

I know we have to wear uniforms but this is weird... Where are the pants? What kind of camp did I get sent into?

Got dessert at hui laun shan. It's mango season and they take their mangos seriously. I should come here more often, it's surprisingly refreshing with little additional sweetener, just using good mangos for its sweetness. mapnotation.com/geonote/c71d...

Out in Bellevue there is a pretty unique place even in King County that does japanese yakatori complete with chicken organs of heart, gizzards, cartilage and skin. Some of the best chicken karage I've had, crispy, with citrus marinated and... mapnotation.com/geonote/be27...

I'm a cheap ass.

This doesn't pass the "is this better than Chipotle" test for the burrito. I think the flavor balance is off and the rice and beans are under seasoned. mapnotation.com/geonote/16b5...

Having ABDL diapers available on Amazon was a (great idea) mistake.

I was expecting something very bright and funky. But this free box is actually pretty mellow and pleasent.

Younger me: "yeah I'm only a DL, I really just have a thing for diapers." "older" me:

Stressful week. Just grabbing some simple burgers at coastline. Hot take: bacon on burgers makes it worse, but not going to argue with my husband's order. :p mapnotation.com/geonote/384f...

I unironically would prefer being asked to design a global payment system for 8 billion users for an interview question than ever be asked to reverse a linked list or sort a binary tree ever again.

New cometeer order. Yeah it was $100. But atm it's working for me as an occasional home coffee drinker. Will probably change when I won't have coffee in the office. But I wanted a decent on hand decafe option

Kung pao chicken but with burdock and oyster mushrooms and cilantro. You can substitute a lot and stuff still works.

AI tokens being subsidized explained: -It was a fixed priced buffet. -Too many people were eating too much steak and lobster compared to the fixed price. -It's now Ala carte. -Steak and lobster is naturally expensive.
