I'm a little embarrassed when I break down a chicken the wings usually end up in the stock bag. What am I going to do with four random wings?

Apparently fry them up in the wok with a little salt and corn starch for a little appetizer while prepping the rest of dinner.

I made a new little MTG App. My simplest but probably most useful.

Ever quickly type out a deck or trade list, but you can't upload it somewhere cause card names aren't exactly right? Run it through the spellchecker to validate and auto correct every card name!

Had a craving for dandan noodles and they came out particularly great.

I improved my noodle workflow too. Turns out it's easier and takes less counter space to cut the noodles to length first and then run them through the cutting roller.

Back in the pottery studio! Session one results:

New year, time to get serous. BIG JAR acquired.

5 months later, tried this fermented tofu and despite my initial skepticism it was a hit! Funky and salty with the texture of soft feta cheese. I will definitely be making more of this and experimenting with the recipe.

Just got this piece made by @nervousjessica.bsky.social and @nervousjesse.bsky.social and it's delightful, as their work always is.

I've added a new feature to the List Formatter. You can now fetch nested attributes.

It's a bit fiddly and you need to use the exact fields names from the Scryfall API, but makes it much more powerful.

Making little improvements as the app has proven useful to folks!

Another day, another bowl of ramen. Some fermentation projects are starting to pay off. Chicken garum was a great addition to Dashi and miso broth. Turnip pickles are my new favorite topping. Fermented hot sauce worked better than expected. (not home made noodles cause I was lazy)

Three new jars joining the ranks of the fermentation station! Attempting to make mirin and experimenting with a few variations with home made rice wine and purple sweet potatoes. I doubt the color will hold, but looks pretty for now.

Should be ready in the ballpark of 2 months to 2 years.

After a month incubating, I finished and pressed "chicken garum." It's funky and chicken-y and very reminiscent of soy sauce. I'm excited to experiment with it.

Following the Noma guide barley koji and roasted chicken with water and salt were held at 140ºF for a month.

Why doesn't Arena let you look at the top cards of your library after you choose to mulligan? If I don't know if I made the right choice how am I ever going to get better?

I'd love to give the fancy new Powered Cube on Arena a try but cannot download Arena because I can't log into the Epic Games Store, and there's apparently zero way to get support.

Isn't that funny!

I love how broken all tech is and being constantly directed to talk to chatbots!

Exactly one year ago I started this jar of garlic misozuke from a recipe in Flavorama. Gonna blame Arielle Johnson for this fermentation rabbit hole I've fallen in.

After about three months fermenting I strained and pressed this rice wine. It's interesting. Boozy and funky. Reminds me most of Koream makgeolli. But I'll just call it "Baltimore home style rice wine." Can't be more than one weirdo in this city growing koji in their basement so probably accurate?
October 31, 2025 at 12:44 PM
So I think I've committed to making "cicada garum" at the next opportunity. 2030 might be a weird year for me.
October 27, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Checking in on my first batches of miso I started about six months ago. Calling this a success! I'm going to give them some more time but confident about starting some more, and bigger batches so I can share.
October 27, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Starting my most intense fermentation project so far. I'm only a little bit nervous, but my DIY fermentation chamber is running smoothly and koji growing for "chicken garum" went great. Will check back in a month!

Ok, NOW I'm regretting a little bit not making it to CubeCon this year. Why am I such a magpie when it comes to trophy pins?
Here's a sneak peak at our trophy pins this year at #CubeCon Now with more✨sparkle✨

See y'all Thursday!

Honored to be on Lords of Limited this week, talking about how to approach drafting unfamiliar Cubes!
Had a blast getting to sit down as long-time-listener-first-time-chatter with @andy.luckypaper.co and @anthony.luckypaper.co to chat winning at new cubes, just in time for cubecon this weekend!

Queuing up my fourth unique performance of "In C." Feeling normal. Thank you @nhassenfeld.bsky.social ❤️

Been too long since I made a good bowl of ramen: home made noodles, pork, bamboo shoots, and a couple come made pickles - soy mushrooms, zucchini, and turnips. The pickles are a nice bright contrast to a rich dish.
October 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Doing some big cooking projects this last week: carrot cake which came out looking pretty tidy, steamed buns with two fillings as a snack for the cube crew, and an enormous lasagna and snack situation.

Had such a blast at Capital Cube Championships this year, and I'm so excited to add this shiny Top 8 pin to my collection! This is how you bait me into playing three drafts in 1 day.

My decks from The Depleted Lands, Tresserhorn Gardens, and Compost Cube.

Had a great time talking about Cube on Untapped Libraries. I feel like I can get in the weeds with fellow cube heads sometimes and it was refreshing to step back and talk about my favorite way to play Magic in a broader way.
